This chapter engages with Agamben's ontologisation of sovereignty and biopolitics, disentangling these two forms of power and reasserting Agamben's famous figure of 'bare life' as a sovereign subject of freedom rather than an abject object of sovereignty. It demonstrates the strategy of resistance that ensues from the Foucauldian ontology of concrete freedom is the very opposite of the conventional critical quest of the purification of political order from its obscene excess of sovereignty. Instead, the ontological affirmation of sovereign freedom rather leads us to reasserting this constitutive excess of order while refusing its very positivity. However, the discussion permits to claim that the very notion of human rights is meaningless in the biopolitical terrain of late modernity. In the condition of both the politicisation of the biological and the biologisation of the political the subject's entire existence becomes amenable to governmental interventions that operate in the zone of indistinction between bios and zoe.
