Résumé
If the raising is a power, is it the power of what? How does it manifest? Towards which direction does it develop? Is it by any chance a power to end it all? It is the thought of Giorgio Agamben that «raises» these issues and, paradoxically, it is also the one that must «be raised» to answer these questions. Definitely, it is the one that is needed to be inquired for grasping how the raising can be actually translated as the power of-non, namely the power of non-doing. In order to do that, the contribution goes through the work of Agamben and – at the same time – it goes around the notion of inoperativity shaped by the author, which is bound to the idea of the power of non-doing. In particular, the article outlines the terms in which the ethic of the inoperativity – conveyed by the act of refusing – it already implies a politics of inoperativity. A politics that must be thought of as purely destituent: able therefore to exhibit the emptiness of political power. Taken literally, this ability, however, ends up for being vain, just as it turns out to be when the inoperativity is simply assumed as the opposite of the opera (work) and its ultimate place is contemplative life.
