Telos of the Camp
In this paper the author presents Hannah Arendt's warning that totalitarian solutions may outlive totalitarian regimes and Giorgio Agamben's thesis that Auschwitz and Omarska are essentially the same. If they were right, as Kurelić tries to show, the reincarnations of totalitarian spirit are the exact opposite of what the European Union was designed to be. The prevention of the WWII-type horrors on the continent was one of the self-understood foundations of the entire project. We now know that, as far as preventing wars in Europe goes, the project is seriously flawed. In that respect the European failure should serve as a troubling example foer those who think about global prevention od anti-human behavior. Kurelić argues that evil is the unintended telos of the camp, and that Arendt's theory of totalitarianism still explains more than Agamben's predatory biopolitics.
