Human rights protect and violate life. Here the problem is not only with closure or exclusion, but with the powers that capture or are constitutive of human rights. On the one hand, human rights posit the sovereignty of the human being vis-a-vis the sovereignty of the state. Although this is "another sovereignty," but isn't roguishness built into sovereign power? On the other hand, as .Mitchell Dean, developing on Giorgio Agamben's homo sacer, argues: "Bio-politics captures life stripped naked (or the zoe that was the exception of sovereign power) and makes it a matter of political life (bios). Today, we seek the good life [through] the extension of the powers over bare life to the point at which they become indistinguishable." Constituted by sovereign power, zoe is the constitutive outside of bios and reveals the real power of sovereignty. But, Mitchell argues, bios and zoe are becoming indistinguishable, and so are the living and the dead. The living therefore becomes the living dead whose loss is not seen as loss. And the sovereign exception (this roguish power) becomes a permanent feature of political life-the state of exception (which abandons life from the law) is folded into the state of normalcy, mainstreaming bare life. Dean writes.
