The sacralization of language in Giorgio Agamben - or on how life became sacred in the West

This article aims to situate the concept of childhood that underlies the theory of language in Giorgio Agamben, despite identifying its processes of sacralization. For this it will be divided into two main parts. Respectively, at first, we will seek to situate the concept of childhood, bringing the notions of experience and Voice to the fore in our debate. Namely, it is with them that the author situates his critical theory about biopolitics. In the sequence, we will then move on to the dynamics of sa-cralization of language - carried out through the oath -and the consequent sacralization of life. In the end, we hope to be able to sustain the impossibility of completely evading religious interference with human culture, since they would operate at very deep levels, such as the case of ontology.
