Abstract
The article discusses a book by the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben, Remnants of Auschwitz. The author concentrates on three sets of issues, constitutive for the questions raised in the book: the issue of a specifically understood testimony, the issue of corporality (the figure of the “Moslem”), and the issue of language (as well as of the subject), memoirs from the camp. The text is concluded with a polemic with Agambena’s theses.
