“Confrontation in the Global City” (or) Violence/Terror as a New Nomos
Abstract
“The Nomos of the globalization” described usually with reference to
Carl Schmitt refers to transformation on “understanding of earth” from
territory-base order to non-territorial world. But territory / space is today
very significant determinant factor interpreted as an absolute geometric
norm. Struggle for freedom is still territorial while visa, passport, refugee
camps, border wall, wire fencing and “ditches” must be seen as consecrating
practices on space. The city, however, described as a space of “the
nomos of the globalization” has been transformed to the space of “global
counter-terrorism”. Both “Conventional warfare” linked to the “battlefield
in open confrontation” and guerilla/brigand “terror” linked to the “mountain
/ jungle” have already been “urbanized” through threatening urban
life. Therefore the new “nomos” relied upon intense violence and hatred
has been produced. This new nomos that Agamben can suggest shall be a
beginning of the end of “the city that we know” by actually disappearance
of the jungle in favor of the city.
