(Ir)Rationality & Praxis

Chapter V presented the purpose and validity of the semiotic square as a tool by which to structure the multifarious interpretations of rationality and irrationality. Chapter VI furthered this desideratum by citing Agamben’s argument for the relegation of the state of exception from the judicial realm to the realm of realized and possible sovereign power. This chapter therefore will round out the theoretical edges proposed in the previous two chapters by providing evidence of the state and exceptional state rationality as verbally and physically framed by the citizens and state officials.
