Homo Sacer "the Sacred or the Accursed Man"

Homo Sacer "the Sacred or the Accursed Man"

A film from the 2011 riots in London uploaded to the Internet ignited a firestorm and the young immigrant who robbed an injured student lying on the street was recognised. In fact, it was a hoax used by the documentary thriller directors to uncover the mechanisms of creating and receiving media messages. The double meaning of the concept of homo sacer also makes a starting point for the reflections on the way in which “others” are perceived today.
