LUCCA, Juan. Walter Benjamin y Carl Schmitt: Words exchanged in a silent dialogue of rough times. RF [online]. 2009, vol.27, n.62, pp.89-113. ISSN 0798-1171.

The present paper, seeks to oppose the written production of Walter Benjamin and Carl Schmitt, searching the links and breaks of theirs philosophical or political view, concerning to concepts like state of exception and sovereignty. We propose a reading -in chronological order- of his works between 1920 and 1930, like a mute dialogue, in which the starting point is common but the critiques and the distance among both of them become more evident and abysmal.

Palabras clave : Walter Benjamin; Carl Schmitt; state of exception; sovereignty.
