RESUMO

The presente study of the literary work of José Saramago, a portuguese writer, reveals a profound criticism to the structure of power in modern society, as well as, its politics. The hereby presented reading of the novel Ensaio sobre a cegueira, which was published in 1995, intends to perform an interpretative approach based on the studies of the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben Reading of the state of emergency. His work follows the studies of the French philosopher Michel Foucault regarding the power devices used by society to create a specific sort of life which is designed according to political purposes. The main thesis over which the presente work is constructed reveals that the bare life can be excluded when na emergency state is declared, and as a resoult, life can be killed
