Abstract
My presentation makes sure that, to look at the ordering of the (post) modern world, it is important to grasp some processes in which the space of "Camp" for "human beings in excess" who lose their spaces to belong politically in the interstate system is created. Camp neithier is solely the space that can be generated by determinate individuals, groups, or states, nor is grasped simply with moral opinions about events that took place in camps. For example "brutality", "inhumanity", "irrationality" and so on. It is the power to divine and order the global world or the human beings that generate the Camp. The sense to argue the Camp as material space in which human bodies are held from the view point of the large scale of world politics that we cannot experience directly or locally, is to understand that Camp is a singular political space which the modernity or postmodernity have generated structually and has always been able to generate potentially.
