Извънредното положение: „човекът извън закона“ и „правото да се убива“
State of Emergency: „An Outlaw“ and „The Right to Kill“

Summary/Abstract: The article represents a sociological research on the system of power relations between the state of emergency and anomic violence. The research is based on empirical findings from special Bulgarian legislation, adopted and enforced in the interwar period and during the time of establishment and imposing the totalitarian communist regime. The basic analytical question is: in what manner, within the historically varying national context – during the period 1919-1925 and during the period 1944-1951 – a fundamental relationship between „an outlaw“ and „the right to kill“ is politically and juridically constituted. The ultimate purpose is to search for a well-grounded answer of: what is the social constitution of the outlaw within the bourgeois codifications “rogue/ terrorist“ and within the communist codifications “reactionary/counter-revolutionary”.
