Summary/Abstract: Starting from the analyses by Saunders associated with the potential of post-colonial figure of ‘zombie’ (live-dead / dead-alive), the article presents the argument in support of the usefulness of that figure in politics analyses concerning contemporary and discussed issues associated with it (related to, e.g., representation, significance of political divisions, etc.). This figure, in conjunction with the the role of the individual and social impotence as a characteristic of the (post) modern condition, allows going beyond - according to the presented arguments – the appearance/pretence of political and social discrepancy, which makes the de facto politics impossible, despite the fact that it maintains its management attributes.
