This paper attempts to define some of the central ideas of the Benjaminian messianism and the readings on this topic, primarily, the debate between Giorgio Agamben and Jacques Derrida. Our hypothesis is that there would be two differentiable messianisms in the thought of Benjamin, where one of them corresponds to the idea of rupture of pure disruption, while the other would be anchored in the idea of crypt or weakness of the voices of the vanquished. Finally, we try to make a criticism of the need of a mediation illustrated than the logic of the revolutionary awakening involves.
