AUTHOR APPROVED
More than any other thinker, Giorgio Agamben shows us that philosophy is also a matter of style, and politics a matter of poetics. This book explores the unexpected and illuminating paths that his work traces across the territories of law and literature, linguistics, dance or cinema, in search of a new idea and practice of the community. It offers an irreplaceable introduction to one of the most fascinating thinkers of our time.
Jacques Rancière
12 new essays, with a contribution by Agamben himself
Gathering established and emerging scholars, this collection explores Agamben’s thought from broad philosophical and literary concerns, underpinning its place within larger debates in continental philosophy.
Contributors include Alexander García Düttmann, Deborah Levitt and Thanos Zartaloudis.
Justin Clemens is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Melbourne. Nicholas Heron is a PhD candidate in the School of Communication and Culture at the University of Melbourne. Alex Murray is a lecturer in twentieth-century literature at the University of Exeter.
