Giorgio Agamben – The Homo Sacer series structure in visual form

Posted on April 14, 2014 by stuartelden

Thanks to Nicholas Dahmann for updating this image. According to some reports, II, 4 will not be published and the designation of Opus Dei as II, 5 may have been an error. L’uso dei corpi [The Use of Bodies] is the last planned volume.

[update: In comments André Dias notes that the forthcoming Stasis is advertised as Homo sacer, II, 2, and this means Il Regno e La Gloria [The Kingdom and the Glory] is II, 4.]

HomoSacer800

It is available to download in various size jpgs – 800×1035; 1280×1656; 1600×2071; 2550×3000 – and pdf.

Seen from the Window – the view from my NYC apartment

Posted on April 14, 2014 by stuartelden

Seen from the Window

I’m staying on East 12th Street (corner of Broadway) for the next few weeks. I am right opposite Strand Books… There is a grill over the window, hence the somewhat murky image.

9780748640805.coverGiven the subtitle of the book – Philosophy in the Making – the analysis was always going to be outstripped by the work being produced and translated. So it is good news that Graham Harman’s book on Quentin Meillassoux is going to be reissued with new material. More details here.

Verso’s Undergraduate Reading List – and last days of their 50% + e-book sale

Posted on April 13, 2014 by stuartelden

bkbf09_28Verso have updated their suggestions for an alternative undergraduate reading list. It would be a very well-read undergraduate to complete this list.

Also worth mentioning that their excellent sale – 50% off many books, free postage, plus the bundled e-book, if available – ends on Monday 14th April. Bundling paper and e-copies is a very good move, which I think many more publishers should follow.
