The Work of Giorgio Agamben

For [those] bewitched by Agamben, this collection is self-recommending. For those curious about Agamben in the context of recent European thought, the essays by Düttmann, Schütz and Murray should prove stimulating reading. And for connoisseurs of the theoretical essay I would recommend Formis. -- Richard Fitch, independent legal and political philosopher * Marx & Philosophy Review of Books *
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
