The end of the poem. Studies in poetics

Stanford Univ Pr, 1999. Paperback. Pp: 148. This book, by one of Italy`s most important and original contemporary philosophers, represents a broad, general, and ambitious undertaking"nothing less than an attempt to rethink the nature of poetic language and to rearticulate relationships among theology, poetry, and philosophy in a tradition of literature initiated by Dante.The author presents �"œliterature�"� as a set of formal or linguistic genres that discuss or develop theological issues at a certain distance from the discourse of theology. This distance begins to appear in Virgil and Ovid, but it becomes decisive in Dante and in his decision to write in the vernacular. His vernacular Italian reaches back through classical allusion to the Latin that was in his day the language of theology, but it does so with a difference. It is no accident that in the Commedia Virgil is Dante`s guide.The book opens with a discussion of just how Dante`s poem is a �"œcomedy,�"� and it concludes with a discussion of the �"œends of poetry�"� in a variety of senses: enjambment at the ends of lines, the concluding lines of poems, and the end of poetry as a mode of writing this sort of literature. Of course, to have poetry �"œend�"� does not mean that people stop writing it, but that literature passes into a period in which it is concerned with its own ending, with its own bounds and limits, historical and otherwise.Though most of the essays make specific reference to various authors of the Italian literary tradition (including Dante, Polifilo, Pascoli, Delfini, and Caproni), they transcend the confines of Italian literature and engage several other literary and philosophical authors (Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, Boethius, the Provençal poets, Mallarmé, and Hölderlin, among others).

The Kingdom And The Glory: For A Theological Genealogy Of Economy And Government.

Stanford University Press, Palo Alto: 2011. Softcover. Brand new book. Why has power in the West assumed the form of an economy, that is, of a government of men and things? If power is essentially government, why does it need glory, that is, the ceremonial and liturgical apparatus that has always accompanied it? In the early centuries of the Church, in order to reconcile monotheism with God's threefold nature, the doctrine of Trinity was introduced in the guise of an economy of divine life. It was as if the Trinity amounted to nothing more than a problem of managing and governing the heavenly house and the world. Agamben shows that, when combined with the idea of providence, this theological-economic paradigm unexpectedly lies at the origin of many of the most important categories of modern politics, from the democratic theory of the division of powers to the strategic doctrine of collateral damage, from the invisible hand of Smith's liberalism to ideas of order and security. But the greatest novelty to emerge from The Kingdom and the Glory is that modern power is not only government but also glory, and that the ceremonial, liturgical, and acclamatory aspects that we have regarded as vestiges of the past actually constitute the basis of Western power. Through a fascinating analysis of liturgical acclamations and ceremonial symbols of power: the throne, the crown, purple cloth, the Fasces, and more: Agamben develops an original genealogy that illuminates the startling function of consent and of the media in modern democracies. With this book, the work begun with Homo Sacer reaches a decisive point, profoundly challenging and renewing our vision of politics. Translated into English from the Italian by Lorenzo Chiesa with Matteo Mandarini. Giorgio Agamben, an Italian philosopher and political theorist, teaches at the IUAV University in Venice and holds the Baruch Spinoza Chair at the European Graduate School. His most recent works available in English translation from Stanford University Press include What is an Apparatus? and Other Essays (2009), Nudities (2010), and The Sacrament of Language (2011).

Language and Death: The Place of Negativity

University of Minnesota Press,Minneapolis Oxford/- 1991. Translated by Karen E. Pinkus with Michael Hardt (Theory and History of Literature, vol. 78). Index and bibliography. Original fine Hardcover cloth, no DJ - in clean perfect condition. - vii, 114 S. (pages). isbn 0816619360 - Giorgio Agamben (* 22. April 1942 in Rom) ist ein italienischer Philosoph und Essayist. Er lehrt an der Universität Verona, an der European Graduate School in Saas-Fee und am Collège International de Philosophie in Paris. Agamben ist inzwischen einer der meistdiskutierten Philosophen der Gegenwart. Dabei hat er erst seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre internationale Aufmerksamkeit erzielt. Kennzeichnend für sein Selbstverständnis scheint zu sein, dass er sich nicht auf die Rolle als akademischer Philosoph oder Literaturwissenschaftler festlegen lässt. Vielmehr nimmt er - ähnlich wie seinerzeit Adorno - ebenso kritisch wie engagiert zu Themen der Zeit Stellung. Immer wieder provozierend ist dabei vor allem sein direkter Zugriff auf aktuelle rechtlich-politische Fragen, besonders im Zusammenhang mit bioethischen und biotechnologischen Aspekten („Biopolitik).

Nudities.

Stanford University Press, Stanford: 2010. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Encompassing a wide range of subjects, the ten masterful essays gathered here may at first appear unrelated to one another. In truth, Giorgio Agamben's latest book is a mosaic of his most pressing concerns. Take a step backward after reading it from cover to cover, and a world of secret affinities between the chapters slowly comes into focus. Take another step back, and it becomes another indispensable piece of the finely nuanced philosophy that Agamben has been patiently constructing over four decades of sustained research. If nudity is unconcealment, or the absence of all veils, then Nudities is a series of apertures onto truth. A guiding thread of this collection: weaving together the prophet's work of redemption, the glorious bodies of the resurrected, the celebration of the Sabbath, and the specters that stroll the streets of Venice: is inoperativity, or the cessation of work. The term should not be understood as laziness or inertia, but rather as the paradigm of human action in the politics to come. Itself the result of inoperativity, Nudities shuttles between philosophy and poetry, philological erudition and unexpected digression, metaphysical treatise and critique of modern life. And whether the subject at hand is personal identity or the biometric apparatus, the slanderer or the land surveyor, Kafka or Kleist, every page bears the singular imprint of one of the most astute philosophers of our time. Translated into English from the Italian by David Kishik and Stefan Pedatella. Giorgio Agamben, an Italian philosopher and radical political theorist, is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Venice.

The Sacrament Of Language: An Archaeology Of The Oath.

Stanford University Press, Stanford: 2010. Softcover. Brand new book. This book is a continuation of Giorgio Agamben's investigation of political theory, which began with the highly influential volume Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life. Having already traced the roots of the idea of sovereignty, sacredness, and economy, he now turns to a perhaps unlikely topic: the concept of the oath. Following the Italian scholar Paolo Prodi, Agamben sees the oath as foundational for Western politics and undertakes an exploration of the roots of the phenomenon of the oath in human experience. He rejects the common idea that the oath finds its origin in religion, arguing instead that the oath points toward a particular response to the experience of language, a response that gave birth to both religion and law as we now know them. This book is important not only for readers of Agamben or of continental philosophy more broadly, but for anyone interested in questions relating to the relationships among religion, law, and language. Translated into English from the French by Adam Kotsko. Giorgio Agamben, an Italian philosopher and radical political theorist, is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Venice. Stanford University Press has published eight of his previous books: Homo Sacer (1998), Potentialities (1999), The Man Without Content (1999), The End of the Poem (1999), The Open (2004), The Time that Remains (2005), What is an Apparatus? and Other Essays (2009), and, most recently, Nudities (2010).
