Philology at the end of history
Erich Auerbach’s 1952 world literature essay has become canonical for the contemporary disciplinary field organised under this name. But the context in which Auerbach wrote his essay was different to those in which it has been received and demands reconstruction on its own terms. In the immediate postwar period, Goethe’s concept had been recommended as a tool of international cooperation. Yet this vision presupposed the continued existence of a c…
The Superhuman Origins of Human Dignity
This article aims to clarify the stakes of the reading of Dante that concludes Ernst Kantorowicz's 1957 book The King's Two Bodies. It does so by reconstructing the relevant argumentative contexts for appraising it, starting from the account of the sovereign individual that Kantorowicz developed in his 1940s lecture courses at the University of California, Berkeley. It argues that, for Kantorowicz, Dante's articulation of an exclusively human dig…

Liturgical Power
To the question that animated the twentieth-century debate on political theology—namely, whether Christianity is exclusively a religious phenomenon, which must separate itself from all things political, or whether its concepts instead underpin secular politics, thereby conditioning and informing its practices—this book advances a third alternative: Christian anti-politics, it contends, entails its own distinct conception of politics. Yet this pol…
Capitalism as Religion
This chapter is the first translation into English of Agamben’s essay ‘Capitalism as Religion.’ It develops on Walter Benjamin’s thesis that capitalism is an extreme form of religion by considering the role that money plays in the capitalist cult. Agamben argues that the theological content of capitalism was clarified by the end of the gold standard in 1971 because money no longer refered to a concrete thing whose value it represented, but rather…
What Is a Minister? Toward a Theory of the Instrumental Cause
The Ungovernable
This article seeks to deepen Giorgio Agamben's brief investigation of the Foucauldian technical term dispositif, by locating it (and the triple structure which articulates it) in the larger context of his own contribution to the genealogy of "governmentality." Following Agamben's reconstruction of the Christian paradigm for the divine government of the world, it explores the singular relation between governmental dispositifs and concurrent modes …
The Work of Giorgio AgambenLaw, Literature, Life
Giorgio Agamben has emerged, in the past five years, as one of the most important continental philosophers. This burgeoning popularity of his work has largely been confined to a study of the homo sacer series. Yet these later 'political' works have their foundation in Agamben's earlier works on the philosophy of language, aesthetics and literature. From a philosophy of language and linguistics that leads to a broader theory of representation, Aga…
The Work of Giorgio Agamben
GBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup('ISBN:9780748634620'); '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…
