Dante's Modernity
One of the most prominent political philosophers of the twentieth century reads Dante's Monarchia, showing the surprising relevance of this radical fourteenth-century treatise that defends the necessity of universal monarchy and its independence from the Church for modern political theory. Judith Revel's accompanying essay submits Lefort's encounter with Dante to a transformative mis/reading and ties it to current debates on the question of the c…
Weathering
Weathering is atmospheric, geological, temporal, transformative. It implies exposure to the elements and processes of wearing down, disintegration, or accrued patina. Weathering can also denote the ways in which subjects and objects resist and pass through storms and adversity. This volume contemplates weathering across many fields and disciplines; its contributions examine various surfaces, environments, scales, temporalities, and vulnerabilitie…
Herrschaftszeiten! Theopolitical Profanities in the Face of Secularization
This article starts from the observation that Giorgio Agamben, in making the Roman sacratio the emblem for the modern political condition, passes over the peculiarities of the curse as a speech act. He suggests that Walter Benjamin offers the tools for such an analysis and hence for determining the linguistic conditions of political theology. He demonstrates the curse's ineluctable role in the theopolitical programs of Carl Schmitt, Martin Buber,…
The Delirium of Praise
The art formerly known as "theory" has, in the face of adversity, undergone remarkable changes. Its discourse no longer runs towards the commonplace (difference, the postmodern, alterity, etc.), but trickles through the cracks and crevices of hidden influences, rumored allusions, secret loyalties, and curious coincidences. The resistance to theory or theory's own paranoid entrenchment--depending on one's point of view--has not only anecdotalized …
Kant Spacing Out
When Immanuel Kant died 1804, he left on his desk twelve fascicles of manuscript that he had been working on since 1795, impeded by a progressive marasmus, until, in December, 1803, he became incapable of signing his name.4 Soon after Kant's death, his survivors judged the manuscripts to be unfit for publication. As early as 1805 they became a public affair, when the periodical Der Freimiithige oder Ernst und Scherz demanded publication,5 and sin…
