Critique of Violence Event at Long Sunday
Long Sunday's event on "Critique of Violence" began today. I will be participating on Tuesday.Long-time readers may remember that "Critique of Violence" was the topic for the first session of the now-defunct (or is it?!) University Without Condition. A lot has happened since that time. Maybe I've learned a lot -- or learned a lot about the extent of my ignorance. (It was also a significant point of reference for Sovereignty Week.)
It'd be awesome if I did mine as a comparison between Benjamin's essay and 2 Thessalonians or something. Agamben has already opened up the new rigorous academic discipline of "Paul and Benjamin Juxtaposition Studies," so I'd be right on time, even though 2 Thessalonians is probably not a real letter of Paul. But Schmitt liked it! (Bringing in Paul could also be significant in terms of the blog title "Long Sunday" itself -- but would that make me too religious? I'm nervous now.)
