Pretty interesting but not groundbreaking at all. The final essay is about time, and it is probably the most original article in the book. It is the only article that calls for rereading, and I sort of want to reread it next to the sections about time in 'Society of the Spectacle. Dec 19, Brian Kubarycz rated it it was amazing. It's about time somebody wrote this very important little essay.
No doubt by now many readers have spent years attempting to extrapolate or reconstruction some firm notion of what might be contained in the near-ubiquitous terms. And no doubt those efforts have in many instances been well rewarded, provided a variety of speculative insights and critical applications. Still, it was necessary that someone do the careful philological footwork and establish the actual genealogy of the term, tracing i It's about time somebody wrote this very important little essay.
Still, it was necessary that someone do the careful philological footwork and establish the actual genealogy of the term, tracing it back perhaps not suprisingly to the young seminarian Hegel and his studies of early-Christian orthodoxy.
Nobody better to undertake that task than Giorgio Agamben. Jan 09, Colin rated it it was amazing. I've actually only read the titular essay, but it offers a clear, concise exposition of Foucault's later work on security, and Agamben's elaboration on the nature and function of apparatuses is superb. A must read for anybody with an interest in Foucault and biopolitics more generally. I'm a little bit disappointed with the lack of depth in Agamben's discussion of profanation as a tactic for unmaking apparatuses, but it's a short essay that seems like it's meant to gesture toward future studies, I've actually only read the titular essay, but it offers a clear, concise exposition of Foucault's later work on security, and Agamben's elaboration on the nature and function of apparatuses is superb.
I'm a little bit disappointed with the lack of depth in Agamben's discussion of profanation as a tactic for unmaking apparatuses, but it's a short essay that seems like it's meant to gesture toward future studies, rather than exhaustively discuss any of the topics he touches on.
Nov 05, Chris Schaeffer rated it really liked it. Maybe history will wonder why anybody would choose to sit around reading Agamben on New Year's Eve. Maybe history won't be able to furnish an answer. I know what an apparatus is now. And honestly, the last essay, 'What is a Contemporary,' is worth the modest price of the whole very short book alone.
Sheds some much-welcomed light on the messianic model put forth in 'What Time Remains' by way of Benjamin. Dec 30, Chris rated it really liked it. Nifty little book contains three essays dealing with the Apparatus from Foucault but in context of Agamben's work in 'Homo Sacer' and 'Kingdom and the Glory'; Friendship in dialogue with Aristotle and Derrida ; and Contemporariness. If found the third essay to be most intriguing, but then again I have an ongoing fascination with the question of temporality.
Not a bad place to tread some ground for those new to Agamben. Must read! En fin introduktion til Agamben og hans forfatterskab. Sep 14, Yuling Chen is currently reading it.
