The three essays collected in this book offer a succinct introduction to Agamben’s recent work through an investigation of Foucault’s notion of “apparatus” (or dispositif), a meditation on the intimate link of philosophy to friendship, and a reflection on the singular relation with one’s own time that we call contemporariness. The evening will also offer a sneak peak of “Nudity,” Agamben’s forthcoming book.

The event will take place at Bluestockings Bookstore and is free (suggested donation/purchase the book).

Please see UPCOMING EVENTS for more info.
