Description
Matthew Calarco and Steven DeCaroli, eds. Giorgio Agamben: Sovereignty and Life. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press 2007. Pp. 289. US$60 (cloth ISBN13: 978-0-804-75049-3); US$21.95 (paper ISBN-13: 978-0-804-75050-9). Doubtless, Giorgio Agamben's work in political philosophy has left its mark in Anglo-American academia. Beginning in the mid-1990s with the publication of his influential Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life, Agamben has fundamentally contributed to a fundamental rethinking of the nexus between sovereignty and life, in such a way as to reinterpret the very history of both concepts and their applicability. Particularly at a time when contemporary sovereign practices create geographic spaces of legal indeterminacy and strip individuals of juridical status, Agamben's work provides an important conceptual apparatus for addressing these events.
