Apocalypse Again

Another chance to read my piece on Eurozine; unremixed I'm afraid. Currently working on my paper for Rotterdam, which will focus on political disorientation as self-serving motif, the concrete v. the abstract, and the relation of politics and philosophy, all via Kant, Heidegger and Schmitt, with perhaps some Badiou/Jameson thrown in (as the bifurcation of 'political' Marxism and 'economist' Marxism). Then on to the planning for HM 2010 and, volcano willing, a holiday...


Saturday chairing a panel at this internal event if you're on the south coast and the weather isn't good... Starts at 1pm, registration shortly before

Sounds interesting- though I'm uncertain how Badiou can even be considered a "political" Marxist!

well, around TS how the political determines the 'essence' of Marxism, at the expense of the economic (which I'd tend to say is a residue of Maoist-style voluntarism), not that he's Ellen Meiskins Wood 'political' Marxism, of course (although some weird synthesis might be amusing
