Re: AUT: AGAMBEN - State of Exception

["Anthony iles" <a_529@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Martin,

Apologies for the blank message, the treachery of webmail.

I've sent you one of the fragments translated from the book to you off list,
I'll have to get the rest to you when I get home later today.

What you are working on sounds very interesting, and relevant to some of the
ways we were also reading the book. Personally, I found this a really
demanding text but as one of the most credible geneologies of the state of
exception, 'in which we live' ...essential reading.

I'll probably repeat this call again at a later date but if there is anyone
on the list who is interested/or already working on translation of the book
into English, I can pass on the extant translated chapters and put them in
touch with a group who have expressed interest in working on such a project.

Anthony
