Book: The Royal Remains: The People's Two Bodies and the Endgames of Sovereignty
A book that will have a hard time living up to the expectations raised by the author's friends: Eric L. Santner (University of Chicago), "The Royal Remains: The People's Two Bodies and the Endgames of Sovereignty" (University of Chicago Press, May 2011).
Endorsements: "Eric Santner's The Royal Remains stands out, not only as the most important book on political theology of the last decade, but as a classic ... My reaction to reading this book is of wonder and awe; it is as if a new Benjamin (with the added features of Freud and Lacan) is walking among us." (Slavoj Žižek, University of Ljubljana/Birkbeck, University of London)
"To read any work by Eric L. Santner is to enter a crowded, glorious, and alien world. A brilliant contribution to democratic and literary theory, political theology, secular studies, and aesthetics." (Bonnie Honig, Northwestern University)
Just how much of this is hyperbole?
