Articles: Meeting Opposites: The Political Theologies of Walter Benjamin and Carl Schmitt / Secret Agreements and Slight Adjustments: On Giorgio Agamben's Messianic Citations
Just published: Marc de Wilde (University of Amsterdam), "Meeting Opposites: The Political Theologies of Walter Benjamin and Carl Schmitt" ("Philosophy & Rhetoric", 44 [4], 2011: pp. 363-81).
Quote: "Challenging existing interpretations, this article shows how the political theologies of Benjamin and Schmitt are not static but developed in the course of their dialogue, in which both authors respond to each other's criticism by changing and correcting their own positions in significant ways."
The author of another article on Benjamin and Giorgio Agamben just asked me to post a note: Jason Thomas McKinney (University of Toronto), "Secret Agreements and Slight Adjustments: On Giorgio Agamben's Messianic Citations" ("The Journal of Religion", 91 [4], October 2011: pp. 496-518).
Excerpt: "I would like to critically examine some of Agamben's citations of Paul, Benjamin, and a few others. I want to argue that in certain cases both Paul and Benjamin are ultimately misread. These errors are, to be sure, more strategic than careless ..., the deployment of one form of messianism against another."
