Article: The Hermaphrodite Sovereign: Walter Benjamin, Carl Schmitt, and the Permanent State of Exception
On the uses and abuses of the state of exception: J.D. Mininger (Vytautas Magnus University, Lithuania), "The Hermaphrodite Sovereign: Walter Benjamin, Carl Schmitt, and the Permanent State of Exception" ("Baltic Journal of Law & Politics", 3 [2], 2010: pp. 144-64).
Quote: "This article re-imagines the textual relationship between Carl Schmitt and Walter Benjamin as one of much greater affinity than has typically been granted to it. This reworking of their textual relationship draws largely from a study of how and in what ways the figure of the sovereign in Walter Benjamin's study of the German Trauerspiel can be read as a response to Carl Schmitt's theory of sovereignty as found in Political Theology."
