Bartlett and Justin Clemens Brothel as Category, William WatkinReviewsIn The Pornographic Age, Alain Badiou argues that the dominant ideological fetish of our times is the word democracy itself - that is, democracy not in its original meaning of the shared power of the demos, but in its contemporary perversions in the smug self-definitions of the neo-liberal State.

Bartlett and Justin Clemens' translation and Afterword are superb, accurate and illuminating. * Kenneth Reinhard, Professor of Comparative Literature, UCLA, USA * Author InformationAlain Badiou is a world-renowned French philosopher, formerly chair of Philosophy at the École Normale Supérieure, France, and founder of the faculty of Philosophy of the Université de Paris VIII with Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault and Jean-François Lyotard.
