The Pornographic Age, Alain Badiou Minus something indefinable, A. J. Bartlett and Justin Clemens Brothel as Category, William Watkin

Reviews

In 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. A. J. Bartlett and Justin Clemens' translation and Afterword are superb, accurate and illuminating. * Kenneth Reinhard, Professor of Comparative Literature, UCLA, USA *
