I am happy to announce that Edinburgh University Press has offered me a contract for my monograph on Agamben. I will be working on revising and finalizing the text over the next few months and anticipate submitting the final manuscript to the publisher by December 31.
Ich bin ein Teufel!
I have received my copies of Florian Klug’s German translation of The Prince of This World — Der Fürst dieser Welt! 
New Book and Translation Projects
This week I was offered an advance contract by Fordham University Press for an essay collection. Tentatively entitled What is Theology?, it will bring together previously published, unpublished, and freshly written essays exploring the relationship between philosophy, political theology, and constructive theology. I plan to complete the manuscript by early next summer.
Last week, I submitted a proposal and writing sample to Edinburgh University Press for my current work-in-progress, a monograph on the thought of Giorgio Agamben with an emphasis on the ways it changes and adapts in response to world events and new intellectual influences. I anticipate completing the manuscript within the next several weeks.
Finally, I was offered a contract by Seagull Press to translate Agamben’s Il Regno e Il Giardino (The Kingdom and the Garden), a study of the role of the earthly Paradise or Garden of Eden in Western thought.
Essay in new Italian anthology on Agamben’s work
Some scholars organized a major edited volume on Agamben’s work to commemorate the full publication of Homo Sacer, and I have an essay in it — an Italian translation of “The Theology of Neoliberalism,” from my book with Colby Dickinson. Details here.
Agamben’s Creation and Anarchy available for purchase
My translation of Giorgio Agamben’s Creation and Anarchy: The Work of Art and the Religion of Capitalism is now available for purchase, directly from Stanford University Press or from Amazon. The book collects a series of lectures that were delivered in 2012-2013 (so at the time he had just finished Opus Dei and was finalizing The Use of Bodies) and includes a combination of new and familiar themes.
Upcoming seminar on Heidegger
On Thursday, June 27, I will be doing a mini-seminar in Chicago on Heidegger’s “Origin of the Work of Art,” under the auspices of the Interccect reading group. Details can be found here.
