The essays in this volume, including a new piece by Badiou himself, reflect the formative traditions that shape the background of his political thought. They intervene critically and evaluate the present state of Badiou's work, while also breaking new ground and creating new thresholds of political thought. It includes a range of established scholars and rising theorists of the Badiou-effect, each engaging with the critical question of 'how to transmit the exception' politically, at the intersection of contemporary anti-imperial polemics and debates that strike at the heart of the post-modern condition (Lyotard), deconstruction (Derrida), psychoanalysis (Lacan-Zizek), biopolitics (Hardt and Negri) and pedagogy (Ranciere).
Marios Constantinou received his PhD from The New School for Social Research in New York. He is currently an independent researcher. He has edited 2 journal special issues, Space and Event (special issue on Badiou), for the journal Environment and Planning, Pion Publications, 2009 and Imperial Affect for Parallax (Routledge, 2012). He has also contributed numerous chapters in books on the work of Alain Badiou.
