The Insurrections Series at Columbia University Press–Forthcoming Titles

http://crestondavis.wordpress.com/2012/05/11/the-insurrections-series-at-columbia-university-press-forthcoming-titles/

For the past few years, Slavoj Zizek, Clayton Crockett, Jeff Robbins and I have developed the best new academic book series in the English speaking world.  We have already published 14 titles from such luminaries as Gianni Vattimo, Jack Caputo, Alain Badiou, Judith Butler, Peter Sloterdijk, Richard Kearney, Catherine Malabou, Stanislas Breton, and Arvind-Pal S. Mandair. 

In addition to these leading theorists, we published an awarding winning book by Mary-Jane Rubenstein, Strange Wonder: The Closure of Metaphysics and the Opening of Awe.  The renowned artist and film director, Udi Aloni has also contributed an extraordinary book What Does a Jew Want? (featuring Slavoj Zizek, Alain Badiou, and Judith Butler). 

Considered the leading Continental philosopher in the United States (in the wake of Jack Caputo’s retirement), Clayton Crockett has published two monographs (Radical Political Theology and the forthcoming Deleuze Beyond Badiou: Ontology, Multiplicity, and Event) and co-edited a volume on Hegel with Slavoj Zizek and myself.  Jeff Robbins, who is emerging as a leading theorist in the United States, has published Radical Democracy and Political Theology. 

My forthcoming book The Contradiction of America: A Meditation on Jefferson’s Monticello (with Alain Badiou) will add to the discussion on the interrelation between America and Radical Politics.  I will also be introducing Antonio Negri’s first of two books in the series, Spinoza for our Time.  Negri’s second book, 33 Lessons on Lenin is also forthcoming.  I will also be introducing the renowned German philosopher, Peter Sloterdijk’s forthcoming book, Philosophical Temperaments: From Plato to Foucault.

Other forthcoming titles include four more by Alain Badiou: The Incident at Antioch/L’Incident d’Antioche: A Tragedy in Three Acts/Tragedie en trois acts, Heidegger: His Life and His Philosophy (with Barbara Cassin), There’s No Such Thing as a Sexual Relationship: Two Lessons on Lacan (with Barbara Cassin),and Political Writings (with Alberto Toscano and Nina Power).  Tyler Roberts has a brilliant book forthcoming entitled, New Models for Post-Secular Study: encountering Religion.
