that is a seriously nice shelf. i want one just like it.

anything more useless than the ruminations of a bourgeois post-marxist?

It's a biographical piece.

Been interested in Agamben since someone said he's like Carl Schmitt, what should I read of him other than "Self-portrait"? He has a lot of books.

The joke is that you can only read it in Italian, Spanish, and Russian at the moment.

Start with collections of essays, proceed to major (professionally heavier to read) works.

Agamben is cringe
>muh warburg
>muh holy refugees
>muh biopolitics
>muh benjamin
>muh philology

your bookshelves are cringe

That's Agamben's actual room, if you can't guess it from his family photos.

I'm also quite sceptical about your ability to catch the essence of his works based on the list you've provided.

STOP. You're devaluing my shelves! Don't you know I need the social currency of my shelf pic???

Anyway as someone who swore an oath to serve I enjoyed An Archaeology of the Oath.

>Unironically having shitty Spinoza and Walter Benjamin pictures on your shelf.

I like Agamben's work but my god, this is the purest of ideologies.

Will you go bonkers if I tell you that the book is, technically, mostly descriptions of his “favourite peeps”?
