What do you mean "in order"? It's one book. Yes, read the chapters in order.

The Homo Sacer series is composed by seven books, if I'm not mistaken, that have a particular order. Auschwitz is in Homo Sacer III.
I was wondering if reading them without a particular regard for the original order would damage my reading experience.

Agamben completely filtered all of academia on the covid pandemic. The future will show that he was right and 95% of academia lacked all morality and intelligence.

What did he said about covid?

>>19320733
I'd say you should read the first one first, which ends with the idea of a new nomos of the camp.

In general, you could read it in order but some might be skipped. State of Exception is really an elaboration of the first. If you want more theology you could start with The Kingdom and the Glory.

>>19320769
Multiple books as anon said, the first of which is also called Homo Sacer. Then, more recently, all books have been collected in one Omnibus Homo Sacer book of over a 1000 pages.

Thanks, anon. Would you say that The Remanents of Auschwitz has any value on its own?

>>19321741
I don't think it's that important in the series, and if I remember correctly there's a misreading of Blanchot in it, but it's still good on its own, yeah.

he was able to do so with such clarity because he himself is a nazi, part of the programme. check out some of the numerology with his section numbering in Use of Bodies, particularly in the hagiography to Heidegger ("Intermezzo II")

Lockdowns are bad and vaccine mandates even worse. Bio-security state forming which risks becoming worse than any totalitarianism. He builds off his work on Homo Sacer and the State of Exception. Literally the only academic in the humanities not selling out today. You would expect every single Foucault scholar to be against the lockdowns and vaccine mandates but nope, they're all happily in favour.

No surprise. Agamben is the exception and one should remain suspicious of exceptions.

>>19322185

>>19322934

>>19323614

>A permanent state of exception, on a more or less global scale, and a control system based on arbitrary differentiation is good actually.

>the total organization of the body of citizens in a way that strengthens maximum adherence to institutions of government, producing a sort of superlative good citizenship in which imposed obligations are presented as evidence of altruism and the citizen no longer has a right to health (health safety) but becomes juridically obliged to health (biosecurity).

Cucks like you are spiritually defective .You aren't human.

I think he illustrates human mob mentality (the "political animal" if you will) perfectly.
