Dan Smith and Protevi new entry on Deleuze. Its quite long. I havent read the whole thing but looks pretty thorough.

dotting this for self note.

Quoted: Meillassoux

Since I never got around to reading this book I thought the review was pretty solid. Although I am not compelled to read the $110 book, just to hear what seemed to me a totally obvious thesis in the first place: Derrida takes us to the double-bind aporia, Badiou supplements this political undecidability with "the evental intervention, or decision" so we can have a politics of truth.
Gotta be the new game in town: supplement so and so's weak ass politics with Badiou's decisionism.
Levinas with Badiou (Critchley)
Derrida with the Stieg's technics
and now Derrida with Badiou (Calcagno)

I still think that any pre-LM account of Badious politics has so many pot holes its not even funny. In so far as politics has a logics of appearance you just cant do much of shit politically with EE but supplement deconstruction with a vague ontological "decision" of some kind.

(please excuse the poopy-snark of this dot. I am sure the book is an interesting read.)

Quoted: Quentin Meillassoux, "History and Event in the writings of Alain Badiou"

Just started reading this in-progress translation of Meillassoux's seminar on Badiou.

Great interview with Robin Mackay about Collpase Journal.

The shortcoming of academic journals is that they tend towards extremely cautious articles, taking tiny, circumspect steps in a very narrow field of study. This tends to breed a sort of resigned attitude amongst those working in philosophy that they're not really doing philosophy, they're doing secondary commentary. Which cuts them off from people outside that world who nevertheless already are thinking philosophically and want to access what's going on in contemporary thought.

Then on the other hand you have publications that try to straddle the fashion or style press and trendy intellectualism; they present a simplified version of whatever happens to be the 'latest theory', applied to popular culture (the deconstruction of candy-wrappers, etc.) Here you get a thrill of radicality, the excitement of what philosophy could be, but it's kind of empty, vapid, it's ultimately intellectually unsatisfying.

Quoted: With a journal that's put together by a committee, and peer-reviewed, and edited, designed, printed and distributed by different parties, I don't think this can ...
