Agamben and the Signature of Astrology - Spheres of Potentiality

Informationen zum Autor Paul Colilli is professor of Italian studies at Laurentian University in Canada. Klappentext This book examines how astrology appears in the works of Giorgio Agamben as a means to visualize the significance of the central elements in his thinking on issues such as potentiality, biopolitics, and the signature.
