Agamben's Political Ontology of Nudity in Literature and Art

Beschreibung

This volume develops the central (though neglected) Agambenian concept of nudity along with its crucial political implications. Emphasizing Agamben's privileged non-unveilability/nudity, this book finally examines two major missed encounters, with Heidegger and Lacan, philosophers of the veil.
