12Theological-Political Ruins: Walter Benjamin, Sovereignty, and the Politics of Skeletal EschatologyLaw and Critique 24 (3): 295-315. 2013.Drawing on the work of Walter Benjamin, this essay argues—largely against Carl Schmitt—that political theology as a critical analytic should examine the ‘afterlife’ of theological tropes with respect to the sense of time and history that they compel. Benjamin’s The Origin of German Tragic Drama argues that sovereignty as a political concept gains prominence as a response in the wake of the erosion of the concept of salvation history in the Baroque. The consequence of this rise of sovereignty as …Read more

I argue that this critique rests in Balibar’s rereading of commodity fetishism that foregrounds th…Read more

19Critical Theory in the Age of Knowledge Capitalism: Elusive Exploitation, Affects, and New Political EconomiesJournal of Speculative Philosophy 31 (3): 468-480. 2017.In recent years, after decades of largely avoiding engagements with political economy, discussions of the new forms of capitalism, neoliberalism, and the information society have become central again to critical theory. Following this recognition of the importance of political economy, this article aims at honing our conceptual tools to examine the political and social economies of contemporary capitalism, which I understand with Yann Moulier Boutang as "cognitive capitalism."1 I am particularly…Read more
