Books by Giorgio Agamben
Qu’est-ce que le contemporain?
by Giorgio Agamben
Agamben’s book is really about his idea that when we are contemporary it is not so much to do with being in sync with our time. Maybe instead it is that we have a certain distance, there is a certain shift or dislocation there. It’s somehow because when we are not completely in sync with the time then maybe we are more apt to perceive, to actually catch or capture our own time.
