I'll need to read the whole thing because that paragraph in no way fits with Agamben I've read...
anyway, on the group blog front, what did you have in mind?

I think it does fit to some degree, although calling it a "reversed version" might be up for debate. Anyway the review goes on to make more central claims, mainly in defense of the right of law as I remember (not having it in front of me now). Will try to return to this later..

For the moment a bit swamped with day jobs (and one night job), you see.

Also, doesn't this strangely recapitulate Kant's notion of a transnational utopian order in "Perpetual Peace"? Doesn't sound like the Agamben I know but I'll check it out.

Gosh, who doesn't these days?

At stake in the sharp disagreement over an 'end of history' between Derrida and Agamben is certainly a reading of Kant's "Perpetual Peace", yes.
