Description: Self-Portrait in the Studio by Giorgio Agamben, Kevin Attell Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A rare autobiographical glimpse into the life and influences of one of Europes greatest living philosophers. This books title, Self-Portrait in the Studio—a familiar iconographic subject in the history of painting—is intended to be taken literally: the book is a self-portrait, but one that comes into view for the reader only by way of patient scrutiny of the images, photographs, objects, and paintings present in the studios where the writer has worked and still works. That is to say, Giorgio Agambens wager is to speak of himself solely and uniquely by speaking of others: the poets, philosophers, painters, musicians, friends, passions—in short, the meetings and encounters that have shaped his life, thought, and writing, from Martin Heidegger to Elsa Morante, from Herman Melville to Walter Benjamin, from Giorgio Caproni to Giovanni Urbani. For this reason, images are an integral part of the book, images that—like those in a rebus that together form another, larger image—ultimately combine with the written text in one of the most unusual self-portraits that any writer has left of himself: not an autobiography, but a faithful and timeless auto-heterography. Author Biography Giorgio Agamben is one of Italys foremost contemporary thinkers. Seagull Bookss Italian List includes several of Agambens recent works. Kevin Attell teaches at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and is the author of Giorgio Agamben: Beyond the Threshold of Deconstruction.
