> In recent years Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben has established

> His recent studies of bio-politics develop new theoretical tools for
> analyzing the political situation of today. In books such as Homo
> Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life (1998), Remnants of Auschwitz:
> The Witness and the Archive (2002), and State of Exception (2005), he
> explores legal, philosophical, literary, and political themes in an
> attempt to develop a new understanding of the concepts of life and
> power. Drawing on sources as different as Walter Benjamin, Michel
> Foucault, Martin Heidegger, and Carl Schmitt, his writings also
> question the foundation of the concepts of authority in sovereignty
> in today’s globalized world.

> Agamben has emerged as an important public intellectual. In a famous
> article published in January of 2004 in Le Monde he explained his
> reasons for refusing to return to NYU to teach that year: "A few
> years ago I wrote that the political model of the West is not the
> city but the concentration camp, not Athens but Auschwitz. That was,
> of course, a philosophical, not a historical thesis. This is not
> about mixing phenomena that must be separated. I only want to remind
> readers that the tattooing in Auschwitz possibly appeared as ‘normal’
> and economic in order to regulate the admission of the deportees in
> the camp. The bio-political tattooing, which we are forced to undergo
> today in order to enter the United States, is a relay race to what we
> could tomorrow accept as the normal registration of the identity of
> the good citizen considering the mechanisms and machinery of state."

> The Institute for Art Criticism was founded in the summer 2003 by
> Daniel Birnbaum, Rector of the Städelschule, and Isabelle Graw,
> Professor for art theory. It focuses on the practice of criticism and
> its relationship to other disciplines. The institute regularly
> invites art historians, critics, and philosophers -- most recently
> Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Yve-Alain Bois, and Michael Fried. The
> complex relationship between criticism and artistic practice is
> particularly relevant to the Städelschule, well-known for its
> experimentally inclined students.
