☛ Una voce di Giorgio Agamben, Quodlibet (publisher).
Una voce di Giorgio Agamben is a an online platform where Giorgio Agamben has been publishing short public interventions in Italian since March 2017. It is hosted and maintained by the Italian publisher Quodlibet, where many of Giorgio Agamben’s books have been published.
On February 26, 2020, Giorgio Agamben started to publish short interventions on a regular basis, all focusing on the 2019-2020 coronavirus pandemic. This entry was created as a way to keep track of those interventions and their accompanying translations. It is worth noting those interventions spur many reactions online: they are too numerous to be listed here. This entry will be updated with new interventions as they appear. Interventions are listed in reverse chronological order of their publication on Quodlibet.
Updated: 2020.07.11
Most of those interventions are now gather in a book title A che punto siamo? L’epidemia come politica published by Quodlibet (July 9, 2020).
