Virtual Badiou

There's nothing like catching up on correcting exams to ruin a weekend. That's what I get for putting it off until the last minute. However, you don't have to let it ruin your weekend. Matt can be found here, writing about Osamu Dazai, and Jason discusses miscegenation in the colonial context. Or, you can check out Alain Badiou's new website, http://alainbadiou.fr, which at the moment is promoting his forthcoming La philosophie et l'événement, a series of discussions with Fabien Tarby. It also has a link to a debate, published in Le nouvel observateur, between Badiou and Alain Finkielkraut.
