Alexander Galloway and The Public School New York
French Theory Today, 2011
5 pamphlets [ download pdf ]
French Theory Today explores a new generation of French voices-Catherine Malabou, Bernard Stiegler, Mehdi Belhaj Kacem, Quentin Meillassoux, and François Laruelle-whose work has, to varying degrees, only recently emerged in the English-speaking world. Each night of the seminar consisted of a lecture followed by questions from and discussion with class participants. As Galloway suggests in the online class proposal, the goal was "not to set in aspic a new canon for French philosophy, but to proceed inductively, tracing some recent experiments and possible futures."
