Stanford University Press 2011 303tr. hardcover 24 cm Meridian: Crossing Aesthetics Why has power in the West assumed the form of an ""economy,"" that is, of a government of men and things? If power is essentially government, why does it need glory, that is, the ceremonial and liturgical apparatus that has always accompanied it? In The Kingdom and the Glory, the modern power is not only government but also glory, and that the ceremonial, liturgical, and acclamatory aspects that we have regarded as vestiges of the past actually constitute the basis of Western power. Through a fascinating analysis of liturgical acclamations and ceremonial symbols of power―the throne, the crown, purple cloth, the Fasces, and more―Agamben develops an original genealogy that illuminates the startling function of consent and of the media in modern democracies. With this book, the work begun with Homo Sacer reaches a decisive point, profoundly challenging and renewing our vision of politics.
