I will be giving a paper tomorrow entitled “Against Transcendence: The Lay Theology of Suffering of Antonio Negri and Gianni Vattimo” at the 8th Annual Social Theory Forum. Program info is above.
(Though I’m tempted, I will not be there in full New York Yankees regalia as I’m sensitive to how horrible the Red Sox are right now. I’ll show empathy and just give the talk.)
