The Incident at Antioch / l'Incident d'Antioche: A Tragedy in Three Acts / Tragédie En Trois Actes

by Alain Badiou

Book Overview

The Incident at Antioch is a key play marking Alain Badiou's transition from classical Marxism to a "politics of subtraction" far removed from party and state. Written with striking eloquence and extraordinary poetic richness, and shifting from highly serious emotional and intellectual drama to surreal comic interlude, the work features statesmen, workers, and revolutionaries struggling to reconcile the nature and practice of politics.
