[Erik Empson]

Here are the details of the radical philosophy conference with Michael
Hardt: - Ill certainly try and get to one of these events. BTW finally just
got hold of Insurgencies. Also bought "The ticklish Subject; the absent
centre of political ontology" by Zizek. Both look like a fantastic read!
