Not a problem… working on Specters at the moment, and should hopefully have something up on a blog shortly.

Hey Drew – I’m unfortunately exhausted and not very coherent at the moment – apologies for leaving your comment hanging for so long. I love Benjamin, and would ordinarily enjoy a conversation about him. :-)

I’m hoping the piece on Specters will give me more of an opportunity to write (and thereby work out) more of what I’m reaching for on the issue of time and the peculiarities of capitalist time.

Sorry not to be more useful now… But I would be very interested to hear what you are thinking on Derrida (with the caveat that I have a very selective background in his works, although one of the things I like in his reading of Marx is that he is attuned to the importance of the issue of how time is out of joint…).

Fascinating, and I love your choice of Benjamin. Am reading Agamben’s meditation on Messianic time at the moment, it’s excellent reading…

I am most passionate about throwing time out of joint.
I’d love to hear more on this (acknowledging that you just pointed out the lack of time). This is one of the threads I’m pursuing with Derrida – it runs from his earliest essays through to his last works.
