Hi again, Scott,
Of course, I know all of the books of Agamben translated/published in English. However that one was based on a lecture on "dispositif", entitled "Qu'est-ce qu'un dispositif?" which has been a special reading of governmentality and biopower.
I searched for it via internet however I only could find its French edition.
I hope it can be translated in english.
Thank you for your response.
Isil
