Description

Alain Badiou, Briefings On Existence: A Short Treatise on Transitory Ontology, trans. Norman Madarasz, Albany, State University of New York Press, 2006. ISBN: 0791468046 This translation is the eighth book of Alain Badiou's to appear in English since Manifesto for Philosophy, also translated by Norman Madarasz in 1999. If we include the collections of essays and lectures, Infinite Thought, On Beckett and Theoretical Writings, we are up to eleven translated titles in less than six years. And we can expect four more in the next twelve months, not including Logiques des mondes (or, as Badiou insists for the English, Logics of Worlds). (2) As telling as the appearance of these translations is, it is also interesting to note that there are almost as many translators. If we include forthcoming titles, we have in fact twelve translators for sixteen titles (most of which are reviewed in this special issue). Twelve is of course a suggestive number for those who, in Badiou's words, 'do not constitute a public but support a transmission'. (3) Anyway, among these twelve a remarkable subject has unfolded itself that of a series of translations of works in which the translators have rendered terms and concepts in such a way as to establish them in a general consistency despite the denials and the betrayals inherent to the translator's act.
