I can't thank you enough for this - it has greatly helped my understanding of Agamben's concept of Profanation.

thank you for your comments. the "rest" of the lecture is still in the pipeline and will be added in the next weeks. please understand, that the limited resources of the european graduate school can not be compared with the bbc or similar stations - still, egs will add all the public lectures of the media and communications department at european graduate school - its simply a question of time. thank you.

Where's the rest?When he gets to the part about how capitalism "pushes to the extreme and generalizes the tendency to seperatiion that was already present in religion",and now is a "single, multiform, ceaseless process of seperation that assails everything everyplace everyperson every human activity in order to ddivide itself" I get freakin chills,man.Surely there was a bit more. What a dramatic ending.
