V-2nd - 2: clocks and mirrors

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

Sure. But since it's not on "Spiegel online", I guess you have to buy
the printed edition (# 27/2010) and read pp. 98-102. The article is
titled "Der Denkautomat" (the thinking machine) and was written by
Philipp Oehmke. Its context is the conference on the Re-Installation
of the Communist Hypothesis which took place in Berlin in June.
Badiou was there. Negri too. The article contains very funny
pictures ...
