Week 5 - Virno Essays and Nealon

Three Mysterious Virno Essays: These were the essays mentioned in:
*Max Henninger's "The tradition of critical thought, idle talk and curiosity, and language on stage: Three essays by Paolo Virno," which I ordered but we received only the introduction.
---I ordered this again on ILL (6/14/07) but without page specifications this time to see if we can get the whole thing.

*"Idle Talk and Curiosity" by Paolo Virno
---Discovered that this is in A Grammar of the Multitude under Day Three, or Chapter 5.5.

*"Language on Stage" by Paolo Virno
---Discovered that this is in A Grammar of the Multitude under Day Two, or Chapter 4.6.

*"The Tradition of Critical Thought" by Paolo Virno
---This is the only one that's not, as far as I can tell, in AGOM. Google searching also retrieved no results. Searched JSTOR, Project Muse, CSA, and LRC. I tried to do a very broad ILL order for this (6/14/07) with only the author and title, but it said I didn't have enough info. Hopefully the re-order 0f the Henninger translation will include this piece.

I also discovered, while looking over the contents of AGOM once more, that I printed some essays that are already printed in the book: off the top of my head, I can recall reprinting: "We, the Multitude" and "The Principle of Individuation," in case you want to discard the print copies of these to ensure that you're not reading them twice!

Jeffrey Nealon's recent scholarship on chance/gambling (After his Alterity Politics and Double Reading. Already have: "Nietzsche's Money!" (from JAC) and another thing on Adorno from Theory and Event. Try to find the book version of the project from Duke University Press):

-I checked the Duke University Press website, did a search for Nealon, and it only came up with Alterity Politics, so my guess is that the book isn't published yet. Also checked his biography on PennState and it shows that no major publications have occurred since Double Reading. Onto other searches:

-Google Search:
*Jeffrey T. Nealon. "Take Me Out to the Slot Machines: Reflections on Gambling and Contemporary American Culture." South Atlantic Quarterly. Spring 2006; Vol. 105. Issue 2. 465-474.

*Jeffrey T. Nealon, " 'Junk' and Other: Burroughs and Levinas on Drugs," Postmodern Culture vol 6. no 1. September, 1995.
---This is old and may not be applicable, but it's an essay about drugs and addiction...just in case you're looking at addiction as well as gambling. Full text available at: http://www3.iath.virginia.edu/pmc/text-only/issue.995/nealon.995

-Academic Search Premier (EBSCOHost) search:

For the third Heninger piece, see if you can track down a table of contents (or just a journal Web site) for _Forum Italicum_, 40.1, the journal issue in which Heninger's introduction appears. If you can, then you'll have the page numbers you need for an ILL request.
