The next (formal) symposium to take place at Long Sunday will be on the topic of Carl Schmitt's "Theory of the Partisan". (The next informal symposium event will be in celebration or commemoration of Karl Marx's birthday. Short pieces, scattered thoughts, etc.) It is tentatively scheduled for early June, possibly the first week. Because of the length of the essay, I've put the announcement out a bit earlier than the previous ones. If you're interested in participating, please reply here or at theoria. As always, new and old participants alike are welcome -- and encouraged -- to join in.
The essay, originally published in 1963, has finally been translated into English -- twice in 2004. One version, under the title of "The Theory of the Partisan: A Commentary/Remark on the Concept of the Political" translated by A.C. Goodson is available online [pdf] from CR: The New Centennial Review as a companion to their special issue on the essay in Volume 4, Issue 3. It has also been published as "Theory of the Partisan: Intermediate Commentary on the Concept of the Political" [pdf] in, of course, Telos 127 (Spring).
A bibliography of Schmitt's writings in English can be found here [pdf]. The essay, like Schmitt's work in general, has received quite a bit of attention, links and references to which will be posted shortly.

You putting your name forward, Adam? I know Nazi theorist-princes aren't quite as exciting as sniping Holbo, but...

Sure, why not?

I'm sure good Old Doug Johnson will want to do this too.

Any possibility of making the German available?
