Bruno Bosteels’ research covers a wide range of topics in literature, culture, and politics in modern Latin America as well as contemporary philosophy and political theory. Among many other titles in English, French, and Spanish, he is the author of Badiou o el recomienzo del materialismo dialéctico (2007); Alain Badiou: une trajectoire polémique (2009); Badiou and Politics (2011); The Actuality of Communism (2014); and La comuna mexicana (2021). He is currently preparing two new books, the first a sustained polemical engagement with contemporary post-Heideggerian thought, titled Philosophies of Defeat: The Jargon of Finitude (Verso); and the second, a collection of recent and previously unpublished essays under the title The State and Insurrection: New Interventions in Latin American Marxist Theory (University of Pittsburgh Press).
