Beckett and Badiou offers a provocative new reading of Samuel Beckett s
work on the basis of a full, critical account of the thought of Alain Badiou.
Badiou is the most eminent French philosopher alive today. His devotion to
Beckett s work has been lifelong. Yet for Badiou philosophy must be integrally
afirmative,
whilst Beckett appears to commit his art to a work of negation.
Andrew Gibson explores the coherences, contradictions, and extreme complex¬
ities of the intellectual relationship between the two writers
oeuvres.
He exam¬
ines Badiou s philosophy of being, the event, truth and the subject, and the
importance of mathematics within his philosophical system. He considers the
major features of his politics, ethics, and aesthetics and provides an explanation,
interpretation, critique, and radical revision of his version of Beckett. Finally,
through a set of extended readings of Beckett s fiction and drama, he argues
that, in revised form, Badiou s account of Beckett offers an extraordinarily
powerful tool for understanding his work.
Badiou and Beckett are instances of a vestigial or melancholic modernism; that
is, in the teeth of a contemporary culture that dreams ever more ambitiously
of plenitude, they commit themselves to a rigorous concept of limit and inter-
mittency. Truth is rare. Modernity itself is an occasional condition. It is seldom
that the chance event arrives to disturb the inertia of the world. For Badiou,L
4
however, it is the event and its consequences alone that matter. Beckett rather
insists on the common experience of intermittency as destitution. His art is a
series of limit-figures, exquisitely subtle and nuanced forms for a world whose
state of seemingly rigid paralysis is also always volatile, delicately balanced.
Andrew Gibson is Professor of Modern Literature and Theory gt Royal
Holloway, University of London.
