‘Alain Badiou and Anti-Semitism’, written by Maurice Samuels, focuses on current French debates over the ‘new anti-Semitism.’ In his essay, Samuels identifies the resurgence of anti-Semitism as one of the defining features of the contemporary moment in France, and through a series of close readings of Badiou’s writings, explores the ways in which Badiou’s positions on Jewish issues produce what he calls an ‘anti-Semitic effect.’
