Badiou Buzz Bootleg

For folks who have missed it, an article from the Chronicle of Higher Education (mentioned by Ken in the Zizek editorial thread)

"Alain Badiou Creates a Buzz With Views of Philosophy's Relevance to Other Disciplines"
by Richard Byrne

Is Alain Badiou the next great French import into American academe? A hundred or so people squeezed into a small open space on the second floor of Labyrinth Books, near Columbia University, on Monday night to find out at a public discussion between Mr. Badiou, a professor of philosophy at Ecole Normale Superieure, in Paris, with intellectual roots in Marxism and in the upheavals of 1968 in France and Simon Critchle, a professor of philosophy at the New School for Social Research and the University of Essex.
