The next symposium to take place at Long Sunday will be on the topic of Carl Schmitt’s “Theory of the Partisan”. 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, at Long Sunday (when I make the announcement there), or send me an email. As always, new participants are welcome 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].
Confirmed: John S. Ransom, Adam, Nate, Angela, Craig, Luke, Jodi, Matt, Anthony Paul Smith, Old Doug Johnson, Squibb, John

[...] Which brings me to the topic of Long Sunday symposiums generally, and that Craig is preparing for a symposium on Carl Schmitt in June. If you’re interested in contributing to that discussion, do go drop a comment in at Theoria. [...]
[...] Also, just to be clear, I should say “national or the national-like,” a la a certain version of the relationship between class-in-itself and class-for-itself, and/or the relationship between technical and political class composition. I’ve tried to make sense of this before, or at least tried to start, primarily via reading Schmitt. I took a paragraph or so from that older post and used it in this new one. I’m currently in the process of revising and writing a better thing about all that, re: Schmitt’s Concept of the Political and Political Theology. I’m also looking forward to the upcoming Schmitt symposium on Schmitt’s Theory of the Partisan. [...]
