At a recent theological conference Giorgio Agamben was put on surprise trial by an ad hoc tribunal of restless attendees operating outside the normal legal proceedings for such conferences. After a disingenuous attempt to pacify the situation, the conference prefect, John Milbank, saw that he was not getting anywhere with the angry mob as they cried out for Agamben’s crucifixion. So Milbank took some water and washed his hands in front of the crowd and said, “I won’t be guilty of killing this man. Do what you want!”

The climactic moment of Q&A:
Agamben: ‘Talk to the hand, cause the face aint listenin.’
Milbank: ‘Sign language is the only possible form of communication with infidels.’

I sent this pic to my adviser Conor Cunningham earlier today and this was his caption contribution:

Agamben:

Milbank:

Wow, I’m not wearing any trousers either!
