Abstract
This chapter explores recent work by Agamben and Santner, key figures in the translation of Schmitt's ideas into more left-leaning articulations of political theology. It shows how the figure of the undead Muslim recurs in the various philosophers and theologians whose arguments support the claims of Agamben and Santner. It examines how contemporary messianic thinkers have unconsciously lamented as “dead neighbors” the traumatic irritants productive of the messianic pearl. It argues that in order for a messianic pearl to glow miraculously (as Agamben and Santner would wish it to), the new thinking of today needs to engage in an act of neighbor-love, whereby it embraces the untimely, undead excarnations of a history of typological damage. Otherwise, these traumatic dead neighbors remain undead and driven in the drive of critical theories of sovereignty.
