About this episode

<p>On this episode, Ryan &amp; Todd theorize the World Cup as a public event that enables the non-expert to see complex theoretical notions, such as Alain Badiou&#39;s conceptualization of the event and Jean-Paul Sartre&#39;s idea of self-transcendence. The episode also discusses how the World Cup offers complex ways to view our relationship to the law, nationalism, and climate change.</p><p><br></p><p>(Quick note: Thank you to every very early listener who noticed the previous upload was incorrect! Hope everyone enjoyed just Ryan&#39;s side of the audio. Todd said that probably made the episode better but, alas, we&#39;re back to parity now.) </p>
