Badiou&Zizek Live

0524-11.jpg

sounds.jpg Zizek : Against the Populist Temptation (zizek.mp3, 25.7MB) [sorry, there's one sentence missing at the beginning]

sounds.jpg Badiou : Politics: A Non-Expressive Dialectics (badiou.mp3, 26.6MB)

[Many thanks to Sphaleotas and Adam Kotsko for hosting: the comradely spirit is not dead!! Transcript of the Badiou to follow soon.]

Incidentally no disrespect is meant to the other two speakers, who no doubt were anyhow already resigned to being regarded as support acts, but whose papers were actually for this reason more surprising and novel (to me, anyway); and whose noninclusion is only down to my missing half of Lorenzo's most instructive (for the nonlacanian) paper, and to my being wary of waning batteries and storage space in the case of Alenka Zupancic's beguilingly subtle thesis on comedy as affirmation of our leaky finitude.
