Day 1: The sociology of Covid-19 hot takes
Manage episode 259266430 series 2656495
In this episode, Jana and Mark discuss the sociology of 'hot (theoretical) takes' - what is it about crises that provokes so many intellectuals to offer interpretations? What is it about 'philosophising' that is so tempting and so frustrating for gasping epochal events? And what is specific about the Covid19 crisis and how intellectuals respond to it?
Thanks to @2kwanya (and @GubernatorHomo) for our music and @milan_stuermer for suggesting our name. Find out more about our work at www.janabacevic.net and www.markcarrigan.net.
