Rud: Every single one of those books from the canon that everybody recommends to you, nd for some reason, you just take your time to get around to and you read it. Yet holds up, stands up to tat reputation. But have you read another book that you've never heard of, from roughly the same era that does kind of the same thing? Cause that's also canon wright. This is fat, yes. Well, that's the way that, like, the re imagining of the canon works these days. They take something like a lesser, a lesser thing that no one at the time ever really heard of, and hold it up as being influential.
This week the fellas talk Žižek's use of the Möbius strip. Žižek writes that "the Möbius strip stands for the basic dynamics of the order of being, for what was traditionally called the dialectical 'coincidence of opposites'". While working through the concept, &SoOn talks art, Top Gun, and Midnight In Paris.
