As Covid has set up shop in my respiratory tract and confined me to the bed for most of the day, I thought it useful to visit the latest full episode of Politics Theory Other. In this edition, Alex interviews Jacqueline Rose about her new book on the pandemic, The Plague: Living Death in Our Times. They discuss the political fall out of the pandemic, how the UK and US are using the Ukraine war to whitewash their record of military butchery, and she uses insights from psychoanalysis to think about death and our responses to it. In lieu of blogging because of the 'rona, this comes highly recommended.

Hope you're feeling better soon - sounds nasty! Obligation to keep blogging through can be waived, I think.
" how the UK and US are using the Ukraine war to whitewash their record of military butchery": not Putin, then?
For a Marxist Jim, you show a lamentable inability to go beyond black and white thinking.
