On this episode, Ryan and Todd discuss Rick Boothby&#39;s terrific recent book, Embracing the Void: Rethinking the Origin of the Sacred. First they discuss how the book begins its argument by intervening in the gap between Freud&#39;s and Lacan&#39;s notion of religion (in both its social and psychical import). They then move to highlight Rick&#39;s original theorizing that links das ding to an encounter with the unknowability and indecipherability of the other. Finally, they conclude by discussing the relationship that Andrei Tarkovsky&#39;s Stalker has to an extension of Rick&#39;s argument.Also mentioned on this podcast:<a href="https://misconstruity.hearnow.com/let-them-rot-antigone-between-the-two-deaths" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Misconstruity, "Let Them Rot"</a> (referenced as Russ Sbriglia&#39;s King Crimson power hour)<a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fca%2Fpodcast%2Fs3-e2-did-tv-teach-me-to-drink-like-a-man%2Fid1246879992%3Fi%3D1000683756111&data=05%7C02%7Cryan.engley%40pomona.edu%7C6d485ce004ca4054303808dd3432b154%7C817f590439044ee8b3a5a65d4746ff70%7C0%7C0%7C638724114541624288%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=tWtWSPjN3%2BZ1Rqhs5THAIRGcbfv4%2BYmVFXsxsJOP%2BaM%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">On Drugs</a>, CBC Podcast (Special thanks to Hadeel and Geoff!)<a href="http://worldpicturejournal.com/article/embracing-the-clutter-of-collections/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Ryan&#39;s essay in World Picture</a>
