Answers!
<p>If you love reading fiction, and you LOVE closure, you're going to mildly like today's episode! In the final episode of season 1, Na'ama and Melanie conclude this season on 'the self' by talking about animals and plants. What are the limits of selfhood? Do plants have selves? How is fiction helpful in thinking about these existential questions? Spoiler: we do not have answers.<br/><br/>What should I read?<br/>This week, we're reading J M Coetzee's The Lives of Animals and Han Kang's The Vegetarian.<br/><br/></p>

The cat has no clothes
<p>One day Jacques Derrida got out of the shower and realised he was caught naked by his cat, who was staring at him. What followed (get it) was a 10 hour lecture on - among other things - the limits of the human/animal/divine, the human/self and animal/other, being naked and knowing it, and being naked and not knowing it. <br/><br/>In our penultimate episode, Melanie and Na'ama talk all things feline and deconstruction. Bonus: our refurbished studio has sound effects!! Melanie is pleased. <br/><br/>What should I read? <br/>This week, get into Derrida's <a href='https://www.e-skop.com/images/UserFiles/Documents/Editor/derrida_cat.pdf'>The Animal That Therefore I Am (More to Follow)</a> (2002)</p>

Blowing bubbles
<p>Jakob von Uexküll (1864–1944) is a founder of the field of behavioural physiology. He explored what makes ticks... tick. But how does Uexküll's work shed light on what makes us tick? For that and more, join Melanie and Na'ama in a soap bubble and go on a stroll. Bonus: Melanie's first ever introduction to Aussie icons Kath & Kim, and a dramatic reading of a tick sniffing out blood. </p>
