Steve Redhead offers a new and challenging theorisation of global football culture, exploring the relationship between sport and culture in a rapidly shifting world.

This book looks at theories of transcendental materialism in the work of Alain Badiou and Slavoj Zizek and the related theories of my work on claustropolitanism and claustropolitan sociology and symbolic exchange in the work of Jean Baudrillard and the futurism of the moment in the work of Paul Virilio. It explores what it calls theoretical times as the global post-crash condition after the global financial crisis world swerves to the right. It offers new theoretical resources as a way out of the quicksand.

Steve Redhead has collected together a series of compelling and illuminating interviews he has conducted with some of the most influential and popular young writers who have emerged in the Nineties.
