  1. A Space Odyssey: The Political Philosophy of De-Spatialization.Britton Watson - manuscript

This work compares and contrasts the philosophical implications Jameson (and Marx) and Sloterdijk (with Heidegger) of globalization. The film 2001: A Space Odyssey is discussed as a metaphor for the cultural narratives Jameson and Sloterdijk provide.
