ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, Xiang Biao, co-director of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, interviews Insa Koch, Professor of British Culture at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland. Her work focuses on corruption, power, and political ontology, which challenge the very foundations of the Common Concerns approach. This is a critical conversation. Can we truly speak to people with these new concepts, or are we merely reinforcing the very systems we claim to criticize?
