In the coming weeks, we have more episodes releasing, featuring conversations with Nader Hashemi on his theory of sectarianization and whether it remains relevant, Norman Finkelstein on the future of Israel and Jewish political identity, and Jason Storm on what 'superstition' is.

Our fourth and most recent episode features Daniel Tutt on how Nietzsche’s thought has shaped the 'winner-loser' binary of our capitalistic politics––which we appear to be helplessly trapped in––and how it presents an obstacle to the development of a real working class movement.

Sherman Jackson joined us for episode three to discuss his notion of the 'Islamic secular'. We debate its theoretical foundations and tenability in contrast to theorists wrestling with similar questions, including Rushain Abbasi, Wael Hallaq, Shahab Ahmad, and others.

Our second episode features Salman Sayyid on the 'Muslim question', the concept of defeat, & the nature of resistance in its aftermath. We ask and attempt to answer: Are Muslims defeated? What is the difference between defeat and surrender? And where are Muslims and Islam headed?

In our first episode, we spoke with Ariella Aïsha Azoulay on what it means to be a 'Muslim Jew' & how she came to reclaim her Algerian and Palestinian identities as a former Israeli citizen. Azoulay offers fascinating insights into the limits/possibilities of political identity.

Since January 9, Protean View has released one episode every two weeks featuring conversations with special guests on the key issues of our moment. We discuss matters of identity, history, knowledge, politics, culture, religion, and much more.

Here's what we've done so far:
