Becksistentialism
Update: 2013-10-29
Description
Football meets French philosophy. Albert Camus was a goalkeeper. Sartre preferred boxing. After his stint at Paris Saint-Germain, is it possible that David Beckham has become an existentialist? Andy Martin, lecturer in French, explores the links between the ex-captain of England and France’s left-wing thinkers.
Writer, teacher, surfer, Andy Martin is currently researching FBI files on French philosophers. He is the author of ‘The Boxer and the Goalkeeper: Sartre vs Camus’, ‘Waiting for Bardot’ and the tumblr blog, ‘BecksinParis’. He is also a contributor to BBC radio and the pages of The New York Times.
