Using the work of Alain Badiou, Gilles Deleuze and Jacques Derrida, “In Motion, At Rest: The Event of the Athletic Body,” explores three events in sport: Ron Artest in basketball and Eric Cantona and Zinedine Zidane in football (soccer). The sports event, “In Motion” argues, reveals the ways in which the intensity and opacity of the event is most visible in sport. Theorizing the event through sport makes possible a new thinking of the event, revealing how what was already inherent to the event is opened to new possibilities by thinking sport philosophically. “In Motion” is not so much distinct from any other works on the event in sport, sport’s theory, sport’s studies, as it stands sui generis: by itself because it is the first work in these fields to think the sport’s event philosophically. Similarly, there are no works in philosophically that pay any attention to the sport’s event
