Læs mere Possessed: the historical ideas that haunt us

We are possessed by our pasts. Yesterday's ideas haunt us today, exerting a powerful influence on us, shaping how we think about and engage with the world. This podcast critically investigates the histories that possess us—and their afterlives. Our hosts (and occasional exorcists) are a minister, an atheist, and a Jew, who are also researchers in Religious Studies, Philosophy, and History. Between Andrew’s historical expertise, Matt’s philosophical dexterity, and Mary’s training in theology and ethics, we so enjoy chopping it up and sharing what we’ve learned with you.

episode The Nuclear Family cover

The Nuclear Family

As David Brooks has written, the nuclear family was a blip in human history, not a regulating norm. Yet many of us continue to think that the nuclear family is the way that family ought to be—and, importantly, that care ought to be provided for children and others. Why do we think this way? And what other ways might we provide care for the young and others in need of care? Guests: Jennifer Augustine [https://sc.edu/study/colleges_schools/artsandsciences/sociology/our_people/faculty_staff_directory/augustine_jennifer.php] + Allison Dunatchik [https://sc.edu/study/colleges_schools/artsandsciences/sociology/our_people/faculty_staff_directory/dunatchik_allison.php] Cited in the show: David Brooks' Atlantic article: "The Nuclear Family Was a Mistake [https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/03/the-nuclear-family-was-a-mistake/605536/]"

episode The idealized body cover

The idealized body

What makes a body ideal? Is it how it looks, what it does, or what it signifies? In this episode, we explore the ever-shifting idea of the ideal, or idealized body, with two professional dancers and professors of dance, whose work grapples daily with bodies in motion, under scrutiny, and in transformation. What kinds of ideals continue to regulate, elevate, or distort our sense of what a body should be? How are we today still possessed by these ideas? Guests: Jennifer Deckert [https://sc.edu/study/colleges_schools/artsandsciences/theatre_and_dance/our_people/directory/deckert_jennifer.php] and André Megerdichian [https://sc.edu/study/colleges_schools/artsandsciences/theatre_and_dance/our_people/directory/megerdichian_andre.php] of USC's Blackmon Dance Program

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
