Les mer 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

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
