The Necessity of Theatricality in a Post-Truth World with Dr. Ioana Jucan
Manage episode 382488696 series 2931432
In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Ioana Jucan discuss how Cartesian metaphysics and capitalism have led to the "post-truth" world we currently find ourselves in. Dr. Jucan explores the potential of performativity, particularly theatrical performance, to bridge the gap between abstract thought and lived experience, offering a more embodied and emotionally resonant understanding of our moment and the complex issues we face.

Check out our blog on www.candidgoatproductions.com Who thinks that they can subdue Leviathan? Strength resides in its neck; dismay goes before it. When it rises up, the mighty are terrified. Nothing on earth is its equal. It is without fear. It looks down on all who are haughty; it is king over all who are proud.
These words inspired PJ Wehry to create Chasing Leviathan. Chasing Leviathan was born out of two ideals: that truth is worth pursuing but will never be subjugated, and the discipline of listening is one of the most important habits anyone can develop.
Every episode is a dialogue, a journey into the depths of a meaningful question explored through the lens of personal experience or professional expertise.
