Nov 28, 2020•1 hr 19 min•Season 1Ep. 5
Episode description
The idea of evolution transformed science (Darwin); the idea of pathos transformed psychology (Freud). Discussing "pathological evolution" is necessary today because our global society is changing faster than ever, and this change is going to involve a deep confrontation with our self: what do we really want? What do we see in the "pathos" of modern global society? Can we analyze this "evolving pathos" as a complex "hyper-object" (entities that escape traditional temporal-spatial reasonings)? How does pathos involve and underlie important dimensions of contemporary gendered, class-based and racial tensions?
