Madmen and Ninja Turtles: Cultural Touchstones and Lucan. Today on the podcast, we cover the formation of national and individual identity through cultural touchstones. Commercials from Concerned Children’s Advertisers and Canadian Heritage Minutes help to deconstruct the phenomena of shared moments of cultural memory today, while helping us to consider the ways in which spectacular Neronian literature such as Lucan’s Pharsalia took its cues from peculiarly Roman experiences.
