Deep Talks: Exploring Theology and Meaning Making
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
There's a cultural shift in how we are telling stories, and it's a relatively new phenomenon. It's something different from postmodernism but still incorporates elements from modernism and postmodernism. Philosophers are just barely beginning to grasp what is happening; some call it metamodernism.
In today's episode, we'll explore the shift from modernism to postmodernism and into metamodernism through the genre of the American sitcom so that you can notice the distinct flavors of each that take place across genres of storytelling and the arts.
From The Cosby Show and Home Improvement to Seinfeld and into Joe Pera Talks With You, how is metamodern comedy shifting towards offering people a sense of sacredness and transcendence in their seemingly meaningless mundane lives?
