Description

On this weeks's episode of the podcast, we provide a recording of a talk given by LeRoy Jenkonius iii at a group of communication students at Bangkok University's International school. The Focus of the talk was Death, and was approached from the perspective of a poet whose job it is to find common points of relation among different cultures to communicate a universal truth. The goal of the discussion was to examine the symbols found in the oldest poems and stories Mankind has passed down across generations, and try to understand a given culture's attitude toward death is informed by these symbols.

The talk has a visual accompaniment of slides showing of traditional artworks used as a reference throughout the talk. Download the slides at the following link:
