Death and Culture (6x4)

Data emisji: Lut 07, 2020

Mary Beard and her panel of guests discuss why we consume so much sensationalised death in movies, crime fiction and television drama, while we are reluctant to speak about real pain and loss. How much do our religious traditions continue to shape our attitudes towards death, grief and the afterlife? And how will technology change our idea of legacy in the future? And how can comedy help us to come to terms with grief and our own mortality?
