Anthropology of "Twilight Zone" Discussion at San Diego Comic-Con July 23rd
San Diego Comic-Con: Friday, July 23rd
8:00pm-9:00pm in Room 8— Anthropology of "Twilight Zone": Daryl G. Frazetti (anthropologist, Western Nevada College) and Curtis Webster (Spirit of Star Trek host) examine Rod Serling's exploration of the ambiguity of reality as it relates to the human condition, exceeding cultural space/time constraints. This panel examines questions such as: What is the deeper cultural meaning of "perception"? What is the cultural meaning of myth? How might "Twilight Zone" function as myth? How do Serling's insights speek to concepts of cultural and linguistic relativism? Don't miss this enthralling discussion on the mix of Serling's magic and science fiction as the presenters follow each twist and turn that moves the meanings of his stories into the mythical realm. Participation highly encouraged! http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci10_prog_fri.php |
