In this episode we'll be exploring this idea of violence as art, and how it connects to religion, literary techniques and fiction such as Grand Theft Auto and Game of Thrones.
We'll be discussing the ways in which these works use violence to explore deeper themes, such as the nature of power, the human condition, the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche and the role of violence in society. We'll also be examining how it subverts the Western genre.
The tension between the beauty of language and the ugliness of violence, and how writers and artists can use this to create something powerful and thought-provoking will be explored.
Whether you're a fan of Blood Meridian, Philosophy or Game of Thrones, we hope you'll join us for this fascinating discussion.
TW and SPOILERS for all episodes, listen at your own discretion.
