A course in interdisciplinarity by Mario Veen. In each episode I travel through Plato's Allegory of the Cave together with a guide. Together, we examine the question of what it means to learn, grow and develop in life on earth. We do so from a new perspective every time. You can use this course to study whatever interests you through the lens of philosophy, film, art, physics, spirituality and many more. All you need is the willingness to think things through and the openness to have your preconceived notions challenged.

54- More Moments of Meaning-Making with Mieke Bal
This is the second part of our conversation about Mieke Bal's Moments of Meaning-Making: On Anachonism, Becoming, and Conceptualizing, published by Valiz. Mieke Bal (1946) is a Dutch theorist, video artist, and a well-known writer and feminist. She has been a Professor in Literary Theory (University of Amsterdam). In 1994 she was a co-founder of the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA). Bal has been teaching at many institutes and universities in Europe, US, and beyond. She is known for her specific ways of ‘deep-reading’ artworks (e.g. Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Louise Bourgeois, Nalini Malani), and intertwining her research with various disciplines, such as contemporary and nineteenth-century literature, psycho-analysis, gender studies, philosophy, bible studies. Bal also works as a video artist, which she approaches as a specific form of cultural analysis.  Now that Mieke Bal is getting older —being very active and involved in many art and research projects—she has been ruminating on how to reflect on a full life with different roles and experiences. She did not want to write a navel-staring autobiography and came up with an ABC of Memories, and the concepts these have generated: key terms that have a specific value to her, that interlink as a mesh of meaning, weaving together daily experiences and teaching, her know-how to art making, to the core concepts of her analytical work.  This is my substack: https://marioveen.substack.com/  You can now order my Dutch language book about Plato's allegory of the cave: https://noordboek.nl/boek/hoe-plato-je-uit-je-grot-sleurt/ (also available as e-book) My previous interview with Mieke Bal is Episode 21: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2nJr0OdC11WiZVcvAcVCOR?si=LSKWhfz5Sq-fuBLtK_KfDw

She is a Senior Fellow of the Comenius Network for educational innovators in the Netherlands.

Episode 43 - Intergenerational Trauma with Inez Schelfhout
  My book about Plato's allegory of the cave is now available for pre-order: https://noordboek.nl/boek/hoe-plato-je-uit-je-grot-sleurt/  Inez Schelfhout is a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist who specializes in the impact of war on next generations. So intergenerational effects and intergenerational trauma. Inez works at the ARQ Center '45 and the ARQ Knowledge Center for War, Persecution and Violence. The countless conversations in the therapy room made Inez aware that these conversations have to take place at a social level. Her mission is to to develop healthcare policy for descendants of war victims, while also promoting knowledge about intergenerational effects outside of healthcare and therapy.As we will discuss, Inez herself is a descendent of two grandparents who were held captive as children in Japanese concentration camps during the second world war in the former Dutch East Indies, which is now Indonesia. As their oldest granddaughter, she had questions about this past and the effects it has on her and her family. She even travelled to Japan to find out more. This ultimately led her to specialize in intergenerational effects after war. This past is something that Inez and I share, since my grandmother and her family went through similar experiences. Here is some of Inez' public work, mostly in Dutch: Essay Splijting en Integratie: https://arq.org/publicaties/splijting-en-integratie  Docu's over intergenerationeel trauma: https://www.2doc.nl/kijktips/2023/intergenerationeel-trauma.html  Inez is featured in the documentary 'Voices of postwar generations' ('Stemmen van naoorlogse generaties) https://hoezoindo.nl/documentaire-data-stemmen-van-naoorlogse-generaties/    This is an independent educational podcast and I appreciate any support you can give me me on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/lifefromplatoscave) or in other ways.   I hope you enjoy the episode!Mario http://lifefromplatoscave.com/    I'd love to hear your questions or comments: Leave me a voicemail: https://www.speakpipe.com/LifeFromPlatosCave  Twitter: https://twitter.com/lifeplatoscave Insta: https://www.instagram.com/lifefromplatoscave/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lifefromplatoscave  Illustration © by Julien Penning, Light One Art: https://www.instagram.com/light_one_art/

Interdisciplinary Philosophy
A course in interdisciplinarity by Mario Veen. In each episode I travel through Plato's Allegory of the Cave together with a guide. Together, we examine the question of what it means to learn, grow and develop in life on earth. We do so from a new perspective every time. You can use this course to study whatever interests you through the lens of philosophy, film, art, physics, spirituality and many more. All you need is the willingness to think things through and the openness to have your preconceived notions challenged.
