Ep 26 - We Made It Up: An Introduction to Cultural Memory (w/ Dzebo) - a podcast by BYWAP

There's no earthly way of knowing which direction your memories are going. And while this may not be Willy Wonka's tunnel to hell, the fluid and ever changing imagery of a river that cannot be pinned down or dominated is evocative of the nature of memories. Memory is what we make of it, and this week’s guest—Dzebo, our dear Georgian Cultural Memory Studies major—helps us get to the bottom of the tricky nature of Cultural and Collective Memory. Find out how obsessed Steph has been over the Animal Crossing bandwagon, the long-term effects of nationalistic propaganda, how different 'memories' can resonate in a society, the way that different perspectives can cohabitate without disrupting globalism, and why we can't possibly be dancer.

Things have changed, but we're changing with it.
