Episode 5: Eclipsing Emotions

Subject

2024 Solar Eclipse

Description

Episode 5 explores how various people and cultures experienced eclipses from an emotional perspective through time. Described by many as both sublime and eerie, eclipses provoke a range of emotional responses from awe to terror to wonder. Although we often think about emotions as universal human experiences, this episode explores how different cultures throughout history mediated these emotional experiences to help people make sense of the eclipse experience. Exploring everything from the experiences of the native Au’Dam people of Mexico to those of rural villagers in 1960s China, this episode asks, “how do we feel an eclipse"? This episode was created by Alannah Graves, Hope London, and Trenton Nelson with input from Dr. Amílcar Challú and Dr. Cheryl X. Dong. Landon Cina from the BGSU College of Musical Arts provided the music and Midstory edited the final episodes.
