• An 8 week course that meets Fridays 11:00am-1:00pm beginning 5 August 2022 (NZ Time).
• In-Person classes in Hamilton, New Zealand or live-streamed via Zoom anywhere!
• Time Zone equivalents for other locations can be found on our website.

This series of eight talks, from our Selected Topics in History series, explores, historically, the subject of death from the perspective of several different disciplines: religion (both traditional and contemporary), philosophy, art, literature, music and film.

DESCRIPTION:
Sex used to be the great taboo. Up until the modern era, open talk related to the subject of sexuality was actively frowned upon. The subject of death, however was freely canvased. This situation has now been reversed. Death has become for modern men and women the new taboo, spoken of in hushed terms, if at all, kept concealed behind closed doors and largely unacknowledged.

However, recently this trend has been challenged. More and more people are wanting to speak openly about the subject of death. Indeed so pressing has become the need, that within the last few years a new ‘strange’ global phenomena has occurred that has seen the emergence of what are called “Death Cafes.”

These “cafes” are simply pop-up meeting places where small groups of people gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss the topic of death. Death has at last come out of the closet.

Info on this course, and all of our other courses (art, environment. health & wellbeing, history, humanities, languages, world cinema, world literature, philosophy, and religious diversity) can be found on our web site at earthdiverse.org.nz...
