Jonathan Pageau: Carving Perspective Iconographic Storytelling Derek J Fiedler 2022-02-23 | @JonathanPageau discusses how we truly see reality, how worldview is shaped through language, palindromes, logos, mythos, icons, and so much more. Such "iconographic storytelling" presents meaning as a whole, in a non-linear way. The film Arrival (2016), The Life of Pi, The Watchmen, The Dark Knight, The Canadian Trucker Protests, the life of King David, the Gospels, the icons of the Resurrection and Burning Bush serve as conversational fodder. - Derek's conversation with Jonathan's brother, Matthieu Pageau - youtu.be/BphiifsUUCY- First conversation Jonathan & Derek on Symbolism & Sexuality - youtu.be/Iy8dYT61WIc MY WRITING- newsletter: derekjfiedler.substack.com- Symbolic World Blog: thesymbolicworld.com/author/derekjfiedlerSAY HI- Email: youtube.com/c/DerekJFiedler/about- Reddit: reddit.com/user/DerekJFiedler- Twitter: @DerekJFiedler- YouTube: enter a comment in a video.
