Jonathan Pageau
Expanding on a talk I gave last year called Pentecost for the Zombie Apocalypse, I discuss the meaning of the zombie and the monster in general as a portent of cultural patterns.
By examining the traditional vision of the world and by exploring ancient stories. I trace a parallel to the development of modern art and contemporary culture through contemporary authors such as Jacques Derrida and John Vervaeke’s recent book, “Zombies in Western Culture”.
Finally I explore the positive place of the monster in the figure of St-Christopher.
This conference was given at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina on March 15th, 2017.

fantastic talk. Really glad I discovered this channel. You clearly work very hard!
FANTASTIC…….
Thank you for this. I am an illustrator who has had an obsession with zombies for a while. This opens up many meaningful doors for me!
Wow. That St. Christopher story at the river blew my mind. How amazing✝️🙏🏼
38;30…the earth is flat
Highly interesting.
When you think about, life is some very beautiful trickery.
Playing around with that plastic bottle was verrrrry distracting while listening to this via headphones…
Jesus descend to bottom of the world to left up Adam an eve represents the black man an woman being lifted up from death that's what its really about
Post-modernisim is the new garbage, religion is the old garbage. So it's all about distraction and control.
The Zombie Procession, lets call it, is almost like a ritual rite being performed. At least unintentionally.
Coyote one day was at the center of the world and thought to himself, what would happen if the center of the world were somewhere else.
So he changed the sun and moon so men were getting up at night and going to bed in the morning, he thought this was great fun , as well the center of the world changed as well.
Eagle didnt like this one little bit and told coyote if he didnt change them back that he would chase him off the edge of the world, but coyote tryed to explain they were in their rightfull places, but eagle knew he was lieing, so he tryed to chase him off the edge of the world, but coyote ran in circles around mountians and Forest across deserts staying away from the edge of the world, untill eagle gave up and put the sun and moon back in their rightfull places and the center of the world went back to where it belonged, and men went to bed at night and got up in the morning.
Coyote went his way haveing had his fun , but he was never trusted again, he now was known to be a Trickster who was up to no good.
Dog headed men must be social Scienceist, social engineers and other denizens of Academia.
Sir you a light within the world.
40:00 i like how the centre of the image coincides with the phallus, or genital area. For legit reasons not /o/
A monster in the morning.

Jonathan, are you familiar with Garth Ennis' comic book series "Crossed"
It's pretty gruesome & hardcore stuff but if you can soldier on through an analysis of it would make an excellent coda to this video.
Jonathan, your explanation of the Pentecost icon with the notion of the "other" (the foreigner) in the form of a dog-headed man in the sort of cave on the bottom of the Pentecost icon is fascinating and makes a lot of sense. It seems you found this in the Armenian Pentecost icon and early Western Pentecost icons. It seems that at least in the Greek tradition today's Pentecost icon has just one person in that lower cavern and it is someone who looks like a king who is holding twelve scrolls. I believe I found the explanation somewhere that this is a reference to our fallen nature, i.e., that we believe that we are kings but the only way out from our imprisonment and darkness is the preaching of the 12 Apostles. Please let me know if this is a valid explanation as this is what I have been teaching my students in the iconography section of my liturgics class. I thank you for any enlightenment you can give me on this. I would be interested in knowing if this "king" has anything to do with your explanation of the "foreigner," etc. Thank you.
Dogman encounters….check it out on utube. CRAZY STUFF GOING ON!
54:54 strange fierce and indescribable, but I dated her at one point.
Wow, amazing talk! I learned so much. Thank you for sharing this. As an evangelical, I'm really interested in the Orthodox Church and what you guys believe.

The book of Enoch gets into greater detail regarding the creation and fate of the Nephilim.
