    Episode 2: Notes

    Spirituality & Modernity


    In this episode of Between Shelves, we explore the intersection of Spirituality & Modernity, diving into how contemporary literature and film engage with spiritual themes in a rapidly evolving world. From nuanced metaphysical undertones to bold explorations of faith, we examine how modern creators challenge and reinterpret spirituality in ways that resonate with today’s complexities. Join us as we unpack the interplay of spirituality with race, psychology, and meta-modernism, offering fresh insights into how these forces shape the narratives we consume and our evolving understanding of the human experience.
