Reboot Rescored Presents The Golem Episode 3: The Golem as Us

Описание: In this episode, we look within, exploring with Riva Lehrer, an artist, writer and curator who focuses on representations of people who’ve been stigmatized by physical embodiment, sexuality, or gender identity. Her acclaimed memoir, Golem Girl, was published by Penguin/Random House in October 2020. Lehrer is on faculty at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and is an instructor in the Medical Humanities Departments of Northwestern University. We talk with Lehrer about how the Golem represents something that can connect us all and how we see ourselves in the golem along with the themes of psychology and ableism. From Marvel’s “The Thing” and Michael Chabon’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay to Gollum from Lord Of The Rings, the Golem character has resonated and endured for years. But why? What does the Golem tell us about ourselves? The Golem is the embodiment of the ultimate outsider. He is the personification of the “other” that all of us feel.

This episode is scored by Universal Eyes, a musical “joint venture,” the culmination of Universal Indians and Wolf Eyes, two significant groups of the Michigan Progressive Underground Music scene of the early 1990s. The group features members from The Threshing Floor and consists of Nate Young, John Olson, and Gretchen Gonzales-Davidson.
