À propos de cet audio

NOTE: This episode contains spoilers. If you haven’t seen the film yet, you might want to hit pause and come back when you’re ready.


In Logan’s Run, life is programmed to end at the age of thirty, a brutal societal norm that is unquestioned by its citizens. This episode explores the film from Michel Foucault’s perspective on biopolitics, examining how rituals surrounding death, a techno-theocratic government, and a society founded on artificially constructed belief systems serve as tools of silent control. The society manipulates perception, turning gentle light into an instrument of subdued authority. Obedience to these rules is mistaken for purpose, rebellion is deemed heresy, and death is transformed from tragedy into a ceremonial act, a dark celebration of societal order.
