Introduction <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we have explored in class, there are two very clear themes in Prince Caspian<\/em> as it relates to The Bible: colonialism, and environmentalism. We were interested in studying both of these topics but initially we weren\u2019t sure how best to combine them. One of the highlights of this class has been meeting up to have engaging discussions about each of the books in the series. We decided to create a podcast for our final assignment in order to continue with the discussion format we have so enjoyed. We have created two full podcast episodes as well as a brief introductory video. In each episode, one of us acts as an “expert” to answer five questions that relate to our chosen topics. The podcast format allowed us to engage in meaningful discussion, to learn from each other, and to find the many places where these topics intersect. We are so excited to share some of our discoveries with you and we hope you will enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In the context of this relationship of mastery between the viewer and the landscape, it is significant that Lewis\u2019s books frequently signal their awareness of Narnia\u2019s status as a space which can be possessed\u2014essentially, a colonizable space.”<\/p>(Subramanian 372)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
