Upcoming Lectures
“The Devil Inside: Satan and Popular Culture”
Nicholas C. Laudadio, UNCW Department of English
UNCW Randall Library - RL 2047
Contemporary popular culture features few characters with the sheer longevity of the devil. From his role as God’s hangman to God’s enemy to humanity’s most complex, contradictory, and persistent antagonist, Satan has long been a key player in the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves. This talk will provide a general audience overview of representations of the Christian devil in fiction, film, and popular media, in the hope of better understanding an ancient figure that still looms large over our shared imagination, fascinating and terrifying us in equal measure.
