NOT CANON!!!

<p>'Canon'--the body of work designated as genuine, sanctioned, important or official--is a concept that intersects fandoms and religions. In this episode, we discuss all things canon including: Star Trek's nebulous official and unofficial approaches to a canon; the historical formation the Jewish canon; challenges to the Western literary canon and the relationship between those critiques and problematic parts of Star Trek; and the in-universe approach that Trek characters have to religious canons. Reb Alert guests Lex Rofeberg of the podcast <a href='https://www.judaismunbound.com/'>Judaism Unbound</a>, talking about the limits and challenges of a canon, new approaches to a Jewish canon, and the relationship between canons and power.</p> <p>HSHW: ENT Awakening; DSC New Eden</p> <p>---</p> <p>2021 Listener survey: <a href='https://forms.gle/tDy4TXwLw7dANZ4f6'>https://forms.gle/tDy4TXwLw7dANZ4f6</a></p>
