The Blemmyes (legendary headless creatures) MONSTEROLOGY with Stephen Asma

Ancient Greece and China believed in creatures that had faces in their chests, and the legend grew in the Western tradition to include an American version. Scholar-Artist Stephen Asma (author of bestselling book "On Monsters: an Unnatural History of Our Worst Fears" (Oxford), guides you through artistic and design methods to improve imagination and make more meaningful content. Each episode of Monsterology is a workshop that dips into the deep reservoir of culture, and makes art that is visually captivating and intellectually provocative. Asma plays with monsters, mythology, sci-fi, and the various sources of human vulnerability. Stephen Asma is the author of 10 books, and appears regularly in shows like Vsauce's MindField, Godzilla: King of Monsters (Blu-ray DVD), MTV, Oprah Radio, BBC World News, and so on.
