Between Shadows and Noise: Sensation, Situatedness, and the Undisciplined with Dr. Amber Musser

On this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Amber Jamilla Musser discuss the concept of sensation and how it shapes our understanding of the world. She examines various works of art, including the film ‘Us’ by Jordan Peele and the dance piece ‘Shango’ by Katherine Dunham to explore the complexities of representation and authenticity. The conversation focuses on the importance of attunement and the recognition of the body’s place in the world.

Who thinks that they can subdue Leviathan? Strength resides in its neck; dismay goes before it. When it rises up, the mighty are terrified. Nothing on earth is its equal. It is without fear. It looks down on all who are haughty; it is king over all who are proud. 

These words inspired PJ Wehry to create Chasing Leviathan. Chasing Leviathan was born out of two ideals: that truth is worth pursuing but will never be subjugated, and the discipline of listening is one of the most important habits anyone can develop. 

Every episode is a dialogue, a journey into the depths of a meaningful question explored through the lens of personal experience or professional expertise.
