SUMMARY:From Stained Glass to Celluloid: The Image of the Child in "Atomic 
 Bomb Cinema"  
DESCRIPTION:What do stained glass windows and cinema have in common? And\, 
 why are the Japanese unperturbed by Hollywood's influence\, while so many 
 Americans hold it responsible for every conceivable problem\, including pa
 ndemic "psychic numbing"? This presentation will explore a Jungian approac
 h to understanding the bomb\, cinema\, culture\, and imagery. Primarily we
  will focus on the image of the child as a harbinger of potential change\,
  and the presence of that image in films about the atomic bomb. Additional
 ly\, we will consider the Jewish apocalyptic narrative tradition and Japan
 's vision ofthe restoration of balance and harmony through playfulness. Th
 ough the bomb is a frightening and complex problem\, with no simple answer
  on the horizon\, it is hoped that participants will leave refreshed with 
 a sense of hope and commitment to the task of restoring the fractured psyc
 he that is expressed in "Atomic Bomb Cinema".\nJerome F. Shapiro\, Ph.D.\,
  earned a BA in Philosophy and Comparative Literature and a doctorate in C
 omparative Culture. He was a Foreign Visiting Lecturer at Kyoto University
  and a tenured associate professor of Film and Comparative Culture at Hiro
 shima University. His book\, Atomic Bomb Cinema: The Apocalyptic Imaginati
 on on Film was published this year. He lives in rural Ohio.\n \nPart of t
 he 4-part weekly lecture series:  THE MOVING IMAGE:  A JUNGIAN PERSPECTI
 VE ON FILM\nThe most we can do is to dream the myth onwards and give it a 
 modern dress. ~ C.G.Jung\nMovies ensoul our lives. They coax us into the i
 maginal realm where we participate in story and myth. At the movies we tra
 vel the world\, journey through space\, fall in love\, witness murder and 
 tragedy\, undergo breathtaking adventure and laugh with silliness and joy.
  Much like dreams and active imagination\, movies allow the expression and
  the experience of both personal and collective material. Movies carry us 
 forward into myth in modern dress: The Moving Image.\nThis year\, the C.G.
  Jung Club of Orange County presents our annual conference and lecture ser
 ies in a combined format to both interpret and\, perhaps more importantly\
 , experience the potential that is the moving image in film. Join us for a
  daylong event followed by three consecutive evening lectures\, and a fina
 l meeting for informal discussion and community interchange. See you there
