SUMMARY:Joseph Campbell: A Centennial Celebration of the Man\, the Power of
  Myth and the Making of Metaphor (31st Annual Jungian Conference)
DESCRIPTION:"Metaphor is the language of myth that remains…a widely misun
 derstood term. Even many so-called educated people think that 'myth' means
  something that is false—that is\, a lie or distortion about some person
  or event…All of our religious ideas are metaphorical of a mystery."\nJo
 seph CampbellThou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor\nJoseph Campbe
 ll (1904-1987) is generally undisputed as the single most potent voice tha
 t reintroduced a fascination and even love of mythology into the modern an
 d post-modern worlds. For whatever his limits\, failings\, or adherence to
  the sometimes unpopular "monomyth\," nonetheless\, his extraordinary rang
 e and breadth of learning has infused the modern psyche with at least a se
 nse that we are all mythic beings\, possessed of both a collective as well
  as personal mythos.\nWho was this man? What possessed\, even obsessed him
 \, to travel the world\, to read unceasingly for years at a time in a wide
  range of disciplines\, to discern in eastern and western mythological tra
 ditions a common fabric\, a weave that was more alike than different\, to 
 remain in the classroom for almost 40 years at Sarah Lawrence College\, to
  run against the grain of a culture that seemed to have become so incarcer
 ated by reason and rationality that it paid no homage to the mythic dimens
 ions of the body and psyche?\nFollowing the course of direction begun by C
 arl Jung\, Campbell extended and deepened our understanding of the metapho
 rical and symbolic life of the soul and\, in tandem with James Hillman\, e
 xplored the deep resonances of what might accurately be called "the analog
 ical imagination\," which is poetic\, mythic\, spiritual and yearns for re
 lationships.\nMorning:\nIn two presentations\, both of which encourage par
 ticipation\, Dr. Slattery will trace the life of the man\, Joseph Campbell
 \, primarily through the Asian and Indian journals he kept while traveling
  around the world for one year.\nLecture One: Joseph Campbell the Man: The
  Hero's Journey Toward Purpose\nLecture Two: Joseph Campbell and the Metam
 orphosis of Myth\nThere will be a few short film clips of Campbell speakin
 g to the mythic dimension of human beings\, as well as quotes from several
  of his most essential works.\nAfternoon:\nWithout abandoning the theoreti
 cal components of Campbell's work\, we will engage in some brief writing e
 xercises to uncover the contours of our own personal mythology. The mornin
 g talks will inspire and stimulate our choice of an event or two in our li
 ves that we remember having a powerful influence on who we have\, and are 
 continuing\, to become.\nDennis Patrick Slattery\, Ph.D.\, has just begun 
 his 36th year in the classroom\, teaching primarily in the Mythological St
 udies Program at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpinteria\, California. 
 He holds a BS in Literature and Psychology and an MA in Comparative Litera
 ture from Kent State University. He earned a second MA followed by a PhD i
 n Literary Classics and Phenomenology from the Institute of Philosophic St
 udies\, the University of Dallas.\nHe is the author or co-editor of eight 
 books\, including two volumes of poetry\, and more than 200 articles and r
 eviews that bring together depth psychology\, mythology\, poetry and cultu
 ral issues. His books include: The Idiot: Dostoevsky's Fantastic Prince\, 
 The Wounded Body: Remembering the Markings of Flesh\, Depth Psychology: Me
 ditations in the Field\, Psychology at the Threshold\, and Casting the Sha
 dows (poetry). His latest books are Grace in the Desert: Awakening to the 
 Gifts of Monastic Life\, and another volume of poetry entitled Just Below 
 the Water Line. In addition\, he has co-authored a novel with Charles Ashe
 r\, Simon's Crossing.\nAfter living and teaching in Rome\, Italy for two y
 ears—1976-78—he took students to Italy for five years on a Summer Stud
 y Abroad program—1989-95.\n\n\n\n
