SUMMARY:What Breakthroughs in Science Can We Reasonably Predict?
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/Aet1N1eskNI?si=hP3Q6RSTFM-JsfAI\n\n\n\n\n\nwith Olival Freire Jr. \n\n\n\nSaturday January 16\, 20219:00 PST  | 12:00 EST | 18:00 CET \n\n\n\nIt is much easier to talk about advances in the field of science in the past than to guess about its future. The case of Lord Kelvin’s 1900 statement concerning the two little clouds that still obscured the sky of physics\, and that would eventually be resolved into revolutionary theories—special relativity and quantum mechanics—is a well-known example of this. While risky\, guesses about the future of science are appealing. Indeed\, dramatic change is a recurrent theme in science studies as illustrated by Thomas Kuhn’s ideas on shifting paradigms in scientific revolutions as well as by several other authors who elaborated different views on the subject. Informed guesses about the future of science breakthroughs will be the subject of our conversation. \n\n\n\nThis online talk will be followed by questions and answers and discussion. \n\n\n\nThis event has a fee of €10\,00 a participant\, €9.00 for Friends of The Pari Center.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Olival Freire Jr.\, professor of physics and history of science \n\n\n\nOlival Freire Jr. is Professor of Physics and History of Physics at the Universidade Federal da Bahia\, Brazil. In Brazil\, he was trained in Physics (UFBA)\, he earned a PhD in History (USP) in 1995 and is fellow at the CNPq in History of Science. \n\n\n\nHe founded the Graduate Program in Science Teaching\, History and Philosophy of Science at UFBA\, in Brazil. He served as President of the Sociedade Brasileira de História da Ciência\, the Commission on the History of Physics at DHST and as a member of the council of History of Science Society. \n\n\n\nHe was researcher at the Dibner Institute for the History of Science\, MIT\, Harvard\, Université de Paris VII\, University of Maryland\, and Center for History of Physics at the American Institute of Physics. \n\n\n\nHe has published a number of articles in peer-reviewed journals as well as books and book chapters. He wrote The Quantum Dissidents—Rebuilding the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics 1950-1990\, Springer\, 2015\, and David Bohm—A Life Dedicated to Understanding the Quantum World\, Springer\, 2019.

SUMMARY:Horror and the Role of Terror: The Antithesis of Being Glad to Be Alive
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iHRFsnpVlE\n\n\n\n\n\nFlickering Reality: Exploring Ideas in Film and Television\n\n\n\nHorror and the Role of Terror: The Antithesis of Being Glad to Be Alive  \n\n\n\nwith Christopher Hauke \n\n\n\nSaturday January 30\, 20219:00 am PST  |  12:00 pm EST  |  6:00 pm CET \n\n\n\nA monthly get-together to examine the thought-provoking\, the philosophical\, and the ones that take risks. \n\n\n\nWould Christianity have taken off as successfully if Christ had been imprisoned and died out of sight? The horrific image of a nearly naked man\, nailed to a cross and bleeding from his hands\, feet\, forehead and stomach has had greater impact. What is the relationship between horror\, its images and the sublime? \n\n\n\nFrom the ancient through the mediaeval to Victorian and contemporary forms of the genre\, horror\, and terror\, have been used to impress upon us the frailty of humanity and\, often\, the value of a spiritual alternative. In one era\, the paintings of Bosch or the original German folk tales could terrify their audience\, while in the present day the horror film and its digital game equivalent offer a corresponding function. \n\n\n\nJung was aware of how myth and archetypal imagery took on modern forms when included in contemporary visual media—and yet the psychological impact remained. Jung maintained that evil was a real entity in the world.  In their stories\, horror writers and filmmakers rely on such an assumption. Christopher Hauke will be discussing a Jungian perspective on horror\, the sublime and the role of terror with wide-ranging examples from literature and especially film. You may want to keep the light on… \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChristopher Hauke is a Jungian analyst in private practice and Senior Lecturer emeritus at Goldsmiths\, University of London interested in the applications of depth psychology to a wide range of social and cultural phenomena including film. His books include Jung and the Postmodern: The Interpretation of Realities\, (2000); Human Being Human. Culture and the  Soul  (2005) Visible Mind. Movies\, Modernity and the Unconscious.(2013). He has co-edited two collections of Jungian film writing: Jung and Film. Post-Jungian Takes on the Moving Image (2001) and Jung and Film II – The Return (2011). \n\n\n\nHis short films\, documentaries One Colour Red and Green Ray and the psychological drama  Again premiered in London venues and at congresses in Barcelona\, Zurich and Montreal. \n\n\n\nIn addition to new film projects he is now researching the limits of rationality\, and the place of the irrational in our lives. \n\n\n\nwww.christopherhauke.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis series is free and open to everyone!\n\n\n\nJoin our Zoom meeting via the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81879261698 \n\n\n\nIf you would like to participate\, have any questions or need any help just contact Eleanor Peat: eleanor@paricenter.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSuggested reading: \n\n\n\nJung discusses evil in many passages. Start with Collected Works Vol. 9 Pt ii. Aion (orig. 1958). Chap. ll: ‘The Shadow’ paras. 13-19; and Chap. V: ‘Christ\, A Symbol of the Self’ paras. 68-126 \n\n\n\nHere’s a good modern horror writer with archetypal qualities: \n\n\n\nLigotti\, Thomas (2009) My Work Is Not Yet Done. Three Tales of Corporate Horror.  London\, Virgin Books. \n\n\n\nHow do we view horror films? Try this piece of research: \n\n\n\nJohnston\, Diedre D. (1995) ‘Adolescents’ Motivations for Viewing Graphic Horror. ‘Human Communication Research Vol. 21. Issue 4. Pp. 522-552. June 1995 \n\n\n\nA good article on film horror and its literary forebears: \n\n\n\nDavis\, Rhidian (2013) ‘Shadowlands and Roger Corman “The Poe Complex.”’ Sight and Sound. Vol 23. Issue 11. Pp 24-30. November 2013. \n\n\n\nBooks for further reading:  \n\n\n\nHanich\, Julian (2010/2011) Cinematic Emotion in Horror Films and Thrillers. New York and Abingdon: Routledge \n\n\n\nTan\, Ed S.\, (2011) Emotion and the stricture of narrative film. Film as an emotion machine.  New York and Abingdon: Routledge \n\n\n\nSuggested viewing: \n\n\n\nTry these quite recent horror films and think about their different styles: \n\n\n\nGet Out  (Jordan Peele\, 2016. USA) \n\n\n\nGhost Stories   (Dyson and Nyman\, 2017. UK) \n\n\n\nTriangle  (Christopher Smith\, 2009. UK) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat do Films and Television say about our world? What ideas can be examined through the moving image? From Science Fiction\, to Comedy\, Drama and Documentaries\, the Seventh Art has been a mirror of our society\, from the stories they portray to the method in which they’ve been produced\, a mirror that is sometimes difficult to understand. \n\n\n\nThis monthly series will reveal the message behind different Films and TV Series\, exploring the themes through the lens of physics\, psychology\, philosophy and sociology. Each session will have a guest speaker who will analyse these themes\, which will then be discussed with our community\, and lead us to a better understanding of film and reveal the deeper truths of our world.
