Personal and Cultural Armor against Death: A Cinematic Exploration with Ernest Becker as Guide |
|
Tuesday, 01 December 1998 03:00 |
|
Ernest Becker's writings provide a cogent analysis of how individuals and cultures cope with the prospect of their own demise and how these modes of coping contribute to individual and social problems. Interestingly, a variety of filmmakers have also explored these topics, typically in ways that converge very nicely with Becker's analysis. In this talk, I will explore the armor people use to deal with their fears of death by utilizing Becker's framework in conjunction with excerpts from two films, Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, and Bruce Beresford's Black Robe.

"Meaning beyond 'heroic' illusion? transcendence in the everyday." |
|
Sunday, 01 November 1998 03:00 |
|
Ernest Becker's psychological and sociological analysis of human evil is as devastating as it is incisive. Rather than attributing evil to biological or environmental factors, he believes it arises from our most distinctly human capacity: our ability to transcend or see beyond our immediate situation. That is, Becker rejects the notion that human destructiveness is primarily a consequence of our "animal" nature or a defensive response to particular harmful life experiences. Rather, it is our consciousness of our vulnerability that plays the most fundamental role.

The 7:30 Friday evening keynote address will be given by Dr. Robert Hare, Professor of Psychology, University of British Columbia, a world leader in the clinical study of the psychopath (sociopath). His book Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us (1993) is a superb portrayal of the predatory behavior of those who suffer from this dreadful affliction, and the dangers he (and she) pose. The Hare Checklist test instrument in the hands of professionals enables early detection and enables intensification of efforts at socialization and control.
