The Analytical Psychology Club presents:

The Medusa Effect: Myth, Art, & Psyche

Presented by Nan Hunt, M.A.

For over three thousand years, Western societies regarded women as though their bodies were severed from a thinking head. It was the first mythic hero, Perseus, who accomplished that wound, aided by Athena, born from the head of Zeus, champion of patriarchy. The reaction to Medusa's punishing fate may be archetypal, as manifested in the unconscious of many women who bear suppressed or misdirected anger. This lecture will include research from the ARAS archives and mythlogists, as well as a slide presentation of ancient and modern art.

Nan Hunt, M.A., English Literature, has taught Jungian-based creative writing classes for UCLA’s Extension Writing Program, as well as English and Creative Writing at CSUN and Moorpark College. Her poetry, essays, and fiction have been widely published. Her most recent book is entitled The Wrong Bride.
