Avatar - a Myth for our times
When:	Monday 29th. March. 2010. 8.00. for 8.30. At the Deveraux Pub, 20 Deveraux Ct., Off Essex St, London WC2R3JJ. Nearest tube, Temple.
Cost:	£2
Details:	The global success of Avatar could be a sign of changing times. Yes, it is unnecessarily violent and with a relatively simple story line. And yes we can project onto it whatever we want. But many are seeing it as about the invasion and attempted domination of native peoples by a brutal power for a precious mineral. And this time the native people win. These people, the Navi are highly developed spiritually and teach the humans how to be more attuned to nature. Those invading humans have come from the dying planet earth, and many chose not to return. Indeed life on Pandora is much as we might dream of. An egalitarian society with a female elder as its spiritual leader and a goddess Ewa, who is about balance, not taking sides. It's even sexy and exciting. In this talk we explore roots of the story in science fiction eg.Ursula Le Guin. The choice of names eg. Pandora. The negative reaction of some Christians.Hmmmmm. (This could imply that it really does matter).Is it racist or anti racist? An eco-pagan manifesto or a disneyesque utopia? Jocelyn Chaplin is a priestess of Rhea(the flow) and author of many books including Deep Equality - Living in the Flow of Natural Rhythm. O-Books. 2008.
