Presentation: They’re coming to eat your brains: Zombies in Popular Culture with Jacinta Frawley

  • Sydney Mechanics School of Arts 280 Pitt Street Sydney, NSW, 2000 Australia (map)

Zombies have lurched their way into being the monster of the new millennium. How is it possible that these tragic creatures have climbed out of their quiet, solitary, folkloric graves to become the representatives of our most terrible fears and desires. While the vampire morphed into a representative of individual longing for immortality which transcended the physical restrains of the body the zombie represents a wholly physical earth-bound existence and the fear and/or desire for cathartic destruction.

This talk will look at the origins of the zombie in popular culture and wonder how we can understand the twin notions of the Zombie Apocalypse and the everyday zombie as a source of tremendous creativity and humour.

 Jacinta Frawley is a Jungian Analyst and Training Analyst (ANZSJA) in private practice in southern Sydney and is especially interested in the application of Jungian thought in the everyday.
