Speaker: Dr. Shirley See Yan Ma
The Golden Lotus is the deceptively lovely name given to the tiny, mutilated and deformed bound feet of women in traditional China. This practice was carried out by the mother but for the father – to ensure that his daughter would be a valuable, marriageable, physically beautiful bride. Dr. Shirley See Yan Ma will provide a Jungian psychoanalytic perspective on the tradition of footbinding and how it can be used as a metaphor for the suffering of women and the repression of the feminine, as well as a symbol for hope, creativity and spiritual transformation.
