Blake Burleson's ninety-minute presentation was part one of ‘A Passage to Africa’ moderated by John Beebe. Eight individual filmed sequences from home movies taken by Helton Godwin Baynes during Jung's 1925 expedition to East Africa were shown. In addition to placing these clips in their historical, geographic, and cultural context, Burleson introduced the following cultural complexes revealed in the film and in travelling companion Ruth Bailey's commentary on the film: romantic primitivism, ‘going black’, self-conscious élite, ‘furor Africanus’, the ‘black man's burden’, racial inferiority, and the ‘curse of Ham’.
