Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Reading Paul Howard: The Art of Ross O’Carroll Kelly offers a thorough examination of narrative devices satirical modes cultural context and humour in Howard’s texts. The volume argues that his academic critical neglect is due to a classic bifurcation in Irish Studies between high and popular culture and it will use the thought of Pierre Bourdieu Sigmund Freud Mikhail Bakhtin and Jacques Derrida to critique this division building a theoretical platform from which to examine the significance of Howard’s work as an Irish comic and satirical writer. Addressing both the style and the substance of his work this text locates him in a tradition of Irish satirical writing that dates back to the Gaelic bards and it includes writers like Swift Wilde Flann O’Brien and Joyce. Through textual and contextual analysis this book makes the case for Howard as a significant and original voice in Irish writing whose fusion of the three traditional types of satire (Horatian Juvenalian and Menippean) has created a parallel Ireland that shines a satirical light on its real counterpart. As Freud suggests humour is a way of accessing aspects of the psyche that normative discourses cannot enunciate and Howard through the confessional voice of Ross offers a fictive truth on 20 years of Irish society a truth that is not accessed by discourse in the public sphere or by what could be termed literary or high cultural fiction. | Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Families

Families

In 'Families' Jane Howard informally visits many dozens of families and tries to discover what makes the best ones work so well. Families are not dying she finds although they are evolving in various ways. From the tightest-knit nuclear family or extended clan to the most fragile new commune the family in one guise or another remains everybody's most basic hold on reality. We may run away from our families as many do but no sooner do we escape than we find another one often very much like it. Sympathetically with immense thrust she crosses the continent to discover families' myths jokes and rituals. She leafs through their scrapbooks sits on their porches and takes part when she can in their feasts and celebrations. She talks to a father of eighteen several double first cousins stepchildren multiple godmothers an honorary relative of an Indian tribe and a nine-year-old boy who has no family but his mother. She sits with a matriarch on the front stoop of a ghetto house goes camping with a family in Mexico has Thanksgiving with another in Iowa and orders pizza with a Greek clan in Massachusetts. Howard reports on visits to conventional Southern and Jewish households and to innovative ones whose members lacking a common history plan on building common futures as if water were after all as thick as blood. She examines the notion that there are ways and ways of achieving kinship of which birth and marriage are only the most obvious. Millions of clans and families all over the United States continue to celebrate quarrel disband reunite and endure. Jane Howard makes us realize how our lives are interwoven both with the families we are born into and with those we invent as we go through life. 'Families' is compassionate provocative and profound. The paperback edition of this important work will be essential reading for all those with an interest in the study of familial bonds particularly sociologists anthropologists and psychologists.

Theological Radicalism and Tradition The Limits of Radicalism' with Appendices

Theological Radicalism and Tradition The Limits of Radicalism' with Appendices

‘The limits of radicalism are those which end not in chaos but in the breaking of fresh ground. ’Howard E. RootPreviously unpublished––and only recently rediscovered by Dr Christopher R. Brewer in an uncatalogued box in the archives of Lambeth Palace Library––Canon Howard E. Root’s 1972 Bampton Lectures ‘The Limits of Radicalism’ have to do with nothing less than ‘what theology is’ a topic no less relevant today than it was in 1972. Against the radical reductionism of his time Root defended the integrity of theology and ‘theological truth’. Advocating a ‘backward-looking’ radicalism he thought that tradition should display ‘recognisable continuity’ and yet at the same time––against reductionistic tendencies––that it might be enriched and enlarged via a wide variety of ‘additive imagery’ including though not limited to poetry and pop art music and even television. We must ‘begin where we are’ said Root for we cannot in the manner of Leonard Hodgson ‘think ourselves into the minds and feelings of men 2000 years ago. ’ In this volume which begins with a substantial mostly biographical introduction Dr Brewer argues that Root––a backward-looking radical who defended metaphysics and natural theology and insisted that theologians look to the arts as theological resources––anticipates the work of David Brown and others concerned with tradition and imagination relevance and truth. A fascinating glimpse into the recent history of British Christianity Root’s lectures as well as the related appendices are essential reading for theologians interested in the dynamics of a developing tradition and the theme of openness as well as those with a particular interest in 1960s Cambridge radicalism and the British reception of the Second Vatican Council. | Theological Radicalism and Tradition The Limits of Radicalism' with Appendices

Listening Deeply An Approach To Understanding And Consulting In Organizational Culture

Listening Deeply An Approach To Understanding And Consulting In Organizational Culture

So much in our society is based on the importance of doing achieving striving intervening and producing. In contrast Listening Deeply attempts to re-establish listening and attentiveness toward others as the key to consulting with organizations. Professor Howard Stein uses his training in anthropology and psychology to shed light on organizational relationships and tensions. He shows how a consultant can safely allow emotionally charged issues to emerge so that healing can begin. Using brief and extended case examples from his own consulting practice Stein illustrates his approach of creating a safe holding environment in which members of an organization can express difficult emotions and learn to understand themselves and their colleagues better. He encourages consultants to use the self creatively and constructively to look beyond the obvious in interpreting messages from group members. Sometimes it is only through the consultants own emotional response that the root of the organizations problem becomes clear. Stein provides concrete examples that show the consultant how to listen for underlying themes and thoughtfully analyze both the text and subtext of an organizations culture. Through his cases Stein demonstrates how the consultant can go beyond conventional problem-solving to promote healing growth and ultimately a better working environment. | Listening Deeply An Approach To Understanding And Consulting In Organizational Culture

Translating Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex Transnational Framing Interpretation and Impact

Translating Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex Transnational Framing Interpretation and Impact

This collection offers insights into the transnational and translingual implications of Simone de Beauvoir’s Le Deuxième Sexe (The Second Sex) a text that has served as foundational for feminisms worldwide since its publication in 1949. Little scholarly attention has been devoted to how the original French-language source text made its way into languages other than English. This is a shocking omission given that many (but by no means all) other translations were based on the 1953 English translation by Howard M. Parshley which has been widely criticized by Beauvoir scholars for its omissions and careless attention to its philosophical implications. This volume seeks to fill this gap in scholarship with an innovative collection of essays that interrogate the ways that Beauvoir’s essay has shifted in meaning and significance as it has travelled across the globe. This volume brings together for the first time scholars from Translation Studies Literary Studies and Philosophical Studies and over half of it is dedicated to non-Western European engagements with Le Deuxième Sexe (including chapters on the Chinese Japanese Arabic Hungarian and Polish translations). As such this collection will be essential to any scholar of Beauvoir’s philosophy and its contributions to feminist discourses. | Translating Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex Transnational Framing Interpretation and Impact

A Philosophical Introduction to Higher-order Logics

A Philosophical Introduction to Higher-order Logics

This is the first comprehensive textbook on higher-order logic that is written specifically to introduce the subject matter to graduate students in philosophy. The book covers both the formal aspects of higher-order languages—their model theory and proof theory the theory of λ-abstraction and its generalizations—and their philosophical applications especially to the topics of modality and propositional granularity. The book has a strong focus on non-extensional higher-order logics making it more appropriate for foundational metaphysics than other introductions to the subject from computer science mathematics and linguistics. A Philosophical Introduction to Higher-order Logics assumes only that readers have a basic knowledge of first-order logic. With an emphasis on exercises it can be used as a textbook though is also ideal for self-study. Author Andrew Bacon organizes the book's 18 chapters around four main parts:I. Typed LanguageII. Higher-Order LanguagesIII. General Higher-Order LanguagesIV. Higher-Order Model Theory In addition two appendices cover the Curry-Howard isomorphism and its applications for modeling propositional structure. Each chapter includes exercises that move from easier to more difficult strategically placed throughout the chapter and concludes with an annotated suggested reading list providing graduate students with most valuable additional resources. Key Features: Is the first comprehensive introduction to higher-order logic as a grounding for addressing problems in metaphysics Introduces the basic formal tools that are needed to theorize in and model higher-order languages Offers an abundance of- Simple exercises throughout the book serving as comprehension checks on basic concepts and definitions- More difficult exercises designed to facilitate long-term learning Contains annotated sections on further reading pointing the reader to related literature learning resources and historical context
