On Dreams

On Dreams

Originally published in 1935 William Archer’s interest in dreams had persisted for over quarter of a century for ten years of which he kept a careful record of his own dreams. These records alone form a valuable collection of material of which Archer made good use in the writing of the book on dreams on which he was engaged at the time of his death; large parts of these dream-records are reproduced in this book. He left this book partly finished partly in draft and partly in the form of notes. In putting together this material the editor Theodore Besterman tries to carry out Archer’s intentions as closely as possible and believed that he represented the book as he would have wished it to appear. It was unquestionably an important contribution to a difficult subject at the time the result of many years’ study and reflection.

Real Animals on the Stage

Real Animals on the Stage

Through a series of case studies this book explores the role of live animals on the stage from the early modern era to the present time. The contributors deal with visual and textual representations of performing animals; typologies of animals in the theatre; the hybridization of the drama with the circus the zoo and the cinema; as well as the semiotic transfer of animal roles from the text to the stage. The focus lies on the changing historical fortunes of the four-footed actor and on exploring the ways that attitudes to the animal affect their dramatic representations – within aesthetic contexts but also in their dramatized scientific use. Exploring snapshots of acting animals from their earliest manifestation on the early modern stage the chapters contextualize and theorize particular uses of the animal actor and key into current debates on the cutting edge of animal performance studies. While seeking to consider how these theoretical perspectives were formed the collection delves into the multiple ways through which the animal presence problematizes the practice of theatricality. This book was originally published as a special issue of Studies in Theatre and Performance. | Real Animals on the Stage

Broadening Our Knowledge on Cluster Evolution

Broadening Our Knowledge on Cluster Evolution

Although clusters are regarded as important elements in economic development the strong focus in the literature on the way clusters function is contrasted with a disregard for their evolutionary development: how clusters actually become clusters how and why they decline and how they shift into new fields and transform over time. Although recently new cluster life cycle approaches emerged both empirical evidence and theoretical contributions on this topic are still limited. This book therefore contributes to broadening our knowledge on the life cycle and evolution of clusters both empirically and theoretically. It contains chapters on inter-firm relations as drivers of cluster transformation as well as chapters on the heterogeneity of firms and firm capabilities during cluster evolution and on the role of institutions in stimulating the emergence and growth of clusters. Case-studies stem from different industries and technologies such as biogas film and television new media and medical technologies and from different countries such as Sweden Austria Switzerland and South Korea. All chapters underline that cluster evolution does not only depend on internal dynamics but that external relations are an integral part of cluster dynamics. This book was previously published as a special issue of European Planning Studies. | Broadening Our Knowledge on Cluster Evolution

Psychoanalysis on the Verge of Language Clinical Cases on the Edge

Psychoanalysis on the Verge of Language Clinical Cases on the Edge

This book examines the importance of language and writing in psychoanalytic theory and practice offering an understanding of how language works can give a deeper insight into the psyche both in clinical practice and everyday life. Bringing together psychoanalytic insights that hinge on the language of difficult cases this collection also includes contributions dedicated to meta-study of psychoanalytic writing. The first chapter shows how music includes tonal regions that deploy existing rules and syntax alongside atonal ones dominated by caesuras pauses and tensions. The second chapter discusses the malignant ambiguity of revealing and concealing typical of incestuous situations pinpointing how the ambiguous language of incest deceives by means of the truth . The third chapter brings in Virginia Woolf’s character Orlando in order to illustrate two types of gender crossing. Distinctions defined by the linguist Roman Jakobson help in the fourth chapter to offer an integrative description of obsessive-compulsive phenomenon as an interaction between metaphoric and metonymic dimensions as well as with a third psychotic dimension. The fifth chapter focuses on what is called the screen confessions typical of the perpetrator’s language. George Orwell’s newspeak is used here to decipher the specific means by which the perpetrator turns his or her inner witness into a blind one. The final chapter uses Roland Barthes’ concepts of studium and punctum to discuss the limits of psychoanalytic writing. As a whole this book sets the psychoanalytic importance of language in a wider understanding of how language helps to shape and even create internal as well as the external world. Drawing on insights from psychoanalytic theory and practice as well as from linguistics and cultural theory this book will be invaluable for psychoanalysts psychoanalytic psychotherapists and bibliotherapists as well as anyone interested in how language forms our reality. | Psychoanalysis on the Verge of Language Clinical Cases on the Edge

Heidegger on Technology

Heidegger on Technology

This collection offers the first comprehensive and definitive account of Martin Heidegger’s philosophy of technology. It does so through a detailed analysis of canonical texts and recently published primary sources on two crucial concepts in Heidegger’s later thought: Gelassenheit and Gestell. Gelassenheit translated as ‘releasement’ and Gestell often translated as ‘enframing’ stand as opposing ideas in Heidegger’s work whereby the meditative thinking of Gelassenheit counters the dangers of our technological framing of the world in Gestell. After opening with a scholarly overview of Heidegger’s philosophy of technology as a whole this volume focuses on important Heideggerian critiques of science technology and modern industrialized society as well as Heidegger’s belief that transformations in our thought processes enable us to resist the restrictive domain of modern techno-scientific practice. Key themes discussed in this collection include: the history development and defining features of modern technology; the relationship between scientific theories and their technological instantiations; the nature of human agency and the essence of education in the age of technology; and the ethical political and environmental impact of our current techno-scientific customs. This volume also addresses the connection between Heidegger’s critique of technology and his involvement with the Nazis. Finally and with contributions from a number of renowned Heidegger scholars the original essays in this collection will be of great interest to students of Philosophy Technology Studies the History of Science Critical Theory Environmental Studies Education Sociology and Political Theory. | Heidegger on Technology

Perspectives on India's Political Economy

Perspectives on India's Political Economy

This volume contains some of the core foundational contributions on the broad theme of the political economy of India’s development. These have been culled from the numerous writings of public personages thinkers and academic writers over the past century. The extant collections of readings on development economics usually contain readings from academic economists like Sen Bhagwati Bardhan Dreze Basu etc. The purpose of this collection is to point out to the lay reader that there is a world of writing on development that is outside the realms of academia. Accordingly we look at the contributions of figures like Mahatma Gandhi Jawaharlal Nehru Babasaheb Ambedkar Ram Manohar Lohia etc. who too had thought hard and deep about the process of India’s development. The present volume is a purposive selection of 23 articles out of the 75 pieces published earlier in four volumes with the title Economic Development of India by Routledge in 2015. This selection is brought out with the aim of retaining the flavour of the theme under discussion in a succinct single cover volume with a new introduction that ruminates on the recent developments. | Perspectives on India's Political Economy
