What Do We Owe Other Animals? A Debate

What Do We Owe Other Animals? A Debate

Philosophers Bob Fischer and Anja Jauernig agree that human society often treats animals in indefensible ways and that all animals morally matter; they disagree on whether humans and animals morally matter equally. In What Do We Owe Other Animals?: A Debate Fischer and Jauernig square off over this central question in animal ethics. Jauernig defends the view that all living beings morally matter equally and are owed compassion on account of which we are also obligated to adopt a vegan diet. Fischer denies that we have an obligation to become vegans and argues for the position that humans morally matter more than all other living creatures. The two authors each offer a clear well-developed opening statement a direct response to the other’s statement and then a response to the other’s response. Along the way they explore central questions like: What kind of beings matter morally? What kind of obligations do we have towards other animals? How demanding can we reasonably expect these obligations to be? Do our individual consumer choices such as the choice to purchase factory-farmed animal products make a difference to the wellbeing of animals? The debate is helpfully framed by introductions and conclusions to each of the major parts and by smaller introductions to each of the sub-sections. A Foreword by Dustin Crummett sets the context for the debate within a larger discussion of sentience moral standing reason-guided compassion and the larger field of animal ethics. Key Features Showcases the presentation and defense of two points of view on the moral worth of non-human animals Provides frequent summaries of previously covered material Includes a topically-organized list of Further Readings and a Glossary of all specialized vocabulary | What Do We Owe Other Animals?

Lost to Desire The École Psychosomatique de Paris and its Encounter With Patients Who Do Not Thrive

Lost to Desire The École Psychosomatique de Paris and its Encounter With Patients Who Do Not Thrive

This book covers the work of psychoanalysts in post WWII France with patients beset by somatic problems with little manifest fantasy life and how their concept of opératoire continues to inform the theory and practice of working with patients in crisis. The author explores what the new concept has elicited in a community of practitioners – close to the École Psychosomatique de Paris – over a period of some sixty years. As a 'skin for thought' it facilitated change while preserving coherence gradually beginning to attract further considerations. Important themes have included: the early groundwork necessary for the configuration of fantasy the importance of a shared imaginary the role of denial and obliterated memories as a bond between people emergency measures of a Me cut off from revitalisation the effects of the rhythms and atmosphere at the workplace on family life and the consequences of a crisis suppressed for lack of a holding frame. As psychoanalytic discourse adapted to the challenges the original perspective changed aspect moving from a systematic evaluation of what the patients did not produce to what the analyst had to fill in to make sense of the situation. Clashing with the terrain French psychoanalysts raised important problems about psychic anaemia that are stimulating and deserve cross-cultural discussion. This book will appeal to psychoanalysts in practice and training who wish to learn more about this ground-breaking work on memory and trauma and how to apply it to their own practice. | Lost to Desire The École Psychosomatique de Paris and its Encounter With Patients Who Do Not Thrive

Performance and Ecology: What Can Theatre Do?

Performance and Ecology: What Can Theatre Do?

In comparison with Literary Studies and Media and Film Studies the disciplines of Theatre and Performance with their strong anthropocentric heritage have been relatively slow in responding to such things as climate change species extinction or pollution and toxicity etc. However in the wake of recent work on animals cyborgs and objects as well as publications with a specific focus on ecology and environment there are real signs that theatre and performance scholars are beginning to make their own contribution to the Environmental Humanities. But if theatre critics are engaged in new forms of ecocritical analysis it is worth posing a pertinent question from the outset: namely what can theatre do ecologically? In this book leading researchers and practitioners seek to answer that question from a number of perspectives and with diverse methodologies. Topics include: reflections on rehearsal processes scores for performance site-based interventions ideas of conflict investigations of temporality and time ecology ecospectating and the experience of disappointment. Taken together these essays make an important intervention in the emergent (inter)disciplines of the Environmental Humanities and further our understanding of the ecological potential of Theatre and Performance in ways that are cautious tentative but also generative. This book was originally published as a special issue of Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism. | Performance and Ecology: What Can Theatre Do?

Managing in Complexity How Our Fears of Uncertainty Can Hurt Us and What To Do About It

Managing in Complexity How Our Fears of Uncertainty Can Hurt Us and What To Do About It

Challenging traditional ways of thinking leading and managing based on cutting-edge research and real-world examples this book provides an insightful and accessible perspective for leaders and managers in the 21st century who seek to become more effective in an increasingly uncertain and complex world which limits their ability to get results. Just how significant this is has become all too evident in the Covid-19 pandemic. Many books have been written to address these leadership and management challenges but they are based on the premise that there are ways to simplify organise and control what is going on in the workplace. In our complex world this is not possible and there are no magic tools and techniques that will ensure success. This book explains why and offers an alternative approach incorporating social theory and the sciences of uncertainty written in plain English by a leader with over 40 years of experience in the private not-for-profit and federal government sectors. Each chapter focuses on a single key concept and is introduced by a story illustrating how these key ideas can be applied in the workplace and includes practical suggestions for leaders and managers at all levels and across sectors to incorporate these perspectives into their day-to-day work practice making it easy for readers to use the book as a reference guide. All who manage in complex times and uncertain environments will appreciate this accessible and actionable book that will inspire a radical rethink of current management orthodoxy and help them to become more effective. | Managing in Complexity How Our Fears of Uncertainty Can Hurt Us and What To Do About It

Evolution Politics and Charisma Why do Populists Win?

Evolution Politics and Charisma Why do Populists Win?

Evolution Politics and Charisma: Why do Populists Win? shines compelling new light on the way in which the systematic targeting and manipulation of human physiology remain a cornerstone of all populist political campaigns. Readers wishing to make sense of the populist juggernauts of Trump and Brexit and of the cyclical and formulaic nature of the rise and fall of charismatic populism will find this book particularly appealing. Elesa Zehndorfer begins by presenting a highly applied explanation of the critical importance of political physiology physiology theory neuroscience and evolutionary biology in populist charismatic politics. She later eloquently explains how manipulation of physiological variables (such as heightened testosterone and dopamine) renders the political rally one of the most powerful weapons in a populist leaders’ campaign. Weber’s seminal conceptualisation of charisma ‘in statu nascendi’ and Hyman Minsky’s insightful theories of cyclical boom-and-bust scenarios are then juxtaposed alongside physiological theory to greatly amplify our understanding of the powerful biological antecedents of charismatic populism. These theoretical observations are then applied directly to recent high-profile populist campaigns – including the 2016 Trump Presidential campaign and early Presidency – and the Brexit referendum to elucidating and compelling effect. Ultimately Evolution Politics and Charisma paints a clear evolutionary picture of the way in which politics is an emotional – not a rational – process where our emotions are continually targeted to great and strategic effect and where the most recent intersection of technology and physiology has driven the greatest surge in populism ever seen across the Western hemisphere since the 1930’s. Acknowledging this reality opens up exciting vistas in our understanding of the true power of charismatic populism and provides answers as to how its seductive and often dangerous power can be effectively resisted. | Evolution Politics and Charisma Why do Populists Win?

Essential Concepts of Occupation for Occupational Therapy A Guide to Practice

Essential Concepts of Occupation for Occupational Therapy A Guide to Practice

Essential Concepts of Occupation for Occupational Therapy is an accessible introduction to vital concepts in occupational science for the occupational therapy practitioner or student. It invites therapists to view and understand their clients differently—by using an “occupational lens” to focus on the lives of their clients as everyday doers. It addresses the key questions at the heart of understanding humans as occupational beings: What do people typically do? And where when how why and with whom do they do it? These questions organize the key concepts from occupational science that form the first chapters of this book enabling therapists to better understand their clients—and enabling their clients to better understand the importance of occupation to their well-being. Additional chapters clearly describe how therapists can use occupation-based models to apply an expanded view of occupation and make evaluation and intervention more relevant and beneficial to their clients. A final chapter examines trends and lifestyle changes occurring in the 21st century to anticipate how these might impact future practice. Through use of engaging and thoughtful cases that illustrate many of the concepts this guide will help practitioners clearly understand their clients as doers while also providing enhanced ways for therapist to confidently apply these concepts in practice. | Essential Concepts of Occupation for Occupational Therapy A Guide to Practice
