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

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

History Politics and the American Past Essays on Methodology

History Politics and the American Past Essays on Methodology

History Politics and the American Past assesses the connection between historiography and politics in America on the basis of an important methodological distinction between the past and the history written about it. While necessarily interpreting the past professional historians and those with a general interest alike remain tempted consciously or not to make American history serve their own political and moral views. There is a tendency to impose our present values on the past and sometimes go so far as to believe the past can be changed by present action. In this volume Ari Helo analyzes examples of this including metahistorical narratives presidential speeches and the occasionally vague rhetoric of the Confederate statue campaigns before diagnosing the source of doing so and suggesting how we might avoid it. Taking America as its example the book illuminates essential methodological issues related to history writing while deciphering the complicated relationship of history and politics. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of American history historiography American studies and cultural studies providing a vivid account of how to make sense of American history. | History Politics and the American Past Essays on Methodology

Marketing Graffiti The Writing on the Wall

Marketing Graffiti The Writing on the Wall

Radical and unique in its approach and presentation Marketing Graffiti turns the traditional marketing introduction on its head by helping students to understand the part they already play as ‘consumers’ in the marketing process. Most marketing textbooks tackle the subject as a business function – i. e. how to do marketing in companies and other organizations. Marketing Graffiti shows how marketing is not just a business function but a part of our culture and one in which we are all active as part-time marketers. By rejecting managerially-driven structures in this way Saren's approach makes marketing immediate and instantly recognizable as a process and a phenomenon in which we are already complicit. It helps readers to become aware of what they already know. Critically examining a wide range of products businesses technologies information services ads packaging and branding Saren utilizes everyday images and phenomena to draw out the conceptual foundations of marketing from a social science and cultural studies perspective as something that we all experience in everyday life. This new edition of the first critical marketing textbook discusses the role new technologies (such as social media) play in marketing culture and how this can potentially place more power in the clicks of the consumer. It includes new updated or expanded sections on market exclusion the role of the consumer in innovation space and place pricing consumer communities collaborative consumption and social media marketing. Leading experts in these fields of research and marketing practice also contribute additional sections on these topics. This essential marketing guide is supported by a range of teaching support materials including the latest journal and online references guides to further reading teaching slides and test bank questions | Marketing Graffiti The Writing on the Wall

The Implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change

The Implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change

In December 2015 196 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) adopted the Paris Agreement seen as a decisive landmark for global action to stop human- induced climate change. The Paris Agreement will replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol which expires in 2020 and it creates legally binding obligations on the parties based on their own bottom-up voluntary commitments to implement Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The codification of the climate change regime has advanced well but the implementation of it remains uncertain. This book focuses on the implementation prospects of the Agreement which is a challenge for all and will require a fully comprehensive burden- sharing framework. Parties need to meet their own NDCs but also to finance and transfer technology to others who do not have enough. How equity- based and facilitative the process will be is of crucial importance. The volume examines a broad range of issues including the lessons that can be learnt from the implementation of previous environmental legal regimes climate policies at national and sub-national levels and whether the implementation mechanisms in the Paris Agreement are likely to be sufficient. Written by leading experts and practitioners the book diagnoses the gaps and lays the ground for future exploration of implementation options. This collection will be of interest to policy-makers academics practitioners students and researchers focusing on climate change governance. | The Implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change

The Law of the Mother An Essay on the Sexual Sinthome

The Law of the Mother An Essay on the Sexual Sinthome

The law of the mother is made up of words charged with pleasure and suffering that leave their mark on us in early childhood. In this groundbreaking book Geneviève Morel explores whether it is possible for the child to escape subjection from this maternal law and develop their own sexual identity. Through clinical examples and critical commentary the book illustrates the range and power of maternal influence on the child and how this can generate different forms of sexual ambiguity. Using a Lacanian framework which revises the classical idea of the Oedipus complex the book is not only a major contribution to gender studies but also an invaluable aid to the clinician dealing with questions of sexual identity. The book avoids many of the moral and political prejudices that paralyse twenty-first century society be they related to legislation on marriage parentage or adoption the status of mental health or the limits to the supposed ownership of the human body. Insightful and revealing The Law of the Mother will be of great interest to Lacanian psychoanalysts as well as to researchers in the fields of gender studies and sexuality. | The Law of the Mother An Essay on the Sexual Sinthome

Reflections on the Modern and the Global

Reflections on the Modern and the Global

Over the past five hundred years historians and other social scientists have perceived an extraordinary occurance: the transition from the Middle Ages via the Renaissance to modernity. Equally remarkable has been the transition taking place in the last fifty years from modernity to globalization a period marked by increasing interdependency and interconnectivity as evidenced by events such as the advent of the computer. Bruce Mazlish argues that in order to understand ourselves in the world today we need to know more about the nature of both concepts. Mazlish discusses the transition in terms of reflections. Rather than adding to the enormous amount of archival research that already exists he instead examines slices of modernity the way of seeing the sense of self for example as if under a microscope. He sees modernity as strongly marked by its insistence on freedom of political and religious thought and the rights of man (later expanded to include women). Such changes did not happen all at once but as a gradual development. While some prefer to contemplate the transition from the modern to the global as a continuous seamless development Mazlish argues that post-WWII developments are best understood in terms of a break or a rupture. Illustrating that the process was further accelerated by the computer revolution and the launching of artificial satellites Mazlish places the events of 1989 in the framework of globalization. He concludes by inquiring further into the significance of the transition from modernity to globalization and its impact upon thought and identity. | Reflections on the Modern and the Global

The Hobbled Giant Essays On The World Bank

The Hobbled Giant Essays On The World Bank

First published in 1984. In these essays Stanley Please contends that the World Bank is constrained in its ability to use its position and . power in the interests of more rapid development of the poorer countries of the world. These constraints derive in large part from the legal restriction on the Bank to engage primarily in project lending and from the division of responsibility between the ·Bank and its sister institution the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Although the Bank's financing of projects and investment programs has made a significant contribution Mr. Please argues that greater Bank involvement in national policy formation can greatly benefit economic development. He looks at ways to increase cooperation between the Bank and the IMF examines the policy work the Bank has done in the past and assesses the capacity of the Bank for policy formation evaluates the need for it to do more such work and discusses the likely responses of developing and developed countries to these changes | The Hobbled Giant Essays On The World Bank

The Environmental Apocalypse Interdisciplinary Reflections on the Climate Crisis

The Environmental Apocalypse Interdisciplinary Reflections on the Climate Crisis

This volume brings together scholars working in diverse traditions of the humanities in order to offer a comprehensive analysis of the environmental catastrophe as the modern-day apocalypse. Drawing on philosophy theology history literature art history psychoanalysis as well as queer and decolonial theories the authors included in this book expound the meaning of the climate apocalypse reveal its presence in our everyday experiences and examine its impact on our intellectual imaginative and moral practices. Importantly the chapters show that eco-apocalypticism can inform progressively transformative discourses about climate change. In so doing they demonstrate the fruitfulness of understanding the environmental catastrophe from within an apocalyptic framework carving a much-needed path between two unsatisfactory approaches to the climate disaster: first the conservative impulse to preserve the status quo responsible for today’s crisis and second the reckless acceptance of the destructive effects of climate change. This book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars interested in the contributions of both apocalypticism and the humanities to contemporary ecological debates. | The Environmental Apocalypse Interdisciplinary Reflections on the Climate Crisis

The Newman Lectures on Thermodynamics

The Newman Lectures on Thermodynamics

Prof. Newman is considered one of the great chemical engineers of his time. His reputation derives from his mastery of all phases of the subject matter his clarity of thought and his ability to reduce complex problems to their essential core elements. He has been teaching undergraduate and graduate core subject courses at the University of California Berkeley (UC Berkeley) USA since joining the faculty in 1966. His method is to write out in long form everything he expects to convey to his class on a subject on any given day. He has maintained and updated his lecture notes from notepad to computer throughout his career. This book is an exact reproduction of those notes. The book presents concepts needed to define single- and multi-component systems starting with the Gibbs function. It helps readers derive concepts of entropy and temperature and the development of material properties of pure substances. It acquaints them with applications of thermodynamics such as cycles open systems and phase transitions and eventually leads them to concepts of multiple-component systems in particular chemical and phase equilibria. It clearly presents all concepts that are necessary for engineers. | The Newman Lectures on Thermodynamics

Progressive Violence Theorizing the War on Terror

Progressive Violence Theorizing the War on Terror

This book examines the role of collective violence in the achievement of solidarity shedding light on the difficulty faced by sociology in theorizing violence and warfare as a result of the discipline’s tendency to idealize society in an attempt to legitimize the idea of progressive social change. Using the global War on Terror as a focal point the authors develop this argument through the related issues of power knowledge and ethics explaining the War on Terror in terms of the Anglo-American tradition of imperial power and domination. Exploring the victimage rituals through which society is brought together in the ritual domination and destruction of a constructed villain Progressive Violence: Theorizing the War on Terror also considers the price of the liberal moral values in terms of which the global war on terror is frequently justified and the volume of progressive violence involved in advancing the cause of freedom. The authors use this case to theorize the general role of vicarious victimage ritual in the social genesis of political violence and sadism and its calculated use by politicians to achieve their imperial aims. As such it will appeal to scholars of sociology and social theory with interests in terrorism violence and geopolitics. | Progressive Violence Theorizing the War on Terror

The March on Rome Violence and the Rise of Italian Fascism

The March on Rome Violence and the Rise of Italian Fascism

The aim of this book is to reconstruct the violent nature of the March on Rome and to emphasise its significance in demarcating a real break in the country's history and the beginning of the Fascist dictatorship. This aspect of the March has long been obscured: first by the Fascists' celebratory project and then by the ironic and reductive interpretation of the event put forward by anti-Fascists. This volume focuses on the role and purpose of Fascist political violence from its origins. In doing so it highlights the conflictual nature of the March by illustrating the violent impact it had on Italian institutions as well as the importance of a debate on this political turning point in Italy and beyond. The volume also examines how the event crucially contributed to the construction of a dictatorial political regime in Italy in the weeks following Mussolini's appointment as head of the government. Originally published in Italian this book fills a notable gap in current critical discussion surrounding the March in the English language. | The March on Rome Violence and the Rise of Italian Fascism

Statistical Inference Based on the likelihood

Statistical Inference Based on the likelihood

The Likelihood plays a key role in both introducing general notions of statistical theory and in developing specific methods.
