Critical Flicker Fusion Psychoanalysis at the Movies

Critical Flicker Fusion Psychoanalysis at the Movies

The premise of this book is that films like other works of the imagination may be elucidated by applying methods derived from psychoanalysis and that doing so will result in a deeper and richer appreciation of the film's meaning. The book explores a number of feature films that lend themselves particularly well to this process. Both in his introduction and throughout the text the author comments on the method and discusses continuities similarities and differences among the films. The book is structured according to the central themes of the films including time and death love and lust secrets and human identity. Some of the films are relevant to more than one of these thematic elements. The introductory essay explores the themes their representation in the films and the ways in which they may be elucidated by a psychoanalytically informed critique. Brief paragraphs between the sections of the book facilitate the transitions. In an appendix there are three essays titled 'Mise-en-scene ' 'Whatever Flames Upon the Night ' and 'Mad Doctors.

Nationalism and the Body Politic

Nationalism and the Body Politic

This volume aims to question the recent revival of neo-nationalist policies in the light of what unconscious fantasies are involved in these developments. It examines both recent movements of right-wing extremism and the way in which rearticulated neo-ethnic ideas have been adopted by mainstream politicians and in mainstream public discourse. Politicians from other than the right-wing populist parties have tended to resist specific ways of talking that are considered too extremist rather than their underlying frame of interpretation. Governments across Europe have adopted anti-immigrant and anti-Roma policies. Xenophobia and hostility towards 'others' is on the rise along with appeals to Tradition and Security. 'Cultures of fear' are linked with fantasies of fusion or 'imagined sameness'. Alongside the image of the nation as a mother and/or father Reich (1933) called attention to the fantasy of the nation as a body echoed in Money-Kyrle's (1939) characterization of 'group hypochondria' in connection with the burning of witches and heretics. | Nationalism and the Body Politic

Confucian Timely Mean and Christian Discernment Confucian-Christian Dialogue for Spirituality of Discernment and Applied Ethics

Confucian Timely Mean and Christian Discernment Confucian-Christian Dialogue for Spirituality of Discernment and Applied Ethics

This book explores the notion of the timely mean a virtue established in the Confucian tradition in dialogue with the Christian understanding of discernment especially as used in spirituality studies. It considers the historical development of these concepts addressing the early encounter between Confucianism and Christianity as demonstrated in China and Korea and the fusion of the two perspectives in the nineteenth century. The chapters examine some of the major scholars and texts that have influenced both theory and practice providing insight through a comparison of representative figures from each tradition. The author contends that bringing the Confucian ‘timely mean’ into conversation with Christian ‘discernment’ reveals that the immense riches accumulated within each tradition can mutually enhance one another. The book reflects on the possibility of a viable process for ethical and spiritual discernment that is highly relevant for our global age. It is valuable reading for scholars and students of both Confucianism and Christian theology as well as of applied ethics particularly those interested in comparative spirituality and interreligious relations. | Confucian Timely Mean and Christian Discernment Confucian-Christian Dialogue for Spirituality of Discernment and Applied Ethics

A Sociological Genealogy of Culture Wars

A Sociological Genealogy of Culture Wars

This book analyzes the culture wars as those struggles for the monopoly of the legitimate representation of the world in the normative elucidation of controversial issues linked to values. Public culture in this context would consist of a set of complex classificatory systems of symbols and meanings that constitute a semantic field in permanent dynamic tension. In this work we analyze a whole series of lines of cultural conflict such as the social and semantic genesis of the different forms of “culture war” from the thesis of “modern polytheism” pointed out by Max Weber at the beginning of the 20th century to the national culture wars and the current global culture wars; the social production of truth and the clash with the epistemological tribalisms; the struggles between the new warrior gods daimons and demons that emerge in modern societies; the struggles of fusion and fission on the symbolic battlefield of “Europe”; the struggles between “pioneers” and “gatekeepers” to define the limits of human nature; the struggles between utopias and dystopias that colonize the present future. This book will be of great help to anybody looking for key interpretations on the nature and structure of modern conflicts in contemporary societies. | A Sociological Genealogy of Culture Wars

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

The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading

The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading

In a rare fusion of literary sensibility with psychological research Norman N. Holland brings to light important data showing how personality in the fullest sense of character development and identity affects the way in which we read and interpret literature. This book will show that readers respond to literature in terms of their own lifestyle character personality or identity. By such terms psychoanalytic writers mean an individual's characteristic way of dealing with the demands of outer and inner reality. Each new experience develops the style while the pre-existing style shapes each new experience. The sub-title of this book Five Readers Reading reflects the fact that the author a distinguished literary critic worked with five student readers using a battery of psychological tests and extensive interviews to study the ways they reacted to classic short stories by Faulkner Hemingway and others. Combining his own interpretation of the stories with his understanding of the readers and their reactions Holland derives four principles that inform literary response. He then goes on to show how these principles apply not just to literary response but to the way personality shapes any experience. The book carries Holland's previous studies of creation and responsive recreation forward to a major theoretical statement. He rejects the artificial idea that one must think of a text (or other event) as separate from its perceivers illustrating the dynamics by which perceiver and perceived mutually create an experience. For critics and students of the psychology of human behavior this is challenging and seminal reading. | The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading

Mirrors and Masks The Search for Identity

Mirrors and Masks The Search for Identity

Identity as a concept is as elusive as everyone's sense of his own personal identity. It is connected with appraisals made by oneself and by others. Each person sees himself mirrored in the judgments of others. The masks he presents to the world are fashioned upon his anticipations of judgments. In Mirrors and Masks Anselm Strauss uses the notion of identity to organize materials and thoughts about certain aspects of problems traditionally intriguing to social psychologists. The problems Strauss considers to be intriguing traditionally are those encountered when studying group membership motivation personality development and social interaction. The topics covered include: the basic importance of language for human action and identity; the perpetual indeterminacy of identities in constantly changing social contexts; the symbolic and developmental character of human interaction; the theme of identity as it affects adult behaviqr; relations between generations and their role in personality development; and the symbolic character of membership in groups. By focusing on symbolic behavior with an emphasis on social organization Strauss presents a fruitful systematic perspective from which to view traditional problems of social psychology. He opens up new areas of thought and associates matters that are not ordinarily considered to be related. Strauss believes that psychiatrists* and psychologists underestimate immensely the influence of social organization upon individual behavior and individual structure and that sociologists whose major concern is with social organization should employ some kind of social psychology in their research. Mirrors and Masks shows that the fusion of theoretical approaches benefits the analyses of many scholars. This fascinating work should be read by sociologists anthropologists psychologists and psychiatrists. | Mirrors and Masks The Search for Identity

Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials

Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials

This book is an up-to-date review of the most important plasma-based techniques for material modification from microelectronics to biological materials and from fusion plasmas to atmospheric ones. Each its technical chapters is written by long-experienced internationally recognised researchers. The book provides a deep and comprehensive insight into plasma technology and its associated elemental processes and is illustrated throughout with excellent figures and references to complement each section. Although some of the topics covered can be traced back several decades care has been taken to emphasize the most recent findings and expected evolution. The first time the word ‘plasma’ appeared in print in a scientific text related to the study of electrical discharges in gases was 1928 when Irving Langmuir published his article ‘Oscillations in Ionized Gases’. It was the baptism of the predominant state of matter in the known universe (it is estimated that up to 99% of matter is plasma) although not on earth where the conditions of pressure and temperature make normal the states of matter (solid liquid gas) which in global terms are exotic. It is enough to add energy to a solid (in the form of heat or electromagnetic radiation) to go into the liquid state from which gas is obtained through an additional supply of energy. If we continue adding energy to the gas we will partially or totally ionise it and reach a new state of matter plasma made up of free electrons atoms and molecules (electrically neutral particles) and ions (endowed with a positive or a negative electric charge). | Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials

The State in Relation to Labour

The State in Relation to Labour

W. Stanley Jevons was a central figure linking political economy with social policy and The State in Relation to Labour is the quintessential product of that fusion. Jevons reviews how legislation enacted for the protection of labor re-established the social contract on a new industrial footing. The concept of industrial partnership insured that the state continued to hold a monopoly of power while taking account of rising labor agitation. Jevons' scholarly brilliance is evident in this pathbreaking work on economics and policy construction. The State in Relation to Labour deals with the economic role of government in resolving conflicts between different groups of English citizens. The issue of class is central to the topic and two further points are implicit. The first is the market economy as a product of the institutions which form and operate through it. Jevons argues that markets can be and indeed have been formed to favor one class interest or another. Second he asserts that conventional arguments favor the class interests they serve whether or not they are recognized to doing so. Jevons neither shrinks from candid analysis of English social political and economic history and institutions nor espouses an openly pragmatic approach to the economic role of government. He eschews the erection of class or other ideological sentiment into principles of policy. Implicit in his analysis is an understanding that some law some set of legal rights and limitations is necessary. The issue is not whether government will establish relative rights and responsibilities but what they will be and further when they will be changed. Among the topics discussed are principles of industrial legislation direct interference of the state with labor the Factory Acts and similar legislation directly affecting laborers trade union legislation the law of industrial conspiracy cooperation and industrial partnership and arbitration and conciliation. In a new introduction Warren J. Samuels examines the life and works of William Stanley Jevons. He discusses the various arguments put forth in The State in Relation to Labour and the consequences of Jevons' approach.
