In Conversation with Karen Barad Doings of Agential Realism

In Conversation with Karen Barad Doings of Agential Realism

In Conversation with Karen Barad: Doings of Agential Realism is an accessible introduction to Karen Barad’s agential realist philosophy. The authors take on a unique approach to involve the readers in in/formal conversations between Karen postgraduate and other researchers at a research event held in 2017 at Cape Town South Africa. It features chapters that have been contributed by seminar delegates and organisers which put forth the continuing impact that Karen Barad has had on their empirical work research writing and drawing practices. The text further discusses the ethical and political significance of Karen’s work especially in the context of de/colonizing South African higher education. The chapters offer a series of worked posthumanist pedagogical examples and describe how a research seminar was organised differently and more in line with Baradian radical philosophy. At its heart this book makes a methodological and pedagogical contribution to the surge in literature on agential realism whilst simultaneously challenging dominant research binaries and arguing for a more egalitarian way of working together in knowledge-creation by troubling human and more-than-human hierarchies. The book’s uniqueness is further fortified through its description of in/formal conversations which are diffracted through chapters a doing of agential realism to reconfigure relationships between lecturer and student expert and novice supervisor and supervised researcher and research participants. These radical conversations are dis/continuing. This book will be invaluable for students and individuals interested in advancing their understanding of agential realism and Karen Barad’s influence at large as well as students and scholars interested in postqualitative methods in all disciplines. | In Conversation with Karen Barad Doings of Agential Realism

Individualism and Moral Character Karen Horney's Depth Psychology

Individualism and Moral Character Karen Horney's Depth Psychology

There are hundreds of different systems of psychotherapy today ranging from the traditional talking cure to symbolic re-birthing and primal scream. The landscape is littered with serious social science pop psychology esoteric doctrine and pure charlatanism. One of the obvious dangers of so many choices is that the best therapies may be lost in a profusion of competing schools and traditions. To some extent this has been the fate of the school of psychotherapy developed by Karen Horney. Since her death in 1952 Horney's work has received insufficient attention in part because criticism of Freud's thought may have tainted attitudes toward psychotherapy in general. Jeff Mitchell argues that Karen Horney's school of psychoanalysis constitutes a highly innovative moral psychology. He interprets her approach to the treatment of personality or character disorders as a form of moral education. Drawing on research in the social sciences particularly anthropology sociology and psychology Mitchell argues that Horney's reworking of Freud's thinking preserves and builds upon what was truly insightful in his work and eliminates the most dubious elements. Her thinking acknowledges that today individuals achieve their own identities rather than accepting what was ascribed to them by birth. This makes Karen Horney's theories especially relevant both for psychotherapy as well as to thought about human affairs in general. | Individualism and Moral Character Karen Horney's Depth Psychology

Shaping Futures Learning for Competence and Citizenship

Shaping Futures Learning for Competence and Citizenship

First published in 1998 this volume draws on studies of real-life experiences in the status passage to adulthood and argues that policies must be based on more holistic analyses of social dynamics. Karen M. Evans recognises that the time taken to reach adult status has lengthened in all the industrialised countries. At the same time the risks for young people trying to 'make their way' have increased. How are they experiencing the new circumstances? What kinds of preparation and support do they need to become full citizens? What roles should education training work and the community have in providing this? As well as providing learning support they must include measures which help to change the social and material conditions which stretch many young people beyond their capacities to cope unaided and which can defeat and ultimately exclude. | Shaping Futures Learning for Competence and Citizenship

Permanent Liminality and Modernity Analysing the Sacrificial Carnival through Novels

Permanent Liminality and Modernity Analysing the Sacrificial Carnival through Novels

This book offers a comprehensive sociological study of the nature and dynamics of the modern world through the use of a series of anthropological concepts including the trickster schismogenesis imitation and liminality. Developing the view that with the theatre playing a central role the modern world is conditioned as much by cultural processes as it is by economic technological or scientific ones the author contends the world is to a considerable extent theatrical - a phenomenon experienced as inauthenticity or a loss of direction and meaning. As such the novel is revealed as a means for studying our theatricalised reality not simply because novels can be understood to be likening the world to theatre but because they effectively capture and present the reality of a world that has been thoroughly ’theatricalised’ - and they do so more effectively than the main instruments usually employed to analyse reality: philosophy and sociology. With analyses of some of the most important novelists and novels of modern culture including Rilke Hofmannsthal Kafka Mann Blixen Broch and Bulgakov and focusing on fin-de-siècle Vienna as a crucial ’threshold’ chronotope of modernity Permanent Liminality and Modernity demonstrates that all seek to investigate and unmask the theatricalisation of modern life with its progressive loss of meaning and our deteriorating capacity to distinguish between what is meaningful and what is artificial. Drawing on the work of Nietzsche Bakhtin and Girard to examine the ways in which novels explore the reduction of human existence to a state of permanent liminality in the form of a sacrificial carnival this book will appeal to scholars of social anthropological and literary theory. | Permanent Liminality and Modernity Analysing the Sacrificial Carnival through Novels

Xenakis Creates in Architecture and Music The Reynolds Desert House

Xenakis Creates in Architecture and Music The Reynolds Desert House

Xenakis Creates in Architecture and Music describes the collaborative interaction of internationally acclaimed composer Roger Reynolds musician Karen Reynolds and musically inspired composer engineer and architect Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001) to create a house design The Reynolds Desert House. The process combined aesthetics and intuition with mathematical systems showcasing how art and science are balanced—by way of music and architecture—to address the essential technical aspects of music along with the role of emotion and energy. The book analyzes three representative chamber works and presents a trove of primary sources: letters diaries notes photographs sketches and person-to-person conversations. What emerges are patterns of direct parallels between how Xenakis characterized the process of musical creation and his design of The Reynolds Desert House. Xenakis Creates in Architecture and Music is a testament to the singularly innovative and creative mind of Iannis Xenakis.

Social Work in Higher Education Demise or Development?

Social Work in Higher Education Demise or Development?

First published in 1999 in the light of recent moves towards deprofessionalisation and instrumentalism Karen Lyons has conducted extensive research into the challenges facing social work training as a higher education discipline. Here these challenges are located in a discussion of wider changes in both higher education and the personal social services and are also linked to debates about professional education and the nature of knowledge. The analysis is based on original data and includes reference to pedagogical and cultural factors and to internal and external policies which might make social work viable or vulnerable in the higher education context. This multi-disciplinary perspective reflects a characteristic of social work study itself - a quality which might be seen as either problematic or as a strength. The book concludes that while the future scale and form of the social work subject area lie partly outside the control of social work educators they have a key role to play in the development of the discipline. This includes the promotion of research which should underpin the creation of knowledge and inform professional practice in the changing field of personal social services. | Social Work in Higher Education Demise or Development?

Transactional Analysis Coaching Distinctive Features

Transactional Analysis Coaching Distinctive Features

This important book distils the essence of developmental Transactional Analysis (TA) frameworks that are most useful to bring alive professional coaching competencies. Karen Pratt offers clear outlines of TA frameworks as well as describing how they are applied in coaching with snippets of coaching conversations as illustrations of the theory in practice. Pratt highlights key TA frameworks in enough detail to be easily grasped but with a focus on application in coaching and other developmental conversations. A TA approach powerfully guides coaches in their listening and questioning. TA is not used as a coaching ‘technique’ – it offers psychological understanding of human beings and the meaning they make of who they are in the world. Such awareness is key for both professionals and clients in meaningful partnerships for development. Transactional Analysis Coaching will be key reading for professionals working within present-centered contracts for change – coaches trainers facilitators supervisors teachers mentors and managers – seeking to understand how TA can impact their development. It will be of great interest to coaches in training and will provide a useful resource for clients in their ongoing development. | Transactional Analysis Coaching Distinctive Features

The Art and Politics of Asger Jorn The Avant-Garde Won't Give Up

The Art and Politics of Asger Jorn The Avant-Garde Won't Give Up

A leading figure of the postwar avant-garde Danish artist Asger Jorn has long been recognized for his founding contributions to the Cobra and Situationist International movements - yet art historical scholarship on Jorn has been sparse particularly in English. This study corrects that imbalance offering a synthetic account of the essential phases of this prolific artist’s career. It addresses his works in various media alongside his extensive writings and his collaborations with various artists' groups from the 1940s through the mid-1960s. Situating Jorn's work in an international post-Second World War context Karen Kurczynski reframes our understanding of the 1950s away from the Abstract-Expressionist focus on individual expression toward a more open-ended conception of art as a public engagement with contemporary culture and politics. Kurczynski engages with issues of interest to twenty-first-century artists and scholars highlighting Jorn's proposition that the sensory address of art and its complex relationship to popular media can have a direct social impact. Perhaps most significantly this study foregrounds Jorn's assertion that creativity is crucial to subjectivity itself in our increasingly mediated 'Society of the Spectacle.

Figures of Entanglement Diffractive Readings of Barad New Materialism and Rhetorical Theory and Criticism

Figures of Entanglement Diffractive Readings of Barad New Materialism and Rhetorical Theory and Criticism

Recent and ongoing new materialisms scholarship seeks to fundamentally reshape the humanities and their relationship with the sciences. While this work comprises multiple and varied currents one of the most important yet whose distinctive merits are arguably often underappreciated is that influenced by the theoretical physicist and feminist philosopher Karen Barad. The first volume devoted to bringing Barad’s work into conversation with the disciplines of rhetoric and communication studies this collection organizes that conversation primarily around her notion of entanglement which encourages an understanding of meaning as inherently performative material and ecological. In doing so the essays in this collection variously approach rhetoric as a figure of entanglement in ways that contribute to and enrich both rhetoric and Barad’s theorizing. Topics range from politics to breast cancer genealogy the trope of academic turns Marx’s notion of exchange and the prehistoric emergence of human consciousness. With a new foreword by the editors and afterword by Laurie E. Gries this collection is otherwise reprinted from the 2016 Figures of Entanglement special issue of the journal Review of Communication. | Figures of Entanglement Diffractive Readings of Barad New Materialism and Rhetorical Theory and Criticism

Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach

Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach

In Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels Bernard J. Paris offers an analysis of the protagonists in four of Jane Austen's most popular novels. His analysis reveals them to be brilliant mimetic creations who often break free of the formal and thematic limitations placed upon them by Austen. Paris traces the powerful tensions between form theme and mimesis in Mansfield Park Emma Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion. Paris uses Northrop Frye's theory of comic forms to analyze and describe the formal structure of the novels and Karen Horney's psychological theories to explore the personalities and inner conflicts of the main characters. The concluding chapter turns from the characters to their creator employing the Horneyan categories of self-effacing detached and expansive personality types to interpret Jane Austen's own personality. Readers of Jane Austen will find much that is new and challenging in this study. It is one of the few books to recognize and pay tribute to Jane Austen's genius in characterization. Anyone who reads this book will come away with a new understanding of Austen's heroines as imagined human beings and also with a deeper feeling for the troubled humanity of the author herself. | Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach

Theorising Public Pedagogy The Educative Agent in the Public Realm

Theorising Public Pedagogy The Educative Agent in the Public Realm

Drawing on the ideas of Hannah Arendt and Michel Foucault this book extends the theoretical understanding of public pedagogy and brings into sharp focus the elements that constitute the public realm; the site of public pedagogy. Karen Charman and Mary Dixon offer a new theorisation of the public a term at the heart of debate in the field heightened in this post-truth era by the COVID-19 pandemic the rise of fake news and the technological reconfigurations of public life. The new theorization addresses the ‘public’ ‘pedagogy’ and their confluence in ‘public pedagogy’. The book explores a deep engagement with the architecture and dynamics of pedagogy and argues for the positioning of pedagogy with the public. The authors contribute to a theorisation that re-considers the individual and their capacity for agency within the public realm. The book presents knowledge and pedagogical encounters as key elements of public pedagogy and most significantly the educative agent as a means of critically rethinking social life and learning in public spaces. Presenting an innovative theoretical approach this book will be of interest to academics in the fields of public and critical pedagogy and postgraduate students in education cultural studies and politics. | Theorising Public Pedagogy The Educative Agent in the Public Realm

What Makes a Philosopher Great? Thirteen Arguments for Twelve Philosophers

What Makes a Philosopher Great? Thirteen Arguments for Twelve Philosophers

This book is inspired by a single powerful question. What is it to be great as a philosopher? No single grand answer is presumed to be possible; instead rewardingly close studies of philosophical greatness are developed. This is a scholarly yet accessible volume blending metaphilosophy with the long history of philosophy and traversing centuries and continents. The result is a series of case studies by accomplished scholars each chapter trying to understand and convey a particular philosopher’s greatness: Lloyd P. Gerson on Plato Karyn Lai on Zhuangzi David Bronstein on Aristotle Jonardon Ganeri on Buddhaghosa Jeffrey Hause on Aquinas Gary Hatfield on Descartes Karen Detlefsen on du Chtelet Don Garrett on Hume Allen Wood on Kant (as a moral philosopher) Nicholas F. Stang on Kant (as a metaphysician) Ken Gemes on Nietzsche Cheryl Misak on Peirce David Macarthur on Wittgenstein This also serves a larger philosophical purpose. Might we gain increased clarity about what philosophy is in the first place? After all in practice we individuate philosophy partly through its greatest practitioners’ greatest contributions. The book does not discuss every philosopher who has been regarded as great. The point is not to offer a definitive list of The Great Philosophers but rather to learn something about what great philosophy is and might be from illuminated examples of past greatness. | What Makes a Philosopher Great?

History and Material Culture A Student's Guide to Approaching Alternative Sources

History and Material Culture A Student's Guide to Approaching Alternative Sources

Sources are the raw material of History but whereas the written word has traditionally been seen as the principal source historians now recognize the value of sources beyond text. In this new edition of History and Material Culture contributors consider a range of objects – from an eighteenth-century bed curtain to a twenty-first-century shopping trolley – which can help historians develop new interpretations and new knowledge about the past. Containing two new chapters on healing objects in East Africa and the shopping trolley in the social world this book examines a variety of material sources from around the globe and across centuries to assess how such sources can be used to study the distant and the recent past. In a revised introduction Karen Harvey discusses some of the principal issues raised when historians use material culture particularly in the context of 'the material turn' and suggests some initial steps for those unfamiliar with these kinds of sources. While the sources are discussed from interdisciplinary perspectives the emphasis of the book is on what historians stand to gain from using material culture as well as what historians have to offer the broader study of material culture. Clearly written and accessible this book is the ideal introduction to the opportunities and challenges of researching material culture and is essential reading for all students of historical theory and method. | History and Material Culture A Student's Guide to Approaching Alternative Sources
