Holocaust scholars and students as well as people interested in personal narratives interpersonal relations and the problem of dehumanization during the Holocaust will find this study particularly thought-provoking. Essentially this book highlights the benefits of reading with empathy and paying attention to emotions for understanding the experiences of people in the past especially those facing tragedy and trauma. | Emotions in Yiddish Ghetto Diaries Encountering Persecutors and Questioning Humanity

Psychoanalytic Diaries of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Psychoanalytic Diaries of the COVID-19 Pandemic

This intimate book explores the experiences of two psychoanalysts during the COVID-19 pandemic. It presents Angelo Antonio Moroni’s psychoanalytic diary and Pietro Roberto Goisis’s clinical diary two highly personal perspectives that explore the interplay of the personal and the psychoanalytic during a time of collective trauma. Angelo’s account written from his ‘camp tent’ examines how fundamental time-tested procedures are suddenly questioned. Roberto’s diary is the story of his own experience as a COVID patient the mutually therapeutic caring relationships he encounters and his efforts to keep his analytical expertise alive and well. The two accounts share painful and graphic experiences of the trauma of the pandemic and how the authors were forced to reconsider the issues of analytical ‘asymmetry’ and ‘neutrality’. Psychoanalytic Diaries of the COVID-19 Pandemic will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training and to readers with an interest in clinical and personal accounts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Life-Writing Genre and Criticism in the Texts of Sylvia Townsend Warner and Valentine Ackland Women Writing for Women

Life-Writing Genre and Criticism in the Texts of Sylvia Townsend Warner and Valentine Ackland Women Writing for Women

Sylvia Townsend Warner has increasingly become recognized as a significant and distinctive talent amongst twentieth-century authors. This volume explores her remarkable relationship with Valentine Ackland - her partner for forty years - by closely examining their letters and diaries alongside a selection of their other texts in particular their poetry. This analysis reveals the crucial role their writing played in establishing maintaining and defending their intimacy and describes the emergence of an alternative textual world upon which they became wholly reliant. Examining how Warner and Ackland exploited the distance between their lived life and their accounts of it gives rise to many fascinating and untold stories. Furthermore in investigating the fluidity of the boundaries between letters diaries and fiction this book also provides a fresh perspective on these life-writing forms. Warner and Ackland's need to speak as women writers and lovers shaped their texts so that they became not simply records of events nor acts of communication but complex documents in which love is won and lost myths are created and lives are changed as will be the perspectives of those who read this book. | Life-Writing Genre and Criticism in the Texts of Sylvia Townsend Warner and Valentine Ackland Women Writing for Women

Re-imagining Democracy Legacy Impact and Lessons of Spain's 15-M Movement

Re-imagining Democracy Legacy Impact and Lessons of Spain's 15-M Movement

This interdisciplinary book draws on leading scholarship on one of the most influential and consequential social movements of the past decades: Spain’s 15-M movement. The volume explores the legacy impact and outcomes of the movement and the lessons it offers for understanding mobilization in times of crisis. The book opens with a theoretical reconsideration of the positive ways social movements can impact democracy moving the field forward significantly. It also offers rich case studies to explore a range of areas of interest to social movement scholars. Chapters explore the biographical consequences of participation in social movements; how memories of the movement inspired new mobilizations; the reciprocal influence between the 15-M movement and feminist economics; how urban democracy was transformed by municipalism arising from the movement; how the movement generated a “Caring democracy” in the face of the Covid pandemic; and how it gave rise to a new radical democratic media ecosystem. The book explores the movement’s political economy as well as reflects on one of its unintended consequences: the rise of the penalization of counter-hegemonic protest in contemporary Spain. Although focused on a single emblematic movement it offers significant insights and lessons for scholarship on contemporary politics and movements. Re-imagining Democracy provides a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in the challenges faced by contemporary democracies the dynamics of social movements in times of crisis and the profound impact of social movements on contemporary democracy. The chapters in this book were originally published as a peer-reviewed special issue of Social Movement Studies. | Re-imagining Democracy Legacy Impact and Lessons of Spain's 15-M Movement

Histories of the Self Personal Narratives and Historical Practice

Histories of the Self Personal Narratives and Historical Practice

Histories of the Self interrogates historians’ work with personal narratives. It introduces students and researchers to scholarly approaches to diaries letters oral history and memoirs as sources that give access to intimate aspects of the past. Historians are interested as never before in how people thought and felt about their lives. This turn to the personal has focused attention on the capacity of subjective records to illuminate both individual experiences and the wider world within which narrators lived. However sources such as letters diaries memoirs and oral history have been the subject of intense debate over the last forty years concerning both their value and the uses to which they can be put. This book traces the engagement of historians of the personal with notions of historical reliability and with the issue of representativeness and it explores the ways in which they have overcome the scepticism of earlier practitioners. It celebrates their adventures with the meanings of the past buried in personal narratives and applauds their transformation of historical practice. Supported by case studies from across the globe and spanning the fifteenth to twenty-first centuries Histories of the Self is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the ways personal testimony has been and can be used by historians. | Histories of the Self Personal Narratives and Historical Practice

The Gallipoli Campaign The Turkish Perspective

The Gallipoli Campaign The Turkish Perspective

The war against the Ottomans on Gallipoli in Palestine and in Mesopotamia was a major enterprise for the Allies with important long-term geo-political consequences. The absence of a Turkish perspective written in English represents a huge gap in the historiography of the First World War. This timely collection of wide-ranging essays on the campaign drawing on Turkish sources and written by experts in the field addresses this gap. Scholars employ archival documents from the Turkish General Staff diaries and letters of Turkish soldiers Ottoman journals and newspapers published during the campaign and recent academic literature by Turkish scholars to reveal a different perspective on the campaign which should breathe new life into English-language historiography on this crucial series of events. | The Gallipoli Campaign The Turkish Perspective

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.
