Celebrity Mad Why Otherwise Intelligent People Worship Fame

Celebrity Mad Why Otherwise Intelligent People Worship Fame

This short book by Professor Brett Kahr provides a psychoanalytic understanding of fame and celebrity in the early twenty-first century building upon the bedrock foundations of the Freudian corpus. The book is divided into six chapters. Chapter One explores the psychology of the celebrity questioning narcissistic and exhibitionist psychopathology while Chapter Two examines the psychological state of those of who revel in the fame of others and in celebrity culture more broadly and offers a discussion of the Celebrity Worship Syndrome. Chapter Three provides a very brief history of the concept of celebrity itself arguing that contrary to popular opinion the culture of celebrification cannot be blamed on twenty-first-century media moguls but rather that such a preoccupation with famous personalities can be traced back to ancient times and demonstrates the need to broaden our analysis to include the role of deep unconscious psychological forces. In Chapter Four Kahr reviews some important theoretical concepts advanced by Freud and Winnicott which provide an important foundation for the psychoanalytic study of fame while Chapter Five provides a more comprehensive theory of the unconscious psychological roots of the need to worship fame and to seek it drawing upon a multitude of sources ranging from psychoanalytic theory and developmental psychological research to film archaeology and perhaps surprisingly the history of infanticide. The book concludes in Chapter Six by studying the psychodynamics of celebrity and fame arguing that being recognised by one’s family and friends in the intimate context of home life may well be the very best way to become a celebrity. Celebrity Mad outlines a psychoanalytic theory of the roots of our obsession with fame. It will be of great interest to psychoanalytic practitioners and researchers as well as to readers interested in the psychology of fame. | Celebrity Mad Why Otherwise Intelligent People Worship Fame

Pioneering African-American Women in the Advertising Business Biographies of MAD Black WOMEN

Pioneering African-American Women in the Advertising Business Biographies of MAD Black WOMEN

Much has been written about the men and women who shaped the field of advertising some of whom became legends in the industry. However the contributions of African-American women to the advertising business have largely been omitted from these accounts. Yet evidence reveals that some trailblazing African-American women who launched their careers during the 1960s Mad Men era went on to achieve prominent careers. This unique book chronicles the nature and significance of these women’s accomplishments examines the opportunities and challenges they experienced and explores how they coped with the extensive inequities common in the advertising profession. Using a biographical narrative approach this book examines the careers of these important African-American women who not only achieved managerial positions in major mainstream advertising agencies but also established successful agencies bearing their own names. Based on their words and memories this study reveals experiences which are intriguing triumphant bittersweet and sometimes tragic. These women’s stories comprise a vital part of the historical narrative on women and African-Americans in advertising and will be instructive not only to scholars of advertising and marketing history but to future generations of advertising professionals. | Pioneering African-American Women in the Advertising Business Biographies of MAD Black WOMEN

Exploring Sexuality and Disability A Guide for Human Service Professionals

Exploring Sexuality and Disability A Guide for Human Service Professionals

Offering a current comprehensive and intersectional guide for students practitioners and researchers this book synthesizes existing scholarship on culturally responsive practices that assist in exploring understanding and affirming the sexuality(ies) of disabled chronically ill neurodivergent and Mad individuals. Drawing on an intersectional framework it integrates insights drawn from an interdisciplinary body of scholarship including psychology social work sociology history political science women and gender studies cultural studies and education along with perspectives from the practitioners who are actively defining the next generation of best practices. By highlighting the incredible resilience and resistance of disabled individuals’ and communities’ sexuality and sexual well-being this book challenges narratives that rely primarily on a one-dimensional view derived from the medical model and the view of disability as something to be “fixed” – or at least tolerated – rather than celebrated. In a world that pathologizes and devalues the sexual existence of disabled individuals it illustrates how to create thriving communities and relationships and how they can organize to find their voice providing a counter-narrative of empowerment that fosters hopefulness power and health. It will be of interest to all scholars students and professionals across a variety of professions including social work psychology counseling policy healthcare education community organizing and multiple social service settings. | Exploring Sexuality and Disability A Guide for Human Service Professionals

Slums and Redevelopment Policy and Practice in England 1918–1945 with Particular Reference to London

Slums and Redevelopment (1992) moves between national policy formation and detailed local studies particularly of London studies involving landlords and property tenants and rehousing and the implementation of programmes. The interwar period it examines saw the restoration of slum clearance following a period of opposition and the onset of the first national slum clearance programme reaching its climax in the plans for large-scale redevelopment mad during World War II.

Madness Ideas About Insanity

Madness Ideas About Insanity

This book is an introduction to the uncertainties and incongruities about madness. It is aimed at all of those who are curious about this subject whether out of general inquisitiveness or because it is part of a formal course of study. Using case studies of real people in order to explain humanise and bring to life the subject Peter Morrall critically analyses how madness has been and is understood or perhaps misunderstood. By contrasting past and present people who have been perceived as mad and/or perceive themselves as mad Morrall presents core ideas about madness and critiques their would-be robustness in explaining the specific madness of the person in question as well as their general relevance to madness overall. Unlike many of its contemporaries the book does not adhere to a perspective but rather remains skeptical about the ideas of all who profess to understandmadness whether these emanate from sociology psychology psychotherapy anthropology ‘anti’ psychiatry or the biological sciences of contemporary‘scientific-psychiatry’. This book will inform and stimulate the thinking of the reader and challenge those with preconceived ideas about madness. | Madness Ideas About Insanity

Bruegel and the Creative Process 1559-1563

Bruegel and the Creative Process 1559-1563

The art Bruegel produced between 1559 and 1563 presents a rare opportunity to investigate a concentrated period of productivity by one of the world's greatest artists. In this brief period Bruegel produced some of his most original works-the first pictorial collection of contemporary customs in Carnival and Lent the first painting with children's activities as its subject in Children's Games the first large-scale painting of a proverb collection the unique and enigmatic Dulle Griet (Mad Meg) and the extraordinary Triumph of Death his disturbing vision of men and women fighting off the onslaught of death. In this comprehensive study Margaret A. Sullivan accounts for this burst of creativity its intensity innovation and brevity by taking all aspects of the creative process into consideration-from the technical demands of picture-making to the constraints imposed by the dangerous religious and political situation. | Bruegel and the Creative Process 1559-1563
