Lacanian Psychoanalysis and Eastern Orthodox Christian Anthropology in Dialogue

Lacanian Psychoanalysis and Eastern Orthodox Christian Anthropology in Dialogue

This book vigorously engages Lacan with a spiritual tradition that has yet to be thoroughly addressed within psychoanalytic literature—the Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition. The book offers a unique engagement with a faith system that highlights and extends analytic thinking. For those in formation within the Orthodox tradition this book brings psychoanalytic insights to bear on matters of faith that may at times seem opaque or difficult to understand. Ultimately the authors seek to elicit in the reader the reflective and contemplative posture of Orthodoxy as well as the listening ear of analysis while considering the human subject. This work is relevant and important for those training in psychoanalysis and Orthodox theology or ministry as well as for those interested in the intersection between psychoanalysis and religion. | Lacanian Psychoanalysis and Eastern Orthodox Christian Anthropology in Dialogue

Henry Irving A Re-Evaluation of the Pre-Eminent Victorian Actor-Manager

Henry Irving A Re-Evaluation of the Pre-Eminent Victorian Actor-Manager

Henry Irving (1838-1905) the first actor to be knighted dominated the theatre in Britain and beyond for over a quarter of a century. As an actor he was strikingly different with his idiosyncratic pronunciation his somewhat ungainly physique and his brilliant psychological portrayals of virtue and villainy. As a director of spectacular and commercially driven entertainments Irving anticipated Hollywood directors from D. W. Griffith to Stephen Spielberg. And as manager of the Lyceum Theatre where audiences included the leading public figures of the day he controlled every aspect of the performance. This collection of essays by leading theatre scholars explores each element of Irving's art: his acting his contribution to the plays he commissioned his flair for the stage picture and his ear for incidental music. Like Wagner Irving was a proponent of a holistic approach to the stage that is blending together acting painting music and architecture to create harmonious balanced and artistic theatre. Irving emerges not only as the peer of such eminent contemporaries as Tennyson Sullivan Shaw and Burne-Jones but also as a powerful influence on the twentieth-century theatre. | Henry Irving A Re-Evaluation of the Pre-Eminent Victorian Actor-Manager

The Tragic Odes of Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead Mystery Dances in the Magic Theater

The Tragic Odes of Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead Mystery Dances in the Magic Theater

The Tragic Odes of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead is a multifaceted study of tragedy in the group’s live performances showing how Garcia brought about catharsis through dance by leading songs of grief mortality and ironic fate in a collective theatrical context. This musical literary and historical analysis of thirty-five songs with tragic dimensions performed by Garcia in concert with the Grateful Dead illustrates the syncretic approach and acute editorial ear he applied in adapting songs of Robert Hunter Bob Dylan and folk tradition. Tragically ironic situations in which Garcia found himself when performing these songs are revealed including those related to his opiate addiction and final decline. This book examines Garcia’s musical craftsmanship and the Grateful Dead’s collective art in terms of the mystery-rites of ancient Greece Friedrich Nietzsche’s Dionysus 20th century American music rooted in New Orleans Hermann Hesse’s Magic Theater and the Greek Theatre at Berkeley offering a clear prospect on an often misunderstood phenomenon. Featuring interdisciplinary analysis close attention to musical and poetic strategies and historical and critical contexts this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of Popular Music Musicology Cultural Studies and American Studies as well as to the Grateful Dead’s avid listeners. | The Tragic Odes of Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead Mystery Dances in the Magic Theater

Modeling Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Modeling Sensorineural Hearing Loss

A recent study indicates that 20 million people in the United States have significant sensorineural hearing loss. Approximately 95% of those people have partial losses with varying degrees of residual hearing. These percentages are similar in other developed countries. What changes in the function of the cochlea or inner ear cause such losses? What does the world sound like to the 19 million people with residual hearing? How should we transform sounds to correct for the hearing loss and maximize restoration of normal hearing? Answers to such questions require detailed models of the way that sounds are processed by the nervous system both for listeners with normal hearing and for those with sensorineural hearing loss. This book contains chapters describing the work of 25 different research groups. A great deal of research in recent years has been aimed at obtaining a better physiological description of the altered processes that cause sensorineural hearing loss and a better understanding of transformations that occur in the perception of those sounds that are sufficiently intense that they can still be heard. Efforts to understand these changes in function have lead to a better understanding of normal function as well. This research has been based on rigorous mathematical models computer simulations of mechanical and physiological processes and signal processing simulations of the altered perceptual experience of listeners with sensorineural hearing loss. This book provides examples of all these approaches to modeling sensorineural hearing loss and a summary of the latest research in the field.

The Functional and Evolutionary Biology of Primates

The Functional and Evolutionary Biology of Primates

These original contributions on the evolution of primates and the techniques for studying the subject cover an enormous range of material and incorporate the work of specialists from many different fields showing the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach to problems of primate morphology and phylogeny. Collectively they demonstrate the concerns and methods of leading contemporary workers in this and related fields. Each contributor shows his way of attacking fundamental problems of evolutionary primatology. The range of findings in this book include new clues to the evolution of the middle ear and the subsistence behavior of early primates a persuasive critique of the Smith-Jones hypothesis that many features of primate cranial morphology are adaptations to the special vicissitudes of arboreal habitation the remarkable association of relative muscle mass in the hands and feet of catarrhine primates with the particularities of prehensile behaviors the wealth of behavioral data that may be obtained by the concentrated study of certain primates in the vicinity of waterholes the striking differences between inferences about the same behavioral phenomena that are based on long-term as opposed to short-term observations of one primate social group and the strategy of sophisticated mathematical techniques for elucidating biomechanical evolutionary and behavioral problems. Each chapter conveys the status and progress of research in these and other particular areas of special interest pointing the way toward further clarification of the functional biology and phylogeny of primates through the application of relatively new techniques or the comprehensive employment of available methods. No attempt is made to smooth over controversial points of view or to endorse a single uniform model of primate evolution. This work will be an important reference for evolutionary and physical anthropologists evolutionary biologists comparative morphologists human anatomists behavioralists and students of evolution. | The Functional and Evolutionary Biology of Primates
