Striking Images Iconoclasms Past and Present

Striking Images Iconoclasms Past and Present

All cultures make and break images. Striking Images Iconoclasms Past and Present explores how and why people have made and modified images and other cultural material from pre-history into the 21st century. With its impressive chronological sweep and disciplinary breadth this is the first book about iconoclasm (the breaking of images) and the transformation of broader sets of signs that includes contributions from archaeologists curators and museum conservators as well as historians of art literature and religious studies. The chapters examine themes critical to the study of iconoclasm: violence punishment memory intentionality ruins and relics and their survival. The conclusion shows how cross-disciplinary debate amongst the contributors informed Tate Britain’s 'Art under Attack' exhibition (2013) and addresses the challenges iconoclasm presents to the modern museum. By juxtaposing objects and places usually considered in isolation Striking Images raises provocative questions about our understandings of cross-cultural differences and the value of representational objects from the broken swords of pre-historical bog graves to the Bamiyan Buddhas and contemporary art. Are any such objects ever ’finished’ or are they simply subject to constant transformation? In dialogue with each other the essays consider this question and expand the field of iconoclasm - and cultural - studies.

Technological Innovation And The Great Depression

Technological Innovation And The Great Depression

In this unique volume Rick Szostak takes an innovative approach toward analyzing the Great Depression of the 1930s. Most of the literature focuses on the movement in aggregate variables but Szostak provides evidence primarily at the sectoral level being careful to show that this argument is consistent with aggregate data. Combining a fresh theoretical viewpoint and industry-level analysis Szostak contends that an abundance of process technology made it possible for industry to produce the existing range of products with a much smaller labor input while a shortage of new product technology severely limited the introduction of new products. Pinpointing how the timing of the Second Industrial Revolution affected the evolution of the workplace and how the industrial research laboratories that emerged in the United States in the twentieth century initially emphasized process over product innovation he explains why this conjunction of technological forces caused both consumption and investment to fall so precipitously in early 1929. In addition to exploring the technological and employment experience of specific sectors Szostak looks at trends in income distribution and population and other factors that created the ultimate economic depression. | Technological Innovation And The Great Depression

Food for Degrowth Perspectives and Practices

Food for Degrowth Perspectives and Practices

This collection breaks new ground by investigating applications of degrowth in a range of geographic practical and theoretical contexts along the food chain. Degrowth challenges growth and advocates for everyday practices that limit socio-metabolic energy and material flows within planetary constraints. As such the editors intend to map possibilities for food for degrowth to become established as a field of study. International contributors offer a range of examples and possibilities to develop more sustainable localised resilient and healthy food systems using degrowth principles of sufficiency frugal abundance security autonomy and conviviality. Chapters are clustered in parts that critically examine food for degrowth in spheres of the household collectives networks and narratives of broader activism and discourses. Themes include broadening and deepening concepts of care in food provisioning and social contexts; critically applying appropriate technologies; appreciating and integrating indigenous perspectives; challenging notions of 'waste' 'circular economies' and commodification; and addressing the ever-present impacts of market logic framed by growth. This book will be of greatest interest to students and scholars of critical food studies sustainability studies urban political ecology geography environmental studies such as environmental sociology anthropology ethnography ecological economics and urban design and planning. | Food for Degrowth Perspectives and Practices

Object Relations and Intersubjective Theories in the Practice of Psychotherapy

Object Relations and Intersubjective Theories in the Practice of Psychotherapy

The evolution of psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapy has been marked by an increasing disconnect between theory and technique. This book re-establishes a bridge between the two. In presenting a clear explanation of modern psychodynamic theory and concepts and an abundance of clinical illustrations Brodie shows how every aspect of psychodynamic therapy is determined by current psychodynamic theory. In Object Relations and Intersubjective Theories in the Practice of Psychotherapy Brodie uses the theoretical foundation of the work of object relations theorist D. W. Winnicott showing how each of his developmental concepts have clear implications for psychodynamic treatment and builds on the contributions of current intersubjective theorists Thomas Ogden and Jessica Benjamin. Added to this is Brodie’s vast array of clinical material ranging from delinquent adolescents to high-functioning adults and drawing on nearly 40 years of experience in psychotherapy. These contributions are fresh and original and crucially demonstrate how clinical technique is informed by theory and how theory can be illuminated by clinical material. Written with clarity and detail this book will appeal to graduate students in psychology and psychotherapy medical residents in psychiatry and young practicing psychotherapists who wish to fully explore why psychotherapists do what they do and the dialectical relationship between theory and technique that informs their work.

Towards a Society of Degrowth

Towards a Society of Degrowth

This book explores the concept of degrowth beginning from a basic assumption not of resource depletion as is common in most literature in the field but rather from a state of abundance arguing that there is a vast amount of energy on the planet waiting to be utilized by all its inhabitants. Adopting a sociological approach Onofrio Romano argues that the growth momentum is not simply a broadly shared “value ” but the physiological outcome of a specific institutional frame. The problem is that in its mainstream formulation the degrowth alternative shares with the growth-led regime some basic anthropological political and institutional pillars. In order to build a real alternative Romano suggests reviewing degrowth in the light of the dépense notion by Georges Bataille. According to Bataille our societies have no problem with acknowledging scarcity but with dealing with the surplus energy that calls us to act for a qualified life. So in order to erase the growth obsession we have to ward off the “servile” dimension i. e. the utilitarian activities needed for the mere reproduction of life to regain sovereignty as reflected in the de-thinking subject. Innovative and provocative Towards a Society of Degrowth will be of great interest to students and scholars of degrowth sociology social anthropology political ecology and ecological economics.

Concepts of Capital The Commodification of Social Life

Concepts of Capital The Commodification of Social Life

Borrowing terminology from the economic discipline‘specifically the concept of capital has led to an abundance of new terms in the social sciences: human capital social capital and cultural capital to name the most prominent representatives on an ever-growing list. In this interdisciplinary transaction the concept is borrowed and the original meaning extended until the new concepts often have nothing left in common with their initial referents. Here Jacek Tittenbrun offers a critical analysis of human social and cultural capital on the basis of their uses and misuses across a wide range of social sciences simultaneously revealing the source of conceptual diffusion in the real world. He presents a two-pronged analysis of an intellectual fashion popular in the social sciences and offers a critical analysis of a range of concepts constructed around the common core of capital. The analysis is innovative as it is underpinned by a theoretical framework rooted in economic sociology and the concept of ownership in particular. The approach is one of the sociology of knowledge coupled with a substantive critique-application of the given concepts. The volume reveals a range of processes in the real world that account for the conceptual diffusion. The general reader will be drawn to the discussion in the second half of the book a study of a variety of relatable real life situations that illuminate privatization and commodification in our lives. | Concepts of Capital The Commodification of Social Life

SamulNori: Korean Percussion for a Contemporary World

SamulNori: Korean Percussion for a Contemporary World

SamulNori is a percussion quartet which has given rise to a genre of the same name that is arguably Korea’s most successful ’traditional’ music of recent times. Today there are dozens of amateur and professional samulnori groups. There is a canon of samulnori pieces closely associated with the first founding quartet but played by all and many creative evolutions on the basic themes made by the rapidly growing number of virtuosic percussionists. And the genre is the focus of an abundance of workshops festivals and contests. Samulnori is taught in primary and middle schools; it is part of Korea’s national education curriculum. It has dedicated institutes and there are a number of workbooks devoted to helping wannabe ’samulnorians’. It is a familiar part of Korean performance culture at home and abroad in concerts but also in films and theatre productions. SamulNori uses four instruments: kkwaenggwari and ching small and large gongs and changgo and puk drums. These are the instruments of local percussion bands and itinerant troupes that trace back many centuries but samulnori is a recent development of these older traditions: it was first performed in February 1978. This volume explores this vibrant percussion genre charting its origins and development the formation of the canon of pieces teaching and learning strategies new evolutions and current questions relating to maintaining developing and sustaining samulnori in the future. | SamulNori: Korean Percussion for a Contemporary World

Credentials Understand the problems

Credentials Understand the problems

The credentials environment grows more complicated by the day but key questions help us understand why we need this book to help us grapple with those complexities: • Given the expansion in the variety of higher education credentials and in approaches to earning them why are so many students disappointed with their post-secondary credentials?• Despite the proliferation of credentials tailored to specific careers why do so many employers complain that the preparation of their new hires is inadequate? • Despite their investment in new programs meant to attract new enrollees why are so many colleges and universities facing issues with student persistence timely credential completion and career success?The plan of the book reflects the authors’ practical aim. In the first of three parts they offer a broad view of the credentials environment—how credentials work how a proliferation in credentials has created an unprecedented array of educational choices and why this abundance is a mixed blessing. In the second part they focus on categories of credentials from the associate degree to doctoral degrees to non-degree credentials. The book concludes with two chapters that consider the implications of the information the authors provide for leadership in volatile times: one discusses the importance of maintaining a priority on equity; the other offers 12 propositions for action. To help make the book useful each chapter begins with a paragraph that summarizes the emphases to follow and ends with a list of initiatives i. e. “takeaways ” that leaders (and those attentive to what leaders are doing) should consider. | Credentials Understand the problems

Integrating Relational Psychoanalysis and EMDR Embodied Experience and Clinical Practice

Integrating Relational Psychoanalysis and EMDR Embodied Experience and Clinical Practice

Integrating Relational Psychoanalysis and EMDR: Embodied Experience and Clinical Practice provides contemporary theoretical and clinical links between Relational Psychoanalysis attachment theory neuroscience and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing all of which bring both the patient’s and analyst’s embodied experience into the forefront of clinical thinking and practice. The author grounds an in-depth view on the ways psychoanalysis and EMDR can be effectively integrated to complement each other through a presentation of fundamental concepts and an abundance of insightful and moving clinical vignettes. Hemda Arad outlines the theoretical and clinical concepts that allow the integration of Relational Psychoanalysis with EMDR’s unique contributions specifically appreciating the neurological and embodied experience in an individual’s development in relation to the classic talking cure’s approach to dealing with big T trauma and with small t everyday attachment-related trauma. Arad describes a view of a modified EMDR approach capable of reaching many patients beyond the trauma work for which it originally became known in order to lend its more embodied approach to the advancement of the relational endeavor. Vivid clinical illustrations chosen to elucidate theoretical concepts make the complex theoretical ideas more accessible. The clinical portions illustrate a range of ways that EMDR and relational work which may at first seem incompatible may be integrated to help therapists navigate the two methods. Integrating Relational Psychoanalysis and EMDR: Embodied Experience and Clinical Practice will appeal to psychoanalysts psychoanalytic psychotherapists and psychodynamic therapists who wish to learn about the relational tradition in theory and practice or are seeking a way to integrate their work with other versatile approaches such as EMDR as well as advanced students studying across these areas and EMDR clinicians who would like to broaden the scope of their skills. | Integrating Relational Psychoanalysis and EMDR Embodied Experience and Clinical Practice
