Forbidden Sex Forbidden Texts New India's Gay Poets

The book argues that there is no monolithic homosexuality; there are only homosexualities that is there are as many reasons for being gay as there are gays. Some people are born gay some have gayness thrust upon them and some do indeed achieve to great gayness. Representation of homosexuality/homoeroticism as it is understood today is thus a western import. The act and public/social discourses on same-sex love are still illegal; it is according to many against the Indian ‘tradition’; and a sense of ‘history’ is seriously problematic when we dig out for a past tradition of homoerotic love and desire. Hoshang Merchant through an examination of texts films poetry attempts to analyse and crack the codes of sexual (mis)conduct in contemporary India giving short histories of the fate of several gay writers and explaining the difficulties of ‘coming out’. | Forbidden Sex Forbidden Texts New India's Gay Poets

Sin and Forgiveness New Responses in a Changing World

Originally published in 2003. Western attitudes to crime were in the past rooted in concepts of sin and therefore of hopes for redemption and forgiveness. So what happens - to offenders and society as a whole - in a world where people no longer talk of sin but of evil. If hopes of redemption go too will revenge take the place of forgiveness? Kay Carmichael explores these dilemmas in this topical and provocative book. She traces the stories of Myra Hindley Mary Bell Sarah Payne James Bulger and his killers comparing public responses to such crimes in various Western countries. Art and literature are examined for the light they throw on the evolution of our ideas about sin and forgiveness - from Rembrandt to Nathaniel Hawthorne Samuel Becket Dali and writings inspired by the Holocaust. Turning to our own day Carmichael discusses the emergence of structural sins or 'iniquities' in which we may all find ourselves involved: poverty slavery violence and war are her themes. Her analysis leaves her sceptical about many contemporary appeals for forgiveness but hopeful about ideas of restorative justice. | Sin and Forgiveness New Responses in a Changing World

Shakespeare's Erotic Mythology and Ovidian Renaissance Culture

Taking cross-disciplinary and comparative approaches to the volume’s subject this exciting collection of essays offers a reassessment of Shakespeare’s erotic and Ovidian mythology within classical and continental aesthetic contexts. Through extensive examination of mythological visual and textual material scholars explore the transmission and reinvention of Ovidian eroticism in Shakespeare’s plays to show how early modern artists and audiences collectively engaged in redefining ways of thinking pleasure. Within the collection’s broad-ranging investigation of erotic mythology in Renaissance culture each chapter analyses specific instances of textual and pictorial transmission reception and adaptation. Through various critical strategies contributors trace Shakespeare’s use of erotic material to map out the politics and aesthetics of pleasure unravelling the ways in which mythology informs artistic creation. Received acceptions of neo-platonic love and the Petrarchan tensions of unattainable love are revisited with a focus on parodic and darker strains of erotic desire such as Priapic and Dionysian energies lustful fantasy and violent eros. The dynamics of interacting tales is explored through their structural ability to adapt to the stage. Myth in Renaissance culture ultimately emerges not merely as near-inexhaustible source material for the Elizabethan and Jacobean arts but as a creative process in and of itself. | Shakespeare's Erotic Mythology and Ovidian Renaissance Culture

Soulmates Resurrecting Eve

In Soulmates: Resurrecting Eve Juliana Geran Pilon argues for a return to an egalitarian view of men and women found in the original Genesis narrative as reflected through Judaism Christianity and Islam. In each of these Abrahamic traditions it was understood that man and woman were created to be soulmates in God's image equal despite their different functions within society. Pilon writes that this original message has gradually been distorted with disastrous effect. Any hope for an ennobling human community begins by resurrecting Eve as an equal partner to Adam. The work examines the Biblical creation narrative comparing it to Greek and other ancient mythologies. Pilon explains how the disturbing association of woman with sin and death led to Eve's demise as Adam's equal. The final section of the work deals with the Goddess myth love and marriage in early religious narratives and modern man's search for his soul no less than for a soulmate. The book at its core is a meditation on the relationship between men and women but also among human beings. The resurrection of Eve is indispensable to attaining a true appreciation of love and faith. Pilon uses religious texts expert commentary and various works of fiction poetry and psychology to make her argument come alive. The work is strengthened by the writing style alternately poetic and humorous and a clear and illuminating progression of ideas. Its emphasis on reconciliation and understanding and its post-feminist outlook will find a receptive audience. | Soulmates Resurrecting Eve

Growing Through the Erotic Transference An Analysand's Journey

The book offers an in-depth case study of the erotic transference experienced by a female analysand with her male analyst exploring how the shifting phases of erotic transference help the analysand to understand rediscover and redefine herself with transformative growth. The first half of the book tells the story of the analysis which is richly imbued with the erotic from the beginning. It describes the complexity of the relationship between analyst and analysand and how the patient is able to grow through experiencing analysing and progressing through the erotic transference. The second half of the book consists of five reflections highlighting relative blind spots in the current thinking on the erotic transference and countertransference. The author explores the dynamics of power potency and erotic turn-on between male analyst and female analysand and considers the implications for the erotic transference when the patient is a sexual abuse survivor. She also explores the nature of ‘transference love’ itself: whether it is ‘real love’ and how both members of the dyad can surrender to it enough to grow while not losing their bearings. The final reflection considers the role of the patient’s voice in the psychoanalytic literature and argues the need for more of such accounts to enrich our understanding of this vital area. Writing as the patient the author is able to share a remarkable frank and revealing glimpse into their personal experience of analysis making this book essential reading for psychoanalysts psychotherapists and anyone interested in understanding analysis in more depth. | Growing Through the Erotic Transference An Analysand's Journey

Beyond Doer and Done to Recognition Theory Intersubjectivity and the Third

In Beyond Doer and Done To Jessica Benjamin author of the path-breaking Bonds of Love expands her theory of mutual recognition and its breakdown into the complementarity of doer and done to. Her innovative theory charts the growth of the Third in early development through the movement between recognition and breakdown and shows how it parallels the enactments in the psychoanalytic relationship. Benjamin’s recognition theory illuminates the radical potential of acknowledgment in healing both individual and social trauma in creating relational repair in the transformational space of thirdness. Benjamin’s unique formulations of intersubjectivity make essential reading for both psychoanalytic therapists and theorists in the humanities and social sciences. | Beyond Doer and Done to Recognition Theory Intersubjectivity and the Third

IoT Benefits and Growth Opportunities for the Telecom Industry Key Technology Drivers for Companies

This critical and forward-looking book features: An assessment of the impact of Internet of Things (IoT) on the telecom industry’s revenue streams IoT-based business models in the telecom industry A PESTLE (political economic socio-cultural technological legal and environmental) analysis of the industry in relation to IoT Key technological drivers. It also features a case study of Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE) Inc. which highlights IoT-based business models in the industry. The study reveals that telecom operators have started implementing IoT projects however true revenue streams are yet to materialize. Ten IoT-based business models have been identified at BCE Inc. The book points out that operators do leverage existing infrastructure in terms of broadband fiber and mobile connectivity in part and resort to partnerships and acquisitions to acquire much-needed knowledge technology and smart devices. Concerning the effect of IoT on the telecoms’ revenue streams it was revealed that new entrants who are not necessarily in the telecom industry have impacted the old players’ revenue streams. OTT services like YouTube WhatsApp IPTV Netflix are the biggest culprits. Seven key technological drivers for IoT have been identified and include widespread wireless connectivity the availability and affordability of microcontrollers sensors and actuators the decreasing cost of bandwidth the recent implementation of IPv6 and the ongoing development of 5G network as well as the use of cloud computing and analytics. Finally the PESTLE analysis of the industry shows that the lack of a comprehensive political and regulatory framework still slows down IoT deployment. Interoperability security and privacy concerns are other constraints. Conversely general economic conditions in most developed and developing economies are favorable to the advancement of IoT technology. Governments are willing to subsidize R&D and have partnered with the private sector to speed up the roll-out process. | IoT Benefits and Growth Opportunities for the Telecom Industry Key Technology Drivers for Companies

Georgian Houses for All

First published in 1978 Georgian Houses for All describes how little Gregorian houses came into being and how the original inhabitants used them. Gregorian houses at their smallest and simplest can be seen everywhere in the British Isles – detached semi-detached and joined together in terraces. There are probably still over a million of them built during a period of 130 years without the direct aid of architects. John Woodforde points out that an instinctive wish for a symmetrical front seems to be shown by young children’s drawings of houses these being generally balanced and orderly. The Georgians’ love of symmetry marked in their way of hanging pictures was part of a desire for private order amongst public disorder a desire to have one small sphere in which nature was fully controlled. John Woodforde reminds us that in the present-day return to terrace-house building the Georgian version remains a valuable guide. The book will be of interest to students of architecture urban planning and history.

Music and Gender in English Renaissance Drama

This book offers a survey of how female and male characters in English Renaissance theatre participated and interacted in musical activities both inside and outside the contemporary societal decorum. Wong’s analysis broadens our understanding of the general theatrical representation of music or musical dramaturgy and complicates the current discussion of musical portrayal and construction of gender during this period. Wong discusses dramaturgical meanings of music and its association with gender love and erotomania in Renaissance plays. The negotiation between the dichotomous qualities of the heavenly and the demonic finds extensive application in recent studies of music in early modern English plays. However while ideological dualities identified in music in traditional Renaissance thinking may seem unequivocal various musical representations of characters and situations in early modern drama would prove otherwise. Wong building upon the conventional model of binarism explores how playwrights created their musical characters and scenarios according to the received cultural use and perception of music and at the same time experimented with the multivalent meanings and significance embodied in theatrical music. | Music and Gender in English Renaissance Drama

The Klein Tradition Lines of Development—-Evolution of Theory and Practice over the Decades

Melanie Klein's extension of Freud's ideas - in particular her explorations into the world of the infant and her emphasis on the complex interactions between the infant's internal world of powerful primitive emotions of love and hate and the mothering that the infant receives - were greeted with skepticism but are now widely accepted as providing an invaluable way of understanding human cognitive and emotional development. Klein's insights shed light on persecuted states guilt the drive to create and to repair; they also provide the clinician with a theory of technique. Klein's work has inspired the work of psychoanalysts around the world. Her concept of projective identification with its implications for the understanding of countertransference made a significant impact on her followers and on psychoanalysts in other countries and from other schools of thought. Further exploration of these ideas has led to greater understanding of how change occurs in psychoanalysis and has inspired a large literature with a particular focus on technique. | The Klein Tradition Lines of Development—-Evolution of Theory and Practice over the Decades
