Byron's Don Juan

Byron's Don Juan

First published in 1985. What sort of poem is Don Juan and how does it maintain its momentum through its long and often struggling narrative? These are the questions that Bernard Beatty proposes in this subtle and elegant discussion of Byron’s masterwork. The legend of Don Juan was entrenched in European literature and other arts long before it came under Byron’s hands yet Byron’s treatment of the story is often almost unrecognisably far from its forebears. Beatty indicates how deeply Byron has assimilated his predecessors in order to produce his own work. The sustained argument of this book raises questions of interest not only to students of Byron but of comedy in general as well as of the place of religious motifs in apparently secularised modes. | Byron's Don Juan

Don Juan Mescalito and Modern Magic The Mythology of Inner Space

Don Juan Mescalito and Modern Magic The Mythology of Inner Space

First published in 1978 Don Juan Mescalito and Modern Magic begins with an analysis of the Castaneda material from the viewpoint of its inherently magical content. The author examines the symbiotic gestures the magical actions and the mind-altering techniques employed by the brujo Don Juan and then goes on to draw comparisons with two other schools of thought: the psychedelic development of the 1960s and the Western Magical Tradition. The essential aim throughout is to show that there is a basically Western shamanism which uses Western symbols and is easily accessible. The shamanistic practices of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn are examined in this context. Considerable emphasis is also placed on mythological aspects associated with out-of-the-body experiences and their relevance to both the Don Juan Mescalito imagery and the Qabalistic and Tarot symbols found in Western Magic. This book will be of interest to students of religion history and literature. | Don Juan Mescalito and Modern Magic The Mythology of Inner Space

The Original Portrayal of Mozart’s Don Giovanni

The Original Portrayal of Mozart’s Don Giovanni

The Original Portrayal of Mozart’s Don Giovanni offers an original reading of Mozart’s and Da Ponte’s opera Don Giovanni using as a lens the portrayal of the title role by its creator the baritone Luigi Bassi (1766–1825). Although Bassi was coached in the role by the composer himself his portrayal has never been studied in depth before and this book presents a large number of new sources (first- and second-hand accounts) which allows us to reconstruct his performance scene by scene. The book confronts Bassi’s portrayal with a study of the opera’s early German reception and performance history demonstrating how Don Giovanni as we know it today was not only created by Mozart Da Ponte and Luigi Bassi but also by the early German adapters translators critics and performers who turned the title character into the arrogant and violent villain we still encounter in most of today’s stage productions. Incorporating discussion of dramaturgical thinking of the late Enlightenment and the difficult moral problems that the opera raises this is an important study for scholars and researchers from opera studies theatre and performance studies music history as well as conductors directors and singers.

Performing for the Don Theaters of Faith in the Trump Era

Performing for the Don Theaters of Faith in the Trump Era

This volume examines the intersection of political power and religion during the presidency of Donald Trump through an examination of performance. This study begins with an examination of white evangelical Christian support for Trump through readings of the 2018 film The Trump Prophecy based on a book of the same name and The Faith of Donald J. Trump a spiritual biography of the former president by veteran Christian reporters David Brody and Scott Lamb. White evangelicals Christianized Trump during his run for office in 2016 and Trump’s ascension to the presidency broke down barriers between church and state in service of dominionistic Christian aims. This exploration then looks at the conservative Catholicism through an exploration of Heroes of the Fourth Turning a finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama by Will Arbery and Rod Dreher’s The Benedict Option. While Trump’s connection to evangelicals is well documented conservative Catholics like Attorney General Bill Barr and Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett took on pivotal roles during the Trump administration demonstrating the significance of conservative Catholicism to his presidency. The author finally examines the cult of Trump on the internet by interrogating the performance of spirituality in pro-Trump conspiracy theories like QAnon. This book will be of great interest not only to theatre and performance studies scholars but also scholars with interests in political and religious studies. | Performing for the Don Theaters of Faith in the Trump Era

Workplace Culture Matters Developing Leaders Who Respect People and Deliver Robust Results

Workplace Culture Matters Developing Leaders Who Respect People and Deliver Robust Results

Written in a novel format this book addresses the challenge of changing a sick culture. Some organizations wake up one day and realize they have become something they never intended. Their employees run scared. There is no innovation only blind obedience. There are warlords within the ranks of management and they fight over turf without considering the best interests of customers their employees or their organization as a whole. At the Charleston SC branch of Copper-Bottom Insurance the wakeup call comes when an employee files a lawsuit against the company and its leaders. The Charleston division Vice President Jack Simmons is put on probation and given an ultimatum: Change the culture! Jack understands the or be fired implication all too well. He scrambles to find help and runs into an old friend Don Spears from Friedman Electronics. With Don’s help Jack begins the journey that will heal his organization. In the course of their first visit Don and his Director of Continuous Improvement Tim Stark help Jack to make an important discovery: Copper-Bottom’s executives are not showing their people respect. Don and Tim point to the following observations as proof. Copper-Bottom leaders are Using top-down command-and-control leadership behaviors rather than recognizing their people as Subject Matter Experts and listening to them Issuing instructions to their people rather than observing then improving performance through coaching Keeping employees in the dark as to the impact their work has on the organization’s mission Unaware of the obstacles in their people’s paths; hence never using the authority of their positions to remove those obstacles Staying in their offices aloof to the difficulties their subordinates face As Don and Tim see it Copper-Bottom’s problems stem from the way its leaders lead. After the executive who precipitated the lawsuit is let go the Friedman team begins the process of teaching Copper-Bottom’s executives that a healthy culture begins at the leadership level. Don Friedman’s General Manager states that cultures change when their leaders change. In short leaders need to initiate the changes in the culture by first demonstrating the desired behavior. So begins the process of reeducating Copper-Bottom’s leaders in the difference between managing and leading. In short order Tim begins to work with Jack’s leadership team while Don takes Jack to Friedman’s Oakland facility. There Jack learns To first concentrate on surrounding himself with the right people The importance of top-down metrics to which leaders first hold themselves accountable Cascading their metrics (KPIs) down through their organization and using a dialog about them as a way of developing relationships of respect Although a long way from complete by the end of Jack’s six-month probation Copper-Bottom has made significant strides and is well on its way to changing its culture. Jack will learn that he is not the only one to appreciate the new developments. | Workplace Culture Matters Developing Leaders Who Respect People and Deliver Robust Results

Interior Portraiture and Masculine Identity in France 1789–1914

Interior Portraiture and Masculine Identity in France 1789–1914

Focusing specifically on portraiture as a genre this volume challenges scholarly assumptions that regard interior spaces as uniquely feminine. Contributors analyze portraits of men in domestic and studio spaces in France during the long nineteenth century; the preponderance of such portraits alone supports the book's premise that the alignment of men with public life is oversimplified and more myth than reality. The volume offers analysis of works by a mix of artists from familiar names such as David Delacroix Courbet Manet Rodin and Matisse to less well-known image makers including Dominique Doncre Constance Mayer Anders Zorn and Lucien-Etienne Melingue. The essays cover a range of media from paintings and prints to photographs and sculpture that allows exploration of the relation between masculinity and interiority across the visual culture of the period. The home and other interior spaces emerge from these studies as rich and complex locations for both masculine self-expression and artistic creativity. Interior Portraiture and Masculine Identity in France 1789-1914 provides a much-needed rethinking of modern masculinity in this period. | Interior Portraiture and Masculine Identity in France 1789–1914

Routledge Handbook of Marxism and Post-Marxism

Routledge Handbook of Marxism and Post-Marxism

In the past two decades Marxism has enjoyed a revitalization as a research program and a growth in its audience.

Transhumanism and Posthumanism in Twenty-First Century Narrative

Transhumanism and Posthumanism in Twenty-First Century Narrative

Transhumanism and Posthumanism in Twenty-First Century Narrative brings together fifteen scholars from five different countries to explore the different ways in which the posthuman has been addressed in contemporary culture and more specifically in key narratives written in the second decade of the 21st century by Dave Eggers William Gibson John Shirley Tom McCarthy Jeff Vandermeer Don DeLillo Margaret Atwood Cixin Liu and Helen Marshall. Some of these works engage in the premises and perils of transhumanism while others explore the qualities of the (post)human in a variety of dystopian futures marked by the planetary influence of human action. From a critical posthumanist perspective that questions anthropocentrism human exceptionalism and the centrality of the ‘human’ subject in the era of the Anthropocene the scholars in this collection analyse the aesthetic choices these authors make to depict the posthuman and its aftereffects.

Sexuality Gender and Nationalism in Caribbean Literature

Sexuality Gender and Nationalism in Caribbean Literature

This book is the first to focus exclusively on issues of gender and sexuality in a range of post-war novels from the Anglophone Caribbean. Concentrating on the 1950s to the mid 1970s it highlights the period's diversity of sexual concerns. New readings of seminal figures like Samuel Selvon and George Lamming are offered in tandem with discussion of innovative lesser-studied authors such as Andrew Salkey Oscar Dathorne and Rosa Guy. Whereas this body of work has tended to be characterised as minimally engaged with sexuality and overly reliant on patriarchal heteronormative frameworks the book takes a different approach. First it unpacks the motivations behind the masculinist bent of much of this writing emphasising the anxieties underlying such assertion. It exposes both the gendered and sexual imperatives of the nationalist project and the destabilising effects of migration on masculine performance. Second it brings to life a range of critically neglected same-sex desires. Framing such longing as both narratively and nationally disruptive it recovers the marginalised erotic relations that challenge fantasies of national cohesion. As a result the book opens up existing mappings of Caribbean fiction. Drawing on queer theory feminism and masculinity studies it highlights the ways in which sex both exceeds and threatens the imagined unity on which the nationalist vision depends. | Sexuality Gender and Nationalism in Caribbean Literature

Jungian Reflections On Grandiosity From Destructive Fantasies to Passions and Purpose

Jungian Reflections On Grandiosity From Destructive Fantasies to Passions and Purpose

In Jungian Reflections on Grandiosity: From Destructive Fantasies to Passions and Purpose Francesco Belviso presents a dual view of grandiosity as a destructive obsession that when approached with curiosity and awareness has the potential of fueling our lives with a sense of purpose while being a positive force in the world. Explaining Jungian psychological concepts in an engaging style the book begins by examining the origins of grandiose fantasies in children and how grandiosity persists well into adulthood in our dreams fantasies and strivings. Exploring its relation to narcissism and delusions the book describes how grandiosity can hijack many areas of our lives—as we chase fame beauty knowledge youth and even morality—often with disastrous consequences. The book’s second half explores how grandiosity can help us identify our passions and callings ending with a discussion on how to pursue them with integrity and courage. Weaving stories from Greek mythology to Dante’s poetry from the heroic lives of Rosa Parks to Captain Sully from fairy tales to our everyday decisions about careers finances selfies and dating and from the lives and nighttime dreams of his patients and his own Belviso invites us to explore the larger-than-life aspirations that stir us all. This book offers ideas and tools to better understand our ambitions challenging us to come to terms with our limitations and find personally meaningful paths forward. Jungian Reflections on Grandiosity will be essential reading for academics and students of Jungian studies as well as analytical psychologists and analysts in practice and in training.

Sound and Aural Media in Postmodern Literature Novel Listening

Sound and Aural Media in Postmodern Literature Novel Listening

This study examines postmodern literature— including works by Kurt Vonnegut William Gaddis Don DeLillo Philip K. Dick Ishmael Reed and Thomas Pynchon —arguing that one of the formal logics of postmodern fiction is heterophonia: a pluralism of sound. The postmodern novel not only bears earwitness to a crucial period in American aural history but it also offers a critique of the American soundscape by rebroadcasting extant technological discourses. Working chronologically through four audio transmission technologies of the twentieth century (the player piano radio television audio and Muzak installations) St. Clair charts the tendency of ever-proliferating audio streams to become increasingly subsumed as background sound. The postmodern novel attends specifically to this background sound warning that inattention to the increasingly complex sonic backdrop allows for ever more sophisticated techniques of aural manipulation—from advertising jingles to mood-altering ambient sound. Building upon interdisciplinary work from the emerging field of sound culture studies this book ultimately contends that a complementary yet seemingly contradictory double logic characterizes the postmodern novel’s engagement with narratives of aural influence. On the one hand such narratives echo and amplify postwar fiction’s media anxiety; on the other hand they allow print fiction to appropriate the techniques of aural media. This dialectical engagement with media aurality—this simultaneous impulse to repudiate and to utilize—is the central mechanism of the heterophonic novel. | Sound and Aural Media in Postmodern Literature Novel Listening

Psychoanalytic Thinking A Dialectical Critique of Contemporary Theory and Practice

Psychoanalytic Thinking A Dialectical Critique of Contemporary Theory and Practice

A video of Don Carveth discussing the book and its subject matter can be accessed using the following web URL: https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=yW7tGq0uEtU Since the classical Freudian and ego psychology paradigms lost their position of dominance in the late 1950s psychoanalysis became a multi-paradigm science with those working in the different frameworks increasingly engaging only with those in the same or related intellectual silos. Beginning with Freud’s theory of human nature and civilization Psychoanalytic Thinking: A Dialectical Critique of Contemporary Theory and Practice proceeds to review and critically evaluate a series of major post-Freudian contributions to psychoanalytic thought. In response to the defects blind spots and biases in Freud’s work Melanie Klein Wilfred Bion Jacques Lacan Erich Fromm Donald Winnicott Heinz Kohut Heinrich Racker Ernest Becker amongst others offered useful correctives and innovations that are nevertheless themselves in need of remediation for their own forms of one-sidedness. Through Carveth’s comparative exploration readers will acquire a sense of what is enduringly valuable in these diverse psychoanalytic contributions as well as exposure to the dialectically deconstructive method of critique that Carveth sees as central to psychoanalytic thinking at its best. Carveth violates the taboo against speaking of the Imaginary Symbolic and the Real unless one is a Lacanian or the paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions unless one is a Kleinian or id ego superego ego-ideal and conscience unless one is a Freudian ego psychologist and so on. Out of dialogue and mutual critique psychoanalysis can over time separate the wheat from the chaff collect the wheat and approach an ever-evolving synthesis. Psychoanalytic Thinking: A Dialectical Critique of Contemporary Theory and Practice will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists and more broadly to readers in philosophy social science and critical social theory. | Psychoanalytic Thinking A Dialectical Critique of Contemporary Theory and Practice
