Between Art Practice and Psychoanalysis Mid-Twentieth Century Anton Ehrenzweig in Context

Between Art Practice and Psychoanalysis Mid-Twentieth Century Anton Ehrenzweig in Context

The work of mid-twentieth century art theorist Anton Ehrenzweig is explored in this original and timely study. An analysis of the dynamic and invigorating intellectual influences institutional framework and legacy of his work Between Art Practice and Psychoanalysis reveals the context within which Ehrenzweig worked how that influenced him and those artists with whom he worked closely. Beth Williamson looks to the writing of Melanie Klein Marion Milner Adrian Stokes and others to elaborate Ehrenzweig’s theory of art a theory that extends beyond the visual arts to music. In this first full-length study on his work including an inventory of his library previously unexamined archival material and unseen artworks sit at the heart of a book that examines Ehrenzweig’s working relationships with important British artists such as Bridget Riley Eduardo Paolozzi and other members of the Independent Group in London in the 1950s and 1960s. In Ehrenzweig’s second book The Hidden Order of Art (1967) his thinking on Jackson Pollock is important too. It was this book that inspired American artists Robert Smithson and Robert Morris when they deployed his concept of ’dedifferentiation’. Here Williamson offers new readings of process art c. 1970 showing how Ehrenzweig’s aesthetic retains relevance beyond the immediate post-war era. | Between Art Practice and Psychoanalysis Mid-Twentieth Century Anton Ehrenzweig in Context

Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

This book explores issues related to people policy and places of teaching and learning resulting from the trend towards dual and multi-mode provision of distance education. It explores reasons for the trend as well as some of the opportunities and challenges which may arise. In many developing countries demand for higher education provision outstrips the supply of full-time places; while in many developed countries the cost of full-time provision means that distance and online provision may be more accessible than full-time provision. At the same time the growing use of online learning platforms has generally resulted in more flexible forms of provision. Consequently an increasing number of higher education institutions now offer dual (contact and distance or online) or multi-mode (contact and distance and online and other) forms of provision. This volume helps to navigate this changing distance education landscape. The chapters in this book were originally published in Distance Education. | Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

Lectures on Technique by Melanie Klein Edited with Critical Review by John Steiner

Lectures on Technique by Melanie Klein Edited with Critical Review by John Steiner

Lectures on Technique by Melanie Klein is based on a series of six lectures given by Melanie Klein to students at the British Psychoanalytical Society in 1936 and repeated several times in subsequent years. They were discovered in the Melanie Klein Archives housed in the Wellcome Medical Library and have been previously described by Elizabeth Spillius but never before published. In this book John Steiner explores what characterises Kleinian Technique how her technique changed over the years what she saw as the correct psychoanalytical attitude and how psychoanalytic technique has changed since Klein’s death. Melanie Klein who moved to England from Berlin in 1927 became one of the leading psychoanalysts following Freud and making an important contribution in the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. A pioneer in child analysis her work remains widely influential throughout the world. This book consists of the full text of the original six lectures accompanied by a critical analysis from John Steiner who is known internationally as a leading Kleinian analyst and writer. Steiner demonstrates the importance of the lectures in understanding Klein’s work and their continued relevance for contemporary psychoanalysis. In addition also published for the first time this book includes annotated transcripts of a preserved recording of a seminar Klein held in 1958 with young analysts of the British Psychoanalytical Society. In this seminar close to the end of her life many of the points made in the earlier lectures were elaborated upon and brought further up to date in light of developments in Klein’s thinking during the intervening years. Featuring rare previously unpublished material Lectures on Technique by Melanie Klein provides a new and significant contribution to understanding of the Kleinian paradigm. It will be essential reading for all psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists interested in and influenced by Klein’s work and legacy. | Lectures on Technique by Melanie Klein Edited with Critical Review by John Steiner

Discipline by Mary Brunton

Discipline by Mary Brunton

Discipline the second novel by the Scottish writer Mary Brunton (1778-1818) was published in 1814. While less well known than its predecessor Self-Control (1811) it is nonetheless equally deserving of a central place in the canon of Romantic-era fiction. A wide-ranging novel it shares many themes with contemporary fiction such as women’s difficulties in earning money and the horror of being falsely imprisoned in an insane asylum. However it is Discipline’s innovative attempt at psychological realism that sets it apart from its contemporaries. Through the moral growth of its heroine Ellen Percy Discipline insists on women’s self-determination and their ability to become rational agents in a world that treats them as objects merely of desire or contempt. This edition is edited by Olivia Murphy who has added careful editorial notes and an insightful new introduction to the text. | Discipline by Mary Brunton

Reactions to the Law by Minority Religions

Reactions to the Law by Minority Religions

Much has been written about the law as it affects new and minority religions but relatively little has been written about how such religions react to the law. This book presents a wide variety of responses by minority religions to the legal environments within which they find themselves. An international panel of experts offer examples from North America Europe and Asia demonstrating how religions with relatively little status may resort to violence or passive acceptance of the law; how they may change their beliefs or practices in order to be in compliance with the law; or how they may resort to the law itself in order to change their legal standing sometimes by forging alliances with those with more power or authority to achieve their goals. The volume concludes by applying theoretical insights from sociological studies of law religion and social movements to the variety of responses. The first systematic collection focussing on how minority religions respond to efforts at social control by various governmental agents this book provides a vital reference for scholars of religion and the law new religious movements minority religions and the sociology of religion. | Reactions to the Law by Minority Religions
