Men Masculinities and Intermarriage in Ezra 9-10

Men Masculinities and Intermarriage in Ezra 9-10

Offering a reading of the intermarriage debate and expulsion of the foreign women in Ezra 9-10 this book engages with the production and performance of masculinities in this biblical text shifting the focus away from the 'foreign women' to the men who are the primary actors in this work. This approach addresses the diversity of masculinities and the ways in which they are implicated in the production of power relations in the text. It explores the ‘feminized’ masculinity of the peoples-of-the-lands the unstable masculinity of the golah Ezra’s performance of penitential masculinity and the rehabilitation of divine masculinity. The rejection of the marriages and the call for the expulsion of the women and children are addressed as sites on which masculinities and power relations are configured. In doing so this book sheds light on how women and the traits and performances culturally ascribed to women femininity and inferior masculinities are appropriated to produce masculinities and negotiate power relations between men. It posits that the debate in Ezra 9-10 is not ultimately about the women themselves but about bringing the masculinities bodies and practices of dissenting men under the ‘management’ of those who wield the Torah in the narrative world of the text. Men Masculinities and Intermarriage in Ezra-9-10 is of interest for scholars and students working on the Book of Ezra specifically as well as the Hebrew Bible and its world more broadly. It is also a valuable study for those working on masculinities and gender in the biblical world and ancient Near East. | Men Masculinities and Intermarriage in Ezra 9-10

Melanie Klein The Basics

Melanie Klein The Basics

Melanie Klein: The Basics provides an accessible and concise introduction to the life and work of Melanie Klein whose discoveries advanced those of Freud and other analysts deepening our insight into the unconscious domain of psychology in human beings. Klein began her work by developing a method of psychoanalysis for children who suffer from anxiety and other often unrecognised conflicts which enabled understanding of those crucial early steps in the development of human mind and identity. Although she initiated one strand of clinical and theoretical developments many of her discoveries are well-regarded by other schools of psychoanalysis. The book contains four parts as well as further reading suggestions and a helpful glossary of key terms. Part I introduces Melanie Klein in the context of her life her early interest in psychoanalysis and her first discoveries; Part II takes up the development of her technique of child analysis and discusses the ways in which her insights and conclusions in this area influenced the technique of adult analysis and the more general understanding of the human mind; Part III focuses on further scientific and clinical developments in psychoanalytic technique – especially those referring to the understanding and treatment of serious emotional disturbance e. g. psychosis or affective disorders; Part IV focuses on contemporary developments in Kleinian and post-Kleinian psychoanalysis considering clinical cultural and socio-political applications. Each chapter poses a basic question at the outset provides an account of how Klein faced this question and worked with it to develop her ideas and ends by posing a follow up question to be addressed in the subsequent chapter. This book will greatly appeal to readers from any field seeking a clear and concise introduction to Melanie Klein. It will also interest researchers and professionals working within the field of psychoanalysis seeking a succinct overview of Melanie Klein’s contribution. | Melanie Klein The Basics

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

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

The Oedipus Complex Today Clinical Implications

The Oedipus Complex Today Clinical Implications

A collection of papers focusing on the Kleinian conception of the Oedipus complex how this is now understood and what effect it has had on clinical practice. The papers by the authors which form the greater part of The Oedipus Complex Today were originally given at the Melanie Klein Conference on the Oedipus Complex in September 1987 at University College London. The conference jointly organized by Professor J. Sandler of the Psychoanalysis Unit at University College and Mrs. Ruth Riesenberg-Malcolm on behalf of the Melanie Klein Trust was considered such a successful statement of modern Kleinian views on the subject that the Trust has decided to present the papers in book form together with an expanded version of the introduction by Dr Hanna Segal and also a reprint of Melanie Klein's 1945 paper 'The Oedipus Complex in the Light of Early Anxieties'. The three papers writes Dr Segal 'are based on central concepts first put forward by Mrs Klein. | The Oedipus Complex Today Clinical Implications

The Theory of Everything Quantum and Relativity is everywhere – A Fermat Universe

The Theory of Everything Quantum and Relativity is everywhere – A Fermat Universe

The book unifies quantum theory and the general theory of relativity. As an unsolved problem for about 100 years and influencing so many fields this is probably of some importance to the scientific community. Examples like Higgs field limit to classical Dirac and Klein–Gordon or Schrödinger cases quantized Schwarzschild Kerr Kerr–Newman objects and the photon are considered for illustration. An interesting explanation for the asymmetry of matter and antimatter in the early universe was found while quantizing the Schwarzschild metric. | The Theory of Everything Quantum and Relativity is everywhere – A Fermat Universe
