Celebrity Mad Why Otherwise Intelligent People Worship Fame

Celebrity Mad Why Otherwise Intelligent People Worship Fame

This short book by Professor Brett Kahr provides a psychoanalytic understanding of fame and celebrity in the early twenty-first century building upon the bedrock foundations of the Freudian corpus. The book is divided into six chapters. Chapter One explores the psychology of the celebrity questioning narcissistic and exhibitionist psychopathology while Chapter Two examines the psychological state of those of who revel in the fame of others and in celebrity culture more broadly and offers a discussion of the Celebrity Worship Syndrome. Chapter Three provides a very brief history of the concept of celebrity itself arguing that contrary to popular opinion the culture of celebrification cannot be blamed on twenty-first-century media moguls but rather that such a preoccupation with famous personalities can be traced back to ancient times and demonstrates the need to broaden our analysis to include the role of deep unconscious psychological forces. In Chapter Four Kahr reviews some important theoretical concepts advanced by Freud and Winnicott which provide an important foundation for the psychoanalytic study of fame while Chapter Five provides a more comprehensive theory of the unconscious psychological roots of the need to worship fame and to seek it drawing upon a multitude of sources ranging from psychoanalytic theory and developmental psychological research to film archaeology and perhaps surprisingly the history of infanticide. The book concludes in Chapter Six by studying the psychodynamics of celebrity and fame arguing that being recognised by one’s family and friends in the intimate context of home life may well be the very best way to become a celebrity. Celebrity Mad outlines a psychoanalytic theory of the roots of our obsession with fame. It will be of great interest to psychoanalytic practitioners and researchers as well as to readers interested in the psychology of fame. | Celebrity Mad Why Otherwise Intelligent People Worship Fame

Pioneering African-American Women in the Advertising Business Biographies of MAD Black WOMEN

Pioneering African-American Women in the Advertising Business Biographies of MAD Black WOMEN

Much has been written about the men and women who shaped the field of advertising some of whom became legends in the industry. However the contributions of African-American women to the advertising business have largely been omitted from these accounts. Yet evidence reveals that some trailblazing African-American women who launched their careers during the 1960s Mad Men era went on to achieve prominent careers. This unique book chronicles the nature and significance of these women’s accomplishments examines the opportunities and challenges they experienced and explores how they coped with the extensive inequities common in the advertising profession. Using a biographical narrative approach this book examines the careers of these important African-American women who not only achieved managerial positions in major mainstream advertising agencies but also established successful agencies bearing their own names. Based on their words and memories this study reveals experiences which are intriguing triumphant bittersweet and sometimes tragic. These women’s stories comprise a vital part of the historical narrative on women and African-Americans in advertising and will be instructive not only to scholars of advertising and marketing history but to future generations of advertising professionals. | Pioneering African-American Women in the Advertising Business Biographies of MAD Black WOMEN

Madness Ideas About Insanity

Madness Ideas About Insanity

This book is an introduction to the uncertainties and incongruities about madness. It is aimed at all of those who are curious about this subject whether out of general inquisitiveness or because it is part of a formal course of study. Using case studies of real people in order to explain humanise and bring to life the subject Peter Morrall critically analyses how madness has been and is understood or perhaps misunderstood. By contrasting past and present people who have been perceived as mad and/or perceive themselves as mad Morrall presents core ideas about madness and critiques their would-be robustness in explaining the specific madness of the person in question as well as their general relevance to madness overall. Unlike many of its contemporaries the book does not adhere to a perspective but rather remains skeptical about the ideas of all who profess to understandmadness whether these emanate from sociology psychology psychotherapy anthropology ‘anti’ psychiatry or the biological sciences of contemporary‘scientific-psychiatry’. This book will inform and stimulate the thinking of the reader and challenge those with preconceived ideas about madness. | Madness Ideas About Insanity

Bruegel and the Creative Process 1559-1563

Bruegel and the Creative Process 1559-1563

The art Bruegel produced between 1559 and 1563 presents a rare opportunity to investigate a concentrated period of productivity by one of the world's greatest artists. In this brief period Bruegel produced some of his most original works-the first pictorial collection of contemporary customs in Carnival and Lent the first painting with children's activities as its subject in Children's Games the first large-scale painting of a proverb collection the unique and enigmatic Dulle Griet (Mad Meg) and the extraordinary Triumph of Death his disturbing vision of men and women fighting off the onslaught of death. In this comprehensive study Margaret A. Sullivan accounts for this burst of creativity its intensity innovation and brevity by taking all aspects of the creative process into consideration-from the technical demands of picture-making to the constraints imposed by the dangerous religious and political situation. | Bruegel and the Creative Process 1559-1563

Earmarked for Collision A Highly Biased Tour of Collage Animation

Earmarked for Collision A Highly Biased Tour of Collage Animation

Collage art and film date back to the early 20th century (the earliest collages have roots in 12th-century Japan). It was rooted in the age of consumerism where artists addressed an array of political and social issues by creating a carefully crafted collision of pre-existing images and sounds to generate new meanings and commentaries on the surrounding world. Collage has also pushed the boundaries of animation by incorporating other artistic forms (e. g. photography live action experimental cinema literature found sound) while exploring an array of social cultural and political issues. In Earmarked for Collision award-winning writer Chris Robinson (The Animation Pimp Mad Eyed Misfits Unsung Heroes of Animation) takes us on a tour of the history of collage animation cataloguing the collage works of notable artists like Larry Jordan Harry Smith Stan Vanderbeek Terry Gilliam Janie Geiser Martha Colburn Lewis Klahr Run Wrake Lei Lei Kelly Sears Jodie Mack and many many others. | Earmarked for Collision A Highly Biased Tour of Collage Animation

Television and the Embodied Viewer Affect and Meaning in the Digital Age

Television and the Embodied Viewer Affect and Meaning in the Digital Age

Television and the Embodied Viewer appraises the medium’s capacity to evoke sensations and bodily feelings in the viewer. Presenting a fresh approach to television studies the book examines the sensate force of onscreen bodies and illustrates how TV’s multisensory appeal builds viewer empathy and animates meaning. The book draws extensively upon interpretive viewpoints in the humanities to shed light on a range of provocative television works notably The Americans Mad Men Little Women: LA and Six Feet Under with emphasis on the dramatization of gender disability sex childbearing and death. Advocating a biocultural approach that takes into account the mind sciences Cassidy argues that interpretive meanings shaped within today’s dynamic cultural matrix are amplified by somatic experience. At a time when questions of embodiment and affect are crossing disciplines this book will appeal to scholars and students working in the fields of television film and media studies both in the humanities and cognitive traditions. | Television and the Embodied Viewer Affect and Meaning in the Digital Age

Critical Flicker Fusion Psychoanalysis at the Movies

Critical Flicker Fusion Psychoanalysis at the Movies

The premise of this book is that films like other works of the imagination may be elucidated by applying methods derived from psychoanalysis and that doing so will result in a deeper and richer appreciation of the film's meaning. The book explores a number of feature films that lend themselves particularly well to this process. Both in his introduction and throughout the text the author comments on the method and discusses continuities similarities and differences among the films. The book is structured according to the central themes of the films including time and death love and lust secrets and human identity. Some of the films are relevant to more than one of these thematic elements. The introductory essay explores the themes their representation in the films and the ways in which they may be elucidated by a psychoanalytically informed critique. Brief paragraphs between the sections of the book facilitate the transitions. In an appendix there are three essays titled 'Mise-en-scene ' 'Whatever Flames Upon the Night ' and 'Mad Doctors.

Food Safety Standards in International Trade The Case of the EU and the COMESA

Food Safety Standards in International Trade The Case of the EU and the COMESA

Food safety has become a major concern for consumers in the developed world and Europe in particular. This has been highlighted by the recent spate of food scares ranging from the BSE (mad cow) crisis to Chinese melamine contamination of baby formula. To ensure food safety throughout Europe stringent food safety standards have been put in place ‘from farm to fork’. At the same time poor African countries in the COMESA rely on their food exports to the European market to achieve their development goals yet have difficulty meeting the EU food safety standards. This book examines the impact of EU food safety standards on food imports from COMESA countries. It also critically examines both EU and COMESA food safety standards in light of the WTO SPS Agreement and the jurisprudence of the WTO panels and Appellate Body. The book makes ground-breaking proposals on how the standards divide between the EU and the COMESA can be bridged and discusses the impact of EU food safety standards on food imports from poor African countries. | Food Safety Standards in International Trade The Case of the EU and the COMESA

Dystopia and Economics A Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies

Dystopia and Economics A Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies

Government collapsing? Zombies hunting you down? Everyone you know killed by a global epidemic? Not to worry! Economics holds the keys to survival. Often known as the dismal science it is particularly equipped to reveal order in what seems like chaos. Economists observe human behaviour: what leads us to take action and the subsequent consequences. However the choices made by individuals are not made in isolation; they influence and are influenced by the actions of others. A set of rules even if unwritten guides human behaviour. Foundational economic principles stand firmly in place even when society is breaking down and an understanding of these basic tenets of societies is essential to surviving the end of the world as we know it. In this book the authors draw from popular culture to show economic principles at work in the dystopian societies depicted in The Walking Dead Mad Max: Fury Road The Hunger Games Divergent A Clockwork Orange and Last Man on Earth. In each society its members face resource and social constraints that incentivize particular behaviours and lead to predictable outcomes. How does human behaviour change when resources are severely limited the legal system breaks down or individual freedom is stifled? The examples presented here shed an eerie light on the principles that guide our actions every day. Dystopia and Economics: A Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies provides a user-friendly introduction to economics suitable for a general audience as well as devoted students of the discipline. | Dystopia and Economics A Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies

Caligula The Abuse of Power

Caligula The Abuse of Power

The Roman Empire has always exercised a considerable fascination. Among its numerous colourful personalities no emperor with the possible exception of Nero has attracted more popular attention than Caligula who has a reputation whether deserved or not as the quintessential mad and dangerous ruler. The first edition of this book established itself as the standard study of Caligula. It remains the only full length and detailed scholarly analysis in English of this emperor’s reign and has been translated into a number of languages. But the study of Classical antiquity is not a static phenomenon and scholars are engaged in a persistent quest to upgrade our knowledge and thinking about the ancient past. In the thirty years since publication of the original Caligula there have been considerable scholarly advances in what we know about this emperor specifically and also about the general period in which he functioned while newly discovered inscriptions and major archaeological projects have necessitated a rethinking of many of our earlier conclusions about early imperial history. This new edition constitutes a major revision and in places a major rewriting of the original text. Maintaining the reader-friendly structure and organisation of its predecessor it embodies the latest discoveries and the latest thinking seeking to make more lucid and comprehensible those aspects of the reign that are particularly daunting to the non-specialist. Like the original this revised Caligula is intended to satisfy the requirements of the scholarly community while appealing to a broad and general readership. | Caligula The Abuse of Power

Women Monstrosity and Horror Film Gynaehorror

Women Monstrosity and Horror Film Gynaehorror

Women occupy a privileged place in horror film. Horror is a space of entertainment and excitement of terror and dread and one that relishes the complexities that arise when boundaries – of taste of bodies of reason – are blurred and dismantled. It is also a site of expression and exploration that leverages the narrative and aesthetic horrors of the reproductive the maternal and the sexual to expose the underpinnings of the social political and philosophical othering of women. This book offers an in-depth analysis of women in horror films through an exploration of ‘gynaehorror’: films concerned with all aspects of female reproductive horror from reproductive and sexual organs to virginity pregnancy birth motherhood and finally to menopause. Some of the themes explored include: the intersection of horror monstrosity and sexual difference; the relationships between normative female (hetero)sexuality and the twin figures of the chaste virgin and the voracious vagina dentata; embodiment and subjectivity in horror films about pregnancy and abortion; reproductive technologies monstrosity and ‘mad science’; the discursive construction and interrogation of monstrous motherhood; and the relationships between menopause menstruation hagsploitation and ‘abject barren’ bodies in horror. The book not only offers a feminist interrogation of gynaehorror but also a counter-reading of the gynaehorrific that both accounts for and opens up new spaces of productive radical and subversive monstrosity within a mode of representation and expression that has often been accused of being misogynistic. It therefore makes a unique contribution to the study of women in horror film specifically while also providing new insights in the broader area of popular culture gender and film philosophy. | Women Monstrosity and Horror Film Gynaehorror
