Commentaries on the Work of Michael Eigen Oblivion and Wisdom Madness and Music

Commentaries on the Work of Michael Eigen Oblivion and Wisdom Madness and Music

Through exploration of Eigen’s two key texts The Psychotic Core and Emotional Storm the author addresses universal human concerns of madness and the difficulties of our emotional life.

Bagai follows threads of several key themes from psychoanalysis philosophy literature religious thought and the humanities and chapters include discussion of relevant theory from Freud Jung Klein Winnicott Bion Buber and Levinas among others. Rather than a comprehensive or systematic exegesis of Eigen's work Bagai’s commentary expands nodal aspects illuminating and probing seminal themes and ideas.

Democratic Political Tragedy in the Postcolony The Tragedy of Postcoloniality in Michael Manley’s Jamaica and Nelson Mandela’s South Africa

Democratic Political Tragedy in the Postcolony The Tragedy of Postcoloniality in Michael Manley’s Jamaica and Nelson Mandela’s South Africa

A ground-breaking work in Africana political thought that links the plight of progressive political endeavors in Africa with those in the Diaspora and beyond Democratic Tragedy in the Postcolony engages with two of the defining political sagas of the postcolonial era. The book presents Michael Manley of Jamaica and Nelson Mandela of South Africa as tragic political leaders at the helm of popular democratic projects that run aground in the face of the constraints that a subordinate position in the global economy presents for such endeavors. Jamaica’s experiment with democratic socialism as an alternative path to development at the height of the cold war is considered alongside post-Apartheid South Africa’s search for a development model consistent with the demand for civic empowerment and equitable distribution of social goods in the aftermath of Apartheid. Democratic Political Tragedy in the Postcolony theorizes the defining tragic impasse and the telling vacillations by which the postcolonies in question are brought to the neoliberal catastrophes that currently prevail. | Democratic Political Tragedy in the Postcolony The Tragedy of Postcoloniality in Michael Manley’s Jamaica and Nelson Mandela’s South Africa

Michael Costa: England's First Conductor The Revolution in Musical Performance in England 1830-1880

Michael Costa: England's First Conductor The Revolution in Musical Performance in England 1830-1880

Among the major changes that swept through the music industry during the mid-nineteenth century one that has received little attention is how musical performances were managed and directed. Yet this was arguably the most radical change of all: from a loose control shared between the violin-leader musical director and maestro al cembalo to a system of tight and unified control under a professional conductor-manager. This process brought with it not only baton conducting in its modern form but also higher standards of training and discipline a new orchestral lay-out and a more focused rehearsal regime. The resulting rise in standards of performance was arguably the greatest achievement of English music in the otherwise rather barren mid-Victorian period. The key figure in this process was Michael Costa who built for himself unprecedented contractual powers and used his awesome personal authority to impose reform on the three main institutions of mid-Victorian music: the opera houses the Philharmonic and the Sacred Harmonic Society. He was a central figure in the battles between the two rival opera houses between the Philharmonic and the New Philharmonic and between the venerable Ancient Concerts and the mass festival events of the Sacred Harmonic Society. Costa’s uniquely powerful position in the operatic symphonic and choral world and the rapidity with which he was forgotten after his death provide a fascinating insight into the politics and changing aesthetics of the Victorian musical world. | Michael Costa: England's First Conductor The Revolution in Musical Performance in England 1830-1880

An Analysis of Michael E. Porter's Competitive Strategy Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors

An Analysis of Michael E. Porter's Competitive Strategy Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors

Michael E. Porter’s 1980 book Competitive Strategy is a fine example of critical thinking skills in action. Porter used his strong evaluative skills to overturn much of the accepted wisdom in the world of business. By exploring the strengths and weaknesses of the accepted argument that the best policy for firms to become more successful was to focus on expanding their market share he was able to establish that the credibility of the argument was flawed. Porter did not believe such growth was the only way for a company to be successful and provided compelling arguments as to why this was not the case. His book shows how industries can be fragmented with different firms serving different parts of the market (the low-price mass market and the expensive high-end market in clothing for example) and examines strategies that businesses can follow in emerging mature and declining markets. If printing is in decline for example there may still be a market in this industry for high-end goods and services such as luxury craft bookbinding. Porter also made excellent use of the critical thinking skill of analysis in writing Competitive Strategy. His advice that executives should analyze the five forces that mold the environment in which they compete – new entrants substitute products buyers suppliers and industry rivals – focused heavily on defining the relationships between these disparate factors and urged readers to check the assumptions of their arguments. Porter avoided technical jargon and wrote in a straightforward way to help readers see that his evaluation of the problem was strong. Competitive Strategy went on to be a highly influential work in the world of business strategy. | An Analysis of Michael E. Porter's Competitive Strategy Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors

Taking Education Really Seriously Four Years Hard Labour

Taking Education Really Seriously Four Years Hard Labour

Michael Fielding looks at what the Labour Government has achieved in the last four years with its policy of 'education education education'. There has been widespread disappointment in New Labour's education policies which on the whole have not steered too far wide of those put in place by Margaret Thatcher including issues of marketisation testing and performativity. Michael Fielding has called on the key policy thinkers in education to offer their opinions on what has happened in education over the first three to four years of the New Labour Government. Education policy is a controversial subject and with a General Election expected within the next few months this book will be read widely by people within education politicians and journalists and by others anxious to get to facts and avoid the spin. The subject matter and the presence of so many high profile educationalists make this an essential read. | Taking Education Really Seriously Four Years Hard Labour
