In Search of Nixon A Psychohistorical Inquiry

In Search of Nixon A Psychohistorical Inquiry

Who was the real Richard Nixon and why did he behave the way he did? In this innovative work a distinguished historian trained in psychoanalysis unravels the riddle of Nixon's singularly opaque political personality. Neither a political biography nor a clinical psychoanalysis at the time of its initial publication In Search of Nixon launched a new genre of scholarship; the psycho-historical inquiry. Mazlish offers insight into the subtle interplay between Nixon the man and Nixon the public figure. Why for example did Nixon have such personal difficulties in making decisions? Knowing how the young Nixon learned to cope with the problems of his childhood what can we infer about his unpredictable decisions on Communist China inflation and the Supreme Court? Bruce Mazlish applies psychoanalysis to history in order to understand Nixon's behaviour decisions and political stance. He explains why Nixon characteristically projected personal crises onto the political arena as for example in the famous Checkers speech or in the Haynsworth-Carswell affair. And he examines why conversely political questions such as pacifism abortion and subversion had such a peculiarly personal meaning for him. | In Search of Nixon A Psychohistorical Inquiry

The Search for the Self Volume 4: Selected Writings of Heinz Kohut 1978-1981

The Search for the Self Volume 4: Selected Writings of Heinz Kohut 1978-1981

The re-issuing of the four volumes of the author's writings is a major publishing event for psychoanalysts who are interested in both the theoretical and the therapeutic aspects of psychoanalysis. These volumes contain the author's pre-self psychology essays as well as those he wrote in order to continue to expand on his groundbreaking ideas which he presented in The Analysis of the Self; the Restoration of the Self; and in How Does Analysis Cure? These volumes of The Search for the Self permit the reader to understand not only the above three basic texts of psychoanalytic self psychology more profoundly but also to appreciate Kohut's sustained openness to further changes - to dare to present his self psychology as in continued flux influenced by newly emerging empirical data of actual clinical practice. The current re-issue of the four volumes of The Search for the Self would assure that the younger generation of psychoanalysts would be exposed to a clinical theory that could contribute greatly to solving the therapeutic dilemmas facing psychoanalysis today. This is volume four. | The Search for the Self Volume 4: Selected Writings of Heinz Kohut 1978-1981

Mirrors and Masks The Search for Identity

Mirrors and Masks The Search for Identity

Identity as a concept is as elusive as everyone's sense of his own personal identity. It is connected with appraisals made by oneself and by others. Each person sees himself mirrored in the judgments of others. The masks he presents to the world are fashioned upon his anticipations of judgments. In Mirrors and Masks Anselm Strauss uses the notion of identity to organize materials and thoughts about certain aspects of problems traditionally intriguing to social psychologists. The problems Strauss considers to be intriguing traditionally are those encountered when studying group membership motivation personality development and social interaction. The topics covered include: the basic importance of language for human action and identity; the perpetual indeterminacy of identities in constantly changing social contexts; the symbolic and developmental character of human interaction; the theme of identity as it affects adult behaviqr; relations between generations and their role in personality development; and the symbolic character of membership in groups. By focusing on symbolic behavior with an emphasis on social organization Strauss presents a fruitful systematic perspective from which to view traditional problems of social psychology. He opens up new areas of thought and associates matters that are not ordinarily considered to be related. Strauss believes that psychiatrists* and psychologists underestimate immensely the influence of social organization upon individual behavior and individual structure and that sociologists whose major concern is with social organization should employ some kind of social psychology in their research. Mirrors and Masks shows that the fusion of theoretical approaches benefits the analyses of many scholars. This fascinating work should be read by sociologists anthropologists psychologists and psychiatrists. | Mirrors and Masks The Search for Identity

Celia in Search of a Husband: By a Modern Antique

Celia in Search of a Husband: By a Modern Antique

This ground-breaking nineteenth-century volume is of considerable scholarly interest as an example of a femino-centric popular novel. Celia in Search of a Husband is a high-spirited and entertaining example of an anti-Jacobin novel written at the height of the backlash against female intellectuals during the Napoleonic wars. Despite this hostile climate the author sought to acknowledge the importance of female education and independence whilst at the same time endorsing the traditional Christian teaching that a wife should be subordinate to her husband. Although second wave feminists prioritized the progressive writers with whom they more readily identified more recent scholarship has rightly paid close attention to conservative or moralist writers such as Miss Byron and recognized how influential they were. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary this edition of Celia in Search of a Husband contributes to this scholarship on the literary history of women’s writing and will be a welcome to those with a particularly interest in women’s writing satiric novels and spoofs and Jane Austen. | Celia in Search of a Husband: By a Modern Antique

The Meaning of History

The Meaning of History

In her brilliant new opening essay Banerjee says of Berdyaev he was never more than a curious but unwelcome guest in history. He fearlessly engaged it on the level of ideas while remaining alien to its means and ends gifted with an incurable longing for transcendence. Witness to two world wars Berdyaev observed the destruction of established cultures in the traumatic birth of new systems. Arrested on political suspicion-by Czarist and then by Bolshevik police he died in exile in France in 1948 carrying forth his intellectual work until the end. Berdyaev considered the philosophy of history as a field that laid the foundations of the Russian national consciousness. Its disputes were centered on distinctions between Slavophiles and Westerners East and West. The Meaning of History was an early effort following World War I that attempted to revive this perspective. With the removal of Communism as a ruling system in Russia that nation returned to an elaboration of a religious philosophy of history as the specific mission of Russian thought. This volume thus has contemporary significance. Its sense of the apocalypse which distinguishes Russian from Western thought gives the book its specifically religious character. In order to grasp and oppose the complex phenomenon of social and cultural disintegration Berdyaev shows that human beings must rely upon some internal dialectic. After the debacle of the war the moment arrived to integrate Russian historical experiences into those of a Europe which although torn by schism still claimed to be the descendant of Christendom. The book is remarkable for its powerful stylistic grace and astonishingly contemporary feeling.

Meaning in the Midst of Performance Contradictions of Participation

Meaning in the Midst of Performance Contradictions of Participation

Being an audience participant can be a confusing and contradictory experience. When a performance requires us to do things we are put in the situation of being both actor and spectator of being part of the work of art while also being the audience who receives it and of being both perceiving subject and aesthetic object. This book examines these contradictions – and many others – as they appear by accident and by design in increasingly popular forms of interactive immersive and participatory performance in theatre and live art. Borrowing concepts from cognitive philosophy and bringing them into a conversation with critical theory Gareth White sharply examines meaning as a process that happens to us as we are engaged in the problems and negotiations of a participatory performance. This study will be of great interest to scholars and students of theatre and performance intermedial arts and games studies and to practising artists. | Meaning in the Midst of Performance Contradictions of Participation

Meaning Mind and Self-Transformation Psychoanalytic Interpretation and the Interpretation of Psychoanalysis

Meaning Mind and Self-Transformation Psychoanalytic Interpretation and the Interpretation of Psychoanalysis

Interpretation is the primary intervention of psychoanalysis. Until now it has been discussed almost exclusively from a technical standpoint rather than its relationship to the mind human life and how it affects the personality. This book explores the intrinsic nature of interpretation in psychoanalysis. For that purpose two streams of thought are brought into dialogue with one another: Anglo-American psychoanalysis and Continental European philosophical hermeneutics the study of meaning and interpretation. This book celebrates and makes explicit the value of interchanges between the paradigm of science and philosophical hermeneutics. It is divided into three sections preceded by a discussion of the relationship between psychoanalysis hermeneutics and the sciences with psychoanalysis at a crossroads seeking a new path. Part 1 starts with a consideration of Freud's methodology in The Interpretation of Dreams moving to a review of ancient romantic and modern theories of interpretation as they relate to psychoanalysis. | Meaning Mind and Self-Transformation Psychoanalytic Interpretation and the Interpretation of Psychoanalysis

In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

The Viking Age lasted a little over three centuries but has left a lasting legacy across Europe. These dynamic warrior-traders from Scandinavia who fought and interacted with peoples as far apart as North America Russia and Central Asia are some of the most recognizable historical figures in the western world. In the modern imagination they represent ruthlessness heroism adventurousness and a unique prestige embellished by the wondrous tales and poetry of the sagas. Yet the sum of evidence for the Viking presence is far less clear than their reputation implies. In Search of Vikings presents a collection of papers from experts in a broad range of disciplines including history archaeology genetics and linguistics to provide a detailed understanding of the Vikings in peace and in war. This book focuses on one particularly exciting area of the Viking world namely the north-west region of England where they are known to have settled in large numbers. North-west England was the crossroads between Ireland Scotland Wales the Isle of Man and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. It was a battleground for distant powers and dynasties and its Irish Sea coastline created opportunities for trading and settlement. Silver hoards burials and Old Norse place-names attest to the Viking presence and Scandinavian DNA is detectable amongst the modern population. The 12 integrated studies in this book are designed to reinvigorate the search for Vikings in this crucial region and to provide must-reading for anyone interested in Viking history. | In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

In Search of Responsibility as Education Traversing Banal and Radical Terrains

In Search of Responsibility as Education Traversing Banal and Radical Terrains

Not to be conflated with systems of accountability this book examines responsibility as a subject of educational inquiry. The author argues that responsibility in its most radical sense is not connected to a higher authority. Rather responsibility summons the actor to do the right thing when no one else is there to announce what is right; it involves speaking the truth in a world that is increasingly characterized by organized lying and organized irresponsibility. The search for responsibility as education is explored through a wide range of issues including: studying the ways in which the bureaucratization of the world undermine ethical consciousness; cultivating the ethical imagination in education which is not only vital to sustaining democracy but to counteracting indifference to crimes against humanity and crimes against the planet; critiquing the imperial nationalism of a wave of education legislation requiring American schools to provide instruction on genocides and other mass atrocities that take place by ‘others’ and ‘abroad’ but not at ‘home’ or by ‘us’; centralizing a curriculum of common sense in an era marked by a breakdown of common sense and disinformation narratives; and facing a reality that can never be experienced: the end of the human world. Reimagining education as an avenue for cultivating personal responsibility and global justice this text will be of interest to students scholars and researchers working in curriculum studies philosophy of education educational policy and teacher education. | In Search of Responsibility as Education Traversing Banal and Radical Terrains
