Myth Literature and the Unconscious

Myth Literature and the Unconscious

At a time when the place and significance of myth in society has come under renewed scrutiny Myth Literature and the Unconscious contributes to shaping the new interdisciplinary field of myth studies. The editors find in psychoanalysis a natural and necessary ally for investigations in myth and myth-informed literature and the arts. At the same time the collection re-values myths and myth-based cultural products as vital aids to the discipline and practice of psychoanalysis. The volume spans a vast geo-cultural range (including ancient Egypt India Japan nineteenth-century France and twentieth-century Germany) and investigates cultural products from the Mahabharata to J. W. Goethe's opus and eighteenth-century Japanese fiction and from William Blake's visionary poetry to contemporary blockbuster television series. It encompasses mythic topics and figures such as Oedipus Orpheus the Scapegoat and the Hero while mobilising Freudian Jungian object relations and Lacanian psychoanalytic approaches.

The God of the Left Hemisphere Blake Bolte Taylor and the Myth of Creation

The God of the Left Hemisphere Blake Bolte Taylor and the Myth of Creation

The God of the Left Hemisphere explores the remarkable connections between the activities and functions of the human brain that writer William Blake termed 'Urizen' and the powerful complex of rationalising and ordering processes which modern neuroscience identifies as 'left hemisphere' brain activity. The book argues that Blake's profound understanding of the human brain is finding surprising corroboration in recent neuroscientific discoveries such as those of the influential Harvard neuro-anatomist Jill Bolte Taylor and it explores Blake's provocative supposition that the emergence of these rationalising law-making and 'limiting' activities within the human brain has been recorded in the earliest Creation texts such as the Hebrew Bible Plato's Timaeus and the Norse sagas. Blake's prescient insight into the nature and origins of this dominant force within the brain allows him to radically reinterpret the psychological basis of the entity usually referred to in these texts as 'God'. The book draws in particular on the work of Bolte Taylor whose study in this area is having a profound impact on how we understand mental activity and processes. | The God of the Left Hemisphere Blake Bolte Taylor and the Myth of Creation

Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

For well over half a century since the first credible warnings of petroleum depletion were raised in the 1950s contemporary industrial civilization has been caught in a remarkable paradox: a culture more focused on problem solving than any other has repeatedly failed to deal with or even consider the problem most likely to bring its own history to a full stop. The coming of peak oil-the peaking and irreversible decline of world petroleum production-poses an existential threat to societies in which every sector of the economy depends on petroleum-based transport and no known energy source can scale up extensively or quickly enough to replace dwindling oil supplies. Not The Future We Ordered is the first study of the psychological dimensions of that decision and its consequences as a case study in the social psychology of collective failure and as an issue with which psychologists and therapists will be confronted repeatedly in the years ahead. | Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

Direct Democracy Or Representative Government? Dispelling The Populist Myth

Direct Democracy Or Representative Government? Dispelling The Populist Myth

In Direct Democracy or Representative Government? John Haskell develops a devastating critique of direct democracy by exposing the central flaw in populist thinking. Contrary to the beliefs of populist advocates of direct democracy the popular will cannot be interpreted from the results of the plebiscite. John Haskell presents a defense of representative institutions that brings to bear in an understandable way the findings of public choice scholars. Haskell covers the clash of ideas between populists and constitutionalists throughout American history. He follows the development of direct democracy during the twentieth century especially the dramatically increased use of initiatives and referenda in the last decade. As Americans become increasingly frustrated with the workings of the institutions of government at the state and national levels and as populist ideas gain greater currency new forms of direct and participatory democracy making use of the latest computer technology appeal to more people. Haskell speculates as to the likely future direction of direct democracy in the U. S. He describes in clear language the fundamental problem with the premise of populist thinking and explains why direct democracy presents a threat to minority rights and only promises irresponsible and unaccountable governance. | Direct Democracy Or Representative Government?

Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions Low Expectations?

Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions Low Expectations?

Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions provides the first comprehensive analysis of stabilization which constitutes the new reference point for international intervention in unruly parts of the Global South. The notion of ‘stabilization’ and the practice of ‘stability operations’ experienced a revival over the last decade. The United Nations the European Union NATO as well as most member states of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development have embraced these terms in their foreign policy bureaucracies. The general disillusionment with the achievements of large-scale peacebuilding operations in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq as well as the failures of the so-called Arab Springs contributed to the success of this new discourse. Yet while widely mentioned and endorsed stabilization is rarely defined. This volume identifies common elements to stabilization doctrines and examines how they are applied in practice. It dissects how stabilization emerged and unfolds how different actors adopt it and for what purposes and how it is linked to the broader security and development discourses. Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions will be of great interest to scholars of Peacebuilding International Intervention and International Relations more generally. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Ethnopolitics. | Stabilization as the New Normal in International Interventions Low Expectations?

Religion of the Semites The Fundamental Institutions

Religion of the Semites The Fundamental Institutions

Scottish Semiticist and Arabist William Robertson Smith was a celebrated biblical critic theorist of religion and theorist of myth. His accomplishments were multiple. Smith's German mentors reconstructed the history of Israelite religion from the Bible itself; Smith ventured outside the Bible to Semitic religion and thereby pioneered the comparative study of religion. Where others viewed religion from the standpoint of the individual Smith approached religion-at least ancient religion-from the standpoint of the group. He asserted that ancient religion was centrally a matter of practice not creed and singlehandedly created the ritualist theory of myth. Since Smith's time the ritualist theory of myth has found adherents not only in biblical studies but in classics anthropology and literature as well. Smith's accomplishments are seen most fully in Religion of the Semites adapted from a number of public lectures he gave at Aberdeen and first published in 1889. Smith delivered three courses of lectures over three years. It is this set that is reprinted here. Only recently were the notes for the second and third courses of lectures discovered and published. Religion of the Semites combines extraordinary philological erudition with brilliant theorizing. Among the fundamental emphases of the book are the foci on sacrifice as the key ritual and non-ancient sacrifice as communion with God rather than as penance for sin. Most important is Smith's use of the comparative method: he uses cross-cultural examples from other primitive peoples to confirm his reconstruction from Semitic sources. Smith combines pioneering sociology and anthropology with a staunchly Christian faith. For him Christianity is an expression of divine revelation. For Smith only continuing revelation can account for the leap from the collective ritualistic and materialistic nature of ancient Semitic religion to the individualistic creedal and spiritualized nature of Christianity. Lectures on the Religion of the Semites manages to meld social science with theology and remains a classic work in the social scientific study of religion. | Religion of the Semites The Fundamental Institutions

Class War or Race War The Inner Fronts of Soviet Society during and after the Second World War

Class War or Race War The Inner Fronts of Soviet Society during and after the Second World War

Class War or Race War is more than an anti-thesis of the master narrative regarding the Soviet state antisemitism. Kende not only refutes the originally anti-Communist myth of the systemic nature of (state) socialism but tries to re- and deconstruct the origins of this myth. With intensive use of historical documents memoirs and the related historiography the book attempts to make historical sense from the myth it intends to refute. Kende goes beyond the contemporary perceptions of the “Jewish question” and antisemitism and with close reading of original documents reconstructs the real frontlines of the Soviet society of the 1940s which were not constructed along identity-political lines. The book reinvests the long-forgotten understanding of social classes in an allegedly classless and monolithic society. The spontaneous formations of the actual frontlines in the hinterland or on the actual fronts (battlefields in the Red Army) lacked the participants’ class consciousness thus its occurrences in the form of conflict producing historical records were recorded as acts of antisemitism. As the book advocates Jews could have been found on both sides of the inner frontlines of Soviet society during and right after WWII. An insightful read for scholars of Soviet history that presents a bold and challenging interpretation of the regime and its flaws—both perceived and real. | Class War or Race War The Inner Fronts of Soviet Society during and after the Second World War

Aspects of Confused Speech A Study of Verbal Interaction Between Confused and Normal Speakers

Aspects of Confused Speech A Study of Verbal Interaction Between Confused and Normal Speakers

Based on research focusing on the experience of having confused speech and being with confused speakers this book begins with everyday commonly understood ideas such as talking too much and examines how confused speech is brought off as a collaborative activity by the people involved. The author became involved in this project because she was interested in how confusion seemed to be something that everyone is not only involved in but also recognizes as part of ordinary life. At the same time confusion is a word that is used somewhat as a blanket category for some people considered permanently incompetent and set apart from ordinary members of society. Her study analyzes how talk between confused and normal speakers throws light on this tension. | Aspects of Confused Speech A Study of Verbal Interaction Between Confused and Normal Speakers

The Ideal of the University

The Ideal of the University

The Ideal of the University is a lucid comprehensive analysis of the rationale principles and presuppositions that make contemporary universities what they are. The book begins with four sharp carefully delineated models of a university. After analyzing such controversial issues as the role of grading in the university and the myth of value neutrality. Wolff turns to the crucial question of how the university should be governed. He argues for a radical reconstruction based on a social contract that would place ultimate authority in the hands of the faculty and students. The book concludes with a series of practical proposals for Utopian reform including such provocative recommendations as a variable-length ungraded undergraduate program and elimination of the Ph. D. degree. In his introduction to this new edition Wolff expands upon his original speculations to argue in substantive detail for the liberating potential of the liberal arts. Drawing upon Freud and Marcuse Wolff proposes that literature art and philosophy embody a promise of gratification that engenders a negative critique of the social and cultural status quo. The rationale for the liberal arts university is society's need for a reservoir of critical thinking that is the motor of social economic and political progress. Elegantly written and passionately argued; The Ideal of the University is essential reading for educators and sociologists.
