Confusion of Tongues A Return to Sandor Ferenczi

Confusion of Tongues A Return to Sandor Ferenczi

Sandor Ferenczi Sigmund Freud's brilliant pupil as well as an innovative psychoanalyst was silenced by various generations of his contemporaries until in the past decades his work began to be rediscovered.

Miguel Gutierrez-Pelaez offers a new reading of Ferenczi by proposing a dialogue between the Hungarian psychoanalyst's work philosophy and contemporary psychoanalysis. Among the subjects covered the book delves into the vulnerability of children and Ferenczi's never-ending search for a cure the complex issue of war trauma and more specifically his anticipatory work in understanding the effects on the human psyche of the horrific experiences in concentration camps during World War II. These issues are raised against the backdrop of captivating figures like Jacques Lacan Emmanuel Levinas Giorgio Agamben Derrida Nietzsche and Primo Levi among others. | Confusion of Tongues A Return to Sandor Ferenczi

Art and Expression Studies in the Psychology of Art

Art and Expression Studies in the Psychology of Art

Perception of expression distinguishes our cognitive activity in a pervasive significant and peculiar way and manifests itself paradigmatically in the vast world of artistic production. Art and Expression examines the cognitive processes involved in artistic production aesthetic reception understanding and enjoyment. Using a phenomenological theoretical and methodological framework developed by Rudolf Arnheim and other important scholars interested in expressive media Alberto Argenton considers a wide range of artistic works which span the whole arc of the history of western graphic and pictorial art. Argenton analyses the representational strategies of a dynamic and expressive character that can be reduced to basic aspects of perception like obliqueness amodal completion and the bilateral function of contour giving new directions relative to the functioning of cognitive activity. Art and Expression is a monument to the fruitful collaboration of art history and psychology and Argenton has taken great care to construct a meaningful psychological approach to the arts based also on a knowledge of pictorial genres that allows him to systematically situate the works under scrutiny. Art and Expression is an essential resource for postgraduate researchers and scholars interested in visual perception art and gestalt psychology. | Art and Expression Studies in the Psychology of Art

The Archaeology of Art Materials Practices Affects

The Archaeology of Art Materials Practices Affects

How can archaeologists interpret ancient art and images if they do not treat them as symbols or signifiers of identity? Traditional approaches to the archaeology of art have borrowed from the history of art and the anthropology of art by focusing on iconography meaning communication and identity. This puts the archaeology of art at a disadvantage as an understanding of iconography and meaning requires a detailed knowledge of historical or ethnographic context unavailable to many archaeologists. Rather than playing to archaeology’s weaknesses the authors argue that an archaeology of art should instead play to archaeology’s strength: the material character of archaeological evidence. Using case studies - examining rock art figurines beadwork murals coffin decorations sculpture and architecture from Europe the Americas Asia Australia and north Africa -the authors develop an understanding of the affective and effective nature of ancient art and imagery. An analysis of a series of material-based practices from gesture and improvisation to miniaturisation and gigantism assembly and disassembly and the use of distinctions in colour enable key concepts such as style and meaning to be re-imagined as affective practices. Recasting the archaeology of art as the study of affects offers a new prospectus for the study of ancient art and imagery. | The Archaeology of Art Materials Practices Affects

Nietzsche and the Fate of Art

Nietzsche and the Fate of Art

This title was first published in 2002. Challenging the accepted orthodoxy on Nietzsche's views on art this book seeks both to challenge and to establish a new set of concerns as far as discourses on Nietzsche's thoughts on aesthetics are concerned whilst at the same time using such insights to illuminate more central concerns of Nietzsche scholarship such as the will to power the illusion/truth question the eternal return the death of God tragedy Wagner. Following the development of Nietzsche's thoughts on art from his earliest writings to his last Pothen counters traditionally accepted interpretations by suggesting a need to recognize the deep suspicion and at times hostility that Nietzsche displays towards art and the artist throughout his text by emphasising the philosophical arguments underlying this deep suspicion and by viewing this tendency as something deeply connected to the other areas of his thought. Readers with interests in Nietzsche studies aesthetics German philosophy and the philosophy of music will find this a particularly invaluable and distinctive contribution to Nietzsche scholarship. | Nietzsche and the Fate of Art

The Art of Marvell's Poetry

The Art of Marvell's Poetry

First Published in 1966 The Art of Marvell's Poetry presents J. B. Leishman’s appreciation of Andrew Marvell’s poems by demonstrating a sensitive understanding of attitudes peculiar to the seventeenth century and to Marvell. Leishman calls Marvell an inveterate imitator and experimenter. His success depended on originality of combination rather than originality of invention. But while such phrases as Musick the Mosaique of the Air ’’ Desarts of vast Eternity - and a green Thought in a green shade were certainly inspired by others they are distinctively and unquestionably Marvell’s own. Marvell’s poetry is shown to be the work of a man living at a certain moment in history; it is poetry which could not have been written at any other time and its affinities to the work of contemporary poets are clearly demonstrated. The Art of Marvell's Poetry is a must read for scholars and researchers of English poetry English literature and European literature.

The Museums of Contemporary Art Notion and Development

The Museums of Contemporary Art Notion and Development

Where how by whom and for what were the first museums of contemporary art created? These are the key questions addressed by J. Pedro Lorente in this new book. In it he explores the concept and history of museums of contemporary art and the shifting ways in which they have been imagined and presented. Following an introduction that sets out the historiography and considering questions of terminology the first part of the book then examines the paradigm of the Musée des Artistes Vivants in Paris and its equivalents in the rest of Europe during the nineteenth century. The second part takes the story forward from 1930 to the present presenting New York's Museum of Modern Art as a new universal role model that found emulators or 'contramodels' in the rest of the Western world during the twentieth century. An epilogue reviews recent museum developments in the last decades. Through its adoption of a long-term worldwide perspective the book not only provides a narrative of the development of museums of contemporary art but also sets this into its international perspective. By assessing the extent to which the great museum-capitals - Paris London and New York in particular - created their own models of museum provision as well as acknowledging the influence of such models elsewhere the book uncovers fascinating perspectives on the practice of museum provision and reveals how present cultural planning initiatives have often been shaped by historical uses. | The Museums of Contemporary Art Notion and Development

Art Psychotherapy Groups in The Hostile Environment of Neoliberalism Collusion or Resistance?

Art Psychotherapy Groups in The Hostile Environment of Neoliberalism Collusion or Resistance?

This book explores how ‘the hostile environment’ of neoliberalism affects art therapy in Britain. It shows how ambiguity in art and in psychoanalytically understood relationships can enable art psychotherapy groups to engage with class dynamics and aspire to democracy. The book argues that art therapy needs to become a political practice if it is to resist collusion with a system that marginalises collectivity and holds individuals responsible for both their suffering and their recovery. It provides accounts of the contradictions that are thrown up by neoliberalism in art therapists’ workplaces as well as accounts of art therapy groups with those affected by the fire at Grenfell Tower in an acute ward a women’s prison a community art studio and in a refugee camp. Written by art psychotherapists for arts therapists and other mental health workers the book will bring political awareness and consideration of resistance into all art therapy relationships whatever the context and client group. | Art Psychotherapy Groups in The Hostile Environment of Neoliberalism Collusion or Resistance?

The Art of Personality in Literature and Psychoanalysis

The Art of Personality in Literature and Psychoanalysis

The Art of Personality is a diverse selection of talks and papers on psychoanalysis and literature given by the author over the past ten years. They elaborate on the goal expressed by Milton as 'becoming a true poem': that is seeing parallels between the gradual construction of the personality and the construction of a work of art following an internal evolution on the lines of Bion's description of an 'endoskeletonous personality'. The works discussed range from classic Greek drama to Dostoevsky Kafka and Patrick White. The author's thoughts on our interaction with literature stand alongside those of Adrian Stokes and Richard Wollheim on understanding paintings. She brings together a broad knowledge of ancient and modern writings with a deep understanding of the creatively imaginative mind illuminated by post-Kleinian psychoanalysis. This book will be a source of pleasure and inspiration both to general lovers of literature and to psychoanalytic workers who value the poetic aspects of their patients and their own forms of expression.

The Art of the Soluble

The Art of the Soluble

First published in 1967 The Art of the Soluble presents collection of essays giving the views of the author on creativity and originality in science and on the logical connections between creative and critical thought. It is also a pioneering study of the ethology of the scientists – of the anatomy of scientific behaviour. Is it true that scientists are detached or dispassionate observers of Nature? What underlies the scientist’s deep concern over the matters of priority? How did a class distinction grow up between pure and applied science? By what criteria do scientists value their own and their colleagues work? Some of the answers grow out of author’s four critical studies of Teilhard de Chardin Arthur Koestler D’Arcy Thompson and Herbert Spencer and the book as whole is knit together by a major essay Hypothesis and Imagination on the nature of scientific reasoning. P. B. Medawar who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1960 did not see science as a book-keeping of Nature but on the contrary as the greatest of human adventures. This book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of philosophy of Science natural science and philosophy in general

The Borghese Collections and the Display of Art in the Age of the Grand Tour

The Borghese Collections and the Display of Art in the Age of the Grand Tour

The redecoration of the exhibition spaces at the Borghese palace and villa undertaken together with the reinstallation of the family's vast art collections was one of the most important events in the cultural life of eighteenth-century Rome. In this comprehensive study Carole Paul reconstructs the planning and execution of the project and explains its multifaceted significance: its place in the history of Italian art architecture and interior design at a complex moment of transition from baroque to neoclassical style as well as its unrecognized but profound influence on the development of the modern art museum. The study shows how the installations and decorations worked together to evoke traditional themes in innovative ways. Addressed primarily to a new audience of tourists from abroad the thematic content of the spaces celebrated the greatness of the Borghese family and of Roman tradition while their stylistic diversity and sophistication made a case for the continued vitality - even modernity - of Roman art and culture. Designed for the exercise of a highly refined social performance these sites helped to model the experience of art as a form of enlightened modern civility. | The Borghese Collections and the Display of Art in the Age of the Grand Tour
