Beyond Doer and Done to Recognition Theory Intersubjectivity and the Third

Beyond Doer and Done to Recognition Theory Intersubjectivity and the Third

In Beyond Doer and Done To Jessica Benjamin author of the path-breaking Bonds of Love expands her theory of mutual recognition and its breakdown into the complementarity of doer and done to. Her innovative theory charts the growth of the Third in early development through the movement between recognition and breakdown and shows how it parallels the enactments in the psychoanalytic relationship. Benjamin’s recognition theory illuminates the radical potential of acknowledgment in healing both individual and social trauma in creating relational repair in the transformational space of thirdness. Benjamin’s unique formulations of intersubjectivity make essential reading for both psychoanalytic therapists and theorists in the humanities and social sciences. | Beyond Doer and Done to Recognition Theory Intersubjectivity and the Third

A Practical Guide to Understanding Managing and Reviewing Environmental Risk Assessment Reports

A Practical Guide to Understanding Managing and Reviewing Environmental Risk Assessment Reports

A Practical Guide to Understanding Managing and Reviewing Environmental Risk Assessment Reports provides team leaders and team members with a strategy for developing the elements of risk assessment into a readable and beneficial report. The authors believe that successful management of the risk assessment team is a key factor is quality reports. Leadership first clarifies the roles of each participant and the unique technical factors of their respective disciplines. Teamwork is achieved through an emphasis on common language and procedures. Belluck and Benjamin explore a variety of techniques for creating accurate and useful reports. An example is Proactive Risk Assessment which breaks a project into discrete parts to be delivered on an interim basis. This method based on iterative review drastically increases the chance of detecting errors while they can still be corrected. The authors emphasize rigorous standards by which reports are audited evaluated and critiqued. The goal is to create reports that are accurate useful and adaptable on an industry-wide basis.

Towards a New Concept of the Political A Defence of Universalism and Difference

Towards a New Concept of the Political A Defence of Universalism and Difference

This book addresses the current crisis of democratic politics and its phase of ‘interregnum’ – in which the past finds it hard to die and the future finds it difficult to be born – by proposing a radical redefinition of the concept of the Political. Drawing on the thoughts of Antonio Gramsci and Walter Benjamin among others it explores the meaning of the lemma auctoritas – the opposition between authority and power – and offers a comparison of the Frankfurt School’s radical critique of power with Georges Bataille’s critique of political economy and consumerist productivism demonstrating how the two ultimately converge. Based on an ontology of the present that is critical of ‘identity obsession’ and advances instead a universalism of difference the author proposes a new understanding of politics founded not on ‘vertical’ domination but on a ‘horizontal’ recomposition of subjectivities allowing interaction and acting-in-common between different forms of life. This book will therefore appeal to scholars of social and political theory. | Towards a New Concept of the Political A Defence of Universalism and Difference

The Thriller and Northern Ireland since 1969 Utterly Resigned Terror

The Thriller and Northern Ireland since 1969 Utterly Resigned Terror

For the past 30 years the so-called 'Troubles' thriller has been the dominant fictional mode for representing Northern Ireland leading to the charge that the crudity of this popular genre appropriately reflects the social degradation of the North. Aaron Kelly challenges both these judgments showing that the historical questions raised by setting a thriller in Northern Ireland disrupt the conventions of the crime novel and allow for a new understanding of both the genre and the country. Two essays on crime fiction by Walter Benjamin and Berthold Brecht appear here for the first time in English translation. By demonstrating the relevance of these theorists as well as other key European thinkers such as Antonio Gramsci Louis Althusser and Slavoj Zizek to his interdisciplinary study of Irish culture and the crime novel Kelly refutes the idea that Northern Ireland is a stagnate anomaly that has been bypassed by European history and remained impervious to cultural transformation. On the contrary Kelly's examination of authors such as Jack Higgins Tom Clancy Gerald Seymour Colin Bateman and Eoin McNamee shows that profound historical change and complexity have characterized both Northern Ireland and the thriller form. | The Thriller and Northern Ireland since 1969 Utterly Resigned Terror

Civil Society in Liberal Democracy

Civil Society in Liberal Democracy

In this contribution to contemporary political philosophy Jensen aims to develop a model of civil society for deliberative democracy. In the course of developing the model he also provides a thorough account of the meaning and use of civil society in contemporary scholarship as well as a critical review of rival models including those found in the work of scholars such as John Rawls Jurgen Habermas Michael Walzer Benjamin Barber and Nancy Rosenblum. Jensen's own ideal treats civil society as both the context in which citizens live out their comprehensive views of the good life as well as the context in which citizens learn to be good deliberative democrats. According to his idealization groups of citizens in civil society are actively engaged in a grand conversation about the nature of the good life. Their commitment to this conversation grounds dispositions of epistemic humility tolerance curiosity and moderation. Moreover their regard for the grand conversation explains their interest in deliberative democracy and their regard for democratic virtues principles and practices. Jensen is not a naive utopian however; he argues that this ideal must be realized in stages that it faces a variety of barriers and that it cannot be realized without luck. | Civil Society in Liberal Democracy

Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791 A Continuing Legacy

Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791 A Continuing Legacy

Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791: A Continuing Legacy is the first in-depth study of this eighteenth-century British architect’s impact on the work of others extending globally and still indeed the case over 200 years later. Author Oliver Bradbury presents a compelling argument that the influence of Soane (1753-1837) has persevered through the centuries rather than waning around the time of his death. Through examinations of internationally-renowned architects from Benjamin Henry Latrobe to Philip Johnson as well as a number of not so well known Soanean disciples Bradbury posits that Soane is perhaps second only to Palladio in terms of the longevity of his influence on architecture through the course of more than two centuries from the early 1790s to today concluding with the recent return to pure revivalism. Previous investigations have been limited to focusing on Soane’s late-Georgian and then post-modern influence; this is the first in-depth study of his impact over the course of two centuries. Through this survey Bradbury demonstrates that Soane’s influence has been truly international in the pre-modern era reaching throughout the British Isles and beyond to North America and even colonial Australia. Through his inclusion of select detailed case studies Bradbury contends that Soane’s is a continuing not negated legacy in architecture. | Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791 A Continuing Legacy
