In Conversation with Karen Barad Doings of Agential Realism

In Conversation with Karen Barad Doings of Agential Realism

In Conversation with Karen Barad: Doings of Agential Realism is an accessible introduction to Karen Barad’s agential realist philosophy. The authors take on a unique approach to involve the readers in in/formal conversations between Karen postgraduate and other researchers at a research event held in 2017 at Cape Town South Africa. It features chapters that have been contributed by seminar delegates and organisers which put forth the continuing impact that Karen Barad has had on their empirical work research writing and drawing practices. The text further discusses the ethical and political significance of Karen’s work especially in the context of de/colonizing South African higher education. The chapters offer a series of worked posthumanist pedagogical examples and describe how a research seminar was organised differently and more in line with Baradian radical philosophy. At its heart this book makes a methodological and pedagogical contribution to the surge in literature on agential realism whilst simultaneously challenging dominant research binaries and arguing for a more egalitarian way of working together in knowledge-creation by troubling human and more-than-human hierarchies. The book’s uniqueness is further fortified through its description of in/formal conversations which are diffracted through chapters a doing of agential realism to reconfigure relationships between lecturer and student expert and novice supervisor and supervised researcher and research participants. These radical conversations are dis/continuing. This book will be invaluable for students and individuals interested in advancing their understanding of agential realism and Karen Barad’s influence at large as well as students and scholars interested in postqualitative methods in all disciplines. | In Conversation with Karen Barad Doings of Agential Realism

Individualism and Moral Character Karen Horney's Depth Psychology

Individualism and Moral Character Karen Horney's Depth Psychology

There are hundreds of different systems of psychotherapy today ranging from the traditional talking cure to symbolic re-birthing and primal scream. The landscape is littered with serious social science pop psychology esoteric doctrine and pure charlatanism. One of the obvious dangers of so many choices is that the best therapies may be lost in a profusion of competing schools and traditions. To some extent this has been the fate of the school of psychotherapy developed by Karen Horney. Since her death in 1952 Horney's work has received insufficient attention in part because criticism of Freud's thought may have tainted attitudes toward psychotherapy in general. Jeff Mitchell argues that Karen Horney's school of psychoanalysis constitutes a highly innovative moral psychology. He interprets her approach to the treatment of personality or character disorders as a form of moral education. Drawing on research in the social sciences particularly anthropology sociology and psychology Mitchell argues that Horney's reworking of Freud's thinking preserves and builds upon what was truly insightful in his work and eliminates the most dubious elements. Her thinking acknowledges that today individuals achieve their own identities rather than accepting what was ascribed to them by birth. This makes Karen Horney's theories especially relevant both for psychotherapy as well as to thought about human affairs in general. | Individualism and Moral Character Karen Horney's Depth Psychology
