Positive Psychology in Search for Meaning

Positive Psychology in Search for Meaning

What are the ways in which we can understand the meaning of the psychology of meaning in people’s lives? In the last century mainstream psychology has largely neglected the topic of meaning. More recently the concept has become an academically legitimate one within positive psychology and in some other speciality areas of psychology. This book contains a collection of theoretical methodological and empirical papers written by the acknowledged experts systematically working on the problems of personal meaning within the positive psychology framework. The authors investigate the possibilities and limitations of a scientific study of personal meaning and new perspectives that this concept brings to the field. This book was originally published as a special issue of The Journal of Positive Psychology. | Positive Psychology in Search for Meaning

Anthropology Islands and the Search for Meaning in the Anthropocene

Part ethnography part memoir and part critical reflection on the Anthropocene this book examines the ways that islands form and inform human experiences of the everyday and the extraordinary.

Moving across time place and disciplinary boundaries this book traces a narrative route from the remote islands of Micronesia to the subarctic expanses of northern Iceland all in service of gaining a deeper understanding of the cultural resonance of islands. This book offers the reader a type of ideological travel guide one that exchanges restaurant reviews and hotel recommendations for pathways of reflection and new modes of seeing and being in the world.

Melville and the Question of Meaning

Melville and the Question of Meaning

This rich volume of essays restores meaning itself as the focal point of one of our most thoughtful modern writers Herman Melville. Melville and the Question of Meaning thinks about thinking in Melville. For if Melville’s concerns with interpretation (the contributors to one recent collection variously read the author for the ‘meaning’ of the characters the meaning of the body recesses of meaning deepest levels of meaning double meaning and the meaning of being and everything else) overlap with our own concerns at a cultural moment when meaning feels especially strained we have lost sight of the central place of meaning making in Melville’s work. My own readings in Melville are a pedestrian’s guide through the self-conscious complications of meaning we meet with in Melville across a range of different disciplines and endeavors. Combining aesthetics and sociolinguistics history and theory rhetoric and politics philosophy and film studies Melville and the Question of Meaning demonstrates that the project of making meaning in Melville remains as vital as ever.

Euro-Mediterranean Security: A Search for Partnership A Search for Partnership

Euro-Mediterranean Security: A Search for Partnership A Search for Partnership

This title was first published in 2003. This work provides a clearer understanding of the EU's approach towards security in the Mediterranean. After examining the EU's interests and the potential threats to security in the region it analyzes EU security policy towards the region as a whole through the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership and towards all disputes and conflicts in the area. It recommends opening up the European Security and Defence Policy to Mediterranean participation in order to establish a deep and equitable security partnership between both shores. The book argues that this way the EU could implement its innovative comprehensive and co-operative approach to security. Rather than focusing on the military aspect alone this approach takes into account all dimensions of security (political socio-economic cultural and ecological) and is based on partnership rather than confrontation. It therefore contrasts quite sharply with the policies advocated in the US National Security Strategy. | Euro-Mediterranean Security: A Search for Partnership A Search for Partnership

Meaning Semantics Pragmatics Cognition

Meaning Semantics Pragmatics Cognition

Meaning addresses the fundamental question of human language interaction: what it is to mean and how we communicate our meanings to others. Experienced textbook writer and eminent researcher Betty J. Birner gives balanced coverage to semantics and pragmatics emphasizing interactions between the two and discusses other fields of language study such as syntax neurology philosophy of language and artificial intelligence in terms of their interfaces with linguistic meaning. Comics and diagrams appear throughout to keep the reader engaged; and end-of-chapter quizzes data-collection exercises and opinion questions are employed along with more traditional exercises and discussion questions. In addition the book features copious examples from real life and current events along with boxes describing linguistic issues in the news and interesting and accessible research on topics like swearing politics and animal communication. Students will emerge ready for deeper study in semantics and pragmatics – and more importantly with an understanding of how all of these fields serve the fundamental purpose of human language: the communication of meaning. Meaning is an ideal textbook for courses in linguistic meaning that focus on both semantics and pragmatics in equal parts with special attention on philosophical questions related subfields of linguistics and interfaces among these various areas. Appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate-level courses in semantics pragmatics and general linguistics Meaning is essential reading for all students of linguistic meaning. | Meaning Semantics Pragmatics Cognition
