The Dying Body as a Lived Experience

The Dying Body as a Lived Experience

The anxiety over death persists in everyday life- though often denied or repressed- lingering as an unconscious worry or intuition that typically seems to compromise one’s feelings of well-being and experience in a range of areas; coming out often as malaise depression and anger in much conduct. If one accepts the cliché that life is preparation for death we must accept that the lived experience of the dying body is not highlighted merely in obvious cases of deterioration such as in the ageing or diseased body but in everyday life as a normal phenomenon. This book proposes that sensitivity to this dimension can empower us to develop creative relationships to the vulnerability of others and to ourselves as well. Part One lays the groundwork for a study of the ways the aura and fear of death recurs as a constant premonition in life and how people try to deal with this uneasiness. Part Two then goes on to apply this focus to particular concerns and problems such as dementia depression aging retirement and a range of anxieties frustrations and aggressions. The Dying Body as Lived Experience will be of interest to a wide interdisciplinary audience in the health sciences in the sociology of health and illness philosophy bioethics and in the expanding field of medical humanities. | The Dying Body as a Lived Experience

From their marginal stance they expressed in fiction what they had observed and experienced and they wrote symbolically of their journey to a choice of belonging to one group or the other. This title will be of interest to students of literature history and sociology. | The Assimilation Experience of Five American White Ethnic Novelists of the Twentieth Century

The Vitality of Karamojong Religion Dying Tradition or Living Faith?

The Vitality of Karamojong Religion Dying Tradition or Living Faith?

How long can a traditional religion survive the impact of world religions state hegemony and globalization? The ’Karamoja problem’ is one that has perplexed colonial and independent governments alike. Now Karamojong notoriety for armed cattle raiding has attracted the attention of the UN and USAID since the proliferation of small arms in the pastoralist belt across Africa from Sudan to stateless Somalia is deemed a threat to world security. The consequences are ethnocidal but what makes African peoples stand out against state and global governance? The traditional African religion of the Karamojong despite the multiple external influences of the twentieth century and earlier has remained at the heart of their culture as it has changed through time. Drawing on oral accounts and the language itself as well as his extensive experience of living and working in the region Knighton avoids Western perspectivism to highlight the successful reassertion of African beliefs and values over repeated attempts by interventionists to replace or subvert them. Knighton argues that the religious aspect of Karamojong culture with its persistent faith dimension is one of the key factors that have enabled them to maintain their amazing degree of religious political and military autonomy in the postmodern world. Using historical and anthropological approaches the real continuities within the culture and the reasons for mysterious vitality of Karamojong religion are explored. | The Vitality of Karamojong Religion Dying Tradition or Living Faith?

Narrative Fiction and Death Dying Imagined

Narrative Fiction and Death Dying Imagined

Narrative Fiction and Death: Dying Imagined offers a new perspective on the study of death in literature. It focuses on narrative fiction that conveys the experience of dying from the internal perspective of a dying protagonist. Writers from Victor Hugo in the early 1800s to Elif Shafak in the present day have imagined the unknowable final moments on the threshold to death. This literary study examines the wide range of narrative strategies used to evoke the transition from life to death and to what effect revealing not only each writer’s unique way of representing the dying experience; the comparative reading also finds common concerns in these texts and uncovers surprising parallels and unexplored intertextual relations between works across time and space that will interest comparatists as well as specialists in the literatures discussed. Students of individual texts examined here will benefit from detailed analyses of these works. The fictional evocation of dying addresses our basic human fears offering catharsis consolation and a greater cognitive and emotional understanding of that unknowable experience. Presented in an engaging and highly readable manner this study argues for literature’s potential to challenge our assumptions about the end of life and change our approach to dying an aspect that will interest students and researchers of the health humanities palliative caregivers and all those interested in questions of the end of life. | Narrative Fiction and Death Dying Imagined

The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading

The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading

In a rare fusion of literary sensibility with psychological research Norman N. Holland brings to light important data showing how personality in the fullest sense of character development and identity affects the way in which we read and interpret literature. This book will show that readers respond to literature in terms of their own lifestyle character personality or identity. By such terms psychoanalytic writers mean an individual's characteristic way of dealing with the demands of outer and inner reality. Each new experience develops the style while the pre-existing style shapes each new experience. The sub-title of this book Five Readers Reading reflects the fact that the author a distinguished literary critic worked with five student readers using a battery of psychological tests and extensive interviews to study the ways they reacted to classic short stories by Faulkner Hemingway and others. Combining his own interpretation of the stories with his understanding of the readers and their reactions Holland derives four principles that inform literary response. He then goes on to show how these principles apply not just to literary response but to the way personality shapes any experience. The book carries Holland's previous studies of creation and responsive recreation forward to a major theoretical statement. He rejects the artificial idea that one must think of a text (or other event) as separate from its perceivers illustrating the dynamics by which perceiver and perceived mutually create an experience. For critics and students of the psychology of human behavior this is challenging and seminal reading. | The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading
