Being Alive Essays on Movement Knowledge and Description

Being Alive Essays on Movement Knowledge and Description

Anthropology is a disciplined inquiry into the conditions and potentials of human life. Generations of theorists however have expunged life from their accounts treating it as the mere output of patterns codes structures or systems variously defined as genetic or cultural natural or social. Building on his classic work The Perception of the Environment Tim Ingold sets out to restore life to where it should belong at the heart of anthropological concern. Being Alive ranges over such themes as the vitality of materials; what it means to make things; the perception and formation of the ground; the mingling of earth and sky in the weather-world; the experiences of light sound and feeling; the role of storytelling in the integration of knowledge; and the potential of drawing to unite observation and description. Our humanity Ingold argues does not come ready-made but is continually fashioned in our movements along ways of life. Starting from the idea of life as a process of wayfaring Ingold presents a radically new understanding of movement knowledge and description as dimensions not just of being in the world but of being alive to what is going on there. This edition includes a new preface by the author. | Being Alive Essays on Movement Knowledge and Description

Chartism Commemoration and the Cult of the Radical Hero

Chartism Commemoration and the Cult of the Radical Hero

Chartism the British mass movement for democratic and social rights in the 1830s and 1840s was profoundly shaped by the radical tradition from which it emerged. Yet little attention has been paid to how Chartists saw themselves in relation to this diverse radical tradition or to the ways in which they invented their own tradition. Paine Cobbett and other ‘founding fathers’ dead and alive were used and in some cases abused by Chartists in their own attempts to invent a radical tradition. By drawing on new and exciting work in the fields of visual and material culture; cultures of heroism memory and commemoration; critical heritage studies; and the history of political thought this book explores the complex cultural work that radical heroes were made to perform. | Chartism Commemoration and the Cult of the Radical Hero

The Perception of Causality

The Perception of Causality

Originally published in 1963 this is a classic work on the psychology of perception. By means of suitable patterns on a partly concealed rotating disc Michotte was able to give the impression of objects in movement; and where certain conditions of speed position and time-interval were satisfied his subjects received the impression of a causal interaction between two objects – for example the impression that one object has ‘bumped into’ another (the ‘Launching Effect’) or is carrying it along (the ‘Entraining Effect’). In a further group of experiments Michotte studies the conditions in which moving objects look as though they are alive. A large number of experiments are described and on the basis of them Michotte formulates a theory as to the conditions in which causal impressions occur. He also compares his own views on causality with those of Hume Maine de Biran and Piaget. | The Perception of Causality

The Indecent Theologies of Marcella Althaus-Reid Voices from Asia and Latin America

Each chapter demonstrates how her legacy is alive and thriving today but also points towards to the potential future impact of her prolific theological output.

Psychoanalytic Diaries of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Psychoanalytic Diaries of the COVID-19 Pandemic

This intimate book explores the experiences of two psychoanalysts during the COVID-19 pandemic. It presents Angelo Antonio Moroni’s psychoanalytic diary and Pietro Roberto Goisis’s clinical diary two highly personal perspectives that explore the interplay of the personal and the psychoanalytic during a time of collective trauma. Angelo’s account written from his ‘camp tent’ examines how fundamental time-tested procedures are suddenly questioned. Roberto’s diary is the story of his own experience as a COVID patient the mutually therapeutic caring relationships he encounters and his efforts to keep his analytical expertise alive and well. The two accounts share painful and graphic experiences of the trauma of the pandemic and how the authors were forced to reconsider the issues of analytical ‘asymmetry’ and ‘neutrality’. Psychoanalytic Diaries of the COVID-19 Pandemic will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training and to readers with an interest in clinical and personal accounts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Plant Minds A Philosophical Defense

Plant Minds A Philosophical Defense

The idea that plants have minds can sound improbable but some widely respected contemporary scientists and philosophers find it plausible. It turns out to be rather tricky to vindicate the presumption that plants do not have minds for doing so requires getting clear about what plants can do and what exactly a mind is. By connecting the most compelling empirical work on plant behavior with philosophical reflection on the concept of minds Plant Minds aims to help non-experts begin to think clearly about whether plants have minds. Relying on current consensus ideas about minds and plants Chauncey Maher first presents the best case for thinking that plants do not have minds. Along the way however he unearths an idea at the root of that case the idea that having a mind requires the capacity to represent the world. In the last chapter he defends a relatively new and insightful theory of mind that rejects that assumption making room for the possibility that plants do have minds primarily because they are alive. | Plant Minds A Philosophical Defense

Balint Matters Psychosomatics and the Art of Assessment

Balint Matters Psychosomatics and the Art of Assessment

This book explores the life and theories of Michael Balint who kept alive Ferenczi's analytic traditions in Budapest and brought them to London where they became a vital part of the Independent Group's theory and practice. Balint's theoretical understanding of regression 'new beginnings' 'basic fault' as well as his profound impact on medicine are all described. The work in the Balint groups by general practitioners psychiatrists and physicians are explored. Whole person and psychosomatic medicine championed by Balint is contrasted with today's more compartmentalised approach to medicine including the increasing separation of the GP from the family. In the second part of the book Dr Sklar reflects on the complex tasks involved in psychodynamic assessment. Vignettes illustrate the importance of understanding the forces in family dynamics the value of an early memory and a dream and the sexual life of the patient. The author argues that Balint's ideas are of particular significance to us today in our world of quick fixes and the overspecialisation of medicine. | Balint Matters Psychosomatics and the Art of Assessment

The Poetry of Thought in Late Antiquity Essays in Imagination and Religion

The Poetry of Thought in Late Antiquity Essays in Imagination and Religion

This title was first published in 2001. These collected essays by Patricia Cox Miller identify new possibilities of meaning in the study of religion in late antiquity. The book addresses the topic of the imaginative mindset of late ancient authors from a variety of Greco-Roman religious traditions. Attending to the play of language as well as to the late ancient sensitivity to image metaphor and paradox Cox Miller's work highlights the poetizing sensibility that marked many of the texts of this period and draws on methods of interpretation from a variety of contemporary literary-critical theories. This book will appeal to scholars of late antiquity religious literature and literary critical theory more widely illustrating how fruitful dialogue across the centuries can be - not only in eliciting aspects of late ancient texts that have gone unnoticed but also in showing that many 'modern' ideas such as Roland Barthes' were actually already alive and well in ancient texts. | The Poetry of Thought in Late Antiquity Essays in Imagination and Religion

Language Interaction and National Identity Studies in the Social Organisation of National Identity in Talk-in-Interaction

Language Interaction and National Identity Studies in the Social Organisation of National Identity in Talk-in-Interaction

Contemporary political and public discourse has come alive with the issues and conflicts surrounding questions of national identity. Despite the widespread sociological attention it has drawn as a result most studies of national identity have been conducted at considerable analytical distance from the lived reality of national identity talk. This collection brings together the work of contemporary researchers situating the talk and interaction in which national identities are actually expressed and used. The book presents detailed investigations of how persons actually use national identity in their talk the interactional uses to which such expressions are put and the interactional consequences of such identity talk. The studies are based on transcribed tape recordings of naturally occurring talk across a variety of different countries and settings illuminating not only situated national identity talk as a phenomenon in its own right but also providing empirically grounded research for traditional sociological theorising about issues of integration devolution and exclusion. | Language Interaction and National Identity Studies in the Social Organisation of National Identity in Talk-in-Interaction

Dreaming and Being Dreamt The Psychoanalytic Function of Dreams

Dreaming and Being Dreamt The Psychoanalytic Function of Dreams

In Dreaming and Being Dreamt John Schneider illustrates the central concept of all emotional functioning: that we are most alive in our dreaming and that it is dreaming that brings us to life. Building upon the theoretical foundations of Ogden and Bion the book explicates the way in which it is the unconscious goal of the patient and the task of the analyst to engage in dreaming the patient into existence in a fuller way than the patient has been able to dream. It goes on to develop the idea that all dreams are psychological works in progress containing aspects of emotional experience that are entirely or partially too disturbing to dream on one’s own. Each chapter of this book offers rich clinical exchanges between patient and analyst in analytic sessions. Schneider clearly shows how he dreams the analytic session with patients and the importance of talking-as-dreaming in contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice. With new insights on theory and rich clinical vignettes this book will be indispensable for all psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists wanting to engage with the latest thinking on dreamwork. | Dreaming and Being Dreamt The Psychoanalytic Function of Dreams
