Active Collections

Active Collections

In recent years many museums have implemented sweeping changes in how they engage audiences. However changes to the field’s approaches to collections stewardship have come much more slowly. Active Collections critically examines existing approaches to museum collections and explores practical yet radical ways that museums can better manage their collections to actively advance their missions. Approaching the question of modern museum collection stewardship from a position of tough love the authors argue that the museum field risks being constrained by rigid ways of thinking about objects. Examining the field’s relationship to objects artifacts and specimens the volume explores the question of stewardship through the dissection of a broad range of issues including questions of quality over quantity emotional attachment dispassionate cataloging and cognitive biases in curatorship. The essays look to insights from fields as diverse as forest management library science and the psychology of compulsive hoarding to inform and innovate collection practices. Essay contributions come from both experienced museum professionals and scholars from disciplines as diverse as psychology education and history. The result is a critical exploration that makes the book essential reading for museum professionals as well as those in training.

Jung's Technique of Active Imagination and Desoille's Directed Waking Dream Method Bridging the Divide

Jung's Technique of Active Imagination and Desoille's Directed Waking Dream Method Bridging the Divide

Jung's Technique of Active Imagination and Desoille's Directed Waking Dream Method brings together Carl Jung’s active imagination and Robert Desoille’s rêve éveillé dirigé/directed waking dream method (RED). It studies the historical development of these approaches in Central Europe in the first half of the 20th century and explores their theoretical similarities and differences proposing an integrated framework of clinical practice. The book aims to study the wider European context of the 1900s which influenced the development of both Jung’s and Desoille’s methods. This work compares the spatial metaphors of interiority used by both Jung and Desoille to describe the traditional concept of inner psychic space in the waking dreams of Jung’s active imagination and Desoille’s RED. It also attempts a broader theoretical comparison between the procedural aspects of both RED and active imagination by identifying commonalities and divergences between the two approaches. This book is a unique contribution to analytical psychology and will be of great interest for academics researchers and post-graduate students interested in the use of imagination and mental imagery in analysis psychotherapy and counselling. The book’s historical focus will be of particular relevance to Jungian and Desoillian scholars since it is the first of its kind to trace the connections between the two schools and it gives a detailed account of Desoille’s early life and his first written works. This book was a Gradiva Award nominee for 2021. | Jung's Technique of Active Imagination and Desoille's Directed Waking Dream Method Bridging the Divide

Shakespeare's Tempest and Capitalism The Storm of History

Shakespeare's Tempest and Capitalism The Storm of History

In this forceful study Helen C. Scott situates The Tempest within Marxist analyses of the ‘primitive accumulation’ of capital which she suggests help explain the play’s continued and particular resonance. The ‘storm’ of the title refers both to Shakespeare’s Tempest hurtling through time and to Walter Benjamin’s concept of history as a succession of violent catastrophes. Scott begins with an account of the global processes of dispossession—of the peasantry and indigenous populations—accompanying the emergence of capitalism which generated new class relationships new understandings of human subjectivity and new forms of oppression around race gender and disability. Developing a detailed reading of the play at its moment of production in the business of theatre in 1611 Scott then moves gracefully through the global reception history showing how its central thematic concerns and figurative patterns bespeak the upheavals and dispossessions of successive stages of capitalist development. Paying particular attention to moments of social crisis and unearthing a radical political tradition Scott follows the play from its hostile takeover in the Restoration through its revival by the Romantics and consolidation and contestation in the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century transatlantic modernism generated an acutely dystopic Tempest then during the global transformations of the 1960s postcolonial writers permanently associated it with decolonization. At century’s end the play became a vehicle for exploring intersectional oppression and the remarkable ‘Sycorax school’ featured iconoclastic readings by writers such as Abena Busia May Joseph and Sylvia Wynter. Turning to both popular culture and high-profile stage productions in the twenty-first century Scott explores the ramifications and figurative potential of Shakespeare's Tempest for global social and ecological crises today. Sensitive to the play’s original concerns and informed by recent scholarship on performance and reception history as well as disability studies Scott’s moving analysis impels readers towards a fresh understanding of sea-change and metamorphosis as potent symbols for the literal and figurative tempests of capitalism’s old age now threatening ‘the great globe itself. ’ | Shakespeare's Tempest and Capitalism The Storm of History

The Art of Listening

The Art of Listening

Originally published in 1986. This collection of essays is unified by one leading idea: that the active and creative abilities of listeners and readers deserve as much attention as the skills of speakers and writers. It is shown that hearers far from being passive recipients in the communicative process are in fact active in selecting interpreting and creating from the disparate signals they receive. Equally readers are involved in creating individual patterns of significance from a text. In presenting this argument some essays deal with the importance of gender considerations some with special modes of writing such as the private diary and literary translations and others with the more familiar fields of poetry and drama. In the sphere of popular music distinctions such as ‘folk’ and ‘pop’ indicate special problems in assessing the ‘authenticity’ of a listener’s response. By concentrating on active listening the collection develops and illustrates the conviction that there are fundamental premises underlying the various disciplines under review the analysis of which makes for a fuller understanding of communication in all its forms. | The Art of Listening

The Syntax of the Albanian Verb Complex

The Syntax of the Albanian Verb Complex

This work first published in 1985 is an analysis of the syntax of the Albanian verb complex. The term verb complex is defined here as the verb stem and its conjugational endings together with the perfect auxiliaries and verb clitics. In a wider sense the verb includes the verb and its central arguments: subject direct object and indirect object. The analysis is presented in a somewhat expanded version of the relational grammar framework of Perlmutter and Postal (1977). It is argued that by assuming the existence of multiple levels in the syntactic structure of a clause it is possible to account for the distribution of active and non-active verb forms over the various constructions of Albanian with a single generalisation. This title will be of interest to students of language and linguistics.

Walter Scott's Books Reading the Waverley Novels

Walter Scott's Books Reading the Waverley Novels

Scott's Books is an approachable introduction to the Waverley Novels. Drawing on substantial research in Scott's intertextual sources it offers a fresh approach to the existing readings where the thematic and theoretical are the norm. Avoiding jargon and moving briskly it tackles the vexed question of Scott's 'circumbendibus' style head on suggesting that it is actually one of the most exciting aspects of his fiction: indeed what Ian Duncan has called the 'elaborately literary narrative' at first sight a barrier is in a sense what the novels are primarily 'about'. The book aims to show how inventive witty and entertaining Scott's richly allusive style is; how he keeps his varied readership on board with his own inexhaustible variety; and how he allows proponents of a wide range of positions to have their say using a detached ironic but never cynical narrative voice to undermine the more rigid and inhumane rhetoric. The Introduction outlines this approach and sets the book in the context of earlier and current Scott criticism. It also deals with some practical issues including forms of reference and the distinctive use of the term 'Authorial'. The four chapters are designed to zoom in progressively from the general to the particular. 'Resources' explores the printed material available to Scott in his library and gives an overview of the way he uses it in his fiction. 'Style' confronts objections to the 'circumbendibus' Scott and shows how his Ciceronian style with its penchant for polysyllables enables him to embrace a wide range of rhetoric relayed in a detached but not cynical Authorial voice. 'Strategies' explores how he keeps his very wide audience on board by a complex bonding between characters readers and Author and stresses the extraordinary variety of exuberant inventiveness with which he handles intertextual allusions. 'Mottoes' examines the most remarkable of Scott's intertextual devices the chapter epigraphs bringing i | Walter Scott's Books Reading the Waverley Novels
