Territorial Politics and the Party System in Spain: Continuity and change since the financial crisis

Territorial Politics and the Party System in Spain: Continuity and change since the financial crisis

Across Western Europe the global financial crisis of 2008 and its aftermath not only brought economic havoc but also in turn intense political upheaval. Many of the political manifestations of the crisis seen in other Western and especially Southern European countries also hit Spain where challenger parties caused unprecedented parliamentary fragmentation resulting in four general elections in under four years from 2015 onwards. Yet Spain a decentralised state where extensive powers are devolved to 17 regions known as ‘autonomous communities’ also stood out from its neighbours due to the importance of the territorial dimension of politics in shaping the political expression of the crisis. This book explains how and why the territorial dimension of politics contributed to shaping party system continuity and change in Spain in the aftermath of the financial crisis with a particular focus on party behaviour. The territorial dimension encompasses the demands for ever greater autonomy or even sovereignty coming from certain parties within the historic regions of the Basque Country Catalonia and to a lesser extent Galicia. It also encompasses where these historic regions sit within the broader dynamics of intergovernmental relations across Spain’s 17 autonomous communities in total and how these dynamics contribute to shaping party strategies and behaviour in Spain. Such features became particularly salient in the aftermath of the financial crisis since this coincided with and indeed accelerated the rise of the independence movement in Catalonia. | Territorial Politics and the Party System in Spain: Continuity and change since the financial crisis

Political Representation in Indonesia The Emergence of the Innovative Technocrats

Political Representation in Indonesia The Emergence of the Innovative Technocrats

This book analyses the transformation of political representation in contemporary Indonesia to argue the need to better understand how political representatives use claims to engage in storytelling about themselves and the community they represent. By adopting a new approach that focuses on the cultural and performative aspects of representation and draws on a substantive evidence base of representative claims this book examines common narratives developed by Joko Widodo Tri Rismaharini Basuki Tjahaja Purnama Ridwan Kamil and Nurdin Abdullah. Through this analysis the book highlights two key foundations of their claims: technocratic focus and innovative engagement. This study considers how the ideational power generated through the representative claim-making of these leaders interacts and competes with other forms of power. Moreover the author emphasises the success of the representative claims developed by the innovative technocrats while noting the impact their emergence has had on the broader context of Indonesian politics. An empirical monograph on new and upcoming leaders in Indonesia this book will be of interest to scholars of democracy and democratisation and political change in general and Southeast Asian politics and Indonesian politics in particular. | Political Representation in Indonesia The Emergence of the Innovative Technocrats

The Sound of the Unconscious Psychoanalysis as Music

The Sound of the Unconscious Psychoanalysis as Music

In this book Ludovica Grassi explores the importance of music in psychoanalysis arguing that music is a basic working tool for psyche as words are composed of sound rhythm and intonation more than lexical meaning. Starting from ethnomusicological evolutionary neurodevelopmental psychological and psychoanalytical perspectives the book explores music’s symbolic status structure and way of operating compared to unconscious psychic functioning. Extraordinary similarities are revealed especially in mechanisms such as repetition imitation variation (transformation) intimacy and the work of mourning of the negative and of nostalgia. Moreover silence and absence are essential components of music as well as of psychic and symbolic functioning. Time and temporality are specifically investigated in the book as key elements both in music and in symbolization and subjectivation processes. The role of the word’s phonic kernel and of the voice as fundamental links to emotions the body the sexual and the infantile has promising implications for psychoanalytic work. All these elements find an articulation in the natural as well as complex activity of listening which conveys a tri-dimensional and polyphonic dimension of the world so important both in music and in psychoanalysis. Illuminating the link between music and analysis in new and contemporary ways The Sound of the Unconscious explores the resulting advances in theory and clinical practice and will be of great interest to practicing and training psychoanalysts and psychotherapists. | The Sound of the Unconscious Psychoanalysis as Music
