Lying in the Dark Room Architectures of British Maternity

Lying in the Dark Room Architectures of British Maternity

Lying in the Dark Room: Architectures of British Maternity returns to and reflects on the spatial and architectural experience of childbirth through both a critical history of maternity spaces and a creative exploration of those we use today. Where conventional architectural histories objectify buildings (in parallel with the objectification of the maternal body) the book—in the mode of creative practice research—presents a creative-critical autotheory of the architecture of lying-in. It uses feminist subjective modes of thinking that travel across disciplines registers and arguments. The book assesses the transformation of maternity spaces—from the female bedchamber of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century marital homes to the lying-in hospitals of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries purposely built by man-midwives to the late twentieth-century spaces of home and the modern hospital maternity wing—and the parallel shifts in maternal practices. The spaces are not treated as mute or neutral backdrops to maternal history but as a series of vital entangled atmospheres materials practices and objects that are produced by and in turn produce particular social and political conditions gendered structures and experiences. Moving across spaces systems protagonists and their subjectivities the book shows how hospital design and protocol altered ordinary birth at home and continues to shape maternal spatial experience today. As such it will be of interest to a wide range of readers from architectural historians theoreticians designers and students to medical humanities historians to English Literature humanities and material studies scholars as well as those interested in creative-critical writing. | Lying in the Dark Room Architectures of British Maternity

Contributions of Self Psychology to Group Psychotherapy Selected Papers

Contributions of Self Psychology to Group Psychotherapy Selected Papers

Stone's central interests include the development of the self empathy narcissism shame envy rage and the group-self. He is concerned with several aspects of clinical technique and is especially sensitive to our co-creation of so-called difficult patients. His understanding of dreams as both personal and group products which manifest visual narratives will be of particular interest to students of the social and collective unconscious. Stone's work with narcissistic and borderline patients developed in parallel with his work with the chronically mentally ill who are often institutionalised. He demonstrates that group therapy for such patients is not only a matter of containment and holding in the service of administrative control but also involves interpretative work based on an understanding of the primary need for a good enough self-object. | Contributions of Self Psychology to Group Psychotherapy Selected Papers

Horizontal Art History and Beyond Revising Peripheral Critical Practices

Horizontal Art History and Beyond Revising Peripheral Critical Practices

This book is devoted to the concept of horizontal art history—a proposal of a paradigm shift formulated by the Polish art historian Piotr Piotrowski (1952–2015)—that aims at undermining the hegemony of the discourse of art history created in the Western world. The concept of horizontal art history is one of many ideas on how to conduct nonhierarchical art historical analysis that have been developed in different geopolitical locations since at least the 1970s parallel to the ongoing process of decolonization. This book is a critical examination of horizontal art history which provokes a discussion on the original concept of horizontal art history and possible methods to extend it. This is an edited volume written by international scholars who acknowledge the importance of the concept share its basic assumptions and are aware both of its advantages and limitations. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history art historiography and postcolonial studies. | Horizontal Art History and Beyond Revising Peripheral Critical Practices

Ghazālī’s Epistemology A Critical Study of Doubt and Certainty

Ghazālī’s Epistemology A Critical Study of Doubt and Certainty

Focusing on Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 1111) – one of the foremost scholars and authorities in the Muslim world who is central to the Islamic intellectual tradition – this book embarks on a study of doubt (shakk) and certainty (yaqīn) in his epistemology. The book looks at Ghazālī’s attitude to philosophical demonstration and Sufism as a means to certainty. In early scholarship surrounding Ghazālī he has often been blamed as the one who single-handedly offered the death-blow to philosophy in the Muslim world. In much of contemporary scholarship Ghazālī is understood to prefer philosophy as the ultimate means to certainty granting Sufism a secondary status. Hence much of previous scholarship has either focused on Ghazālī as a Sufi or as a philosopher; this book takes a parallel approach and acknowledges each discipline in its right place. It analyses Ghazālī’s approach to acquiring certainty his methodological scepticism his foundationalism his attitude to authoritative instruction (taʿlim) and the place of philosophical demonstration and Sufism in his epistemology. Offering a systematic and comprehensive approach to Ghazālī’s epistemology this book is a valuable resource for scholars of Islamic philosophy and Sufism in particular and for educated readers of Islamic studies in general. | Ghazālī’s Epistemology A Critical Study of Doubt and Certainty

Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

The subject of this book is accurately defined by its subtitle. Music in a New Found Land does not pretend to be a comprehensive history of American music. Nor does Mellers strive to catalog what he considers to be authentic American music. Instead he deals in some detail with comparatively few composers most of whom have wellestablished reputations. It has always been difficult to separate American music from its immediate relevance to the twentieth century. Mellers' theme involves the relationship between art music jazz and pop music; he sees the segregation of these genres as both illogical and artifi cial. If the pop music of Tin Pan Alley may be anti-art it has also produced Gershwin Ellington and composing improvisers such as Louis Armstrong Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. The study of American music is as relevant into any inquiry into a national culture as the study of American literature and painting. This book contains a large number of quotations from American writers because Mellers thought American sensibility should parallel reinforce and comment on American music. In sum this is the closest available one-volume history of American music and a window into American culture. | Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Reading Paul Howard: The Art of Ross O’Carroll Kelly offers a thorough examination of narrative devices satirical modes cultural context and humour in Howard’s texts. The volume argues that his academic critical neglect is due to a classic bifurcation in Irish Studies between high and popular culture and it will use the thought of Pierre Bourdieu Sigmund Freud Mikhail Bakhtin and Jacques Derrida to critique this division building a theoretical platform from which to examine the significance of Howard’s work as an Irish comic and satirical writer. Addressing both the style and the substance of his work this text locates him in a tradition of Irish satirical writing that dates back to the Gaelic bards and it includes writers like Swift Wilde Flann O’Brien and Joyce. Through textual and contextual analysis this book makes the case for Howard as a significant and original voice in Irish writing whose fusion of the three traditional types of satire (Horatian Juvenalian and Menippean) has created a parallel Ireland that shines a satirical light on its real counterpart. As Freud suggests humour is a way of accessing aspects of the psyche that normative discourses cannot enunciate and Howard through the confessional voice of Ross offers a fictive truth on 20 years of Irish society a truth that is not accessed by discourse in the public sphere or by what could be termed literary or high cultural fiction. | Reading Paul Howard The Art of Ross O'Carroll-Kelly

Experiential Visualization in Architectural Design Media How It Actually Works

Experiential Visualization in Architectural Design Media How It Actually Works

Experimental Visualization in Architectural Design Media: How It Actually Works is a theoretical practical and interdisciplinary account of the tools used by architects and designers. The book focuses on the how these tools influence their ability to envision and craft the future experiential reality of buildings and environments. The book is structured around two parallel sets of questions. The first concerns the effects of various media on the designer's understanding of their work in experiential terms. The media considered include the process of design-build standard media such as scale model building hand drawing drafting and extends into the now dominant digitally based design media of BIM digital modeling and emerging VR technologies such as Enscape. The second line of questioning seeks patterns of use and other attributes designers deploy in practice to achieve an experiential and meaningful understanding of their work with and through each medium. To answer these questions the author provides a detailed assessment of the pros and cons (affordance and constraint) of each form of mediation and a set of recommendations documenting how experienced designers enhance their visualization skills to support such experiential design. This work is interwoven with interdisciplinary consideration of technology perception media studies history and bolstered by the direct experiences of design professionals. This book will be of interest to researchers working in the field of architecture and design as well as practising architects designers and students who are seeking guidance on how to effectively design and consider the experience of their future built environments. | Experiential Visualization in Architectural Design Media How It Actually Works
