Children and Yiddish Literature From Early Modernity to Post-Modernity

Children and Yiddish Literature From Early Modernity to Post-Modernity

Children have occupied a prominent place in Yiddish literature since early modern times but children’s literature as a genre has its beginnings in the early 20th century. Its emergence reflected the desire of Jewish intellectuals to introduce modern forms of education and promote ideological agendas both in Eastern Europe and in immigrant communities elsewhere. Before the Second World War a number of publishing houses and periodicals in Europe and the Americas specialized in stories novels and poems for various age groups. Prominent authors such as Yankev Glatshteyn Der Nister Joseph Opatoshu Leyb Kvitko made original contributions to the genre while artists such as Marc Chagall El Lissitzky and Yisakhar Ber Rybak also took an active part. In the Soviet Union meanwhile children’s literature provided an opportunity to escape strong ideological pressure. Yiddish children’s literature is still being produced today both for secular and strongly Orthodox communities. This volume is a pioneering collective study not only of children’s literature but of the role played by children in literature. | Children and Yiddish Literature From Early Modernity to Post-Modernity

Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions Display Identity and Narrative

Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions Display Identity and Narrative

Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions offers an in-depth analysis of the multiple roles that exhibition graphics perform in contemporary museums and exhibitions. Drawing on a study of exhibitions that took place at the Victoria and Albert Museum London the Museum of London and the Haus der Geschichte Bonn Piehl brings together approaches from museum studies design practice and narrative theory to examine museum exhibitions as multimodal narratives in which graphics account for one set of narrative resources. The analysis underlines the importance of aspects such as accessibility and at the same time problematises conceptualisations that focus only on the effectiveness of graphics as display device by drawing attention to the contributions that graphics make towards the content on display and to the ways in which it is experienced in the museum space. Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions argues for a critical reading of and engagement with exhibition graphic design as part of wider debates around meaning-making in museum studies and exhibition-making practice. As such the book should be essential reading for academics researchers and students from the fields of museum and design studies. Practitioners such as exhibition designers graphic designers curators and other exhibition makers should also find much to interest them in the book. | Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions Display Identity and Narrative

Embodied Trauma and Healing Critical Conversations on the Concept of Health

Embodied Trauma and Healing Critical Conversations on the Concept of Health

What if philosophy could solve the psychological puzzle of trauma? Embodied Trauma and Healing argues just that suggesting that one might be needed in order to understand the other. The book demonstrates how the body-mind problem that haunted Descartes was addressed by phenomenologists whilst also proposing that the human experience is lived subjectively as embodied consciousness. Throughout this book the author suggests that the phenomenological tools that are used to explore the body can also be an effective way to discuss the physical and mental aspects of embodied trauma. Drawing on the work of Paul Ricœur Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Emmanuel Lévinas the book outlines a phenomenological approach to the embodied and relational subject. It offers a reading of embodied trauma that can connect it to wider conversations in psychological underpinnings of trauma through Peter Levine’s somatic research and Bessel van der Kolk’s embodied remembering. Connecting to the analytic tradition the book suggests that phenomenology can unify both language-based and body-based therapeutic practice. It also presents a compelling discussion that ties the embodied experience of relation in trauma to the wider causal factors of social suffering and relational rupture intergenerational trauma and the trauma of land as informed by phenomenology. Embodied Trauma and Healing is essential reading for researchers within the fields of philosophy psychology and medical humanities for it actively engages with contemporary configurations of trauma theory and recent research developments in healing and mental disorder diagnosis. | Embodied Trauma and Healing Critical Conversations on the Concept of Health
