Spectres of Reparation in South Africa Re-encountering the Truth and Reconciliation Commission

Spectres of Reparation in South Africa Re-encountering the Truth and Reconciliation Commission

This book argues that South Africa is haunted by the spectre of reparation. The failure of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission to secure adequate reparation for the victims of colonisation and apartheid continues to drastically undermine the commission’s processes and legacy. Investigating the TRC’s key processes of amnesty archiving and forgiveness in turn the book demonstrates that each process is fundamentally thwarted by the terminal lack of reparation. These multiple forms of the spectre of reparation haunt post-apartheid society in deeply traumatogenic ways. The book proposes a new ethic of reparative citizenship as a means of encountering the spectres of reparation in a productive and transformative manner generating hope even in the face of the irreparable. This book will be an important read for South Africans interested in overcoming the impasses and injustices that haunt the country but it will also be of interest to post-conflict transitional justice and politics researchers more broadly. | Spectres of Reparation in South Africa Re-encountering the Truth and Reconciliation Commission

The Life-Death Instinct Feeling Through Creative-Clinical Moments

The Life-Death Instinct Feeling Through Creative-Clinical Moments

Throughout this enlightening collection Neil Maizels considers the helical tandem between the Life Instinct and the Death drive in the light of canonical literary figures like Thomas Hardy Patricia Highsmith Sylvia Plath and Shakespeare classic filmmakers like Hitchcock and contemporary television shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm The West Wing and Succession. This light is filtered through intricate clinical work whereby Maizels seeks to illustrate and expound on the strength and indefatigability of the Life Instinct. He makes a case for it as the relentless driver of integration and “binding” in the ever-growing expansive psyche. He considers both Freud’s original equation of the Life Instinct with Eros and a widening interconnecting love of mankind and Melanie Klein’s with gratitude and creative reparation. This book is a multi-layered presentation of the clinical and theoretical work of Neil Maizels as it has evolved and convolved over several decades. It places the feeling through of one’s conflicts at the heart of the mind’s generation of a unique identity equipped to evolve its own unique form of creative spirit in the face of life’s most pressing psychological challenges: the limitation of time and reciprocated beauty. The Life-Death Instinct: Feeling Through Creative-Clinical Moments is important reading for anyone seeking to expand their knowledge in this fascinating intersection of psychoanalysis and the arts. | The Life-Death Instinct Feeling Through Creative-Clinical Moments
