New Technology in Sociology Practical Applications in Research and Work

New Technology in Sociology Practical Applications in Research and Work

When technology has been applied in business environments its justification has usually been cast in terms of saving time or saving money. In the social sciences the justification must be different; the viability of sociology as a profession for example will not be enhanced by cost reductions. The focus in this volume is on a different bottom line: the quality and content of work. | New Technology in Sociology Practical Applications in Research and Work

Lalangue Sinthome Jouissance and Nomination A Reading Companion and Commentary on Lacan's Seminar XXIII on the Sinthome

Lalangue Sinthome Jouissance and Nomination A Reading Companion and Commentary on Lacan's Seminar XXIII on the Sinthome

This reading companion and commentary on Lacan Seminar XXIII provides detailed analyses of Lacan's seminar while maintaining an overall continuity and consistency. This book does not purport to provide an exhaustive and systematic line-by-line reading of a very complex and varied seminar. Rather it selects key themes of Lacanian theory that are found present throughout his work. In addition the book does not try to simplify Lacan's ambiguous style leaving the text open to different interpretations while providing theory commentary and lines of analysis into some of Lacan's important insights. Finally this book is not about Joyce the writer but more about the use that Lacan makes of Joyce. Its purpose is not to apply psychoanalysis to a literary subject but rather to use the literary text to illustrate and develop psychoanalytic theory and Lacanian theory in particular. It is an analysis of topology and language or a linguisterie as Lacan called it for clinicians. | Lalangue Sinthome Jouissance and Nomination A Reading Companion and Commentary on Lacan's Seminar XXIII on the Sinthome

Pivotal Lines in Shakespeare and Others Finding the Heart of the Play

Pivotal Lines in Shakespeare and Others Finding the Heart of the Play

Sidney Homan defines a pivotal line as “a moment in the script that serves as a pathway into the larger play … a magnet to which the rest of the play scenes before and after adheres. ” He offers his personal choices of such lines in five plays by Shakespeare and works by Beckett Brecht Pinter Shepard and Stoppard. Drawing on his own experience in the theatre as actor and director and on campus as a teacher and scholar he pairs a Shakespearean play with one by a modern playwright as mirrors for each other. One reviewer calls his approach “ground-breaking. ” Another observes that his “experience with the particular plays he has chosen is invaluable” since it allows us to find “a wedge into such iconic texts. ” Academics and students alike will find this volume particularly useful in aiding their own discovery of a pivotal line or moment in the experience of reading about watching or performing in a play. | Pivotal Lines in Shakespeare and Others Finding the Heart of the Play

Personality in the Social Process

Personality in the Social Process

First published in 1985. This book presents a new way to ask an old question. Many fields have considered the nature of the influence that members of a group exert on the course of social events. Social science provides another way to examine this issue. Moreover social science has a particular strength: It helps us to phrase questions more precisely than before it encourages us to follow a line of rea­soning systematically and it requires us to evaluate our ideas in light of a par­ticular kind of evidence. The authors want to use these strengths to explore systematically the ways that factors in the person and in the environment to­gether may shape the emergence of social behavior. | Personality in the Social Process
