Myth and Madness The Psychodynamics of Anti-Semitism

Myth and Madness The Psychodynamics of Anti-Semitism

The persistence of anti-Semitism and its current resurgence after a brief post-Holocaust suppression challenge those who study human behavior to locate the causal bases of anti-Semitism and find approaches to combat it. This is an astonishing report of a nine-year study of the psychodynamics of anti-Semitism. Undertaken by Dr. Mortimer Ostow on behalf of the Psychoanalytic Research and Development Fund it puts flesh and bones on the discussion of antisemitism in Sigmund Freud's 1939 classic theoretical study Moses and Monotheism. Its close adherence to case material and application of psychoanalytic theory to historical data and cultural products yields new insights into bigotry and equity alike. By examining prejudiced patients and their myths Dr. Ostow shows the common threads of anti-Semitism in a variety of national and cultural settings even under supposed optimal conditions when antisemitism is stringently controlled. The work uses the psychiatric approach and can be read as a study of how this area of behavioral science reveals the interplay of the individual and the group cultural background and material opportunities. The book is divided into five major segments: Psychoanalytic interpretation of anti-Semitism in the past; clinical data on anti-Semitic sentiments in a variety of personal and national settings; mythological dimensions of anti-Semitism and apocalyptic doctrines; specific anti-Semitic myths including pre-Christian early and medieval Christian racial and post-modern Muslim anti-Semitism. The final segment focuses on the pogrom mentality including the Nazi phenomenon antisemitic fundamentalism and black anti-Semitism. Myth and Madness is informed by an amazing breadth of learning: from biblical exegesis to modern sociology from close attention to mundane patients to evaluating mythic claims of the loftiest and at times most dangerous sort. This is a landmark effort one that will be the touchstone for theoretical and clinical works to come. | Myth and Madness The Psychodynamics of Anti-Semitism

White Supremacy Racism and the Coloniality of Anti-Trafficking

White Supremacy Racism and the Coloniality of Anti-Trafficking

Global efforts to combat human trafficking are ubiquitous and reference particular ideas about unfreedoms suffering and rescue. The discourse has however a distinct racialized legacy that is lodged specifically in fears about white slavery women in prostitution and migration and the defilement of white womanhood by the criminal and racialized Other. White Supremacy Racism and the Coloniality of Anti-Trafficking centers the legacies of race and racism in contemporary anti-trafficking work and examines them in greater detail. A number of recent arguments have suggested that race and racism are not only visible but vital to the success of contemporary anti- trafficking discourses and movements. The contributors offer recent scholarship grounded in critical anti- racist perspectives that reveal the historical and contemporary racial working of anti- trafficking discourses and practices globally—and how these intersect with gender citizenship sexuality caste and class formations and the global political economy.

Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment

Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment

This book charts the new phase of global struggles around gender equality and sexual democracy: the ultraconservative mobilization against gender ideology and feminist efforts to counteract it. It argues that anti-gender campaigns which emerged around 2010 in Europe are not a simple continuation of the anti-feminist backlash dating back to the 1970s but part of a new political configuration. Opposition to gender has become a key element of the rise of right-wing populism which successfully harnesses the anxiety shame and anger caused by neoliberalism and threatens to destroy liberal democracy. Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment offers a novel conceptualization of the relationship between the ultraconservative anti-gender movement and right-wing populist parties examining the opportunistic synergy between these actors. The authors map the anti-gender campaigns as a global movement putting the Polish case in a comparative perspective. They show that the anti-gender rhetoric is best understood as a reactionary critique of neoliberalism as a socio-cultural formation. The book also studies the recent wave of feminist mass mobilizations viewing the transnational revolt of women as a left populist movement. This is an important study for those doing research in politics cultural studies gender and sexuality studies and sociology. It will also be useful for activists and policy makers.

Ireland Slavery Anti-Slavery and Empire

Ireland Slavery Anti-Slavery and Empire

Although the significance of transatlantic currents of influence on slavery and abolition in the Americas has received substantial scholarly attention the focus has tended to be largely on the British transatlantic or on the effects of American racial politics on the emergence of Irish American political identity in the US. The specifics of Ireland’s role as a transnational hub of anti-slavery literary and political activity and as deeply imbricated in debates around slavery and freedom are often overlooked. This collection points to the particularity and significance of Ireland’s place in nineteenth-century exchanges around slavery and anti-slavery. Importantly it foregrounds the context of empire – Ireland was both one of the ‘home’ nations of the UK on many levels deeply complicit in British imperialism and a space of emergent anti-colonial radicalism bourgeois nationalism and significant literary opportunity for Black abolitionist writers – as a key mediator of the ways in which the conceptual and practical responses to slavery and anti-slavery took shape in the Irish context. Moving beyond the transatlantic model often used to position debates around slavery in the Americas it incorporates discussion around campaigns to abolish slavery within the empire opening up the possibility of wider comparative discussions of slavery and anti-slavery around the Indian Ocean and the African continent. It also emphasizes the plurality of positions in play across class political racial and national lines and the ways in which those positions shifted in response to changing social cultural and economic conditions. This book was originally published as a special issue of Slavery & Abolition: A Journal of Slave and Post-Slave Studies. | Ireland Slavery Anti-Slavery and Empire

The Feminist Architecture of Postmodern Anti-Tales Space Time and Bodies

The Feminist Architecture of Postmodern Anti-Tales Space Time and Bodies

This monograph aims to counter the assumption that the anti-tale is a ‘subversive twin’ or dark side of the fairy tale coin instead it argues that the anti-tale is a genre rich in complexity and radical potential that fundamentally challenges the damaging ideologies and socializing influence of fairy tales. The Feminist Architecture of Postmodern Anti-Tales: Space Time and Bodies highlights how anti-tales take up timely debates about revising old structures opening our minds up to a broader spectrum of experience or ways of viewing the world and its inhabitants. They show us alternative architectures for the future by deconstructing established spatio-temporal laws and structures as well as limited ideas surrounding the body and ultimately liberate us from the shackles of a single-minded and simplistic masculine reality currently upheld by dominant social forces and patriarchal fairy tales themselves. It is only when these masculine fairy tales and social architectures are deconstructed that new more inclusive feminine realities and futures can be brought into being. | The Feminist Architecture of Postmodern Anti-Tales Space Time and Bodies

Anti-Americanism and American Exceptionalism Prejudice and Pride about the USA

Anti-Americanism and American Exceptionalism Prejudice and Pride about the USA

This book argues against the tendency to see America as the worst or best nation and instead presents a case for seeing anti-Americanism as a counterproductive prejudice. There are many reasons to criticise American policies politics and even society but a crucial distinction must be drawn between criticism and prejudice.

The Anti-Oedipus Complex Lacan Critical Theory and Postmodernism

The Anti-Oedipus Complex critically explores the post-‘68 dramatic developments in Freudo-Lacanian psychoanalysis and cultural theory. Beginning with the decline of patriarchy and the master exemplified by Freud’s paean for the Father the revolutionary path was blown wide open by anti-psychiatry schizoanalysis and radical politics the complex antinomies of which are traced here in detail with the help of philosophers such as Nietzsche Baudrillard Levinas Steiner Žižek Badiou Derrida and Girard as well as theologians analysts writers musicians and film makers. In this book Rob Weatherill starting from the clinic considers the end of hierarchies the loss of the Other new subjectivities so-called ‘creative destruction’ the power of negative thinking revolutionary action divine violence and new forms of extreme control. Where does this leave the psychoanalytic clinic – adrift in postmodern indifference? Does the engagement of the Radical Orthodoxy movement offer some hope? Or should we re-situate psychoanalysis within a ‘genealogy of responsibility’ (Patočka / Derrida) as it emerges out of the sacred demonic via Plato and Christianity?

A COUNTERNARRATIVE This groundbreaking book uncovers how anti-Black racism has informed and perpetuated anti-literacy laws policies and customs from the colonial period to the present day. As a counternarrative of the history of Black literacy in the United States the book’s historical lens reveals the interlocking political and social structures that have repeatedly failed to support equity in literacy for Black students. Arlette Ingram Willis walks readers through the impact of anti-Black racism’s impact on literacy education by identifying and documenting the unacknowledged history of Black literacy education one that is inextricably bound up with a history of White supremacy. Willis analyzes exposes illuminates and interrogates incontrovertible historical evidence of the social political and legal efforts to deny equal literacy access. The chapters cover an in-depth evolution of the role of White supremacy and the harm it causes in forestalling Black readers’ progress; a critical examination of empirical research and underlying ideological assumptions that resulted in limiting literacy access; and a review of federal and state documents that restricted reading access for Black people. Willis interweaves historical vignettes throughout the text as antidotes to whitewashing the history of literacy among Black people in the United States and offers recommendations on ways forward to dismantle racist reading research and laws. By centering the narrative on the experiences of Black people in the United States Willis shifts the conversation and provides an uncompromising focus on not only the historical impact of such laws and policies but also their connections to present-day laws and policies. A definitive history of the instructional and legal structures that have harmed generations of Black people this text is essential for scholars students and policymakers in literacy education reading research history of education and social justice education. | Anti-Black Literacy Laws and Policies
