Indiana University Press Volatile Bodies
Book SynopsisDemonstrates that the sexually specific body is socially constructed: biology or nature is not opposed to or in conflict with culture. Examining the theories of Freud, Lacan, Merleau-Ponty, Foucault, Deleuze, Derrida, and more on the subject of the body, this title concludes that the body they theorize is male.Trade Review"... one of the best cultural studies books on theories of the body." - Passion " ... Grosz writes a thorough and philosophically well-crafted prolegomenon for a new corporeal feminism." - Signs "Working through an impressive range of theories, it raises important questions and ventures into new terrain which invites further exploration."- Rocky Mountain Review " ... a must-read for feminist scholars and for any serious scholar of the body." - Review "Volatile Bodies is an enlightening and critically significant addition to feminist discussions of embodiment, sexuality, and difference." - Masculinities "This is a lucidly written study, which sets out debates clearly for those not familiar with the field, while being impressive in its erudition." - Radical Philosophy "This is a text of rare erudition and intellectual force. It will not only introduce feminist to an enriching set of theoretical perspectives but set a high critical standard for feminist dialogues on the body." - Judith Butler "Because it both offers arms for counterviolence and a sharply critical read of the philosophical foundations of much of the new critical work in anthropology, the book is highly recommended ..." - American Anthropologist Elizabeth Grosz examines the corporeal experiences unique to women- menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, lactation, menopause- to lay the groundwork for new theories of sexed corporeality.Table of ContentsIntroduction and AcknowledgmentsPart I.

Indiana University Press Yuri Norstein and Tale of Tales An Animators
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewClare Kitson has written an exemplary book . . . The tale she tells sheds light on the origins and makings of the images, on their relation to Norstein's life and to Russian culture, to other works of art (poems and paintings) and to the troubled culture of censorship. She illuminates, and deepens the mystery, leaving the power of the images intact and strengthened, which is what good criticism should do. -- A.S. Byatt * The Guardian (U.K.) *

Indiana University Press A History of the IsraeliPalestinian Conflict
Book SynopsisAn expanded and up-to-date edition of this classic historyTrade ReviewOf the numerous books devoted to the ISraeli-Palestinian conflict, Univ. of Michigan political science professor Tessler's contribution certainly ranks among the most extensive and thorough.

WW Norton & Co Gran Cocina Latina The Food of Latin America
Book SynopsisThe 2013 James Beard Foundation Cookbook of the Year How to cook everything Latin American.Trade Review"This extraordinary masterwork could only have been written by someone with an academic’s patience and sense of history and tradition. Vastly detailed and rich with anthropological, historical, and cultural information, I refer to this book first anytime I want to learn or better understand anything about Latin cuisine." -- Samin Nosrat, author of Salt Fat Acid Heat"This book not only answers the how but the why as well. Maricel is our bridge to the past, the history of Latin American cocina, describing the original connections to Spain and its cooking and then what has evolved... more aromas, more textures, more flavors, more sexy ingredients. We can now understand Latin America better because of Maricel and the amazing foods that tell its rich history." -- José Andrés"I know of no other book that approaches the scholarship, passion and decades-long dedication that Maricel Presilla has lavished on Gran Cocina Latina." -- Rick Bayless"Gran Cocina Latina is a book as grand as its subject. It’s a beautifully written distillation of Maricel Presilla’s decades of experience in the markets and kitchens of Latin America. I can’t imagine a better guide to this vast and underappreciated region. Maricel is a scholar, food importer, restaurateur, tireless explorer, and above all is passionate about everything she does. Gran Cocina Latina explains clearly how to bring the special flavors of Latin America to our own tables." -- Harold McGee"Books like this don’t happen very often so drink it in and know it will still be in your kitchen ten years from now." -- Lynne Rossetto Kasper, Host of The Splendid Table®, public radio's national food show from American Public Media"The food of the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking New World is complex, intricate, and has variety and range, extending from Cuba to Ecuador and from Mexico to Brazil. Maricel Presilla, a chef and food historian, takes us through that whole continent in a comprehensible, intelligent, original, and delicious voyage." -- Jacques Pépin"[A] serious but accessible study." -- Pete Wells - New York Times

Stanford University Press Merchants of Knowledge
Book SynopsisBetween 1450 and 1550, a remarkable century of intellectual exchange developed across the Eastern Mediterranean. As Renaissance Europe depended on knowledge from the Ottoman Empire, and the courts of Mehmed the Conqueror and Bayezid II greatly benefitted from knowledge coming out of Europe, merchants of knowledgemultilingual and transregional Jewish scholarsbecame an important bridge among the powers. With this book, Robert Morrison is the first to track the network of scholars who mediated exchanges in astronomy, astrology, Qabbalah, and philosophy. Their books, manuscripts, and acts of translation all held economic value, thus commercial and intellectual exchange commingledknowledge became transactional as these merchants exchanged texts for more intellectual material and social capital. While parallels between medieval Islamic astronomy and the famous heliocentric arrangement posited by Copernicus are already known, Morrison reveals far deeper networks of intellectual exchange that extended well beyond theoretical astronomy and shows how religion, science, and philosophy, areas that will eventually develop into separate fields, were once interwoven. The Renaissance portrayed in Merchants of Knowledge is not, from the perspective of the Ottoman Muslim contacts of the Jewish merchants of knowledge, hegemonic. It's a Renaissance permeated by diversity, the cultural and political implications of which the West is only now waking up to.

John Wiley & Sons Clinical Hypnosis for Pain Control A
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive guide shows how integrating hypnosis with psychotherapy and mindful meditation can help clinicians treat patients who suffer from chronic and acute pain. David R. Patterson and M. Elena Mendoza present hypnotic analgesia as a viable alternative to psychopharmacological interventions for pain resulting from physical injuries, nerve damage, surgery, neurological problems, and other sources. They review research elucidating the neurophysiological and biopsychosocial roots of pain and provide clinical strategies that can be applied in a variety of settings. Patterson and Mendoza adopt a nuanced treatment model that deemphasizes pain reduction, which can be counterproductive, and focuses instead on adaptive pain management through cognitive restructuring. This second edition includes updated research findings and practice guidelines, including technological innovations like virtual reality hypnosis, and a new chapter on mindful meditation. The authors also add a step-by-step case example that walks readers through an integrative, eight-session process and brings the techniques described in this volume to life.

Stanford University Press The Time That Remains A Commentary on the Letter
Book SynopsisAgamben seeks to separate the Pauline texts from the history of the Church that canonized them, thus revealing them to be "the fundamental messianic texts of the West." He argues that Paul's Letters are concerned not with the foundation of a new religion but rather with the "messianic" abolition of Jewish law.Trade Review"The Time that Remains presents itself as an exegetical seminar on the opening line of the Letter to the Romans ("Paul, called as a slave of Jesus the Messiah, separated as apostle for the announcement of God")... Agamben's insightful close reading of the Pauline corpus sets this book apart from the more free-range grazing over the text modeled by Badiou and iek."—Radical Philosophy Review"Agamben, through the close reading of Pauline letter and the comparison of W.

Stanford University Press World and Life as One
Book SynopsisThis book explores in detail the relation between ontology and ethics in the early work of Ludwig Wittgenstein, notably the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and, to a lesser extent, the Notebooks, 1914-1916. Requiring no prior knowledge of Wittgenstein's thought, it is the first book-length argument that his views on ethics decisively shaped his ontological and semantic thought.Trade Review"This is an outstanding book. Owing to its broad and balanced scope, I know of no better book on the Tractatus. It is unique in covering in depth both the ontological-technical aspects and the ethical parts of that work." -- Göran Sundholm * Leyden University *

Pluto Press Crack Capitalism
Book SynopsisA groundbreaking guide to moving beyond capitalism, which shows that radical change can only come from exploiting 'cracks' in the system.Trade Review'Infectiously optimistic' -- Steven Poole, the GuardianTable of ContentsPart I Break 1. Break. We want to break. We want to create a different world. Now. Nothing more common. Nothing more obvious. Nothing more simple. Nothing more difficult. 2. Our method is the method of the crack. 3. It is time to learn the new language of a new struggle. Part II Cracks: The Anti-Politics of Dignity 4. The cracks begin with a No, from which there grows a dignity, a negation-and-creation. 5. A crack is the perfectly ordinary creation of a space or moment in which we assert a different type of doing. 6. Cracks break dimensions, break dimensionality. 7. Cracks are explorations in an anti-politics of dignity. Part III Cracks on the Edge of Impossibility 8. Dignity is our weapon against a world of destruction. 9. Cracks clash with the social synthesis of capitalism. 10. Cracks exist on the edge of impossibility, but they do exist. Moving they exist: dignity is a fleet-footed dance. Part IV The Dual Character of Labour 11. The cracks are the revolt of one form of doing against another: the revolt of doing against labour. 12. The abstraction of doing into labour is the weaving of capitalism. 13. The abstraction of doing into labour is a historical process of transformation that created the social synthesis of capitalism: primitive accumulation. Part V Abstract Labour: The Great Enclosure 14. Abstract labour encloses both our bodies and our minds. 15. The abstraction of doing into labour is a process of personification, the creation of character masks, the formation of the working class. 16. The abstraction of doing into labour is the creation of the male labourer and the dimorphisation of sexuality. 17. The abstraction of doing into labour is the constitution of nature as object. 18. The abstraction of doing into labour is the externalisation of our power –to-do and the creation of the citizen, politics and the state. 19. The abstraction of doing into labour is the homogenisation of time. 20. The abstraction of doing into labour is the creation of totality. 21. Abstract labour rules: The abstraction of doing into labour is the creation of a cohesive law-bound totality sustained by the exploitation of labour. 22. The labour movement is the movement of abstract labour. Part VI The Crisis of Abstract Labour 23. Abstraction is not just a past but also a present process. 24. Concrete doing overflows from abstract labour: it exists in-against-and-beyond abstract labour. 25. Doing is the crisis of abstract labour 26. The breakthrough of doing against labour throws us into a new world of struggle. Part VII Doing against Labour: the melodies of interstitial revolution 27. Doing dissolves totality, synthesis, value. 28. Doing is the moving of the mulier abscondita against character masks. We are the mulier abscondita. 29. Doing dissolves the homogenisation of time. Part VIII A Time of Birth? 30. We are the forces of production: our power is the power of doing. 31. We are the crisis of capitalism, the misfitting-overflowing of our power-to-do, the breakthrough of another world, perhaps. 32. Stop Making Capitalism Index
