Columbia Global Reports The Populist Explosion
Book SynopsisFrom the author of THE POLITICS OF OUR TIMEWhat's happening in global politics, and is there a thread that ties it all together?There is, and it is called populism.What is populism? And why have populist parties and candidates suddenly sprung up and even gained power in the United States and Western Europe? The emergence of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, France''s Marine LePen, Podemos in Spain, Syriza in Greece, and the Alternative for Germany are signs that an older consensus about politics and government is breaking down.John B. Judis, one of America''s most respected political analysts, tells us why we need to understand the populist movement that began in the United States in the 1890s and whose politics have recurred on both sides of the Atlantic ever since. The Populist Explosion is essential reading for anyone hoping to grasp a global political system that is only just beginning what will be a long-running and highly consequentialTrade Review"A cogent and exceptionally clarifying guide to a political phenomenon that is at once elusive and, yes, explosive." -- Jonathan Alter, The New York Times Book Review "The Populist Explosion is far and away the most incisive examination of the central development in contemporary politics: the rise of populism on both the right and the left. John Judis, whose track record is unrivaled, is the ideal author to tackle the subject, and he has done a superb job, placing contemporary trends, including the rise of Donald Trump, in historical perspective. Judis demonstrates the crucial role of the 2008 recession both here and in Europe in discrediting the neoliberal agenda. This is must reading." -- Thomas Edsall, New York Times columnist "A sweeping narrative -- rich in historical and political argument -- that ably ties together the insurgencies on both sides of the Atlantic." -- The Nation "John Judis, in The Populist Explosion, has written a terrific short book that is a brisk tour of the horizon, of the right and left versions of populism, their history and current state, with a useful comparison of the populist upsurge in the United States and Europe." --The American Prospect "The Populist Explosion blends groundbreaking reporting with insightful scholarship in the best guide yet to the most important political phenomenon of our time." --Michael Lind, author of Land of Promise: An Economic History of the United States "John Judis demonstrates again why he is one of America's best political journalists. There is no wiser or better informed analysis of contemporary voter discontent on both sides of the Atlantic than The Populist Explosion." -- Michael Kazin, editor of Dissent, author of The Populist Persuasion: An American History and War Against War: The American Fight for Peace, 1914-1918

Taylor & Francis Ltd Inhabiting Implication in Racial Oppression and
Book SynopsisWhat does it feel like to encounter ourselves and one another as implicated subjects, both in our everyday lives and in the context of our work as clinicians, and how does this matter?With contributions from a diverse group of relational psychoanalytic thinkers, this book reads Michael Rothberg's concept of the implicated subjectthe notion that we are continuously implicated in injustices even when not perpetratorsas calling us to elaborate what it feels like to inhabit such subjectivities in relation to others both similarly and differently situated. Implication and anti-Black racism are central to many chapters, with attention given to the unique vulnerability of racial minority immigrants, to Native American genocide, and to the implication of ordinary Israelis in the oppression of Palestinians. The book makes the case that the therapist's ongoing openness to learning of our own implication in enactments is central to a relational sensibility Trade Review'As our discipline undertakes the collective responsibility imposed upon it by its method - what good are we as analysts if we cannot face ourselves? - we could have no finer accompaniment than this volume. Braiding personal reflection (some searing), theoretical elaboration, clinical work and social activism, the text becomes a place where we meet ourselves beyond the facile comforts of binary thinking. If this book leads more deeply into the knotty racial labyrinths of our historically shadowed present, it is in the belief that there is no way out but through. Psychoanalysis needs such tools for staying with the good trouble it is in.'Francisco J. González, personal and supervising analyst, co-chair of Community Psychoanalysis Track, Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California; staff psychiatrist, Instituto Familiar de la Raza'This is a book for our moment. Rachel Kabasakalian-McKay and David Mark and their colleagues have put together a collection of essays that are deeply and sensitively engaged with the myriad crises that define us - especially the crisis of racism, in the context of contemporary relational psychoanalysis. While diverse in their perspectives, the essays are united in taking up both socio-political injustices and intimate psychic dynamics: they powerfully combine emotional vulnerability and theoretical savvy. Whether focused on geopolitical conflicts or familial trauma, structural racism or the structures of educational and psychoanalytic institutions, this book helps us understand what it feels like to live in - and think through - complex forms of personal and political responsibility.'Michael Rothberg, author of The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims and Perpetrators'This is a powerful and exceptional collection of essays and articles that the editors, Rachel Kabasakalian-McKay and David Mark, have astutely assembled and one that I highly recommend. In inviting their authors to address and integrate Michael Rothberg's lens of the 'implicated subject and complex implication' they have assembled what will be an indispensable text for the field, both for training in psychoanalysis and for clinicians before and after their training. These authors, who write from a myriad of subject positions, advance how the social, historical/political, racial, cultural, class/caste, and genders/sexualities necessarily can and must be fully integrated into psychoanalytic theories and praxis. These writers offer compelling examples and experiences that prove that no one is outside of regimes of oppression and privilege, and neither is psychoanalysis nor the training institutes. After reading each chapter I am left with immense gratitude for the deep and thoughtful work that has been done and inspired to make sure this work continues.'Jill Salberg, faculty and supervisor at the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and PsychoanalysisTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd DualAspect Monism and the Deep Structure of
Book SynopsisDual-Aspect Monism and the Deep Structure of Meaning investigates the metaphysical position of dual-aspect monism, with particular emphasis on the concept of meaning as a fundamental feature of the fabric of reality. As an alternative to other positions mainly dualism, physicalism, idealism that have been proposed to understand consciousness and its place in nature, the decompositional version of dual-aspect monism considers the mental and the physical as two aspects of one underlying undivided reality that is psychophysically neutral. Inspired by analogies with modern physics and driven by its conceptual problems, Wolfgang Pauli, Carl Gustav Jung, Arthur Eddington, John Wheeler, David Bohm, and Basil Hiley are the originators of the approaches studied. A radically novel common theme in their approaches is the constitutive role of meaning and its deep structure, relating the mental and the physical to a psychophysically neutral base.The authors reconstruct the formal struTrade Review"In summary, the present book is well-written and provides a fascinating philosophical alternative to the usual suspects from metaphysics . . . It is recommended to those who feel that the problem of understanding mind and consciousness has something to do with the fundamental nature of reality itself. Its emphasis on the role of meaning in grounding this reality is novel and makes for a refreshing read."Robert Prentner, Journal of Consciousness Studies"The core argument of the book comes across clearly enough, the argument is of great philosophical and cultural importance, and the detailed discussions amply repay study. Also, this book is, to my mind, one of the most illuminating works yet published for understanding the philosophical underpinnings of Jung’s thought and its potential contributions to our current cultural situation."Roderick Main, Journal of Analytical Psychology“We have in this book a remarkable argument for the centrality of meaning in the workings of the world taken as a whole . . . While remaining grounded in careful analysis and a profound grasp of the argument’s scientific, philosophical, and psychological foundations, there is an almost mystical dimension as well . . . Atmanspacher and Rickles challenge analytical psychology and modern physics to a rich dialogue going forward.”George B.

Book SynopsisThis book takes a new approach by synthesizing the work of scholars of military and Indigenous history to provide the first chronologically ordered, region-wide, and long-term narrative history of conflict in the Early American Northeast. War and Colonization in the Early American Northeast focuses on war and society, European colonization, and Indigenous peoples in New England from the pre-Columbian era to the mid-eighteenth century. It examines how the New English used warfare against Native Americans as a way to implement a colonial order. These conflicts shaped New English attitudes toward Native Americans, which further aided in the marginalization and the violent targeting of these communities. At the same time, this volume pays attention to the experiences of Indigenous peoples. It explores pre-Columbian Native American conflict and studies how colonization altered the ways of warfare of Indigenous people. Native Americans contested New English efforts atTable of Contents1.

FUEL Publishing Brutal Bloc Postcards
Book SynopsisA collection of previously unpublished postcards from the former Eastern Bloc â sinister, funny, poignant and surreal, they depict the social and architectural values of the period. Brutal concrete hotels, futurist TV towers, heroic worker statues â this collection of Soviet era postcards documents the uncompromising landscape of the Eastern Bloc through its buildings and monuments. They are interspersed with quotes from prominent figures of the time, that both support and confound the ideologies presented in the images. In contrast to the photographs of a ruined and abandoned Soviet empire we are accustomed to seeing today, the scenes depicted here publicise the bright future of communism: social housing blocks, Palaces of Culture and monuments to Comradeship. Dating from the 1960s to the 1980s, they offer a nostalgic yet revealing insight into social and architectural values of the time, acting as a window through which we can examine cars, people, and of course

From the early settlements in the Chao Phraya basin to today, Baker and Phongpaichit trace how a world of mandarin nobles and unfree peasants was transformed by colonialism, the expansion of the rice frontier and the immigration of traders and labourers from southern China.

Taylor & Francis Gendered Bodies Social Exclusions
Book SynopsisThis book examines contemporary issues in womenâs studies and the agency of the marginalised and disenfranchised in the political, cultural, and social spheres. It uses feminist pedagogies to articulate multiple intersecting histories of class, caste, race, sexuality, disability and citizenship. Employing feminist perspectives, the book challenges the hegemonic and patriarchal logic of heteronormativity as it contextualizes verbal abuse, violence in the âprivateâ space, and tensions between women's and men's rights along the continuum between family, community, and state. The essays in this volume examine the (im)possibilities of a violence-free, caring and affordable living space on the one hand, and aim to comprehend the gendered experience of violence at the confluence of migration, cultural and sexual labour on the other. In addition to exploring the cultural taboos that restrict women's autonomy and rights, they strive to prioritise a range of voices by focusing on dancers in the entertainment industry, sexual and gender minorities, urban poor people living in slums, and disabled women. They also document and archive the academic agency of staff and students as they work to rectify the unjust conditions of higher education institutions. Part of the Contemporary Issues in Social Science Research series, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of gender studies, womenâs studies, history, political science, sociology, social anthropology, development studies, law, media studies and South Asia studies.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Playing and Vitality in Psychoanalysis
Book SynopsisBuilding on their long-lasting scientific partnership, Civitarese and Ferro offer an array of thought-provoking writings bolstered by extensive clinical material, attesting to their shared interpretation of psychoanalysis not only as a treatment for psychic suffering but also as inherently pleasurable and vitalizing. In chapters that reflect inclinations, fantasies and obsessions that are both shared and personal, and by engaging with topics various enough to include dreams, ethics, emotions and aesthetics, the authors demonstrate how the practice of psychoanalysis might no longer be an insidiously moralistic or ideological exercise but rather a practice aimed at opening up and liberating the mind. By providing detailed engagement with the work of Bion and Ogden, as well as insights from their own substantial expertise, the authors explore how the synonymous concepts of playing and vitality can meaningfully inform and change clinical psychoanalytic practice. With rich Trade Review'Written in an electrified poetic style that glitters and shivers and is drenched in intelligent and stimulating allusions, and peppered with striking images and insights, the new book by Antonino Ferro and Giuseppe Civitarese is nothing if not exciting and thought-provoking. The book conveys the liveliness and playfulness of the authors' approach to contemporary psychoanalysis and bravely presents challenges and reassessments of nuclear theoretical concepts. Playing and Vitality in Psychoanalysis crackles and sizzles and might well shake psychoanalysis to its very core. It is a rivetingly smart book.' Elias M. da Rocha Barros is a training analyst at the Brazilian Psychoanalytical Society of São Paulo and distinguished fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society and Institute 'Playing and Vitality in Psychoanalysis is about field theory, but more importantly it is field theory – overbrimming with the characters and the stories and the plots and the angst and the pleasure – all of which is brought to life by a clarity of thinking that is rare in psychoanalysis today. One cannot read this book without being changed by it personally and professionally.'Thomas Ogden most recently authored Coming to Life in the Consulting Room (Routledge, 2021)'Antonino Ferro and Giuseppe Civitarese, playfully and with great vitality, lead us through the intimacy of their clinical practice. Through the numerous characters that circulate through the book, Ferro and Civitarese offer us a psychoanalytic reflection from a true aesthetic experience resulting from the very reading of the text. Several of Bion's and many other authors' ideas, such as the concept of the analytic field, come to life and are illustrated and deepened through the many clinical situations presented and through the authors' original reflections. Reading this book will certainly be a pleasant experience of pleasure, discovery, learning and enchantment.'Ruggero Levy is a member of the SPPA, Porto Alegre, BrazilTable of Contents1.

Their passion is to break out of paradigms that retard our evolution and to explore new possibilities. Through challenge and synergy they venture where few have gone before, leading their readers on an exciting journey of discovery. Their discussions focus on the evolution of the mind, the role of psychedelics, skepticism, the psychic powers of animals, the structure of time, the life of the heavens, the nature of God, and transformations of consciousness. “Three fine thinkers take us plunging into the universe of chaos, mind, and spirit. Instead of leaving us lost, they bring us back with startling insights and more wonder than we knew we had.” —Matthew Fox, Original Blessing and Sheer Joy A jam-session of the mind, an intellectual movable feast, an on-going conversation that began over twenty years ago and remains as lively and relevant today as it ever was. Sadly, Terence had to leave the conversation a little earlier than planned.

Cambridge University Press Performing Power in Zimbabwe
Book SynopsisBuilding on socio-legal studies, anthropology, and performance studies, this book challenges depictions of law as a façade for political repression by examining political trials in Zimbabwe after 2000, looking beyond the repression/resistance binary as a way of understanding governments' and citizens' uses of law.Trade Review'In Verheul's masterful account, law shapes (and is shaped by) political subjectivities and norms in crisis-ridden post-colonial Zimbabwe. We see how law works within the state and how meaningful legal practices, claims and institutions can be, for both those in authority and those who resist.' Sara Rich Dorman, University of Edinburgh'Through a finely crafted interweaving of detailed courtroom ethnography, revealing interviews and carefully read legal documents, Susanne Verheul eloquently unfolds the complex relationships between history, law, politics, state authority and citizenship. While contextualised within Zimbabwe, this rich account and its analytical insights has great significance for a wide range of scholarly fields.' Amanda Hammar, University of Copenhagen'A fascinating and vividly painted picture of the way in which power gets enacted in Zimbabwe's courtrooms and a must-read for socio-legal scholars and Africanists alike. Verheul manages to combine disciplinary perspectives and rich case material to dig deep into how power gets constituted and is performed. Highly recommended!'

Cambridge University Press Coherentism
Book SynopsisPerhaps the most fundamental question of epistemology asks on what grounds our knowledge of the world ultimately rests. The traditional Cartesian answer is that it rests on indubitable facts arrived at through rational insight or introspection. Coherentists reject this answer, claiming instead that knowledge arises from relations of coherence or mutual support: if our beliefs cohere, we can be sure that they are mostly true. The first part of this Element introduces the reader to the main ideas and problems of coherentism. The next part describes the ''probabilistic turn'', leading up to recent demonstrations that coherence fails to be conducive to truth. The final part reassesses the current debate about the proper definition of coherence from the standpoint of Rudolf Carnap''s methodology of explication. The upshot is a tentative and qualified defence of one of the early coherence measures.Table of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Coherentism and the Problems of Epistemology – the Early Debate; 3. The Probabilistic Turn in Coherentist Epistemology; 4. Beyond Conceptual Analysis; 5. Explicating Coherence; 6. Conclusion; References.

Taylor & Francis Exploring Spirituality from a PostJungian
Book SynopsisWinner of the Internationl Association for Jungian Studies (IAJS) Book Award for Best Clinical Book 2024FDerived from Ruth Williamsâ more than 40-year immersion in spiritual practice, as well as her clinical experience as a Jungian analyst, this thought-provoking volume explores the nature of spiritual paths and trajectories in practical ways, incorporating personal anecdote and ground-breaking academic research and providing a window into how Jungian practitioners work with soul and spirit.Williams explores the nature of being a human using the Yiddish idea of a person being a âmenschâ, which means being a decent human being, having humanity and living ethically with integrity. The idea of âgraceâ is the thread that runs through the bookâthe mystery that binds things together and makes life meaningful, purposeful, potentially joyful and spiritually fulfilling. Williams sees âgraceâ as being that which underpins and lies behind synchronicity and divinaTrade Review"I am overjoyed to find in Exploring Spirituality from a Post-Jungian Perspective: Clinical and Personal Reflections a uniquely welcoming voice and distilled wisdom. Whatever our religious or secular background, this book invites us to celebrate being human by becoming spiritual. Williams writes with the accessibility and experiential depth to include everyone with a questing spirit, whether familiar with Jungian psychology or not. Superbly grounded in the personal, this book is a deep dive into dimensions of being often labelled religious, mystical, esoteric, paranormal, or transpersonal. It shows us how to live more fulfilled lives in this troubled twenty first century. Buy it!"Susan Rowland (PhD), Core Faculty, Pacifica Graduate Institute"This important work captures the essence of a spiritual approach to the unconscious: continually grounding experience by reality testing, watching what your Shadow is doing, and having a sense of humour. Ruth explains this with clarity, vision and, above all, warmth of heart."Dr Dale Mathers, IAAP member"Ruth Williams has a feel for what matters, and in this set of engaging reflections on what spirituality means, or might mean, in the contemporary world, she homes in on a range of challenging but vital topics: ecological responsibility, the purpose of life, destiny, the ineffable, and many more. As a psychotherapist, Williams is far from unfamiliar with the darker side of life; but she also attends to the struggles involved in facing the light. Through a deft choice of anecdotes and vignettes drawn from spiritual traditions, popular culture, and above all her own personal and professional experience, she champions the pursuit of one’s individual path. And her vivid, personable style helps to make all the addressed issues emotionally as well as intellectually accessible. Exuding courage and generosity, this book should be helpful to a wide readership."Professor Roderick Main, Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex"Williams brings her succinct, integrative style into her explorations of this boundless and vast topic which makes it an accessible and thought-provoking read… Williams does a masterful job of saying more with less which is particularly challenging for a topic as complex and ineffable as diverse perspectives on spirituality.”Journal of Analytical Psychology"This book skilfully weaves the personal and the clinical … facing both the light and the darkness of the shadow… The author is a sound guide through the dilemmas of life, knowing, conscience and integrity in the face of human finitude … Significantly, the final chapter is on grace, which Ruth sees as how the wise consciousness communicates with us if we have eyes to see and ears to hear – we need to be open, receptive and humble but also focused in intent and purpose. This searching book will be of particular interest to clinicians, but there is also much to glean for general readers."The Journal of the Scientific and Medical NetworkTable of ContentsIntroduction; Part One: Spiritual Perspective; 1: Overview; 2: Spiritual Attitude; 3: Gaia, Ecology and Animals; Part Two: Dilemmas; 4: How the Heart Knows; 5: Suicide; 6: Ethics and Integrity; 7: Peace, Clarity, Joy, Kindness, and a Clear Conscience; 8: What is the Goal of Life?; Part Three: Puzzles; 9: Pre-destination: Why Do Things Go Wrong?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Psychoanalysis Gender and Sexualities
Book SynopsisTranscending the sex and gender dichotomy, rethinking sexual difference, transgenerational trauma, the decolonization of gender, non-Western identity politics, trans*/feminist debates, embodiment, and queer trans* psychoanalysis, these specially commissioned essays renew our understanding of conventionally held notions of sexual difference.Looking at the intersections between psychoanalysis, feminism, and transgender discourses, these essays think beyond the normative, bi-gender, Oedipal, and phallic premises of classical psychoanalysis while offering new perspectives on gender, sexuality, and sexual difference. From Freud to Lacan, Kristeva, and Laplanche, from misogyny to the #MeToo movement, this collection brings a timely corrective that historicizes our moment and opens up creative debate.Written for professionals, scholars, and students alike, this book will also appeal to psychoanalysts, psychologists, and anyone in the fields of literature, film and media studiTrade Review'A broad and important collection of essays on feminist psychoanalysis, bringing together the authoritative major figures in the field with provocative work by emerging scholars and analysts. Proof, if it were needed, of the vitality of feminist psychoanalytic study, which appears more necessary, as well as richer, than ever.'Grace Lavery, University of California, Berkeley'One of the fundamental discoveries of psychoanalysis was that sexuality is not simply about intimacy, but is ridden by the social. Social relations are very much at work in sexuality, which is why shifts in social relations often play out on the ground of sexuality, as questions of sexuality and its vicissitudes. Contemporary debates are striking evidence of this connection, and this collection of essays captures, reiterates and reflects on it most impressively.'Alenka Zupančič, Institute of Philosophy at the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and the ArtsTable of ContentsIntroduction Part 1: The Genealogy of Sex and Gender 1.
