Book SynopsisSigmund Freud on the Way to Paris, 1873â1885 poses a question: where does psychoanalysis begin?Giosuà Ghisalberti considers how Freudâs own development â in terms of both his formal education and his personal growth â influenced the development of psychoanalysis. Rather than a beginning to psychoanalysis, this book instead traces four convergent influences: one, the nature of Freudâs âœJewishnessâ as determined by the Hebrew language, the Torah, and the man Moses; two, his interdisciplinary scientific studies in medicine, laboratory research, and clinical internship; three, the foundational aspect of Anna O.âs illness; and four, the time he spent in Paris observing hysterics at the SalpÃtriÃre hospital. Rather than a beginning to psychoanalysis, the book instead traces several influences, beginning with the âœarchaic heritageâ he drew from an ancient culture as he presented it in the third and last part of Moses and Monotheism.Sigmund Freud on the Way to Paris, 1873â1885 will be of great interest to students and scholars of psychoanalysis, the humanities, and the material sciences looking to trace four origins of psychoanalysis.

Book SynopsisThe COVID-19 pandemic pushed education from schools to educational technologies at a pace and scale with no historical precedent. For hundreds of millions of students, formal learning became fully dependent on technology â whether internet-connected digital devices, televisions or radios.An Ed-Tech Tragedy? examines the numerous adverse and unintended consequences of the shift to ed-tech. It documents how technology-first solutions left a global majority of learners behind and details the many ways education was diminished even when technology was available and worked as intended.Using tragedy as a metaphor and borrowing the organization of a three-act theatrical play, the book shows how technology-first modes of learning introduced novel health and safety risks, handed significant control of public education to for-profit companies, expanded invasive digital surveillance and carried detrimental environmental repercussions, in addition to adversely impacting educational access, equity, quality and outcomes in most contexts.Dedicated sections consider alternative and less technology-reliant educational responses to COVID-19 disruptions that had the potential to be more inclusive and equitable. The analysis further explains how pandemic models of learning are rippling beyond school closures and influencing the future of education.Holistically, the work invites readers to reconsider a turbulent chapter in education history and reexamine the purposes and roles of technology in education.

Book SynopsisAlgeria, the largest country in North Africa, is geopolitically significant due to its strategic location and natural resources. Despite its potential, the country remains entrenched in a rent-based economy, heavily dependent on hydrocarbon exports, a situation that has persisted since its independence in 1962.This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Algeria's complex politico-economic system, focusing on its rentier and extractivist nature. The study examines the historical evolution of Algeriaâs economy, beginning with the ambitious yet ultimately unsuccessful industrialization efforts of the 1960s and 1970s. This failure led to the country's specialization in the extraction and export of hydrocarbons. Subsequent reforms aimed at transitioning to a market economy have failed to break the countryâs dependency on oil revenues, instead deepening its rentier and extractivist characteristics. The book critically explores the limitations of applying conventional economic and political science frameworks to analyze the Algerian economy. It argues that these disciplines, developed within the context of Western capitalism, are insufficient to fully capture the unique dynamics of an economy like Algeriaâs, where the market plays a marginal role, and state-controlled rents dominate wealth distribution. To address these challenges, the book adopts the concept of extractivism, originally developed in Latin American contexts, to better understand the interplay between political struggles, social movements, and economic practices in Algeria. It posits that Algeria is both a rentier and an extractivist state, with these two aspects reinforcing each other and hindering the development of a productive economy.The book will be of interest to readers of political economy, Middle East and North African studies and international politics.

Book SynopsisConsidering poetry, narrative, and performances from diverse oral societies and the earliest scribal cultures, Ethics and Literary Worldmaking traces ways that both oral and written genres participate in communal shaping and reshaping of affectivity, sociality, deliberation, and evaluation.The study views delineation and revision of shared imagined âœworldsâ as itself an evolutionary adaptive activity, one through which humans, like other species, adjust behavior and modify their environments to enhance their flourishing. Donald R. Wehrs argues that discursive heritages of oral societies from Africa, Australia, Asia, and the Americas not only delineate diverse ontologies but also seek to negotiate tensions between individual desires and communal interests, and disjunctions between what seems socially or prudentially optimal and what is felt to be right or just. The earliest scribal traditions, Sumerian and Akkadian poetry, draw on patterns of ethically charged worldmaking resembling those featured prominently in heterogeneous surviving oral traditions. Imaginative discourse, whether oral or written, returns incessantly to questioning egocentric and ethnocentric norms and self-privileging assumptions in ways that hierarchical, authoritarian societies cannot completely contain or co-opt.Ethics and Literary Worldmaking establishes unexpected contexts for addressing literary theory and history relevant to humanities scholarship generally, particularly for those working on ethics and/or science and literature, literary theory, literary history, cognitive literary studies, or comparative studies, but also for teachers of World Literature.

Book SynopsisThis book looks at the intersection of psychoanalytic thinking, society and culture, using examples drawn from literature, clinical practice and everyday life.The book explores the various ways in which psychoanalysis shares preoccupations with the humanities including but not restricted to music, art, philosophy, history and politics, while retaining its own way of understanding phenomena.

Book SynopsisThis revised edition of Heinz Kohut and the Psychology of the Self offers a clear, detailed explanation of self-psychology theory, as it was written by Heinz Kohut. A founder of the Self Psychology movement in America, Kohut based his practice on the belief that narcissistic vulnerabilities play a significant part in the suffering that brings people for treatment. The authors analyze Kohutâs work and writing, using examples from their own practice to show how Kohut's innovative theories can be applied. This new edition makes the case that todayâs learners will still benefit from a close study of Kohutâs primary documents and argues that his ideas remain foundational for modern clinical work and for understanding the underpinnings of contemporary theories. It offers a discussion of shifting theoretical contexts, from when Kohut first wrote to when the first edition was written, and to now.

Another new chapter, deeply influenced by Kohutâs teachings, represents a contemporary view about Clinical Listening. This revised edition is intended for students and practitioners at any level of practice who are interested in a deeper understanding of Kohutâs ideas.

Book SynopsisThis book showcases the importance of the soundscape for understanding the environmental crises that we face. It is also about the lost art of listening. This is crucial if we are to start building deeper resonances between human and more-than-human worlds. The book introduces a new approach to listening called integral listening, one that helps people directly engage with interior and exterior soundscapes, which is the key to solving environmental issues such as climate change and biodiversity loss. It provides a number of tools for engaging with the soundscape in ways that build empathy between the listener and the listened. It argues that empathy is central to our ability to create closer bonds with the more-than-human world; bonds that our ancestors, and the indigenous peoples of the world, understood as being key to survival. As Edwards argues, science and technology cannot be relied upon to address issues that begin their life in our interior worlds. At its core, this book is a rallying cry for the creation of arts-based responses to environmental issues, responses that create hope, not despair. Providing essential reading, this book will be of interest to researchers, educators and students in environmental studies, sound studies and arts-based research. It will also appeal to musicians exploring new ways of crafting music from the soundscapes, wellbeing professionals benefitting from the concept of the interior soundscape and its ability to impact how people feel and community members who are on the lookout for ways to engage people with issues without creating feelings of powerlessness.

Book SynopsisThis book opens a new door into visual storytelling by using a story-first method to reframe cinematography as a language, not just a technical craft. Readers will learn to think about images not only as products of gear and technique, but as carefully crafted expressions of narrative intent.The book begins not with lighting setups or lens choices, but with story: What is the emotional core of a scene? Does a high-angle shot serve the character? Does the lighting deepen the narrative? Focusing on the intent and expression of images, rather than the mechanics, readers learn how creative decisions like camera angle, movement, and lighting either support or obscure that story. Through accessible exercises and clear examples, the book teaches aspiring filmmakers how to interpret images and evaluate their effectiveness, asking Does the visual choice communicate what I intended? Could a different composition, perspective, or level of shadow alter the emotional response?

With an emphasis on intention over execution, this book provides a fresh and practical framework for those seeking to create images that are not only beautiful, but narratively effective.This book provides key reading for students of filmmaking and cinematography, as well as aspiring and early-career filmmakers, including directors, screenwriters, and producers, who may feel intimidated by the technical aspects of cinematography but need to make or guide visual decisions.An online instructorâs manual provides additional support, making it easy for educators to incorporate the book and its exercises into their curriculum.

Book SynopsisTextile Translations: Weaving Stories, Touching Meanings offers a new and original perspective in Translation Studies. The key idea explored in this book is that we communicate not only through our intellect but also through our senses, M Carmen Ãfrica Vidal Claramonte presents her view that if we communicate with our body, we also translate with our body through embodied translations. The book focuses on textile art as a form of textile translation that communicates without words, not only through the visual but also through tactile sensory experiences. It is richly illustrated with examples such as arpilleras and other creations by contemporary artists, such as Ghada Amer and Jen Bervin, who use the tactility of materials to rewrite not only situations of injustice, poverty, abuse of power, suffering, and despair, but also of hope and solidarity. A key text for anyone studying and researching Translation studies, but also, due to the transdisciplinary nature of the book, it will appeal to those with an interest in anthropology and sensory studies.

Book SynopsisTribes: Challenging the Image, Shifting the Paradigm reconsiders the concept of âœtribeâ in political, cultural, and academic discourse, offering a dynamic alternative to outdated and damaging stereotypes.This book critiques the popular portrayal of tribes as static, violent, or regressive, arguing instead for an understanding of tribal life as adaptive, egalitarian, and resilient. Drawing on examples from colonial history, contemporary war zones, and indigenous sovereignty movements, it explores how tribes disperse power, resist conquest, and regenerate through ritual and cultural practice. The volume challenges the misuse of âœtribalismâ in modern politics and repositions tribes as vital actors in global conversations about identity, governance, and resource rights. Through comparative analysis, it proposes a new paradigm that recognizes tribes as shape-shifters rather than fixed structures.Tribes: Challenging the Image, Shifting the Paradigm is ideal for students and researchers interested in anthropology, human rights, international relations, and political rhetoric.

It allows a rare inside view across different companies (drawn from large and small-sized as well as across public and private sectors), that have made deep commitments to sustainable practices.

Book SynopsisThis book looks at how psychoanalytic thinking can be applied in a variety of settings and can respect the individual experience and circumstances of each patient.It focuses on the analytic encounter and the hard task around trying to create what the author calls a human analytic setting, one which respects human diversity and theoretical pluralism, pays adequate attention to the patientâs emotional pain and suffering, while hopefully facilitating psychic change. Starting by looking at general features of independent psychoanalysis, the author explores institutional and political issues which can either facilitate or restrict psychoanalytic thinking and institutional life. He also explores key themes such as the nature of subjectivity, subject relations, and the nature of absence and presence, through case studies. The final chapters elaborate on the duality of the psychoanalystâs identity â one centred around the psychoanalystâs need for a home base for their confidence as practitioners, the other about the challenges facing analysts having to work in solitude for much of their working life.With a focus on the intimate relationship between what happens in the analytic setting and the analystâs own institutional influences, this is key reading for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.
