Notes from the Margins The Gay Analyst's Subjectivity in the Treatment Setting

Notes from the Margins The Gay Analyst's Subjectivity in the Treatment Setting

Much has been written about the impact of gender and sexual orientation on the intersubjective field. Yet remarkably little has been written about the unique dilemmas faced by gay clinicians who treat patients of different genders and sexual orientations. Given the particularities of growing up gay in our culture issues of secrecy shame alienation difference and internalized homophobia necessarily enter into any gay therapist's developmental history. These factors have a shaping impact on the gay analyst's sensibility on the way he learns to listen to his patients. In Notes from the Margins Eric Sherman courageously reveals a wide range of subjective reactions to eight different patients. In detailed clinical vignettes that highlight his thoughts feelings personal history and countertransference struggles he conveys the experiential immediacy of working as an analyst-and more specifically as a gay analyst. Although Sherman is not the first author to write thoughtfully about working in the countertransference he is among the very few to portray analytic work particularly in the working through of enactments as an often untidy affair marked not only by success but also by the blind spots and insecurities that contribute to failure. Notes from the Margins is not only an illuminating overview of the special challenges faced by gay and lesbian analysts but a window to grasping the messy realities intrinsic to the psychotherapeutic process. | Notes from the Margins The Gay Analyst's Subjectivity in the Treatment Setting

Diplomacy and Ideology From the French Revolution to the Digital Age

Diplomacy and Ideology From the French Revolution to the Digital Age

This innovative new book argues that diplomacy which emerged out of the French Revolution has become one of the central Ideological State Apparatuses of the modern democratic nation-state. The book is divided into four thematic parts. The first presents the central concepts and theoretical perspectives derived from the work of Slavoj Žižek focusing on his understanding of politics ideology and the core of the conceptual apparatus of Lacanian psychoanalysis. There then follow three parts treating diplomacy as archi-politics ultra-politics and post-politics respectively highlighting three eras of the modern history of diplomacy from the French Revolution until today. The first part takes on the question of the creation of the term ‘diplomacy’ which took place during the time of the French Revolution. The second part begins with the effects on diplomacy arising from the horrors of the two World Wars. Finally the third part covers another major shift in Western diplomacy during the last century the fall of the Soviet Union and how this transformation shows itself in the field of Diplomacy Studies. The book argues that diplomacy’s primary task is not to be understood as negotiating peace between warring parties but rather to reproduce the myth of the state’s unity by repressing its fundamental inconsistencies. This book will be of much interest to students of diplomacy studies political theory philosophy and International Relations. | Diplomacy and Ideology From the French Revolution to the Digital Age

The Visual Legacy of Alexander the Great from the Renaissance to the Age of Revolution

The Visual Legacy of Alexander the Great from the Renaissance to the Age of Revolution

This is an analysis of the diverse facets of Alexander the Great’s image from the Renaissance era through the Baroque into the nineteenth century. Perceived as the first sovereign ruler of the world for centuries Alexander became an exemplar for the most ambitious kings and emperors. This cultural phenomenon flourished above all in the Renaissance while extending into the nineteenth century. Early modern monarchs’ identification with Alexander associated them with ideas of kingly wisdom. Yet this admiration waned on occasions. Napoleon was Alexander of Macedonia’s most ardent critic. During the nineteenth century the Macedonian hero was viewed as an individual who won control of the Achaemenid empire but also underwent a progressive moral decline that converted him into a tyrant. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history and iconography. | The Visual Legacy of Alexander the Great from the Renaissance to the Age of Revolution

Interreligious Dialogue Models From the Life of the Prophet Muhammad

Interreligious Dialogue Models From the Life of the Prophet Muhammad

How did the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) converse and engage with other religious believers? Did he start off with prejudice and mistrust? Or was he convivial and open-minded? This book analyses six models of the dealings in the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) specifically but not restricted to the siblings of Abrahamic religious believers. The six models of dialogue analysed in the book are dialogue with Ashamah Najashi of Abyssinia delegation of Najran Christians different Jews of Yathrib and emperors of Byzantine and Sassanid. The analysis applies Ibn Khaldun’s (d. 1406) historical approach which the author termed as Khaldunian Hermeneutics due to the similarity between his ideas to that of Johann Gustav Droysen (d. 1884) a German philosopher in historical hermeneutics. As such the analysis goes beyond the dialogue content taking into consideration the immediate and larger contextual settings and changes of the contexts due to the passage of time. It critically considers the suitability of each model due to the difference in times and contexts. The book serves as a reference for Muslim dialogue advocates and practitioners to provide substantial evidence of the dialogue application by the role model of Muslims – the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) whom they hold very dear to their hearts. | Interreligious Dialogue Models From the Life of the Prophet Muhammad

Taming the Vernacular From dialect to written standard language

Taming the Vernacular From dialect to written standard language

Taming the Vernacular: From Dialect to Written Standard Language examines the differences between 'standard' and 'nonstandard' varieties of several different languages. Not only are some of the best-known languages of Europe represented here but also some that have been less well-researched in the past. The chapters address the syntax of Dutch English French Finnish Galician German and Spanish. For these languages and many others it is the standard varieties on which the most extensive syntactic research has been carried out with the result that very little is known about the syntax of their dialects or the spoken colloquial varieties. The editors of this volume seek to redress the balance by taking a cross-linguistic perspective on the historical development of the standardised varieties. This allows them to identify some common characteristics of spoken language. It also helps the reader to understand the kinds of filtering processes that are involved in standardization which result in the syntax of spoken colloquial language being different from the syntax of the standard varieties. Taming the Vernacular: From Dialect to Written Standard Language is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Linguistics particularly those taking courses in sociolinguistics dialectology and historical linguistics. The focus on a variety of languages also makes this text suitable for students studying courses which cover the linguistic aspects of European languages. | Taming the Vernacular From dialect to written standard language

Guild and State European Political Thought from the Twelfth Century to the Present

Guild and State European Political Thought from the Twelfth Century to the Present

Guild and State examines the values of social solidarity and fraternity that emerged from medieval guilds and city-communes and the effect of traditional corporate organization of labor on socioeconomic attitudes and theories of the state. What ordinary guildsmen and townsmen thought about these issues can be gleaned from chronicles charters and reported slogans. But in tracing attitudes toward the guilds of early Germanic times to today's equivalent-trade unions-a distinction must be made between popular ethos and learned philosophy. In Europe from the twelfth to the seventeenth centuries the corporate organization of labor and of town-market communities developed side-by-side with the ideals of personal liberty market freedom and legal equality. Both affected the ideology of the European commune and city-state in specific and discernible ways. Self-governing labor organizations and civil freedom developed together as coherent practices. The values of mutual aid and craft honor on the one hand and of personal freedom and legal equality on the other formed the moral infrastructure of our civilization. Alternate ideals balanced harmonized and even cross-fertilized one another-as in the principle of freedom of association. Contrary to preconceptions however corporate values were seldom expressed philosophically in the Middle Ages. Political theory and the world of learning from the start emphasized liberal values. It was only after the Reformation that guild and communal values found expression in political theory. Even then only a few philosophers acknowledged that solidarity and exchange-the poles around which the values of guild and civil society respectively rotate-are not opposites but complementary and attempted to weave these together into a texture as tough and complex as that of urban society itself. The Enlightenment and industrialization led to an apotheosis of liberal values. Guilds disappeared and were only in part replaced by labor unions; the values of market exchange have since been in the ascendant-though Hegel Durkheim and more recently advocates of liberal corporatism maintain the possibility of a symbiosis between corporate and liberal values. In Guild and State there emerges an alternative history of political thought which will be fascinating to the general as well as the specialist reader. | Guild and State European Political Thought from the Twelfth Century to the Present

Heterodox Economics and Global Emergencies Voices from Around the World

Heterodox Economics and Global Emergencies Voices from Around the World

From the financial crash to the climate emergency and Covid- 19 this book demonstrates that recent crises have had unequal impacts they require a heterodox approach to economics for their understanding and new ways of thinking are needed to address them. Drawing on a variety of heterodox and radical perspectives and global voices including those from India Africa and South America this collection explores the causes and impacts of global emergencies from a wide array of viewpoints. The first section outlines how the pandemic has shown up the biases of orthodox thought and policy particularly its Eurocentric and patriarchal focus on the urban formal economy. It outlines how adding an international dimension to institutional analysis uncovers systematic inequalities in the responses to emergencies and how new paradigms can provide better alternatives. The massive interventionism worldwide has led to renewed interest in the global financial system and also in Marxian approaches to money. The second section of the book therefore considers a range of alternative approaches to the study of finance – from Marx to Minsky – which are currently being revisited. The collection concludes with a suggestion for heterodox economics pedagogy since changing economics education is vital for future dissemination of real- world ideas. The book will be of interest to a variety of researchers and postgraduate students and lecturers especially in the fields of development health labour and feminist economics and also international political economy and heterodox economics. | Heterodox Economics and Global Emergencies Voices from Around the World
