Cultural Memory From the Sciences to the Humanities

Cultural Memory From the Sciences to the Humanities

Bringing together neuroscientists social scientists and humanities scholars in cross-disciplinary exploration of the topic of cultural memory this collection moves from seminal discussions of the latest findings in neuroscience to variegated specific case studies of social practices and artistic expressions. This volume highlights what can be gained from drawing on broad interdisciplinary contexts in pursuing scholarly projects involving cultural memory and associated topics. The collection argues that contemporary evolutionary science in conjunction with studies interconnecting cognition affect and emotion as well as research on socially mediated memory provides innovatively interdisciplinary contexts for viewing current work on how cultural and social environments influence gene expression and neural circuitry. Building on this foundation Cultural Memory turns to the exploration of the psychological processes and social contexts through which cultural memory is shaped circulated revised and contested. It investigates how various modes of cultural expression—architecture cuisine poetry film and fiction—reconfigure shared conceptualizing patterns and affectively mediated articulations of identity and value. Each chapter showcases research from a wide range of fields and presents diverse interdisciplinary contexts for future scholarship. As cultural memory is a subject that invites interdisciplinary perspectives and is relevant to studying cultures around the world of every era this collection addresses an international readership comprising scholars from the humanities social sciences and natural sciences from advanced undergraduates to senior researchers. | Cultural Memory From the Sciences to the Humanities

Architectures of Care From the Intimate to the Common

Architectures of Care From the Intimate to the Common

Drawing from a diverse range of interdisciplinary voices this book explores how spaces of care shape our affective material and social forms from the most intimate scale of the body to our planetary commons. Typical definitions of care center around the maintenance of a livable life encompassing everything from shelter and welfare to health and safety. Architecture plays a fundamental role in these definitions inscribed in institutional archetypes such as the home the hospital the school and the nursery. However these spaces often structure modes of care that prescribe gender roles bodily norms and labor practices. How can architecture instead engage with an expanded definition of care that questions such roles and norms producing more hybrid entanglements between our bodies our collective lives and our environments? Chapters in this book explore issues ranging from disabled domesticities and nursing unbuilding whiteness in the built environment practices and pedagogies of environmental care and the solidarity networks within ‘The Cloud’. Case studies include Floating University Berlin commoning initiatives by the Black Panther party and hospitals for the United Mine Workers of America among many other sites and scales of care. Exploring architecture through the lenses of gender studies labor theory environmental justice and the medical humanities this book will engage students and academics from a wide range of disciplines. | Architectures of Care From the Intimate to the Common

The Trauma of Racism Lessons from the Therapeutic Encounter

The Trauma of Racism: Lessons from the Therapeutic Encounter is a pioneering reflection on the psychology of racism and its impact on us all. With the intimacy of personal experience and depth of analytic exposition the authors expose racism’s searing effects on personal clinical and community interactions while providing pathways for change. This book asserts that the insights and practice of psychoanalysis applied behind the couch and in the community create unique opportunities for change. Essayists address racially derived mental health inequities including distortions projections stereotypes and historical tropes. The Trauma of Racism invites personal and clinical exploration of how people learn confront and re-learn views on race. Narratives of the loss and grief and the burdens of slavery that crisscross the African American community are present. They are complemented by those of the psychological burdens and inspired acts of personal responsibility that respond to unequal access to wealth and opportunity along racial lines. In moving accounts portraying experiences of racism and access to privilege the authors grapple with the possibilities of mutual understanding. Readers concerned about racism will find themselves challenged and engaged. This book is intended for the general reader and for clinicians at any career stage. Likewise scholars in the humanities law education or public policy will find new opportunities to reflect and to act. | The Trauma of Racism Lessons from the Therapeutic Encounter

The Psychoanalyst and the Child From the Consultation to Psychoanalytic Treatment

The Psychoanalyst and the Child From the Consultation to Psychoanalytic Treatment

The Psychoanalyst and the Child explores the unique nature of psychoanalytic work with children. This book is based on more than 30 years of practice and reflection within the framework of the Alfred Binet Centre in Paris France. The very great diversity of situations encountered at the Centre brings the issue of therapeutic indications to the forefront. Michel Ody focuses on the diversification of fifteen clinical situations and their theorization ranging from basic consultation to psychoanalytic treatment. With this framework as his starting-point he looks at the common features between the therapeutic consultation – a consultation that becomes therapeutic – and the analytic treatment as well as what differentiates them. This implies examining at the technical level the different forms of interventions and interpretations presented as well as their metapsychological articulation. Ody draws on decades of clinical expertise to set out not just the basic considerations and problems typically encountered in work with this patient group but clear guidelines for methodology and technique. Psychoanalysis can be an intellectual process dependent on the ability of the patient to express themselves verbally which can make working clinically with children challenging. The Psychoanalyst and the Child seeks to help psychoanalysts through the most challenging of clinical treatments with this patient group. | The Psychoanalyst and the Child From the Consultation to Psychoanalytic Treatment

Opera in Paris from the Empire to the Commune

Opera in Paris from the Empire to the Commune

Studies in the history of French nineteenth-century stage music have blossomed in the last decade encouraging a revision of the view of the primacy of Austro-German music during the period and rebalancing the scholarly field away from instrumental music (key to the Austro-German hegemony) and towards music for the stage. This change of emphasis is having an impact on the world of opera production with new productions of works not heard since the nineteenth century taking their place in the modern repertory. This awakening of enthusiasm has come at something of a price. Selling French opera as little more than an important precursor to Verdi or Wagner has entailed a focus on works produced exclusively for the Paris Opéra at the expense of the vast range of other types of stage music produced in the capital: opéra comique opérette comédie-vaudeville and mélodrame for example. The first part of this book therefore seeks to reintroduce a number of norms to the study of stage music in Paris: to re-establish contexts and conventions that still remain obscure. The second and third parts acknowledge Paris as an importer and exporter of opera and its focus moves towards the music of its closest neighbours the Italian-speaking states and of its most problematic partners the German-speaking states especially the music of Weber and Wagner. Prefaced by an introduction that develops the volume’s overriding intellectual drivers of cultural exchange genre and institution this collection brings together twelve of the author’s previously published articles and essays fully updated for this volume and translated into English for the first time. | Opera in Paris from the Empire to the Commune

Sensing the Everyday Dialogues from Austerity Greece

Sensing the Everyday Dialogues from Austerity Greece

Sensing the Everyday is a multi-sited ethnographic inquiry based on fieldwork experiences and sharp everyday observations in the era of crisis. Blending sophisticated theoretical analyses with original ethnographic data C. Nadia Seremetakis journeys from Greece to Vienna Edinburgh Albania Ireland and beyond. Social crisis is seen through its transnational multiplication of borders thresholds and margins divisions and localities as linguistic bodily sensory and performative sites of the quotidian in process. The book proposes everyday life not as a sanctuary or as a recessed zone distanced from the structural violence of the state and the market but as a condition of im/possibility unable to be lived as such yet still an encapsulating habitus. There the impossibility of the quotidian is concretized as fragmentary and fragmenting material forces. Seremetakis weaves together topics as diverse as borders and bodies history and death the earth and the senses language and affect violence and public culture the sociality of dreaming and the spatialization of the traumatic in a journey through antiphonic witnessing and memory. Her montage explores various ways of juxtaposing reality with the irreal and the imaginal to expose the fictioning of social reality. The book locates her approach to ethnography and the ‘native ethnographer’ in wider anthropological and philosophical debates and proposes a dialogical interfacing of theory and practice the translation of academic knowledge to public knowledge | Sensing the Everyday Dialogues from Austerity Greece

Universities and Regional Engagement From the Exceptional to the Everyday

Universities and Regional Engagement From the Exceptional to the Everyday

The study of universities’ role in regional engagement has traditionally been focusing on exceptional cases. This book presents a reconceptualization which embraces its underlying complexity and proposes a roadmap for a renewed research agenda. Starting from the grassroots level of universities’ everyday engagements the book delves into the manifold ways in which university knowledge agents build connections with regional partners. Through 11 empirical chapters the authors not only chart the diversity among case institutions engagement mechanisms and regional contexts but also use that diversity to advance a novel conceptual framework centered on the process of mundaneness for unpacking university-regions’ everyday activities taking into account the dynamic complex and co-evolving interplay between (a) key social agents and institutions (b) the contexts in which they are embedded as well as (c) the historical trajectories and strategic ambitions underpinning context-specific social arrangements and interactions that are mediated by temporal and spatial dimensions. Drawing on evolutionary economic geography innovation studies management and organization studies and historical perspectives the volume advances a new mode of understanding university-regional engagement as a form of extendable temporary coupling which also helps to address perennial policy and managerial questions alike of what to do with universities that do not serve local labour market needs and/or are located in regions suffering from brain drain. The book illustrates such dynamics from diverse national contexts and three continents: Brazil Caribbean China Italy Norway and Poland. This book will be valuable reading for advanced students researchers and policymakers working in economic geography regional development innovation and higher education management.
