The Psychoanalytic Zero A Decolonizing Study of Therapeutic Dialogues

The Psychoanalytic Zero A Decolonizing Study of Therapeutic Dialogues

Winner of the 2020 Gradiva Award The Psychoanalytic Zero: A Decolonizing Study of Therapeutic Dialogues is written from the unique perspective of a Western-trained Asian psychoanalyst and applies principles of Eastern philosophy to understand the psychoanalytic relationship psychoanalytic processes and their uses—and limitations—for alleviating human suffering. Bringing a unique Eastern perspective to a previously Western-dominated discipline and framed within the current relational and ethical trends in psychoanalysis the book enables readers to develop a language for understanding an Eastern ethical viewpoint and explore how this language can change our awareness of psychoanalytic practice and human suffering. Chapters are devoted to the Eastern concepts of nothingness emptiness surrender sincerity silence and narrative and issues including existential guilt of being trauma contingency informed consent the sense of being human and uncertainty. Discussions are illustrated and illuminated through vivid recreations and careful elaboration of therapeutic case studies with traumatized patients. The studies demonstrate the process by which patients regain a sense of being human. This enriched perspective will it is hoped help the analyst treat traumatized patients who are unable to relate to others and who do not experience themselves as being human. The Psychoanalytic Zero will enrich an analyst’s sensitivity to the appearance of the moment without context—the psychoanalytic zero—which opens infinite opportunities for continued growth in a psychoanalytic relationship. It will be of great appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists interested in self-psychological intersubjective and relational theories. | The Psychoanalytic Zero A Decolonizing Study of Therapeutic Dialogues

The Path to Net Zero for the Fashion Industry Five Strategies for Decarbonisation

The Path to Net Zero for the Fashion Industry Five Strategies for Decarbonisation

This book uses a quantitative science-based approach to explain where the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions emitted by the fashion industry are generated and it explores what strategies can be deployed to achieve Net Zero by 2050. With GHG emissions currently predicted to triple by the middle of the century the fashion industry is far off course to reach Net Zero as set out in the Paris Agreement. With misinformation and greenwashing representing an ever-growing barrier to potential solutions the book aims to demystify the source of GHG emissions from the industry breaking down in detail their origin while identifying the steps that can be taken when designing and sourcing new products. Detailing the market drivers and trends in fashion consumption it argues that change should be guided by science-based quantitative principles. Accessibly written with key insights at the end of each chapter this book will enable the reader to understand the tactics to tackle decarbonisation and ultimately outline five main strategies that can be deployed by the fashion and textile industries to align with the Paris Agreement. This book serves as a practical guide for designers buyers and the fashion industry in general to develop and understand approaches and strategies to reduce energy consumption and the resulting GHG emissions to reach Net Zero. | The Path to Net Zero for the Fashion Industry Five Strategies for Decarbonisation

Stopping Climate Change Policies for Real Zero

Stopping Climate Change Policies for Real Zero

Written by one of the leading experts in the field Paul Ekins Stopping Climate Change provides a comprehensive overview of what is required to achieve ‘real zero’ carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 and negative emissions thereafter which is the only way to stop human- induced climate change. This will require innovation in socio-technical systems and in human behaviour on an unprecedented scale. Stopping Climate Change describes the changes required to meet this goal: in technologies social institutions and individual activities. Paul Ekins examines in detail issues around the supply and demand of energy and materials and the efficiency of their use. It also analyses greenhouse gas removal technologies offsetting and geoengineering and plots the reduction of the non- CO2 greenhouse gas-emitting activities. Having set out the changes required Ekins considers the economic implications in terms of both the innovation and investments that are necessary to bring them about and the effects that these are likely to have on national economies. The evidence presented points clearly to the economic impacts of decarbonisation being positive for the majority of countries and for the world as a whole even before considering the benefits of avoided climate change. When the health benefits of stopping the burning of fossil fuels are factored in the global net benefits of decarbonisation are unequivocal. Drawing on examples from the UK and Europe but with wider relevance at a global scale Stopping Climate Change clearly shows how determined policy action at different levels could stop climate change. It will be of great interest to students scholars and policymakers researching and working in the field of climate change and energy policy. | Stopping Climate Change Policies for Real Zero

Nuclear Theory Degree Zero: Essays Against the Nuclear Android

Nuclear Theory Degree Zero: Essays Against the Nuclear Android

Nuclear Theory Degree Zero: Essays Against the Nuclear Android investigates the threat conveyed and maintained by the nuclear cycle: mining research health power generation and weaponry. Central to this polyvalent 'report' on the infiltration of our lives and control over them exerted by the industrial-military complex are critiques of the creation storage and use of atomic weapons the exploitation of Australian Aboriginal people and their lands through British atomic testing in the 1950s and an exposé of a language of denial in the world of nuclear mining/energy/military usages. 'Nuclear' is also parenthetically investigated in its function as extended metaphor and question for poetry and poetics. Key is a consideration of the use of the language of the 'atomic' in cultural spaces and in 'the arts'. Indigenous land-rights claims in the face of uranium mining the semantics of waste and of the glib usage by nuclear power companies of the fact of global warming to suit their own corrosive agendas. The triumphalism of scientific and cultural discourse around 'nuclear' and the threats by nuclear fission are by association brought into question. The nuclear cycle throws the whole future of human beings into doubt and this book seeks to assemble new resources of resistance through creative and critical mediums including poetry and poetics. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Angelaki.

Worship Liturgical Practices in Digital Worlds

Worship Liturgical Practices in Digital Worlds

A host of both very old and entirely new liturgical practices have arisen in digital mediation from the live-streaming of worship services and pray-as-you-go apps to digital prayer chapels virtual choirs and online pilgrimages. Cyberspace now even hosts communities of faith that exist entirely online. These digitally mediated liturgical practices raise challenging questions: Are worshippers in an online chapel really a community at prayer? Do avatars that receive digital bread and wine receive communion? @ Worship proposes a nuanced response to these sometimes contentious issues rooted in familiarity with and sustained attention to actual online practices. Four major thematic lines of inquiry form the structure of the book. After an introductory chapter the following chapters look at digital presence virtual bodies and online participation; ecclesial communities in cyberspace; digital materiality visuality and soundscapes; and finally the issues of sacramental mediation online. A concluding chapter brings together the insights from the previous chapters and maps a way forward for reflections on digitally mediated liturgical practices. @ Worship is the first monograph dedicated to exploring online liturgical practices that have emerged since the introduction of Web 2. 0. Bringing together the scholarly tools and insights of liturgical studies constructive theology and digital media theories it is vital reading for scholars of Theology and Religion with as well as Sociology and Digital Culture more generally. | Worship Liturgical Practices in Digital Worlds

Reclaiming Discipline for Education Knowledge relationships and the birth of community

Reclaiming Discipline for Education Knowledge relationships and the birth of community

Discipline is of profound educational importance both inside educational institutions and outside of them in personal and social life. Reclaiming Discipline for Education revisits neglected philosophical ideas about discipline in education and uses these ideas to re-think practices and discourses of discipline in education today. Chapters in this book trace the evolution of thought regarding discipline in education all the way from Kant through to Durkheim Foucault Peters Dewey and Macmurray. MacAllister also critically examines the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary school discipline practices in the UK the US and Australia including behaviour management zero tolerance and restorative approaches. The educational credentials of psychological constructs of grit and self-discipline are also questioned. This book concludes by considering the current and future state of discipline in education on the basis of the different philosophical practical and policy perspectives discussed. In particular MacAllister examines why it is problematic to consider practices of discipline in isolation from the wider purposes of education. This book is suitable for an international audience and should be read by anyone who is interested in education and educational leadership as well as those interested in the philosophy of education. | Reclaiming Discipline for Education Knowledge relationships and the birth of community
