Hypnosis and Imagination

Hypnosis and Imagination

The book's first three chapters-by Sheehan and Robertson; Wagstaff; Council Kirsch and Grant - conclude that three different factors turn imagination into hypnosis. The next three chapters-by Lynn Neufeld Green Rhue and Sandberg; Rader Kunzendorf and Carrabino; and Barrett-explore the hypnotic and the clinical significance of absorption in imagination. Three subsequent chapters-by Coe; Gwynn and Spanos; and Gorassini-examine the role of compliance and imagination in various hypnotic phenomena. Pursuing the possibility that some hypnotic hallucinations are experienced differently from normal images the following two chapters-by Perlini Spanos and Jones; and Kunzendorf and Boisvert-focus on negative hallucinating which reportedly blocks out perceptual reality. The remaining three chapters-by Wallace and Turosky; Crawford; and Persinger-pursue other physiological differences and possible physiological connections between hypnosis and imagination.

Archaeology and its Discontents Why Archaeology Matters

Archaeology and its Discontents Why Archaeology Matters

Archaeology and its Discontents examines the state of archaeology today and its development throughout the twentieth century making a powerful case for new approaches. Surveying the themes of twentieth-century archaeological theory Barrett looks at their successes limitations and failures. Seeing more failures and limitations than successes he argues that archaeology has over-focused on explaining the human construction of material variability and should instead be more concerned with understanding how human diversity has been constructed. Archaeology matters he argues precisely because of the insights it can offer into the development of human diversity. The analysis and argument are illustrated throughout by reference to the development of the European Neolithic. Arguing both for new approaches and for the importance of archaeology as a discipline Archaeology and its Discontents is for archaeologists at all levels from student to professor and trainee to experienced practitioner. | Archaeology and its Discontents Why Archaeology Matters

Science Language and Reform in Victorian Poetry Political Dialects

Science Language and Reform in Victorian Poetry Political Dialects

Barrow’s timely book is the first to examine the link between Victorian poetry the study of language and political reform. Focusing on a range of literary scientific and political texts Barrow demonstrates that nineteenth-century debates about language played a key role in shaping emergent ideas about popular sovereignty. While Victorian scientists studied the origins of speech the history of dialects and the barrier between human and animal language poets such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning Alfred Tennyson and Thomas Hardy drew on this research to explore social unrest the expansion of the electorate and the ever-widening boundaries of empire. Science Language and Reform in Victorian Poetry recovers unacknowledged links between poetry philology and political culture and contributes to recent movements in literary studies that combine historicist and formalist approaches. | Science Language and Reform in Victorian Poetry Political Dialects

Cubism and Abstract Art

Cubism and Abstract Art

Originally published in 1936 in this classic account of the development of abstract art Alfred Barr analyses the many diverse abstract movements which emerged with bewildering rapidity in the early years of the twentieth century and which had an impact on every major form of art. Barr traces the history of nonrepresentational art from its antecedents in late nineteenth-century painting in France – Seurat and Neo-Impressionism Gauguin and Synthetism and Cézanne – through abstract tendencies in Dada and Surrealism. He distinguishes two main trends in abstract art: the geometrical structural current as it developed in Cubism and later in Constructivism and Mondrian and the intuitional decorative current running from Matisse and Fauvism through Kandinskt and later Surrealism. He shows how individual movements influenced one another and how many artists experimented with more than one style. Barr also discusses the involvement of a number of abstract movements in architecture and the practical arts – the Bauhaus in Germany de Stijl in Holland Purism in France and Suprematism and Constructivism in Russia. | Cubism and Abstract Art

Approaches to the Anglo and American Female Epic 1621-1982

Approaches to the Anglo and American Female Epic 1621-1982

Epic has long been regarded as the exclusive domain of the male literary genius and as an incarnation of patriarchal values. This provocative collection of essays challenges such a hegemonic stereotype by demonstrating the ways in which women writers have successfully adapted the masculine epic tradition to suit their own aesthetic needs and to express their own heroic literary social and historical visions. Bringing the female epic out of the shadows the contributors rethink generic boundaries to illuminate this heretofore hidden literary practice. The essays range from Mary Tighe to Rebecca West from Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Gwendolyn Brooks and from Frances Burney to Virginia Woolf. Bernard Schweizer's introduction titled 'Muses with Pens ' connects the trajectory of ideas and influences in the individual essays to demonstrate how each participates in reclaiming for women writers a place in the development of a female epic tradition. The volume will be an invaluable resource for scholars working on issues related to genre canon formation and the evolution of female literary authority. | Approaches to the Anglo and American Female Epic 1621-1982

Japan Challenges America Managing An Alliance In Crisis

Japan Challenges America Managing An Alliance In Crisis

With the US-Japan alliance in jeopardy former diplomat Harrison Holland argues that both sides must take bold steps to avert a catastrophe that could destabilize economic political and security conditions in Asia. Taking advantage of his insider's perceptions the author illuminates those aspects of life in Japan that influence behaviour shape policy and affect public opinion in an inwardly directed society. Holland evaluates the obstacles to better economic relations; the security dilemmas facing Japan; and the rigid Japanese political structure which has been slow to adapt to the surge of modern technology the demands of rapid international change and the internal and external calls for a more responsible Japanese role in world affairs. Can the alliance survive the present turmoil? Despite the daunting obstacles the author concludes that solutions must and will be found. | Japan Challenges America Managing An Alliance In Crisis

Women and Sex Tourism Landscapes

Women and Sex Tourism Landscapes

Sexual spaces normally inhabited by (mostly) female sex workers are understood as masculine spaces and positioned for and around male consumers. However red light zones and public sex performances in both Thailand and Holland are being explored and visually consumed by female tourists in significant numbers. Their presence in red light districts and sexual venues is at odds with the ways in which sexual spaces have normally been positioned. Woman and Sex Tourism Landscapes explores female tourists' interactions with highly sexualized spaces and places in two very different contexts: the Netherlands and Thailand. Addressing this incongruence this text explores the ways in which these spaces are constructed and examines the different relations that govern the management of and female tourist interactions with these liminal sexual zones. Ethnographic data collected in both countries suggests that far from being male-centred spaces the red light districts and associated sexual entertainment venues are very much open to female tourists. Drawing on this research the author argues that some women are indeed interested in exploring sexualized zones challenging assumptions about women’s involvements with sexual space. Thinking specifically about the visual nature of women's sexualized experiences the analysis draws on a range of different theoretical understandings that address power privilege and the gaze. An important contribution to a range of debates this book will appeal to students and researchers in tourism geography sociology gender studies and cultural theory. | Women and Sex Tourism Landscapes

Bitter Waters Life And Work In Stalin's Russia

Bitter Waters Life And Work In Stalin's Russia

One dusty summer day in 1935 a young writer named Gennady Andreev-Khomiakov was released from the Siberian labor camp where he had spent the last eight years of his life. His total assets amounted to 25 rubles a loaf of bread five dried herrings and the papers identifying him as a convicted ?enemy of the people. ? From this hard-pressed beginning Andreev-Khomiakov would eventually work his way into a series of jobs that would allow him to travel and see more of ordinary life and work in the Soviet Union of the 1930s than most of his fellow Soviet citizens would ever have dreamed possible. Capitalizing on this rare opportunity Bitter Waters is Andreev-Khomiakov's eyewitness account of those tumultuous years a time when titanic forces were shaping the course of Russian history. Later to become a successful writer and editor in the Russiangr ommunity in the 1950s and 1960s Andreev-Khomiakov brilliantly uses this memoir to explore many aspects of Stalinist society. Forced collectivization Five Year Plans purges and the questionable achievements of ?shock worker brigades? are only part of this story. Andreev-Khomiakov exposes the Soviet economy as little more than a web of corruption a system that largely functioned through bribery barter and brute force?and that fell into temporary chaos when the German army suddenly invaded in 1941. Bitter Waters may be most valuable for what it reveals about Russian society during the tumultuous 1930s. From remote provincial centers and rural areas to the best and worst of Moscow and Leningrad Andreev-Khomiakov's series of deftly drawn sketches of people places and events provide a unique window on the hard daily lives of the people who built Stalin's Soviet Union. | Bitter Waters Life And Work In Stalin's Russia

The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading

The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading

In a rare fusion of literary sensibility with psychological research Norman N. Holland brings to light important data showing how personality in the fullest sense of character development and identity affects the way in which we read and interpret literature. This book will show that readers respond to literature in terms of their own lifestyle character personality or identity. By such terms psychoanalytic writers mean an individual's characteristic way of dealing with the demands of outer and inner reality. Each new experience develops the style while the pre-existing style shapes each new experience. The sub-title of this book Five Readers Reading reflects the fact that the author a distinguished literary critic worked with five student readers using a battery of psychological tests and extensive interviews to study the ways they reacted to classic short stories by Faulkner Hemingway and others. Combining his own interpretation of the stories with his understanding of the readers and their reactions Holland derives four principles that inform literary response. He then goes on to show how these principles apply not just to literary response but to the way personality shapes any experience. The book carries Holland's previous studies of creation and responsive recreation forward to a major theoretical statement. He rejects the artificial idea that one must think of a text (or other event) as separate from its perceivers illustrating the dynamics by which perceiver and perceived mutually create an experience. For critics and students of the psychology of human behavior this is challenging and seminal reading. | The Nature of Literary Response Five Readers Reading

Bisexual and Pansexual Identities Exploring and Challenging Invisibility and Invalidation

Bisexual and Pansexual Identities Exploring and Challenging Invisibility and Invalidation

This book explores the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality from the past to the present and is unique in extending the discussion to focus on contemporary and emerging identities. Nikki Hayfield draws on research from psychology and the social sciences to offer a detailed and in-depth exploration of the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality pansexuality and asexuality. The book discusses how early sexologists’ understood gender and sexuality within a binary model and how this provided the underpinnings of bisexual invisibility. The existing research on biphobia and bisexual marginalisation is synthesised to explore how bisexuality has often been invisible or invalidated. Hayfield then evidences clear examples of the invisibility and invalidation of bisexuality pansexuality and asexuality within education employment mainstream mass media and the wider culture. Throughout the book there is consideration of the impact that this invisibility and invalidation has on people’s sense of identity and on their health and wellbeing. It concludes with a discussion of how bisexuality pansexuality and asexuality have become somewhat more visible than in the past and the potential that visibility holds for recognition and representation. This is fascinating reading for students and academics interested in in bisexuality pansexuality and asexual spectrum identities and for those who have a personal interest in bisexuality pansexuality and asexuality. | Bisexual and Pansexual Identities Exploring and Challenging Invisibility and Invalidation

Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.S. Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies

Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.S. Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies

In Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U. S. : Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies David A. J. Richards offers an investigative comparison of two central figures in late eighteenth-century constitutionalism Edmund Burke and James Madison at a time when two great constitutional experiments were in play: the Constitution of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the U. S. Constitution of 1787. Richards assesses how much as liberal Lockean constitutionalists Burke and Madison shared and yet differed regarding violent revolution offering three pathbreaking and original contributions about Burke’s importance. First the book defends Burke as a central figure in the development and understanding of liberal constitutionalism; second it explores the psychology that led to his liberal voice including Burke’s own long-term loving relationship to another man; and third it shows how Burke’s understanding of the political psychology of the violence of “political religions” is an enduring contribution to understanding fascist threats to political liberalism from the eighteenth-century onwards including the contemporary constitutional crises in the U. S. and U. K. deriving from populist movements. Mixing thorough research with personal experiences this book will be an invaluable resource to scholars of political science and theory constitutional law history political psychology and LGBTQ+ issues. | Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.
