The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

In this classic work the author presents and develops his theory of the importance of 'the Skin-ego'. Just as the skin is wrapped around the body so the author sees the 'Skin-ego' as a psychical wrapping containing defining and consolidating the subject. From this perspective the structure and functions of the skin can provide psychoanalysts and general readers with a fertile and practical metaphor. The author's concept of the Skin-ego is the answer to questions he regards as crucial to contemporary psychoanalysis: questions of topography which were left incomplete by Freud; the analysis of fantasies of the container as of the contained; issues of touch between mothers and babies; extending the concept of prohibitions within an Oedipal framework to those derived from a prohibition on touching; and questions pertaining to the representation of the body and to its psychoanalytic setting. This new translation of Le Moi-peau is based on the second and last (1995) edition. | The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

Advanced Skin Cancer A Case-Based Approach

Advanced Skin Cancer A Case-Based Approach

Advanced skin cancer is one that has already metastasized beyond its primary origin or one that has invaded underlying tissues such that surgical resection either is technically impossible or would lead to an unacceptable functional or cosmetic outcome. These skin cancers present a complex problem that requires the input of multiple specialties to delineate the best management plan. National guidelines utilize the best available data to guide management decisions. However there is considerable leeway within the guidelines enabling the ultimate care decision to be molded to best fit each individual patient. This book aims to provide instructional examples of patient cases where the input of the multidisciplinary team is critical in providing the most suitable care plan for the patient. CONTENTS: Melanoma * Squamous Cell Carcinoma * Basal Cell Carcinoma * Cutaneous Lymphoma * Kaposi’s Sarcoma * Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans * Merkel Cell Carcinoma * Rare Cancer Presentations | Advanced Skin Cancer A Case-Based Approach

Thornton Wilder's The Skin of our Teeth

Thornton Wilder's The Skin of our Teeth

Ladies and gentlemen I‘m not going to play this particular scene tonight. Sabina Thornton Wilder‘s The Skin of Our Teeth (1942) telescopes an audacious stretch of western history and mythology into a family drama showing how the course of human events operates like theatre itself: constantly mutable vanishing and beginning again. Kyle Gillette explores Wilder‘s extraordinary play in three parts. Part I unpacks the play‘s singular yet deeply interconnected place in theatre history comparing its metatheatrics to those of Stein Pirandello and Brecht and finding its anticipation of American fantasias in the works of Vogel and Kushner. Part II turns to the play‘s many historic and mythic sources and examines its concentration of western progress and power into the model of a white American upper-middle-class nuclear family. Part III takes a longer view tangling with the play‘s philosophical stakes. Gillette magnifies the play‘s ideas and connections teasing out historical theoretical and philosophical questions on behalf of readers scholars and audience members alike. | Thornton Wilder's The Skin of our Teeth

Essential Skills in Character Rigging

Essential Skills in Character Rigging

Character rigging is the method with which you create a system for animating a character. A rig is represented by two primary mechanics: the skeleton consisting of hierarchical rotations to drive the motions and a skin or method of deforming the geometry that makes up the character model. Essential Skills in Character Rigging is a beginner‘s guide to learning and understanding the essential aspects of character setup evaluation skeletal construction and deformation. Borrowing from the author‘s extensive experience in the field it presents the primary theories constructs and objectives for constructing a basic rig from the ground up just as it would be done in a professional studio. The book explains the basic elements of hierarchies skeletons kinematics deformation skinning and creating relationships between nodes. It gives hands-on experience with taking a completed character model and setting it up with a skeleton with kinematics and soft-skin deformation. It also gives specific instructions on using inverse kinematics systems and how to set up the essential mechanics of a human rig with these systems. All of these lessons are conducted using a simplistic conversational style that keeps technical and mathematical jargon to a minimum. The book also includes video tutorials corresponding to specific modules. Essential Skills in Character Rigging takes aspiring character artists through the vital components in the process of taking a 3D character model and turning it into an animatable rig that is ready for production in film or games. It identifies the universal fundamentals at work behind character rigging and the practical complexities of the process are broken down into simple steps that are easy to comprehend and execute.

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Volume two explores the way a wide range of classic princess tales written by marginalized writers. Rapunzel and Snow White with their pale skin or long ropes of golden hair are particularly popular vehicles for exploring and challenging racialized constructions of beauty. Marriage is the traditional vehicle of a happy ending in Princess tales so marginalized responses to these tales also inherently respond to the doubly colonized position of women in the Anglophone world. The institution of marriage typically exposes the institutional oppression of colonized women. Authors include Charles Chesnutt Jessie Fauset Julia Kavanaugh George Edwards some of the unpublished manuscripts of Jewish-Australian author Joseph Jacobs and the earliest work of Sinèad de Valera as well as fin-de-siècle illustrators such as Harry Clarke and collected oral tales. | Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Experiments in Film and Philosophy

Experiments in Film and Philosophy

Christopher Falzon argues in this book for a new way of understanding film as philosophy. Inspired and informed by the work of Michel Foucault Falzon shows how a motion picture can operate not simply as a thought experiment but as a form of experience-centred experimental reflection. It is film’s ability to show viewers things that challenge their way of thinking giving them experiences that can make them think differently that gives the film its status as philosophy. Through these cinematic experiences not only cultural norms and presuppositions but also cinematic conventions and even established philosophical positions can be interrogated and questioned. Experiments in Film and Philosophy explores three films in the light of this new way of thinking about philosophy and film: Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless Rubin Ötlund’s Force Majeure and Jonathon Glazer’s Under the Skin. It will be of interest to advanced students and scholars interested in the current debates about the relationship between film and philosophy.
