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.

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

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 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

Theory and Practice in Heritage and Sustainability Between past and future

Theory and Practice in Heritage and Sustainability Between past and future

This book explores cultural sustainability and its relationships to heritage from a wide interdisciplinary perspective. By examining the interactions between people and communities in the places where they live it exemplifies the diverse ways in which a people-centred heritage builds identities and supports individual and collective memories. It encourages a view of heritage as a process that contributes through cultural sustainability to human well-being and socially- and culturally-sensitive policy. With theoretically-informed case studies from leading researchers the book addresses both concepts and practice in a range of places and contexts including landscape townscape museums industrial sites every day heritage ‘ordinary’ places and the local scene and even UNESCO-designated sites. The contributors most of whom like the editors were members of the COST Action ‘Investigating Cultural Sustainability’ demonstrate in a cohesive way how the cultural values that people attach to place are enmeshed with issues of memory identity and aspiration and how they therefore stand at the centre of sustainability discourse and practice. The cases are drawn from many parts of Europe but notably from the Baltic and central and south-eastern Europe regions with distinctive recent histories and cultural approaches and heritage discourses that offer less well-known but transferable insights. They all illustrate the contribution that dealing with the inheritance of the past can make to a full cultural engagement with sustainable development. The book provides an introductory framework to guide readers and a concluding section that draws on the case studies to emphasise their transferability and specificity and to outline the potential contribution of the examples to future research practice and policy in cultural sustainability. This is a unique offering for postgraduate students researchers and professionals interested in heritage management governance and community participation and cultural sustainability. | Theory and Practice in Heritage and Sustainability Between past and future

Secessionism and Terrorism Bombs Blood and Independence in Europe and Eurasia

Secessionism and Terrorism Bombs Blood and Independence in Europe and Eurasia

This book examines secessionist terrorism in a comparative context across Europe and Eurasia. The volume seeks to uncover comparative linkages between terrorism and secessionism; specifically examining terrorist organizations that also have a political goal of independence. It examines a wide range of case studies including the IRA in Northern Ireland ETA in the Basque Country FLNC in Corsica and ARD in Brittany KLA in Kosovo PKK and TAK in Turkish Kurdistan and IK in Chechnya. In doing so the book shows the linkages in terrorist tactics and demands as well as when and how ceasefires come into place. Ultimately none of the terrorist organizations studied here has obtained their maximalist goal of gaining independence but each has caused significant bloodshed and has contributed to the debate on the future of governance in Europe and Eurasia. The major strength of this format is to glean wider lessons on ethno-nationalism as well as the causes and outcomes of terrorist actions. Each case study also updates the literature on the individual cases to provide the most recent account of events in these countries. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism and political violence ethnic conflict nationalism European politics and International Relations in general. | Secessionism and Terrorism Bombs Blood and Independence in Europe and Eurasia
