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

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

An Analysis of Frantz Fanon's Black Skin White Masks

An Analysis of Frantz Fanon's Black Skin White Masks

Frantz Fanon’s explosive Black Skin White Masks is a merciless exposé of the psychological damage done by colonial rule across the world. Using Fanon’s incisive analytical abilities to expose the consequences of colonialism on the psyches of colonized peoples it is both a crucial text in post-colonial theory and a lesson in the power of analytical skills to reveal the realities that hide beneath the surface of things. Fanon was himself part of a colonized nation – Martinique – and grew up with the values and beliefs of French culture imposed upon him while remaining relegated to an inferior status in society. Qualifying as a psychiatrist in France before working in Algeria (a French colony subject to brutal repression) his own experiences granted him a sharp insight into the psychological problems associated with colonial rule. Like any good analytical thinker Fanon’s particular skill was in breaking things down and joining dots. His analysis of colonial rule exposed its implicit assumptions – and how they were replicated in colonised populations – allowing Fanon to unpick the hidden reasons behind his own conflicted psychological make up and those of his patients. Unflinchingly clear-sighted in doing so Black Skin White Masks remains a shocking read today. | An Analysis of Frantz Fanon's Black Skin White Masks
