Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. With La nostalgia ferita [Wounded Nostalgia], Eugenio Borgna develops another term in his personal lexicon of emotion. Here he describes wounded nostalgia, with its constellation of keywords: memory, time, homesickness, childhood. But there is also nostalgia for death, for a face that, as R…ilke wrote, haunts us, sometimes impossible to find, as well as nostalgia for life when we are afflicted by illness. Nostalgia that is open to hope is different from nostalgia that remains frozen in the past. These are some of the words thematized in this book. There is nostalgia wounded by pain, and nostalgia spared from it. Naturally, Borgna refers to Leopardi and Proust, but also to Emily Dickinson and Guido Gozzano. Ultimately, nostalgia can be understood as a salvaging of the past, as its gift of meaning; and as an antithesis, too, to the dragon of indifference that leads to an emotional wasteland. With a preface by Michele Dantini. With La nostalgia ferita [Wounded Nostalgia], Eugenio Borgna develops another term in his personal lexicon of emotion. Here he describes wounded nostalgia, with its constellation of keywords: memory, time, homesickness, childhood.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Hope allows us to look at reality with eyes not clouded or obscured by appearance or habit, convention or repetition; it allows us to open ourselves to the future, freeing us from the rigid cage of the past and present. In Speranza e disperazione [Hope and Despair], Eugenio Borgna follows t…he concept of hope through moments in literature, on the one hand, and his work in psychiatry on the other. Hope may be fragile, but it is the only way to pull human beings out of loneliness and the darkest depths of the soul. Consistently listening to patients, and in close conversation with the poetry of Cesare Pavese, among others, he paints a portrait of the slender figure of one of lifes most revolutionary forces. With a preface by Ilaria de Seta. Eugenio Borgna follows the concept of hope through moments in literature, on the one hand, and his work in psychiatry on the other. Hope may be fragile, but it is the only way to pull human beings out of loneliness and the darkest depths of the soul.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Phenomenology allows us to consider psychiatry not only as a natural science, but also a human one, where treating the wounded self takes places along a path of knowledge built on kindness and sensitivity, ethics and humanity, exploring areas that seem beyond the realm of psychiatry but act…ually share a common emotional ground. Wounded emotions are a part of all kinds of psychic suffering, not only depression. But whether we like it or not, emotions follow us in every circumstance of our lives, in good times and bad, not only when we are unwell, even if we are not always aware of them. In La follia che e anche in noi [The Madness That is Also in Us], Eugenio Borgna brings together his reflections on the past, present, and future of psychiatry with moments from his own life that are rhapsodic and winding, where experiences near and far in time have flowed together. With a preface by Stefano Redaelli. In this book, Eugenio Borgna brings together his reflections on the past, present, and future of psychiatry with moments from his own life that are rhapsodic and winding, where experiences near and far in time have flowed together.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Rockwell Kent (1882-1971), artist, writer and adventurer, is one of the most celebrated American modernists, but he remains a controversial figure because of his political activism and personal life.This book emphasizes the interplay between Kents public persona and his private self. A man…of considerable charm and vitality, he led an outwardly tempestuous existence especially in affairs of the heart but, at the same time, he created much of his best art in solitude. He was a romantic who fell violently in love and then decisively out of it. He loved many women, but he thought only of his own needs in his relationships with them; he thought the profession of artist gave him leeway to think only of his own needs. He strove, sometimes with great difficulty, to achieve material needs, but his art is replete with transcendental yearnings. By confronting the contradictions between the artist and the man, this book offers the first sustained study to connect those opposing sides of Kents character. In doing so, it breaks new ground: rather than treating his work and his private life in isolation, it reveals how the tensions between the two shaped bothand in the process uncovers, with unprecedented clarity, the tortured soul of one of Americas most important modernist artists.This is the first volume in Dissident Biographies, a new series.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Attempts to conceal grammatical gender, dictated by the "inclusive" desire to overcome the simple distinction between masculine and feminine (gender binarism) and make room for the neutral, affect the national languagesof a variety of Western countries with increasing frequency and intensit…y, with the risk of weakening or compromising the functioning of the languages supporting structures. A grammatical innovation has a very different impact from a neologism, and when that innovation, under the excuse of inclusion, ends up infiltrating a public act, or any other text issued or produced by a public entity, penetrating it in a pervasive way, the institutional endorsement should set off the alarm bells. In our case, simplicistically overlapping two levels that must instead be kept distinct one "structural" (technical-linguistic) and the other "superstructural" (socio-cultural) means that, in the growth economy of an entire community of speakers and writers, the structures of an idiom, above all if stratified over time, are bent to accommodate the desires of those who, against all logic and the most elementary common sense, expect immediate changes that would upset or crack the linguistic system. This ends up making even the simple decodingof information difficult. How to promote inclusivity without destroying languages and erasing centuries of linguistic and cultural stratification with a bang (considering it would spell defeat for the whole of humanity): the truth is, in the end, theres a solution to every problem Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the third decade of the 21st century, Europe is facing several serious challenges to its prosperity and freedom. Those include economic, financial and productive decline compared to the rest of the world, demographic stagnation, the effects of climate change, energy dependence from other… continents and exclusion from technological innovations.This book proposes the creation of a federal European state that would replace and succeed the EU, its member states and other willing European countries. This is the only way for Europe to successfully address all those challenges and stay at centre stage in world affairs, in the century of globalization, climate change and the fourth industrial revolution. But addressing Europes existential challenges is not the only reason to move in that direction. A federal Europe would also become a major, self-sufficient geopolitical power, as strong as orstronger than the USA, Russia or China. It would be a model for other regional federations around the planet.The book is not restricted to the analysis of why we need a federal European state but further suggests substantial policies for many different sectors: economy, banking, foreign affairs, defence, education, health, social security, immigration, human rights, agriculture, fourth industrial revolution, circular economy and climate to name some of them. At the end, it presents a rough budget estimation to show that such a federation would not only be desirable but also be feasible. This political proposal for the creation of a federal European republic that would replace and succeed the EU, its member states and other willing countries, analyses the reasons why, and the means how, to arrive to that goal. It also introduces the policies to follow in a large number of areas. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Digital technologies are revolutionizing global economy, modes of production and consumption, at individual and collective levels. Nevertheless, involved socio-economic models can be often incompatible with major challenges faced by humanity, notably environmental crisis and climate change…that warn about the end of a linear growth model which aimed at "produce, consume and throw away", in order to move towards an economic development that tends to limit the waste of resources and environmental impact. For that purpose, innovation should be responsible and at the service of a more sustainable development.This apparent contradiction between digital production forces and bio-climatic issues can be questioned by the emergence of innovation ecosystems. At their center, new technologies constitute drivers for solving problems of degradation of nature, food, and survival of species. In this perspective, the questions addressed in this book focus on the beneficial interactions between digital technologies and environmental challenges.Both of them shape the edges of a new socio-economic era. The authors of this book detail the paradigm of this new economic, industrial and corporate era that emphasizes investments in innovation, R&D and aggregation of expertise, skills and knowledge through innovation digital ecosystems to supporting digital revolution and ecological transition.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Europe has to come to terms with its increasing cultural diversity. In current debate migration is typically presented merely as a social burden. This book envisions a future in which native Europeans and those with a migrant background together the New Europeans come to the conclusion that… they should build a new society jointly.An inclusive European society can be generated by launching a common project as an alternative to neoliberalism, developing an economy that is at the service of society. For this, democratic ownership should be the lever. In that process, migrants will be important and resilient catalysts. The book sets out a roadmap for what the future could look like, presenting a vision of Europe at the end of the 21st century as a real Utopia.This book bucks the trend of depressing accounts on migration from outside Europe. It offers a promissory narrative for the continents long-term future. Drawing on political, sociological, economic and philosophical insights, the author sticks his neck out, provokes perhaps, but always with the invitation for a constructive dialogue. After a symmetric learning process of mutual integration, native Europeans and those with a migrant background will conclude that they should build a new society jointly and launch a common project for democratic governance of the economy. A roadmap is set out for what Europe could look like at the end of the 21st century, as a real Utopia.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book examines the position of black and mixed-race characters in Irish film culture. By exploring key film and television productions from the 1990s to the present day, the author uncovers and interrogates concepts of Irish identity, history and nation. In 2009, Ireland had the highest… birth rate in Europe, with almost 24 per cent of births attributed to the new Irish. By 2013, 17 per cent of the nation was foreign-born. Ireland has always been a culturally diverse space and has produced a series of high-profile mixed-race stars, including Phil Lynott, Ruth Negga and Simon Zebo, among others. Through an analysis of screen visualizations of the black Irish, this study uncovers forgotten histories, challenges the perceived homogeneity of the nation, evaluates integration, and considers the future of the new Ireland. It makes a creative and significant theoretical contribution to scholarly work on the relationship between representation and identity in Irish cinema. This book was the winner of the 2011 Peter Lang Young Scholars Competition in Irish Studies. This book examines the position of black and mixed-race characters in Irish film culture. Exploring key film and TV productions from the 1990s to the present day, the author interrogates concepts of Irish identity, history and nation, making a significant theoretical contribution to scholarly work on representation and identity in Irish film.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this research monograph, two empirical studies are presented, whose aim is to explore the linguistic cues to deception in written English and Spanish using computational tools like ALIAS WISER and LIWC. The tools have been tested on ground-truth data. After the automated text analysis, s…tatistical classifiers are used to determine the best protocol for computational classification of true and false statements, and the role of emotional involvement is analyzed in low-stakes deception. The results demonstrate that, in our corpora, there is a real difference between "laboratory-produced" lies told in an experimental setting and high-stakes lies told in a police investigation.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Facially wounded servicemen were perhaps the ultimate victims of the First World War. They became walking reminders of the conflict and their experiences reveal the impact of the war not only on the combatants but also on European societies at large. This book explores for the first time th…e individual and collective significance of facially disfigured First World War combatants in France, Germany and Great Britain. The analysis undertaken in this book uncovers how the wounded perceived and presented themselves and how they were perceived and represented by others. Artistic and literary representations are considered, along with initiatives carried out by hospitals, the government and the combatants fellow countrymen. With an interdisciplinary and comparative approach, this study illuminates our understanding of how the combatant and the onlooker made sense of the experience and the memory of the war.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Much has been written about the history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, but one story remains untold: that of the grassroots activism that maintained local communities in the face of violence. This book speaks through the voices of the activists themselves, drawn from both sides of a d…ivided society. It records their memories of community organising and work on social issues, as well as their insights into surviving the politics of the period and contributing to peacebuilding. Providing a vivid account of how politics touched peoples lives, the book celebrates the energy, imagination and determination of community activism. It also examines the challenges faced by policymakers struggling to make sense of conflicting community narratives and official government positions.There are vital lessons here for organisers, activists and policymakers working in any contested society, particularly those operating at the interface between social need and peacebuilding. Informed by an oral history approach, this book argues that conflict transformation is possible and that community activism has a major contribution to make in creating alternatives to violence.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Since the end of the Second World War, the role of the United States in the international arena has been closely linked to the stability of its security alliance system. For strategic reasons, one of the major goals for the U.S. foreign policy has always been preventing the rise of a hegemo…nic power in Eurasia. Actually, history and geopolitics tend to show that the global balance of power strictly depends on dynamics, threats and acting players in Eurasia. Despite Chinas growing global influence, it is in Asia-Pacific that the Chinese quest for power has played out more vividly. In this framework, the partnership between Russia and China represents a source of worries for the West as a whole and, more specifically, the gravest strategic threat to U.S. overseas interests. The book analyze the current U.S. alliance system across Eurasia through a multidisciplinary approach, combining history and political science, past and current affairs, and outlining possible future scenarios. They will focus on the Western allies and partners and the Chinese perceptions of the U.S.-led security system seen as a direct threat.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Georges Pompidou and Edward Heath marked a milestone in the centuries-old relationship between France and the United Kingdom, one shaped by rivalries and mutual stereotypes but also strategic convergence, especially in times of crisis. They formed a Franco-British couple at a time when the…French president was assessing the transformation of the global economic and monetary system, and when the British Prime Minister was successfully convincing both Parliament and public opinion of the opportunity offered by the EEC for Britain to anchor itself within Europe.The fiftieth anniversary of Georges Pompidous death and Edward Heaths departure from Downing Street, and the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale (2024), naturally invite us to reflect on this historical turning point and its long-term consequences, particularly in light of archival materials recently made available at the French National Archives and the Weston Library in Oxford, which open up broad avenues for research.This volume brings together several articles by French and British specialists covering the various dimensions of the Franco-British relationship in Europefrom strategic cooperation to culturewhile highlighting the evolution of the United Kingdoms political and economic situation. G. Pompidou and E. Heath marked a turning point in Franco-British relations, inaugurating a half-century of British involvement in European integration. Thanks to newly available French and British archives, it is now possible to gain a clearer understanding of the factors that strengthened and reshaped Franco-British relations in Europe.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In education, as in other areas of human endeavour, we often strive for what is easiest, least troubling and most certain. We want clear, definitive answers to our questions. Ambiguity and complexity may be viewed as impediments to our progress as learners, and doubt will sometimes be portr…ayed as a sign of weakness. This book pushes back against these tendencies. Informed by the work of Giacomo Leopardi, Arthur Schopenhauer, Simone Weil, Maxine Greene, Miguel de Unamuno, and Simone de Beauvoir, it explores some of the uncomfortable, unsettling, less frequently visited edges of education. These conceptual and lived spaces often blur the boundaries between the possible and the impossible, setting limits while also opening up unexpected opportunities for teaching and learning. They are there for us all to experience, if only we can open our eyes to see them and muster the courage to investigate them. Extending upon the key ideas from Professor Robert's previous volume, Happiness, Hope and Despair (2016), this book introduces new literary figures and fresh approaches to exploring the inner territories at the Edges of Education.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book explores the evolution of the university, moving from its classical focus on Bildung and its symbolic association with ruins, to the contemporary struggle to define the role of values in shaping society through education and research. Education and research are presented as crucia…l phenomena for societal development, while individualism is highlighted as a key factor in understanding the interaction between society and the surrounding world. We briefly examine the international and multidisciplinary nature of modern education and research, emphasizing the influence of technological progress on their aims and practices. By linking educational philosophies from various cultural epistemes, this book reviews contributions from Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (Swiss educational reformer), Friedrich Froebel (German educational reformer), John Dewey (American pragmatist), Miguel de Unamuno and Ortega y Gasset (Spanish intellectuals), Paul Natorp (neo-Kantian pedagogue), Maria Montessori (creator of the Montessori method), Jean Piaget (who connected epistemology with psychology), and Bertrand Russell (British philosopher and educator). The book contextualizes the role of social factors in shaping education>al practices across cultural contexts. Foundational ideas from Rousseau, Kant, and Hegel are discussed, along with contributions by Natorp and Herbart to social pedagogy and individual ethics. Subsequent sections delve into three core areas: ethical issues in education, the conceptualization of education as a value, and the influence of modern technologies on educational practices. The chapter on research pro>vides a historical overview of how science has been integrated into universities in the West and developed externally in the East. It examines ethical issues in research, positions research as a value, and evaluates the transformative role of modern technologies in scientific inquiry. The discussion transitions to the modern university, tracing its historical mission and organizational models through the perspectives of Vernadsky, Ortega y Gasset, and Russell. Topics such as academic citizenship and the significance of public health research are explored as integral to contemporary university functions. The book also investigates the impact of technological progress on education and research, emphasizing the pivotal role of university-driven public health research. The following chapter, Case Study: Teaching and Research in Georgia, examines authors experience with the organization and management of teaching and research in Georgian universities. This case study highlights the challenges faced by universities in a rapidly changing world and reflects on how classical approaches to education and research can be transformed when these institutions become both products of mass consumption and centers of excellence. Georgian universities offer a lens to understand current dynamics and envision the near future of academic life. The final chapter, Human Happiness, explores the concept of happiness through an educational lens. It investigates how education can cultivate a unique sense of fulfillmenta form of pleasure that, while akin to others, is distinct in its reliance on intellectual and personal growth facilitated by learning. This book discussed three approaches for organizing educational systems, as well as the technical development of education. In addition to theoretical analyses, the book also offers a case study of teaching and research in Universities in Georgia.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Cold War Narratives reveals the power that representations, understood as both cultural production and public discourse, have held in shaping the imaginaries of early Cold War America. By engaging conflicting accounts of the 1950s as either affirmations of a prosperous and confident nation…(in TV shows, popular sociology, and advertising) or as critiques of a society in the throes of fear, rebelliousness, and inequality (in film, literature, and media), this study sheds new light on the ambivalent imaginaries of the American 1950s. Pitting visions of the Red Scare and of nuclear proliferation against narratives of an upbeat nation, eager to suburbanize and to adopt the new ethics of televised consensus, Cold War Narratives illustrates how Americas leading metaphors of conformity shaped problematic gender roles, domesticity and consumption in the 1950s. It also exposes how dissenting voices to the Cold War consensus converged around the affirmation of specific identitarian discourses, especially highlighting the agency of youth and of the rising civil rights movement, and the way in which these two entered into unprecedented dialog through new discursive formations such as beat culture and rock n roll. By engaging conflicting accounts of the 1950s as either affirmations of a prosperous and confident nation (in TV shows, popular sociology, and advertising) or as critiques of a society in the throes of fear, rebelliousness, and inequality (in film, literature, and media), this study focuses on the ambivalent imaginaries of the American 1950s.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Throughout the history of human civilization, the definition of the animal and its relationship to humans have been contentious issues. This book investigates the notion of what constituted an animal in Early Medieval English culture as well as how the animal-human interaction is portrayed…in the Anglo-Saxon literary corpus. In this regard, the animals portrayals in the Exeter Book Riddles and of monstrous creatures in the Wonders of the East provided a fertile field for research because these texts, rarely connected to allegorical readings and offering viewpoints that might be seen as complementary, deal with fundamental issues regarding what it meant to be human for Early Medieval English society.This study offers fresh insights into the characters and themes explored in the Exeter Book collection and in the Wonders of the East, looking for the spaces of Anglo-Saxon thought in which animality and humanity appear to meet. The author not only discovers the peculiar features in the definition of humanity with regard to animal and non-human figures, but is able to demonstrate that a strong anthropocentric vocation can coexist with an outlook that recognizes a close affinity among different species. This book provides a parallel reading of the ExeterBook riddles and theWondersof the East in order to identify the loci in the Early Medieval English literary tradition where animality and humanitymay have overlapped & explores how both collections expose the means by which human, animals and other creatures resist a fixed categorization.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Sigmund Freuds theories and clinical practices focused primarily on individuals. As such, they are rarely considered when critiquing collective behavior or symbolic re-presentations. However, as the founder of depth psychology a field of study that considers how unconscious components of th…e human experience influence psychological conditions Freud understood the collective nature of thought and behavior. While his ideas are not typically a perspective applied to the study of media and popular culture, of audiences, or of content creation, once unpacked through a psychoanalytic lens, Freuds theories shine a bright light on human motivation and expression.This book is the first presentation of his ideas within this context. It is primarily an introduction to Freud and his theories intended for a communication studies audience. In addition to summarizing Freuds major concepts, how/when/if they are taught in psychology programs, and the resultant "Freud Wars," this book offers examples of application of his ideas to cinema, advertising, public relations, and other forms of expression and recommendations for future research.There are implications and applications to the everyday world as well for anyone interested in how theories of human development, beginning with childhood personality construction through adult sexuality, repression, and expression, can be understood through a contemporary lens."Of all of the contentious and oft-misconstrued figures in the history of ideas, few provide such a thorny and frustrating subject as Sigmund Freud. In this short-butsubstantial book, Deb Merskin gives us a considerate and approachable understanding of Freuds work. She begins with a biographical sketch of Freud, builds on this foundation to outline the full spectrum of Freuds theoretical interventions. With the basic rhythms and motifs established, Merskin then combines all of these elements to develop a symphonic sense of what Freuds ideas can contribute to communication and media studies, with emphases on social theory, film theory, advertising, political communication, media psychology, and cultural studies. Here is a true introduction to Freuds ideas as they relate to communication and media studies."David W. Park, Lake Forest College Provides an overview of Freuds psychoanalytic theories and uses them as a lens through which to view media and popular culture. The book reviews how Freuds theories have been applied to the study of film, advertising, news, and public relations, and discusses how scholars can use Freuds ideas as tools to understand contemporary experiences.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this groundbreaking study, Misinformation Finds Them unearths how the perceived threat of misinformation effects on other people is just as potent if not more so than the actual impact that hybrid media systems have on democracy and community in the heartland. Here, it is not that rural…Americans are particularly vulnerable to misinformation; they are highly active media consumers, but they generally rely on news to "find me" rather than actively critically engaging with a diverse set of sources. This passive News Finds Me approach to media engagement, coupled with their belief that others are more susceptible to receiving and spreading misleading or false narratives, gives rise to distrust and polarization.The Misinformation Finds Them (MFT) perception is particularly potent as algorithms and AI are increasingly embedded in news distribution systems that seek to maximize user engagement with personalized content. The perceived threat of misinformation can exacerbate polarization, but the notion that misinformation radicalizes rural populations simply is not accurate, and rural Americans show no meaningful differences to their more urban counterparts in terms of knowledge and media use. "Vogts and Groshek offer fascinating insights into the polarized media ecosystem of rural America, an under-researched area that is meticulously addressed in this innovative book. It empirically provides an understanding of the way many rural Americans in Kansas distrustfully view media, and the impact of social networks on them, especially their beliefs in misinformation itself. The authors cleverly attempt to go beyond the standard discussion of misinformation, offering a more nuanced view with their origination of the "Misinformation Finds Them" concept. It is a must read for any citizen or scholar interested in better understanding the contemporary media environment of rural America." Ahmed al-Rawi, Associate Professor Simon Fraser University "A timely, unflinching investigation into how misinformation quietly radicalizes rural America. Misinformation Finds Them doesnt just expose echo chambers. It humanizes them. Vogts and Grosheks essential read challenges stereotypes, connects hybrid media, bonding social capital, news finds me perception, and other media theories to real lives, and urges us to rethink how truth, identity, and democracy intersect in USAs heartland." Homero Gil de Zuniga, Distinguished Professor University of Salamanca and Pennsylvania State University This study suggests a new phenomenon; the Misinformation Finds Them (MFT) perception. This suggests that people are not only exposed to misinformation by participating in their usual media and social ecosystems, but that they consider the threat of misinformation real and more impactful on others. This distortion results in greater polarization. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The imponderable value of the literary to critical discourse is given pre-eminence in this study of cultural turning points in the history of Bengali literature, so that we might investigate the place of the aesthetic in the composition of a literary culture without denuding it of its signi…ficance and aura or, for that matter, its historicity. Mapping a fifty-year period that is fundamental to any understanding of nineteenth-century Bengal 1831 to 1881 this book focuses on literary debates generated around the works of Iswarchandra Gupta, Rangalal Bandyopadhyay, Madhusudan Datta, Hemchandra Bandyopadhyay, Nabinchandra Sen, and Rabindranath Tagore. It thereby investigates the place of the aesthetic, the political, and the collective in the making of a modern cultural sphere and the relevance and significance of the literary to our self-making as readers today. Providing a new understanding of the interactive, living, and cataclysmic nature of events of the period which has been identified and then reviled as a period of renaissance or false renaissance, The Literary Thing reveals how this unique period holds the key to understanding the shape of the Indian modern.
