The Death Drive - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Death Drive - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The first collection to provide an overview of the well-known psychoanalytic theory of the death drive in literary and cultural theory, this book features contributions from a range of prominent scholars working in the area of literature and psychanalysis. After its Freudian theorization, the death-drive has been re-interpreted by various psychoanalysts (including Melanie Klein, Jacques Lacan, and Slavoj Žižek), philosophers (Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, and Jean Baudrillard), political theorists (Judith Butler), queer theorists (Laurent Berlant, Lee Edelman), and posthumanist thinkers (Rosi Braidotti). This volume brings together some of the leading thinkers and theorists about the death-drive as a psychological, aesthetic, and theoretical principle in literary and cultural theory, examining texts by writers such as Plato, Henry James, and Ezra Pound.

Repetition, the Compulsion to Repeat, and the Death Drive - M. Andrew Holowchak - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Repetition, the Compulsion to Repeat, and the Death Drive - M. Andrew Holowchak - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Repetition, the Compulsion to Repeat, and the Death Drive is a critical examination of Freud’s uses of repetition as they lead to the compulsion to repeat and his infamous death drive. Like perhaps no other concept, repetition drove Freud to an understanding of human behavior through development of models of the human mind and a method of treating neurotic behavior. This book comprises three parts. Part I, “Some Early Uses of ‘Repetition’ in Psychoanalysis,” examines repetition both in clinical therapy and in Freud’s use of phylogenetic explanation. Part II, composed of three chapters, outlines Freud’s journey to his vaunted death drive, examines Beyond the Pleasure Principle, and analyzes Freud’s use of compulsion to repeat and the death drive post 1920. Last, Part III is a critical analysis of Freud on repetition and the death drive, discusses why Freud was so wedded to his controversial death drive, and what can be salvaged from Freud’s observations and speculations. Here readers will find that Holowchak, qua philosopher, and Lavin, qua clinician, have different answers when it comes to the death drive.

The Concept of Drive in Classical German Philosophy - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Concept of Drive in Classical German Philosophy - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This volume gathers a collection of fourteen original articles discussing the concept of drive in classical German philosophy. Its aim is to offer a comprehensive historical overview of the concept of drive at the turn of the 19 th century and to discuss it both historically and systematically. From the 18 th century onward, the concept of drive started to play an important role in emerging disciplines such as biology, anthropology, and psychology. In these fields, the concept of drive was used to describe the inner forces of organic nature, or, more particularly, human urges and desires. But it was in the period of classical German philosophy that this concept developed into an important philosophical concept crucial to Kant''s and post-Kantian idealistic systems. Reflecting the complexity of this concept, the volume first discusses historical sources of drive theories in Leibniz, Reimarus, and Blumenbach. Afterwards, the volume presents the philosophical accounts of drives in Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel, and also gives a systematic overview of other important drive theories that were formed around 1800 by Herder, Goethe, Jacobi, Novalis, Reinhold, Schiller, and Schopenhauer.

A Genealogical Analysis of Nietzschean Drive Theory - Brian Lightbody - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

A Genealogical Analysis of Nietzschean Drive Theory - Brian Lightbody - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

Nietzsche''s "drive theory", as it is referred to in the secondary literature, is a rich, unique and fascinating articulation of the human condition. In broad brushstrokes, Nietzsche appears to contend that all human psychology is either directly reducible to animal drives (e.g. sex, aggression) or indirectly explicable to the historical transformations thereof (e.g. ressentiment). Moreover, Nietzsche''s initial elucidation of drive theory in On the Genealogy of Morals (and elsewhere) is well-complemented with a fecund, profound, and clear elucidation of the concept in the secondary literature. Yet, there remains a glaring lacuna for all the discussion of drive theory in the scholarship. The secondary literature is delinquent in explaining how animal drives became incorporated to form the human psyche. Nietzsche''s account to elucidate how drives became "digested" or in his words "inpsychated" is called the Internalization Hypothesis. However, as it appears in GM: II, 16, the hypothesis is grossly inchoate. The result of this undertheorization is manifold; its deleterious effects resonate along many axes of Nietzsche''s philosophy. The present book, Internalized Valuation: A Genealogical Analysis of Nietzschean Drive Theory, offers an original and fruitful interpretation of Nietzsche''s philosophical psychology. First, it clarifies what drives are. Second, it provides a new way of thinking about Nietzsche''s genealogical methods and then applies these insights to The Genealogy itself . What follows is a work that not only sheds much-needed light on Nietzsche''s philosophy of mind in general and his theory of emotions in particular, but also informs and illuminates problematic passages of Nietzsche''s Genealogy.

Drive to Survive - Chris Daly - Bog - Fire Engineering Books - Plusbog.dk

Drive to Survive - Chris Daly - Bog - Fire Engineering Books - Plusbog.dk

Drive to Survive: The Art of Wheeling the Rig provides an in-depth examination of fire apparatus vehicle dynamics. This is not your average “driver training” textbook. Fire apparatus operators must understand how a vehicle maneuvers at roadway speed, and more importantly…why does it crash? Just as a doctor cannot heal the human body without a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology, an emergency vehicle operator cannot safely drive a fire apparatus without an in-depth knowledge of vehicle dynamics. This book provides an in-depth knowledge of topics required in the following NFPA standards NFPA 1002 “Standard for Fire Apparatus Driver/Operator Professional Qualifications” - Section 4-3 NFPA 1451 “Standard for Fire and Emergency Service Vehicle Operations Training Programs” NFPA 1500 “Standard on Fire Department Occupational Health and Safety Program” – Section 6Drive to Survive fills in the gaps between vehicle dynamics and crash causation. After 15 years of training and research, Chris Daly developed a training program combining his fire service and crash reconstruction training experience. Fire apparatus operators will learn the limits of driving an emergency vehicle and will understand that no matter how long they have been driving or how good they think they are, at some point physics will take over and the vehicle will lose control. Drive to Survive goes beyond talking about pump operations, aerial operations, and preventative maintenance. We can reduce the number of emergency vehicle crashes throughout the world by addressing key issues and providing emergency vehicle operations course (EVOC) instructors with methods to convey these concepts. Concepts you learn in this book relate to more than just driving a fire apparatus. These principles apply to anyone who drives a vehicle, including your family members and loved ones.

The Pen and the People - Susan Whyman - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Pen and the People - Susan Whyman - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Susan Whyman draws on a hidden world of previously unknown letter writers to explore bold new ideas about the history of writing, reading and the novel. Capturing actual dialogues of people discussing subjects as diverse as marriage, poverty, poetry, and the emotional lives of servants, The Pen and the People will be enjoyed by everyone interested in history, literature, and the intimate experiences of ordinary people. Based on over thirty-five previously unknown letter collections, it tells the stories of workers and the middling sort - a Yorkshire bridle maker, a female domestic servant, a Derbyshire wheelwright, an untrained woman writing poetry and short stories, as well as merchants and their families. Their ordinary backgrounds and extraordinary writings challenge accepted views that popular literacy was rare in England before 1800. This democratization of letter writing could never have occurred without the development of the Royal Mail. Drawing on new information gleaned from personal letters, Whyman reveals how the Post Office had altered the rhythms of daily life long before the nineteenth century. As the pen, the post, and the people became increasingly connected, so too were eighteenth-century society and culture slowly and subtly transformed.

Cultures of the Death Drive - Esther Sanchez Pardo - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

Cultures of the Death Drive - Esther Sanchez Pardo - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

Cultures of the Death Drive is a comprehensive guide to the work of pioneering psychoanalyst Melanie Klein (1882–1960) and to developments in Kleinian theory to date. It is also an analysis and a demonstration of the distinctive usefulness of Klein’s thought for understanding modernist literature and visual art. Esther Sánchez-Pardo examines the issues that the seminal discourses of psychoanalysis and artistic modernism brought to the fore in the early twentieth century and points toward the uses of Kleinian thinking for reconceptualizing the complexities of identity and social relations today. Sánchez-Pardo argues that the troubled political atmosphere leading to both world wars created a melancholia fueled by “cultures of the death drive” and the related specters of object loss—loss of coherent and autonomous selves, of social orders where stability reigned, of metaphysical guarantees, and, in some cases, loss and fragmentation of empire. This melancholia permeated, and even propelled, modernist artistic discourses. Sánchez-Pardo shows how the work of Melanie Klein, the theorist of melancholia par excellence, uniquely illuminates modernist texts, particularly their representations of gender and sexualities. She offers a number of readings—of works by Virginia Woolf, René Magritte, Lytton Strachey, Djuna Barnes, and Countee Cullen—that reveal the problems melancholia posed for verbal and visual communication and the narrative and rhetorical strategies modernist artists derived to either express or overcome them. In her afterword, Sánchez-Pardo explicates the connections between modernist and contemporary melancholia. A valuable contribution to psychoanalytic theory, gender and sexuality studies, and the study of representation in literature and the visual arts, Cultures of the Death Drive is a necessary resource for those interested in the work of Melanie Klein.

The Drive for Knowledge - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Drive for Knowledge - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Humans constantly search for and use information to solve a wide range of problems related to survival, social interactions, and learning. While it is clear that curiosity and the drive for knowledge occupies a central role in defining what being human means to ourselves, where does this desire to know the unknown come from? What is its purpose? And how does it operate? These are some of the core questions this book seeks to answer by showcasing new and exciting research on human information-seeking. The volume brings together perspectives from leading researchers at the cutting edge of the cognitive sciences, working on human brains and behavior within psychology, computer science, and neuroscience. These vital connections between disciplines will continue to lead to further breakthroughs in our understanding of human cognition.

Drink and Drug Drive Cases Notes - Pauline M. Callow - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Drink and Drug Drive Cases Notes - Pauline M. Callow - Bog - Wildy, Simmonds and Hill Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Many thousands of people are prosecuted each year for drink and drug driving offences. The legislation favours the prosecution in a number of ways, for example, by requiring those under investigation to give evidence against themselves in the form of specimens of breath, blood or urine, but also affords certain safeguards to suspects. The conviction rate is exceptionally high, and the provisions have given rise to a wealth of case law.Drink and Drug Drive Case Notes comprises summaries of the many cases on drink driving, and the fewercases on drug driving, which have come before the High Court, the Court of Appeal, the House of Lords and, in one instance, the Supreme Court. Over six hundred judgments are summarised. Each note is presented as a short statement of the facts of the case, the question(s) put to the appeal court and an extract from the judgment. The notes are intended to provide a broad outline of the trends in the case law and as starting points for readers seeking guidance on particular issues.This third edition includes notes of some seventy-five cases decided since the second edition was published. Themes running through the new cases include the interpretation of the provisions on reasonable cause to believe that the breath analysis device has not produced a reliable indication of the suspect’s breath alcohol level, and on the application of the Criminal Procedure Rules to proceedings for drink and drug driving. At the time of publication, the so-called “statutory option” has just been removed, and section 5A of the Road Traffic Act 1988, creating new offences of driving, attempting to drive, and in charge, with a concentration of a specified controlled drug above a specified limit, has come into force. The offences are framed in much the same terms of the excess alcohol offences, but testing will be by the analysis of blood or urine only. While much of the case law concerning drink-driving will be relevant, the new provisions will no doubt give rise to their own body of case law in due time.Drink and Drug Drive Case Notes was first published, as Drink Drive Case Notes, as a product of collaboration between Lion Laboratories – the manufacturers of much of the breath-testing equipment used in the UK and throughout the world – and the author. This expanded and updated edition of Drink and Drug Drive Case Notes will prove a useful reference for police, prosecutors, defenders and legal advisers.“As a reference guide, this is an extremely helpful addition to a legal adviser’s kitbag.” The Justices’ Clerk, of the first edition“[A]n extremely useful complement to any standard text book on drink driving matters. I would commend it not only to defence lawyers but also to those who prosecute in this area of law.”Solicitors Journal, of the second edition

Electrical Drive Simulation with MATLAB/Simulink - Viktor Perelmuter - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Electrical Drive Simulation with MATLAB/Simulink - Viktor Perelmuter - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The chapters of this book discuss the modeling of electric drives, taking into account their relationship with the technological process they serve, which significantly affects the composition, layout, and characteristics of the electric drive. There are no published books of this kind, and this book fills a gap in the literature. This book deals with electric drives for rolling mills, paper machines, a number of several hoisting and transport devices; these installations are very common and very complex, so that modeling methods in their development and study are mandatory. The book focuses on issues such as the transmission of torque by elastic shafts, the transmission of torque by an endless elastic belt in paper machines and conveyors, the transmission of torque by friction of pressed rolls in the paper industry, the consideration of the elastic properties of long ropes in some hoisting and transport machines, and the effect of swinging a moving load in such machines. More than 100 models of the electrical drives that are made with the use of the program environment MATLAB ® /Simulink ® are appended to this book. The aims of these models are to aid students studying electrical drives of the various manufacturing machines, to facilitate the understanding of various electrical drive functions, and to create a platform for the development of systems by readers in their fields. This book can be used by engineers and investigators as well as undergraduate and graduate students to develop new electrical drives and investigate the existing ones.

The Pen and the Sword - Calvin F. Exoo - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Pen and the Sword - Calvin F. Exoo - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Pen and the Sword is the only comprehensive examination of how the media have covered the 21 st Century′s #1 news story: terrorism and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is the full story—from 9/11 to the Obama doctrine, and including: - The war in Afghanistan. There were two sides to this story, but the press told only one, and the untold story would return to haunt us. - The campaign for war in Iraq. What did the press know and when did they know it about the web of lies that led us into war? - Iraq, from invasion to "Mission Accomplished." When the story of war is told as patriotic hymn, Playstation game, or melodrama of macho heroes and bad guys dressed in black, important things are left out. - Aftermath, from "Mission Accomplished" to the present. Something has changed since the Vietnam War, when the press finally found its critical voice. However, the 21 st Century media continue to cling to an untenable, pro-war story, even after the public has abandoned it. The Pen and the Sword uses this tragic and eye-opening case study of the news at war to ask, "Why?" and to offer a critical perspective on our mass media, including the latest information on the underpinnings of the news business—corporate ownership, the power of elites to define the news—and adds three important new features of the media landscape: - The media profit crisis of the late ′00s and how it is affecting the news. - The creation and mainstreaming of a new right-wing media surround-sound system. - The increasing importance of entertainment media and soft news in shaping our views. Intended Audience Providing a critical perspective on our mass media, this text is ideal for undergraduate courses such as Media & Politics, International Journalism, Political Communication, Crime and Media, and Sociology of Mass Media. Praise for this book "I am very enthusiastic about the book′s clear and forthright vision of systemic crisis, involving the social institutions of media and government. Prof. Exoo takes a very strong structural approach in his explanation; this is the most detailed analysis of media representations of the current war that I have seen. The chronological development of the journalistic narrative of the war is engaging and persuasive…This work is a good example of how responsible academics can contribute to the public dialogue." —Harry W. Haines, Department of Communication, Trinity University "The writing is fantastic: Very easy to read, to understand, and to synthesize. The arguments are well crafted and well documented. This is the most up to date analysis of the media coverage of the Iraq War I have read, and it would put news coverage of the run-up to the War into context. …It′s a fun read, it′s accessible for students, and it′s timely. What more could a professor ask for?" —Alison D. Dagnes, Department of Political Science, Shippensburg University "The news media pay a lot of lip service to the importance of objective reporting and to their role in maintaining a healthy democracy. This book successfully challenges both assertions. … Exoo′s book provides an exhaustive illustration of what′s wrong with the news media, using a very relevant and timely example." —Robert Heiner, Department of Social Science, Plymouth State University "This text will challenge students to reexamine their beliefs about the news media, helping them to become more critical citizens. In doing this, the text would engage students′ attention in crucial developments in the media, in politics, and in the intersection of the two." —Paul R. Brewer, Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
