Psychoanalytic Reflections on The Freudian Death Drive In Theory the Clinic and Art

Psychoanalytic Reflections on The Freudian Death Drive In Theory the Clinic and Art

Psychoanalytic Reflections on The Freudian Death Drive is a highly accessible book that investigates the relevance complexity and originality of a hugely controversial Freudian concept which the author argues continues to exert enormous influence on modernity and plays an often-imperceptible role in the violence and so-called sad passions of contemporary society. With examples from cinema literature and the consulting room the book’s four chapters – theory the clinic art and contemporaneity – investigate every angle usually little explored of the death drive: its positive functions such as its contribution to subjectification; its ambiguous relationship with sublimation; the clues it provides about transgenerational matters; and its effects on the feminine. This is not a book about aggression a type of extroflection of the death drive made visible studied and striking; rather it is about the derivatives of the pulsion that changes in the clinic in life in society in artistic forms. With bold and innovative concepts and by making connections to film and books Rossella Valdrè unequivocally argues that the contemporary clinic is a clinic of the death drive. Psychoanalytic Reflections on The Freudian Death Drive seeks to relaunch the debate on a controversial and neglected concept and will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists. Today’s renewed interest in the Freudian death drive attests to its extraordinary ability to explain both new pathologies and socio-economic phenomena. | Psychoanalytic Reflections on The Freudian Death Drive In Theory the Clinic and Art

Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

This book explores issues related to people policy and places of teaching and learning resulting from the trend towards dual and multi-mode provision of distance education. It explores reasons for the trend as well as some of the opportunities and challenges which may arise. In many developing countries demand for higher education provision outstrips the supply of full-time places; while in many developed countries the cost of full-time provision means that distance and online provision may be more accessible than full-time provision. At the same time the growing use of online learning platforms has generally resulted in more flexible forms of provision. Consequently an increasing number of higher education institutions now offer dual (contact and distance or online) or multi-mode (contact and distance and online and other) forms of provision. This volume helps to navigate this changing distance education landscape. The chapters in this book were originally published in Distance Education. | Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

The Dual-Entity of Market Competition Establishment and Development of Mezzoeconomics

The Dual-Entity of Market Competition Establishment and Development of Mezzoeconomics

The relationship between the government and the market lies at the heart of Economics as a discipline. This title approaches this issue with a new lens termed mezzoeconomics—A branch of modern economics that mainly studies regional economic entities and the allocation of regional resources after they are generated. Combining mezzoeconomic theory with practice in the light of China’s Reform and Opening-up the author analyzes the regional governments’ participation in market competition the dual entities (enterprises and regional governments) of market competition and a mature market economy featuring a strong form of effective government and efficient market. Three corresponding theories are proposed—the Regional Government Competition Theory the Dual-Entity of Market Competition Theory (DEMC) and the “Double Strong Forms” Theory. The author hopes that these theories of mezzoeconomics can build a new effective theoretical model and serve as a guidance for regional governments to reform and innovate their governance philosophy and policies. This book will be of keen interest to students and scholars of economics and regional governance. | The Dual-Entity of Market Competition Establishment and Development of Mezzoeconomics

Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean Continuing Aspects of British and French Dominion

Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean Continuing Aspects of British and French Dominion

Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean (1986) is a comparative and systematic study of the legacies bequeathed by British and French colonial rule in the Caribbean. It examines in detail what are self-evidently among the more tangible legacies from the era of slavery presently manifest in the region: the pattern structure and decline of the sugar economy in the French and Commonwealth Caribbean; the continuing influence of Britain in the pre- and post-independence political systems of the Commonwealth Caribbean as well as of France over its Caribbean possessions; and the retention and adaptation of cultural forms derived from colonial practice as variously exhibited in the educational and ideological beliefs current within the region. These essays offer provocative insights and report intriguing parallels between the British and French experiences in the region. They also offer new interpretations of the processes at work in the area and confirm the utility of the comparative approach in appraising its problems. | Dual Legacies in the Contemporary Caribbean Continuing Aspects of British and French Dominion

Faith Culture and the Dual System A Comparative Study of Church and County Schools

Originally published in 1986 this book is based on research carried out in 102 County secondary and Church of England secondary and primary schools in London the North West Region and the West Midlands. It analyses data collected from interviews with 102 headteachers 67 religious education teachers and 139 parents whose children were attending Church schools. The book is divided into four main areas. First it examines pupil admission policies illustrating their effect both with the schools and on the neighbourhood. Second it outlines the policies and practices adopted by Church school governors in appointing teaching staff and discusses the implications of these policies. The third area deals with school worship assemblies and religious education and their place in the life of the school. The study highlights important issues and challenges facing schools especially where there is considerable religious diversity among pupils. It discusses some of the difficulties of implementing the law relating to the daily act of worship and why some schools observe the law while others disregard it. Key issues are explored which are central to the teaching of religious education: How RE teachers respond to religious diversity; why Christianity may or may not be given a central place in RE classes; what parents and RE teachers hope RE classes will achieve for pupils by the time they leave school. The fourth area focusses on multicultural education and illustrates the divergent views of headteachers on the aims purposes and relevance on multicultural education. | Faith Culture and the Dual System A Comparative Study of Church and County Schools

Consciousness Language and Self Psychoanalytic Linguistic and Anthropological Explorations of the Dual Nature of Mind

Consciousness Language and Self Psychoanalytic Linguistic and Anthropological Explorations of the Dual Nature of Mind

Consciousness Language and Self proposes that the human self is innately bilingual. Conscious mind includes two qualitatively distinct mental processes each of which uses the same formal elements of language differently. The mother tongue the language of primordial consciousness begins in utero and our second language reflective symbolic thought begins in infancy. Michael Robbins describes the respective roles the two conscious mental processes and their particular use of language play in the course of normal and pathological development as well as the role the language of primordial consciousness plays in adult life in such phenomena as dreaming infant-caregiver attachment creativity belief systems and their effects on social and political life cultural differences and psychosis. Examples include creative persons extreme political figures and psychotic individuals. Five original essays written by the author’s current and former patients describe what they learned about their aberrant uses of language and their origins. This book sheds new light on several controversies that have been limited by the incorrect assumption that reflective representational thought and its language is the only conscious mental state. These include the debate within linguistics about whether language is the expression of a hardwired instinct whose identifying feature is recursion; within psychoanalysis about the nature of conscious and unconscious mental processes and within cognitive philosophy about whether language and thought are isomorphic. Consciousness Language and Self will be of great value to psychoanalysts as well as students and scholars of linguistics cognitive philosophy and cultural anthropology. | Consciousness Language and Self Psychoanalytic Linguistic and Anthropological Explorations of the Dual Nature of Mind
