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

The Americanization Syndrome A Quest for Conformity

The Americanization Syndrome A Quest for Conformity

The Americanization Syndrome (1987) examines the historical role of education in the process of ‘Americanization’. It argues that beginning with seventeenth century puritan leaders such as John Winthrop and Cotton Maher the pattern of American education has been not the promotion of a blend of different cultures but the indoctrination of norms of belief of religion politics and economics and an explicit discouragement of cultural variety. It traces the political role of education at key junctures of American history – after Independence in the reconstruction of the South after the Civil War in the establishment of settlement houses and the use of scientific management techniques by employers. The author focuses on the period 1900–1925 when new waves of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe led to a new drive for orthodoxy. | The Americanization Syndrome A Quest for Conformity

Mirror for Man The Relation of Anthropology to Modern Life

Mirror for Man The Relation of Anthropology to Modern Life

While the world has undoubtedly been shrinking at the same time it has grown more complex. The likelihood of culture clashes leading to outright conflict is high perhaps higher than ever. As Andrea L. Smith convincingly argues in her new introduction to this classic work certain questions are as valid today as in 1949 when Mirror for Man was first published. Can anthropology break down prejudices that exist between peoples and nations? Can knowledge of past human behavior help solve the world’s modern problems? What effect will American attitudes likely have on the future of the world? In Mirror for Man Clyde Kluckhohn scrutinizes anthropology showing how the discipline can contribute to the reconciliation of conflicting cultures. He questions age-old race theories shows how people came to be as they are and examines limitations in how human beings can be molded. Taking up one of the most vital questions in the post-World War II world whether international order can be achieved by domination Kluckhohn demonstrates that cultural clashes drive much of the world’s conflict and shows how we can help resolve it if only we are willing to work for joint understanding. By interpreting human behavior Kluckhohn reveals that anthropology can make a practical contribution through its predictive power in the realm of politics social attitudes and group psychology. Andrea L. Smith’s new introduction provides convincing evidence for the continuing importance of one of the earliest “public intellectuals. ” | Mirror for Man The Relation of Anthropology to Modern Life
