The Places of Van Morrison’s Songwriting Venturing in the Slipstream

The Places of Van Morrison’s Songwriting Venturing in the Slipstream

What can we learn about Van Morrison’s life and work as a songwriter through his songs? This book looks closely at the lyrics and music from a selection of his songs. Some are very well-known - ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ ‘Cleaning Windows’ and ‘The Healing Game’. Others are less familiar. Through these songs the book offers insights into some of the most important ideas that the songwriter has explored across his five-decade plus career starting from the Them period and extending through his solo albums. These readings show how thinking about Morrison’s use of place provides a specific lens that contributes to a greater understanding of his art. The songs are organized into chapters that reflect many of the important places in Morrison’s work as he ventured professionally and imaginatively away from the places of his upbringing towards a wider musical world. These places are in city streetscapes and country landscapes – in home places of streets and ditches in the enclosed spaces of rooms in the expansive reaches of the natural world in indeterminate and specific foreign lands. A picture emerges of the journey that Van Morrison details through his songs one that sees him first wandering as a boy through his East Belfast haunts and then venturing out to a wider world away from this local place. | The Places of Van Morrison’s Songwriting Venturing in the Slipstream

Picturing Courtiers and Nobles from Castiglione to Van Dyck Self Representation by Early Modern Elites

Picturing Courtiers and Nobles from Castiglione to Van Dyck Self Representation by Early Modern Elites

This interdisciplinary study examines painted portraiture as a defining metaphor of elite self-representation in early modern culture. Beginning with Castiglione’s Book of the Courtier (1528) the most influential early modern account of the formation of elite identity the argument traces a path across the ensuing century towards the images of courtiers and nobles by the most persuasive of European portrait painters Van Dyck especially those produced in London during the 1630s. It investigates two related kinds of texts: those which following Castiglione model the conduct of the ideal courtier or elite social conduct more generally; and those belonging to the established tradition of debates about the condition of nobility –how far it is genetically inherited and how far a function of excelling moral and social behaviour. Van Dyck is seen as contributing to these discussions through the language of pictorial art. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history cultural history early modern history and Renaissance studies. | Picturing Courtiers and Nobles from Castiglione to Van Dyck Self Representation by Early Modern Elites

Vluchtelingen en immigratie

Vluchtelingen en immigratie

Michael Dummett eminent filosoof en scherpzinnig maatschappijcriticus pleit al vele jaren voor een eerlijke behandeling van immigranten en vluchtelingen in Europa. In dit inzichtelijke boek heeft hij voor de eerste keer al zijn gedachten over deze belangrijke kwestie gebundeld. Na een eerste verkenning van de verwarde en vaak zeer onrechtvaardige opvattingen over immigratie onderwerpt Dummett de principes en rechtvaardigingen van het desbetreffende overheidsbeleid aan een nauwkeurig onderzoek waarbij hij erop wijst dat dit beleid vaak in strijd is met de rechten van vluchtelingen zoals die in het Verdrag van Gen zijn neergelegd. Aan de hand van confronterende en vaak aangrijpende voorbeelden wijst Vluchtelingen en immigratie de weg naar een nieuwe meer menswaardige benadering van een probleem dat wij niet mogen negeren.

Coleridge and Cosmopolitan Intellectualism 1794-1804 The Legacy of Göttingen University

Coleridge and Cosmopolitan Intellectualism 1794-1804 The Legacy of Göttingen University

Viewing Samuel Taylor Coleridge's pursuit of continental intellectualism through the lens of cosmopolitanism Maximiliaan van Woudenberg examines the so-called 'German Mania' of the writer in the context of the intellectual history of the university. At a time when the confessional model of Oxbridge precluded a liberal education in England van Woudenberg argues Coleridge's pursuit of continental methodologies and networks encountered at the University of Göttingen anticipated the foundation of the modern von Humboldt research-university model. Founded by the Hanoverian rulers of Great Britain this cosmopolitan institution of knowledge successfully fostered cross-cultural interchange between German and British intellectuals during the latter half of the eighteenth century. van Woudenberg links the origins of Coleridge's engagement with European intellectualism to his first encounter with the innovations of a Reform university during his studies at the University of Göttingen in 1799 a period that many critics and biographers believe spoiled his poetry. Drawing on hitherto unexamined primary records and documents in German Kurrentschrift this study shows Coleridge to be a visionary whose cross-cultural dissemination of continental intellectualism in England was ahead of its time and presents an intriguing episode in Cosmopolitan Romanticism by a major canonical figure. | Coleridge and Cosmopolitan Intellectualism 1794-1804 The Legacy of Göttingen University

Shamanic Dimensions of Psychotherapy Healing through the Symbolic Process

Shamanic Dimensions of Psychotherapy Healing through the Symbolic Process

In Shamanic Dimensions of Psychotherapy: Healing through the Symbolic Process Robin van Löben Sels uniquely and honestly recounts her personal journey toward a shamanic understanding of psychotherapy. Exploring the disruptive breakthrough of visions and dreams that occurred during her analysis personal life and psychoanalytic training van Löben Sels illustrates how the phenomenology of ancient shamanism is still alive and how it is a paradigm for the emergence and maturation of the psyche in people today. This original book delves into van Löben Sels’s personal experience of the shaman identifying such eruptions as a contemporary version of the archaic shaman’s initiatory call to vocation. The book is split into two parts. It begins by outlining the shamanic personality in history recognizing this as an individual that has been called out of a collectively sanctioned identity into a creative life and the unconscious shaman complex they consequently face especially in psychotherapeutic relationships. Practical as well as theoretical the second part outlines the shamanic attributes that underline psychotherapeutic relationships - silence sound mask rhythm gesture movement and respiration - and usefully describes how to use them as asanas for consciousness or vehicles toward psychological awareness. With clinical examples and personal stories throughout this book’s unique Jungian perspective addresses contemporary expressions of the shaman complex in our current world. Shamanic Dimensions of Psychotherapy: Healing through the Symbolic Process will be essential reading for Jungian analysts and psychotherapists in practice and in training as well as for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies. It will be especially helpful and illuminating to those who have experienced an involuntary plunge into the depths and who seek ways to articulate their experience. | Shamanic Dimensions of Psychotherapy Healing through the Symbolic Process

Envisioning Gender in Burgundian Devotional Art 1350–1530 Experience Authority Resistance

Envisioning Gender in Burgundian Devotional Art 1350–1530 Experience Authority Resistance

Illuminated here are the relationships between visual culture faith and gender in the courtly monastic and urban spheres of the early modern Burgundian Netherlands. By examining works by artists such as the Master of Mary of Burgundy Jan van Eyck Hans Memling and Bernard van Orley author Andrea Pearson identifies and explores pictorial constructions of masculinity and femininity in regard to the expectations experiences and practices of devotion. Specifically she demonstrates that two of the most prominent visual genres of the period books of hours and devotional portrait diptychs were manipulated by patrons and spectators of both sexes to challenge and negotiate the boundaries and hierarchies of gender and that marginalized individuals and groups appropriated the types to resist the authority of others and advance their own. Ultimately the books and diptychs emerge as critical and often contentious sites for deliberating and transacting gender. By integrating books of hours and devotional portrait diptychs into current interdisciplinary theoretical discourse on gender power and devotion the author engages scholars in a range of disciplines: art history history religion and literature as well as women's and men's studies. | Envisioning Gender in Burgundian Devotional Art 1350–1530 Experience Authority Resistance

Social Movement Discourse An Introduction

Social Movement Discourse An Introduction

This is both the first systematic introduction to Discourse Studies for students and scholars of social movements and a study of discourses on the European “refugee crisis” by leading theorist Teun A. van Dijk. Concrete examples of different kinds of discourse are vital for the study of social movements because their activities are not limited to such well-known forms of contention as marches occupations or strikes but also daily discursive activities such as meetings assemblies interviews press conferences manifestos pamphlets banners graffiti websites blogs social media posts and everyday talk. This book proposes that empirical analyses of these discourses should go beyond the popular but vague notion of “frame”and engage in more detailed and explicit analyses of the text and talk of social movements. This is a much-needed introduction to the most important structures of discourse and a detailed theoretical account of the notion of “solidarity” defining the Refugees Welcome movement. | Social Movement Discourse An Introduction
