Film Theory: The Basics - Kevin McDonald

Fully updated and expanded throughout, this second edition of Film Theory: The Basics provides an accessible introduction to the key theorists, concepts, and debates that have shaped the study of moving images. The book examines film theory from its emergence in the early twentieth century to its study in the present day, and explores why film has drawn special attention as a medium, as a form of representation, and as a focal point in the rise of modern visual culture. It also emphasizes how film theory has developed as a historically contingent discourse, one that has evolved and changed in conjunction with different social, political, and intellectual factors. This second edition offers a detailed account of new theoretical directions at the forefront of film studies in the twenty-first century, and draws additional attention to how theory engages with today’s most pressing questions about digital technologies, the environment, and racial justice. Complete with questions for discussion and a glossary of both key terms and key theorists, this book in an invaluable resource for those new to film theory and for anyone else interested in the history and significance of critical thinking in relation to the moving image.

Black Film Through a Psychodynamic Lens - Katherine Marshall Woods

Black Film Through a Psychodynamic Lens delves into the nuanced character development and narrative themes within the struggles and successes presented in Black films over the last five decades.In this pioneering book, Katherine Marshall Woods looks at Black cinema from a psychological and psychoanalytic perspective. Focusing on a decade at a time, she charts the development of representation and creative output from the 1980s to the present day. She deftly moves from analyzing depictions of poverty and triumphs to highlighting the importance of cinema in shaping cultural identity while considering racial prejudice and discrimination. Adopting theoretical viewpoints from Freud to bell hooks, Marshall Woods examines the damaging effect on cultural psychology as a result of stereotypical racial tropes, and expertly demonstrates the healing that can be found when one sees oneself represented in an honest light in popular art.From Do The Right Thing, The Color Purple and Malcolm X to contemporary classics like 12 Years a Slave, Black Panther and American Fiction, this book is an essential read for those interested in the intersection between Psychology, Psychoanalysis, Film Theory, and African American cultural identity.

A New Vision of Psychoanalytic Theory, Practice and Supervision - Doris Brothers, Jon Sletvold

By viewing psychoanalysis through the lens of embodiment, Brothers and Sletvold suggest a shift away from traditional concept-based theory and offer new ways to understand traumatic experiences, to describe the therapeutic exchange and to enhance the supervisory process. Since traditional psychoanalytic language does not readily lend itself to embodied experience, the authors place particular emphasis on the words I, you, we and world, to describe the flow of human attention. Offering new insights into trauma, this book demonstrates how traumatic experiences and efforts to regain certainty in oneÂ’s psychological life involve profound disruptions of this flow. With a new understanding of transference, resistance and interpretation, the authors ultimately show how much can be gained from viewing the analytic exchange as a meeting between foreign bodies. Grounded in detailed case material, this book will change the way therapists from all disciplines understand the therapeutic process and how viewing it in terms of talking bodies enhances their efforts to heal.

Poleaxed - Peter Tyrer

It is 1967. A mysterious disease appears in an English town. People fall down suddenly, poleaxed, and many die. Is it caused by a bacterium, a virus, a poison? Nobody knows, and top doctors squabble over its cause. But then two junior doctors and a young anthropology student, who has recovered from the disease, join together. The three investigators continue their work to find out the cause of the disease, a virus whose worst effects are only shown in those who are very anxious. They think they have found the cause and the solution. But will they be in time? This is a gripping dystopian tale, very much relevant to events unfolding today and written by Emeritus Professor of Community Psychiatry at Imperial College, London, Peter Tyrer whose long-standing interest in the connections between mental and physical health informed the novel.

A Psychoanalytic Engagement with the Arts - Giuseppina Antinucci

A Psychoanalytic Engagement with the Arts applies FreudÂ’s anthropological writing and theories to contemporary works of fiction and poetry.Giuseppina Antinucci offers close readings of the works of contemporary literary figures Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Amelia Rosselli and Jhuma Lahiri, from a psychoanalytic standpoint. Through these close readings, Antinucci uses the interweaving of the charactersÂ’ psychology with the demand of their social context to interrogate the factors that impact on their capacity and condition for survival. Throughout, she applies the Freudian concept of Kulturarbeit - the quota of psychic work pertaining to the symbolic order - and considers contemporary human experiences of migration and border-crossing, reparation, trauma and critical race theory from a psychoanalytic perspective. Adopting Winnicottian, Lacanian and Freudian methodologies, Antinucci adeptly illustrates the impact of psychoanalysis on art and vice versa, offering a novel way to approach contemporary issues of the psyche and human experience. Using a psychoanalytic engagement of contemporary fiction to address the complexity of human existence, this volume will be of interest to psychoanalysts, as well as researchers and students interested in the intersection between psychoanalysis and the creative arts.

The Impossible Return – Psychoanalytic Reflections on Breast Cancer, Loss, and Mourning - Anna Fishzon

The Impossible Return – Psychoanalytic Reflections on Breast Cancer, Loss, and Mourning is a work of creative non-fiction and auto-theory. It is part cancer memoir, part psychoanalytic theorizing, and part history of late-Soviet Ukraine.Anna Fishzon’s personal narrative is interspersed with interludes exploring other “reconstructions” (Chernobyl’s sarcophagus, the perestroika years) as well as psychoanalytic reflections on anxiety, prosthesis, hypochondria, and tattooing. The authorial voice is intentionally polyphonic: elegiac, humorous, at times academic and philosophical. Each chapter is set in the context of the writing process, with discussion of the Covid-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine. The prologue examines the psychoanalyst’s bodily presence in treatment and includes clinical vignettes illustrating the impact of remote therapy sessions during lockdown, and an epilogue provides a meditation on repetition compulsion and the impossibility of mourning fully.Through theoretical and personal reflections on mourning and recovery after catastrophic collapses of psyche, body, and place, the book makes original contributions to psychoanalysis, Slavic and cultural studies, trauma studies, film criticism, and history. This unique work will be relevant to readers interested in psychoanalytic studies, cancer and disability studies and critical theory, and academics of auto-theory and memoir.

Exploring Psychoanalytic Concepts through Culture, the Arts and Contemporary Life

This book explores how psychoanalytic ideas and thinking enhance our understanding and engagement with the creative arts and contemporary life.?Many of us love to read poetry and novels and enjoy the performing arts. All of us take part in contemporary life. But how might a psychoanalytic perspective deepen our understanding or enhance our experience in these areas? What might we discover when we explore the unconscious dimensions of particular cultural artefacts and activities. Based on the work of the longstanding Psychoanalytic Studies Course at the Tavistock Clinic, contributing authors draw on their experience of infant observation and psychoanalytic theory and apply them to explorations of culturally diverse and wide-ranging topics such as social work, literature, the act of littering, a Palestinian poem, and even a chart-topping Korean pop song.Blending a deep understanding of clinical work and a broad range of artistic endeavours, this book will be key reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and any interested in understanding how psychoanalysis can inform art and life.

Psychoanalytic Principles in Psychiatric Practice - Mark Kinet

In this approachable book, Mark Kinet offers a unique methodology for integrating psychoanalytic work in the psychiatric setting. Acknowledging the systemic rupture between psychoanalysis and psychiatric treatment, Kinet seeks to bridge the gap and offer a pathway for integrating the disciplines to provide integrative therapy for patients experiencing issues like personality problems, depression, anxiety and trauma. Integrating Freudian, Kleinian, Bionian, Winnicottian, Bowlbyan and Lacanian thought, Kinet provides an overview of psychoanalytic thinking and its benefits in a psychiatric setting. Kinet turns to philosophy, science, art and ethics to encourage a symbiotic relationship between the two disciplines. Written in Kinet''s trademark accessible and personable manner, Psychoanalytic Principles in Psychiatric Practice will inspire the training psychiatrist and psychotherapist, as well as the more experienced practitioner, to consider a more panoptic approach to working with patients.

Working With Fathers in Psychoanalytic Parent-Infant Psychotherapy

Working With Fathers in Psychoanalytic Parent-Infant Psychotherapy interfaces theoretical ideas about fatherhood and their incorporation into the clinical practice of psychoanalytic parent-infant psychotherapy. Often, when a family attends parent-infant psychotherapy, issues of the father are eclipsed by attention to the mother, who is usually the identified patient. Until now relatively neglected in the literature, this book attends to both the barriers to psychological work with the father, and to ways in which he can be engaged in a therapeutic process. In this book, Tessa Baradon brings together some of the most eminent clinicians and academics in the field of parent-infant psychotherapy, in a layered collection of theoretical and clinical contributions. She and her co-discussants, Björn Salomonsson and Kai von Klitzing, conclude with an integration and critique of the themes presented, exploring the ideas of their fellow contributors and expanding on the central themes of the work. Working With Fathers in Psychoanalytic Parent-Infant Psychotherapy will be of interest to mental health practitioners working with infants, who will learn that each individual and the family as a system can benefit from such an inclusive approach.

Goodman’s objective is to enable clinicians to transform these attachment relationships, restoring wholeness and unity – a crucial treatment goal of AIP.Using Psychoanalytic Techniques to Transform the Attachment Relationship to God will be a valuable resource for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, marriage and family therapists, and pastoral counsellors in practice and in training.

Foregrounding mid-range theories and mechanism-based explanations, he offers a pragmatic approach that has the capacity to shape the wider social sciences for years to come. The timing of this intervention is pitch-perfect, as scholars search for ways to understand and intervene in an increasingly distrustful and polarized world."—KATHARYNE MITCHELL, Distinguished Professor, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA "In Theory and Explanation in Geography Yeung presents us with a rare thing - an argument for geographical theory with forms of causal explanation at its heart. The book is both modest and ambitious. Modest in its insistence on mid-level theory without a call for some new “turn” or advocacy for any particular approach. Ambitious in its insistence that existing theoretical traditions are inadequate or incomplete insofar as they lack causal explanatory power.

A Psychoanalytic Approach to Smoking Cessation - Fung Ko

A Psychoanalytic Approach to Smoking Cessation: The Cigarette as a Transitional Object provides an accessible understanding to the unconscious motive behind smoking addiction using WinnicottÂ’s concept of the transitional object. The book is divided thematically into six parts. Ko begins by outlining the conscious motives for smoking from a psychological perspective and looks at commercial research conducted by the tobacco industry, before using psychoanalytically informed cross-disciplinary literature to assess the unconscious motives for smoking. She expertly introduces WinnicottÂ’s view on smoking addiction, using his concept of the transitional object, and highlights the power of the Free Association Narrative Interview method in accessing the unconscious and embedded emotional experiences. Using clinical examples, she illustrates the benefits of this method as a tool to elicit free associations from research respondents. She details the parallels between the individual respondentsÂ’ smoking experience, as well as their relationship with cigarettes and the seven qualities of transitional objects outlined by Winnicott in his 1953 landmark paper. Ko concludes by emphasising the significance and implications of this thesis to smokers and public health policy, as well as the smoking cessation approach and proposed directions for future research.This book is an essential resource for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists working ...

Literary Theory - Jonathan Culler

What is literary theory? Is there a relationship between literature and culture? In fact, what is literature, and does it matter? These are some of questions addressed by Jonathan Culler in this Very Short Introduction to literary theory. Often a controversial subject, said to have transformed the study of culture and society in the past two decades, literary theory is accused of undermining respect for tradition and truth and encouraging suspicion about the political and psychological implications of cultural projects rather than admiration for great literature. Here, Jonathan Culler explains ''theory'', not by describing warring ''schools'' but by sketching key ''moves'' theory has encouraged, and speaking directly about the implications of theory for thinking about literature, human identity, and the power of language. In this new edition Culler takes a look at new material, including the ''death of theory'', the links between the theory of narrative and cognitive science, trauma theory, ecocriticism, and includes a new chapter on ''Ethics and aesthetics''. This lucid introduction is useful for anyone who has wondered what all the fuss is about or who wants to think about literature today.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles ...

Quantum Field Theory, as Simply as Possible - Anthony Zee

An exceptionally accessible introduction to quantum field theoryQuantum field theory is by far the most spectacularly successful theory in physics, but also one of the most mystifying. This venerable subject provides the crucial bridge between the long established quantum mechanics and the still hypothetical string theory. Quantum Field Theory, as Simply as Possible provides an essential primer on the subject, giving readers the conceptual foundations they need to wrap their heads around one of the most important yet baffling subjects in physics.Quantum field theory grew out of quantum mechanics in the late 1930s and was developed by a generation of brilliant young theorists, including Julian Schwinger and Richard Feynman. Their predictions were experimentally verified to an astounding accuracy unmatched by the rest of physics. Quantum field theory unifies quantum mechanics and special relativity, thus providing the framework for understanding the quantum mysteries of the subatomic world. With his trademark blend of wit and physical insight, A. Zee guides readers from the classical notion of the field to the modern frontiers of quantum field theory, covering a host of topics along the way, including antimatter, Feynman diagrams, virtual particles, the path integral, quantum chromodynamics, electroweak unification, grand unification, and quantum gravity.A ...

Developing Grounded Theory - Kathy Charmaz, Juliet Corbin, Adele E. Clarke, Phyllis Noerager Stern, Janice M. Morse, Caroline Jane Porr, Barbara J. B

Developing Grounded Theory: The Second Generation Revisited is a highly accessible description of the rapid development of grounded theories and the latest developments in grounded theory methods.A succinct overview of the development of grounded theory is provided, including the similarities and differences between Glaserian and Straussian grounded theory. The method introduced by Schatzman, and the development of Charmaz’s constructivist grounded theory and Clarke’s situational analysis, are clearly presented. The book is divided into seven sections: each type of grounded theory is discussed by the developer (or their student), followed by a chapter describing a project that used that particular type of grounded theory. Bookending these chapters is the first chapter, which describes the development and landscape of grounded theory, and a final chapter describing the challenges to the future of grounded theory. This book is ideally suited for beginning students trying to come to grips with the field as well as more advanced researchers attempting to delineate the major types of grounded theory.

Theory Conspiracy

Theory Conspiracy provides a state-of-the-art collection that takes stage on the meeting and/or battlegrounds between conspiracy theory and theory-asconspiracy. By deliberately scrambling the syntax—conspiracy theory cum theory conspiracy—it seeks to open a set of reflections on the articulation between theory and conspiracy that addresses how conspiracy might rattle the sense of theory as such. In this sense, the volume also inevitably stumbles on the recent debates on postcritique. The suspicion that our ways of reading in the humanities have been far too suspicious, if not paranoid, has gained considerable attention in a humanities continuously questioned as superfluous at best and leftist and dangerous at worst. The chapters in this volume all approach this problematic from different angles. It features clear engaging writing by a set of contributors who have published extensively on questions of paranoia, conspiracy theory, and/or the state of theory today. This collection will appeal to readers interested in conspiracy theories, critical theory, and the future of humanities.

Homological Methods, Representation Theory, and Cluster Algebras

This text presents six mini-courses, all devoted to interactions between representation theory of algebras, homological algebra, and the new ever-expanding theory of cluster algebras. The interplay between the topics discussed in this text will continue to grow and this collection of courses stands as a partial testimony to this new development. The courses are useful for any mathematician who would like to learn more about this rapidly developing field; the primary aim is to engage graduate students and young researchers. Prerequisites include knowledge of some noncommutative algebra or homological algebra. Homological algebra has always been considered as one of the main tools in the study of finite-dimensional algebras. The strong relationship with cluster algebras is more recent and has quickly established itself as one of the important highlights of today’s mathematical landscape. This connection has been fruitful to both areas—representation theory provides a categorification of cluster algebras, while the study of cluster algebras provides representation theory with new objects of study.The six mini-courses comprising this text were delivered March 7–18, 2016 at a CIMPA (Centre International de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées) research school held at the Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Argentina.

Orna Ben-Ami, Displacement and Memory

An entirely new retrospective survey of the work of Israeli artist Orna Ben-Ami, including Ben-AmiÂ’s monumental public works in cut and welded iron, from the early 1990s to the present day.Ben-Ami first started to learn gold and silversmithing, at the Jerusalem Technological Centre, before studying sculpture at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC, between 1990 and 1992. From 1994 she became fully engaged in sculpture using iron as her principal raw material for her artistic expression. Throughout her work in iron, Ben-Ami expressed her feelings using welding, a primarily masculine art process, imbued with her own feminine instincts. She began expressing her personal memories, and later, she continued by expressing the preservation of memory, particularly the memories of transient and displaced peoples, be they refugees or migrants uprooting their lives in the search for a better and safer life in new lands.Ben-Ami has presented her works in 45 solo exhibitions around the world, including 23 exhibitions in museums across the United States. In 2017, her exhibition "Entire Life in a Package", was hosted at the United Nations in Geneva and New York to draw attention to the global refugee crisis, focusing on refugees.
