In Myers-Briggs Typology vs Jungian Individuation: Overcoming One-sidedness in Self and Society, Steve Myers unravels the century-long misinterpretation of Jung’s seminal text, Psychological Types, to show how Jung’s thinking offers solutions to the conflicts that have torn apart our societies. By challenging the popular interpretation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® and similar instruments, Myers argues that we have not only missed Jung’s main proposition, but our contemporary interpretation runs counter to it. Myers aims to rediscover the overlooked argument of Jung’s Psychological Types and make it of practical relevance to contemporary issues. He intends to refocus rather than discard Myers-Briggs typology, showing that there are further stages of development after becoming a type and that typological principles have a much broader application. Raising queries about the way typology is used in contemporary society, Myers uses literary examples, such as Romeo and Juliet and Carl Spitteler’s Prometheus and Epimetheus, to show how one-sidedness leads to conflict and to illustrate Jung’s solution to the problem of opposites. He also applies this to real-life political crises by examining the decision-making of key political figures, such as Nelson Mandela, Robert Mugabe, and those involved in Brexit or the Northern Ireland peace process.

A provocative theoretical synthesis by renowned folklorist and anthropologist Charles L. Briggs, Unlearning questions intellectual foundations and charts new paths forward. Briggs argues, through an expansive look back at his own influential works as well as critical readings of the field, that scholars can disrupt existing social and discourse theories across disciplines when they collaborate with theorists whose insights are not constrained by the bounds of scholarship.  Eschewing narrow Eurocentric modes of explanation and research foci, Briggs brings together colonialism, health, media, and psychoanalysis to rethink classic work on poetics and performance that revolutionized linguistic anthropology, folkloristics, media studies, communication, and other fields. Beginning with a candid memoir that credits the mentors whose disconcerting insights prompted him to upend existing scholarly approaches, Briggs combines his childhood experiences in New Mexico with his work in graduate school, his ethnography in Venezuela working with Indigenous peoples, and his contemporary work—which is heavily weighted in medical folklore.  Unlearning offers students, emerging scholars, and veteran researchers alike a guide for turning ethnographic objects into provocations for transforming time-worn theories and objects of analysis into sources of scholarly creativity, deep personal engagement, and efforts to confront unconscionable racial inequities.

In the words of Cornel West, Raymond Williams was "the last of the great European male revolutionary socialist intellectuals." A figure of international importance in the fields of cultural criticism and social theory, Williams was also preoccupied throughout his life with the meaning and significance of his Welsh identity. Who Speaks for Wales? was the first collection of Raymond WilliamsÂ’s writings on Welsh culture, literature, history, and politics. Published in 2003, it appeared in the early years of Welsh political devolution and offered a historical and theoretical basis for thinking across the divisions of nationalism and socialism in Welsh thought. This new edition, appearing in the centenary of WilliamsÂ’ birth, appears at a very different moment in which, after the Brexit referendum of 2016, Raymond WilliamsÂ’s "Welsh-European" vision seems to have been soundly rejected and is now a reminder of what might have been. This new edition includes new material and a new afterword. WilliamsÂ’s engagement with questions of nationhood and identity contained in this book spoke to readers from Berlin to New York, Sao Paulo to Tokyo. Daniel G.

Drawing on concepts originated by Carl Jung, this book distinguishes four categories of personality styles and shows how these qualities determine the way you perceive the world and come to conclusions about what you've seen. It then explains what they mean for your success in school, at a job, in a career and in your personal relationships.For more than 60 years, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) tool has been the most widely used instrument in the world for determining personality type, and for more than 25 years, Gifts Differing has been the preeminent source for understanding it.

Způsob vzniku novely Locus Solus, podobně jako Afrických dojmů a dalších svých děl, Raymond Roussel odhalil až posmrtně ve svém textu Jak jsem psal některé své knihy. Zrodil se z formálního omezení, kterým se autor řídil, kdy vzal dvě podobná slova, přidal k nim slova sice stejná, ale mající dva významy, a získal tak dvě téměř identické věty, na jejichž základě pak staví celý text. Význačný vědec a vynálezce Martial Canterel pozve skupinu svých kolegů a přátel k návštěvě svého venkovského sídla Locus Solus. Návštěvníkům předvádí stále bizarnější vynálezy korunované živým obrazem, ve skutečnosti představovaným mrtvými lidmi oživenými pomocí tekutiny resurrectinu, která po vstříknutí čerstvou mrtvolu nutí opakovat nejdůležitější událost jejího života. Raymond Roussel, za svého života nepochopený a znevažovaný, byť naprosto originální autor, jehož dílo obdrželo negativní reakce, se nakonec dočkal obdivu surrealistických skupin a dalších avantgardních autorů.

Věděli jste, že zakladatel islámu Mohammed provozoval sex s devítiletou dívkou? Že podle islámských posvátných textů bude matka Ježíše Krista Marie v islámském ráji manželkou Mohammeda? Samotné muslimské posvátné texty hovoří o tom, že Mohammed přijímal Alláhova koránská zjevení oblečen do ženských šatů. Těmto a mnoha podobným morálním a charakterovým vlastnostem zakladatele islámu se věnují egyptský koptský kněz Zakaria Botros a Raymond Ibrahim, analytik z David Horowitz Freedom Center, ve svých přednáškách. Zakaria Botros (*1934) byl roku 1950 vysvěcen v Káhiře na kněze. Egyptské úřady jej dvakrát uvěznily za kázání evangelia muslimům. Po svém nuceném odchodu z vlasti působil jako kněz v Austrálii a v Anglii. Jelikož patřil Botros mezi hlavní kritiky islámu v Egyptě, vyhlásila teroristická organizace Al-Káida za jeho vraždu odměnu 60 milionů amerických dolarů. Botros je znalý islámské historie, teologie a Koránu, díky čemuž mají jeho přednášky na přívržence islámu zkázonosný dopad. Raymond Ibrahim (*1973) se narodil v USA rodině egyptských přistěhovalců z řad koptské menšiny. Promoval na California State University Fresno (titul M. A.) přičemž se ve své diplomové práci zabýval tématem vojenských střetnutí islámu a Byzance na počátku vzniku islámu. Ibrahim pracoval jako odborný asistent pro oddělení Blízkého východu Knihovny Kongresu USA a působil na ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Discover the visual dynamism of Raymond Saunders''s paintings and his multifaceted legacy as an artist and thinker in this seminal monograph.Saunders’s work brings together the artist''s extensive formal training with his own observations and lived experience. His assemblage-style paintings frequently begin with a monochromatic black ground elaborated with white chalk—a pointed reversal of the traditional figure-ground relationship. He subsequently adds a range of other markings, materials, and talismans. At once deliberately constructed and improvisatory, didactic and deeply felt, these richly built surfaces conjure a range of themes, allowing for a vast and nuanced multiplicity of meanings. A record of a two-part exhibition presented at David Zwirner and Andrew Kreps gallery in 2024, this catalogue considers Saunders’s ability to infuse his work with social relevance and commentary. Featured texts include an introduction by curator Ebony L. Haynes; a conversation between Haynes and Studio Museum of Harlem director Thelma Golden about her multidecade engagement with Saunders’s artwork and writing; and a facsimile reproduction of Saunders''s seminal self-published pamphlet from 1967 Black Is a Color, along with new annotated commentary by art historian Darby English. An essay by Jarrett Earnest provides an in-depth formal interpretation of two of Saunders’s chalkboard works. Also included ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Raymond Carver, who became a master-storyteller of his generation and was hailed in Europe as ''the American Chekhov'', wrote of himself: "I began as a poet. My first publication was a poem. So I suppose on my tombstone I''d be very pleased if they put ''Poet and short-story writer - and occasional essayist'', in that order." This complete edition allows readers to experience the range and overwhelming power of Carver''s poetry for the first time. It brings together in the order of their American publication the poems of Fires (1985), Where Water Comes Together with Other Water (1986), Ultramarine (1988), A New Path to the Waterfall (1989) and No Heroics, Please (1991). For readers who know Carver''s middle period only through his selected poems, In a Marine Light (1988), it includes the windfall of 51 poems not previously published in Britain. All of Us is edited by Professor William L. Stull of the University of Hartford, and introduced with an essay on Raymond Carver''s methods of composition by his widow, the poet Tess Gallagher.

When a middle-aged alcoholic is found brutally battered to death on a roadside in West London, the case is assigned to a nameless detective sergeant, a tough-talking cynic and fearless loner from the Department of Unexplained Deaths at the Factory police station. Working from cassette tapes left behind in the dead man''s property, our narrator must piece together the history of his blighted existence and discover the agents of its cruel end. What he doesn''t expect is that digging for the truth will demand plenty of lying, and that the most terrible of villains will also prove to be the most attractive. In the first of six police procedurals that comprise the Factory series, Derek Raymond spins a riveting, and vividly human crime drama. Relentlessly pursuing justice for the dispossessed, his detective narrator treads where few others dare: in the darkest corners of London, a city of sin plagued by unemployment, racism and vice, and peopled by a cast of low-lifes, all utterly convincing and brought to life by Raymond''s pitch-perfect dialogue.

In his seminal book Life After Life, Dr Raymond Moody introduced the near-death experience (NDE) to the world, sharing the true stories of those who have returned from the brink of death. In this stunning sequel, Dr Moody returns to the area in which he made his name and provides compelling new evidence that NDEs are not the mere biological products of brains in the process of shutting down. Here, he shares the eyewitness accounts of those who have shared the experiences of the dying: the ''empathic death experiences'' that occur when those gathered at the bedsides of the dying have their own visions of the afterlife. Brimming with case studies and drawing upon a lifetime''s research as well as recent findings, this important book will change the way we think about life and death. As the baby-boomer generation begins to lose those they love, and international scientific research continues in this area, Dr Raymond Moody''s book could not be more timely.

This, the third novel in the Factory Series, sees Raymond''s nameless detective leave London for a remote village called Thornhill, where he''s meant to be looking into the disappearance of a local doctor''s wife. How The Dead Live is a haunting, fantastical novel, with a hellish country house at its centre; a mystery with little interest in the mystery, a police procedural with almost no procedure. Instead, and as ever with Raymond, it''s a brilliantly unsettling investigation into love and damnation. This is life seen from the very bottom of the bottle - a fitting succesor to classic noir writers such as Jim Thompson and David Goodis.

An invaluable reflection on the essence of liberal democracy—and an ideal introduction to the work of political philosopher Raymond AronLiberty and Equality is the first English translation of the last lecture delivered at the Collège de France by Raymond Aron, one of the most influential political and social thinkers of the twentieth century. In this important work, the most prominent French liberal intellectual of the Cold War era presents his views on the core values of liberal democracy: liberty and equality. At the same time, he provides an ideal introduction to key aspects of his thought.Ranging from Soviet ideology to Watergate, Aron reflects on root concepts of democracy and representative government, articulates a notion of liberty or freedom as equal right as distinct from equal outcome, and discusses different kinds of liberties: personal, political, religious, and social. In search of a common truth or at least a common good, and analyzing what he perceives as the crisis of liberal democracies, Aron opens a space for reexamining the relation between liberty and equality.
