Paperback. Condición: New. With La nostalgia ferita [Wounded Nostalgia], Eugenio Borgna develops another term in his personal lexicon of emotion. Here he describes wounded nostalgia, with its constellation of keywords: memory, time, homesickness, childhood. But there is also nostalgia for death, for a face that, as Rilke wrote,…haunts us, sometimes impossible to find, as well as nostalgia for life when we are afflicted by illness. Nostalgia that is open to hope is different from nostalgia that remains frozen in the past. These are some of the words thematized in this book. There is nostalgia wounded by pain, and nostalgia spared from it. Naturally, Borgna refers to Leopardi and Proust, but also to Emily Dickinson and Guido Gozzano. Ultimately, nostalgia can be understood as a salvaging of the past, as its gift of meaning; and as an antithesis, too, to the dragon of indifference that leads to an emotional wasteland. With a preface by Michele Dantini.

Paperback. Condición: New. Phenomenology allows us to consider psychiatry not only as a natural science, but also a human one, where treating the wounded self takes places along a path of knowledge built on kindness and sensitivity, ethics and humanity, exploring areas that seem beyond the realm of psychiatry but actually share…a common emotional ground. Wounded emotions are a part of all kinds of psychic suffering, not only depression. But whether we like it or not, emotions follow us in every circumstance of our lives, in good times and bad, not only when we are unwell, even if we are not always aware of them. In La follia che è anche in noi [The Madness That is Also in Us], Eugenio Borgna brings together his reflections on the past, present, and future of psychiatry with moments from his own life that are "rhapsodic and winding, where experiences near and far in time have flowed together." With a preface by Stefano Redaelli.

Paperback. Condición: New. Hope allows us to look at reality with eyes not clouded or obscured by appearance or habit, convention or repetition; it allows us to open ourselves to the future, freeing us from the rigid cage of the past and present. In Speranza e disperazione [Hope and Despair], Eugenio Borgna follows the concept o…f hope through moments in literature, on the one hand, and his work in psychiatry on the other. Hope may be fragile, but it is the only way to pull human beings out of loneliness and the darkest depths of the soul. Consistently listening to patients, and in close conversation with the poetry of Cesare Pavese, among others, he paints a portrait of the slender figure of one of life's most revolutionary forces. With a preface by Ilaria de Seta.

Paperback. Condición: New. Rockwell Kent (1882-1971), artist, writer and adventurer, is one of the most celebrated American modernists, but he remains a controversial figure because of his political activism and personal life.This book emphasizes the interplay between Kent's public persona and his private self. A man of consider…able charm and vitality, he led an outwardly tempestuous existence - especially in affairs of the heart - but, at the same time, he created much of his best art in solitude. He was a romantic who fell violently in love and then decisively out of it. He loved many women, but he thought only of his own needs in his relationships with them; he thought the profession of artist gave him leeway to think only of his own needs. He strove, sometimes with great difficulty, to achieve material needs, but his art is replete with transcendental yearnings. By confronting the contradictions between the artist and the man, this book offers the first sustained study to connect those opposing sides of Kent's character. In doing so, it breaks new ground: rather than treating his work and his private life in isolation, it reveals how the tensions between the two shaped both-and in the process uncovers, with unprecedented clarity, the tortured soul of one of America's most important modernist artists.This is the first volume in Dissident Biographies, a new series.

Paperback. Condición: New. In the Gettysburg Address of 1863, Abraham Lincoln famously declared that 'government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth'. Since then the phrase has become the proverbial definition of American democracy. In this book, internationally renowned folklorist Wolfg…ang Mieder explains why and how this happened. Drawing on a lifetime of studying political rhetoric, Mieder shows how the phrase drew on earlier formulations, and how it was rapidly adopted around the English-speaking world, including by leaders such as Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Obama. The phrase echoes down the centuries, and continues to reverberate in the most recent political discourse and in the rhetoric of presidents in our own time. This historical survey of the democratic proverb is, above all, a passionate affirmation that 'of the people, by the people, for the people' has served the country well, in stating the fundamental premise of a democracy, and that it will continue to do so in turbulent times.

Paperback. Condición: New. Europe has to come to terms with its increasing cultural diversity. In current debate migration is typically presented merely as a social burden. This book envisions a future in which 'native' Europeans and those with a migrant background - together the New Europeans - come to the conclusion that they…should build a new society jointly.An inclusive European society can be generated by launching a common project as an alternative to neoliberalism, developing an economy that is at the service of society. For this, democratic ownership should be the lever. In that process, migrants will be important and resilient catalysts. The book sets out a roadmap for what the future could look like, presenting a vision of Europe at the end of the 21st century as a 'real Utopia'.This book bucks the trend of depressing accounts on migration from outside Europe. It offers a promissory narrative for the continent's long-term future. Drawing on political, sociological, economic and philosophical insights, the author sticks his neck out, provokes perhaps, but always with the invitation for a constructive dialogue.

Paperback. Condición: New. Since the end of the Second World War, the role of the United States in the international arena has been closely linked to the stability of its security alliance system. For strategic reasons, one of the major goals for the U.S. foreign policy has always been preventing the rise of a hegemonic power in… Eurasia. Actually, history and geopolitics tend to show that the global balance of power strictly depends on dynamics, threats and acting players in Eurasia. Despite China's growing global influence, it is in Asia-Pacific that the Chinese quest for power has played out more vividly. In this framework, the partnership between Russia and China represents a source of worries for the West as a whole and, more specifically, the gravest strategic threat to U.S. overseas interests.

Paperback. Condición: New. The sciences of literacy and place-based education have historically been on two separate tracks. In The Learning Landscape, Alvera McMillan persuasively brings them together. Working with "challenged readers," she demonstrates that place-based approaches to literacy are more engaging for students and…lead to increased academic success.-David Sobel, Professor Emeritus Antioch University, New EnglandMcMillan reminds educators and others how adolescent learning can reflect "meaning, value, and joy." This book is a celebration of the exceptional ways she intersected literacy, nature place-based learning, and community into an interdisciplinary pedagogy. Her framework is powerful. Like McMillan, every educator should consciously seek students' strengths while building their capacity as learners within a community context.-Margaret-Mary Sulentic Dowell, PhD Cecil "Pete" Taylor Endowed Professor, Louisiana State UniversityWhen students' lived experiences, local ecosystems, and community knowledge are integrated into the learning landscape, education becomes a force for resilience in rural communities. As public schools grapple with academic pressures alongside growing concerns about student well-being, rural communities face persistent economic and environmental challenges. This book examines a natureinfused, asset-based approach to adolescent literacy learning as a strategy for sustaining people, places, and communities during periods of disruption and uncertainty. Blending storytelling with an actionable instructional framework, it o ers educators, researchers, and community partners guidance for designing interdisciplinary, nature place-based learning experiences that position young people as active contributors to their communities.

Paperback. Condición: New. In this groundbreaking study, Misinformation Finds Them unearths how the perceived threat of misinformation effects on other people is just as potent -if not more so - than the actual impact that hybrid media systems have on democracy and community in the heartland. Here, it is not that rural Americans… are particularly vulnerable to misinformation; they are highly active media consumers, but they generally rely on news to "find me" rather than actively critically engaging with a diverse set of sources. This passive News Finds Me approach to media engagement, coupled with their belief that others are more susceptible to receiving and spreading misleading or false narratives, gives rise to distrust and polarization.The Misinformation Finds Them (MFT) perception is particularly potent as algorithms and AI are increasingly embedded in news distribution systems that seek to maximize user engagement with personalized content. The perceived threat of misinformation can exacerbate polarization, but the notion that misinformation radicalizes rural populations simply is not accurate, and rural Americans show no meaningful differences to their more urban counterparts in terms of knowledge and media use. "Vogts and Groshek offer fascinating insights into the polarized media ecosystem of rural America, an under-researched area that is meticulously addressed in this innovative book. It empirically provides an understanding of the way many rural Americans in Kansas distrustfully view media, and the impact of social networks on them, especially their beliefs in misinformation itself. The authors cleverly attempt to go beyond the standard discussion of misinformation, offering a more nuanced view with their origination of the "Misinformation Finds Them" concept. It is a must read for any citizen or scholar interested in better understanding the contemporary media environment of rural America." - Ahmed al-Rawi, Associate Professor Simon Fraser University "A timely, unflinching investigation into how misinformation quietly radicalizes rural America. Misinformation Finds Them doesn't just expose echo chambers. It humanizes them. Vogts and Groshek's essential read challenges stereotypes, connects hybrid media, bonding social capital, news finds me perception, and other media theories to real lives, and urges us to rethink how truth, identity, and democracy intersect in USA's heartland." - Homero Gil de Zúñiga, Distinguished Professor University of Salamanca and Pennsylvania State University.

Paperback. Condición: New. New. Throughout the history of human civilization, the definition of the animal and its relationship to humans have been contentious issues. This book investigates the notion of what constituted an animal in Early Medieval English culture as well as how the animal-human interaction is portrayed in the…Anglo-Saxon literary corpus. In this regard, the animal's portrayals in the Exeter Book Riddles and of monstrous creatures in the Wonders of the East provided a fertile field for research because these texts, rarely connected to allegorical readings and offering viewpoints that might be seen as complementary, deal with fundamental issues regarding what it meant to be human for Early Medieval English society.This study offers fresh insights into the characters and themes explored in the Exeter Book collection and in the Wonders of the East, looking for the spaces of Anglo-Saxon thought in which animality and humanity appear to meet. The author not only discovers the peculiar features in the definition of humanity with regard to animal and non-human figures, but is able to demonstrate that a strong anthropocentric vocation can coexist with an outlook that recognizes a close affinity among different species.

Paperback. Condición: New. This book investigates the miscommunication that occurs within diverse healthcare settings. It includes doctor-patient consultations, multi-disciplinary teams, and intercultural encounters; it also examines adverse patient events. It explores real life situations where communication failed either patie…nts, health professionals, or both. The author applies a specific social psychological perspective to offer one particular explanation as to why communication fails. The complex nature of health communication is demonstrated through an in-depth analysis of the health system and its associated hierarchical structure. Developed throughout the book is the belief that health communication is a 'wicked problem' with no one solution.

Paperback. Condición: New. Sigmund Freud's theories and clinical practices focused primarily on individuals. As such, they are rarely considered when critiquing collective behavior or symbolic re-presentations. However, as the founder of depth psychology - a field of study that considers how unconscious components of the human e…xperience influence psychological conditions - Freud understood the collective nature of thought and behavior. While his ideas are not typically a perspective applied to the study of media and popular culture, of audiences, or of content creation, once unpacked through a psychoanalytic lens, Freud's theories shine a bright light on human motivation and expression.This book is the first presentation of his ideas within this context. It is primarily an introduction to Freud and his theories intended for a communication studies audience. In addition to summarizing Freud's major concepts, how/when/if they are taught in psychology programs, and the resultant "Freud Wars," this book offers examples of application of his ideas to cinema, advertising, public relations, and other forms of expression and recommendations for future research.There are implications and applications to the everyday world as well for anyone interested in how theories of human development, beginning with childhood personality construction through adult sexuality, repression, and expression, can be understood through a contemporary lens."Of all of the contentious and oft-misconstrued figures in the history of ideas, few provide such a thorny and frustrating subject as Sigmund Freud. In this short-butsubstantial book, Deb Merskin gives us a considerate and approachable understanding of Freud's work. She begins with a biographical sketch of Freud, builds on this foundation to outline the full spectrum of Freud's theoretical interventions. With the basic rhythms and motifs established, Merskin then combines all of these elements to develop a symphonic sense of what Freud's ideas can contribute to communication and media studies, with emphases on social theory, film theory, advertising, political communication, media psychology, and cultural studies. Here is a true introduction to Freud's ideas as they relate to communication and media studies."-David W. Park, Lake Forest College.

Paperback. Condición: New. Sacred words often provide succor, summoned to comfort individual victims and entire communities ravaged by acts of violence. History also demonstrates, however, that religious discourse, like rhetoric itself, functions as a pharmakon-both a remedy and a poison. Religious discourse evoked to incite or…justify violence functions as a kind of rancor or intense partisan anger that distorts reality, exacerbates harm, and eschews the accountability of its perpetrators. Moreover, a third function of religious rhetoric synthesizes sacred succor and rancor to express the productive tension of righteous indignation employed by speakers to decry violence and demand social justice.This compendium of both historic and contemporary speeches on the intersecting themes of religion, rhetoric, and violence endeavors to complicate the rhetoric/violence binary by interpolating religion (another foundational and cultural belief inextricably entangled with both rhetoric and violence) into the dialectic.

Paperback. Condición: New. How is the work of social workers shaped in terms of individuals and the internal organization of the structure? And how does the relationship between knowledge and practical knowledge affect professional vision, performance and choices of action? This book helps to explore how the working practice of…social workers is expressed on that path where knowledge and practical knowledge, learnt in situations, becomes knowing how to work together, weaving together relationships among people, professions, objects, languages, technologies and institutions.The book therefore proposes new ways of combining these two aspects: how social workers construct their knowledge through everyday practices and what it means to empirically study the practical knowledge of social workers.

Paperback. Condición: New. The Haute Banque, an elite form of private or merchant banking, emerged in France in the early 19th century, reached its peak around 1850-1860 before declining in the early 20th century and almost disappearing in the 1960s-1980s. Often characterized by their religious origins and family networks, these… banking houses escape a clear definition. Their expansion is not limited to France, as banks with similar features can be found in Europe and throughout the world.This book, which brings together some of the best specialists in the field, examines the legacy of the Haute Banque. How and until when did it influence other banking establishments, through its managers, its practices, and its values? What business lines have these bankers helped to shape, right up to wealth management and asset management of today? What was the resilience of these finance companies? Is there a resurgence in the 21st century of the houses or the spirit of Haute Banque.

Hardback. Condición: New. The fifteenth and sixteenth centuries saw a significant rhetorical shift that has long influenced French literature. In this period, poets began to describe themselves as orators. Their verse was addressed to various audiences, both real or fictional. It was judged on its eloquence, public utility, and…ability to engage with contemporary concerns and events. This book endeavours to shed light on this unique moment of interplay between poetry and communication, through an interdisciplinary framework that draws on approaches from rhetoric, philology, and communication studies. Through eight case studies, this book explores a little-known history of French literature, from George Chastelain to Ronsard, including poets such as Guillaume Cretin, Jean Lemaire de Belges, Octovien de Saint-Gelais, Jean Molinet, Jean Bouchet, Nicaise Ladam and François Habert.

It sheds light on the legacies of these interventions in the form of unbroken cycles of war, conflict, poverty, underdevelopment and violation of human rights.

Hardback. Condición: New. This monograph examines Japan's "food problem"-the country's dependence on food imports-within the framework of the diplomatic relations with the U. S. from 1945 to the early 1970s. Japan is highly reliant on food imports, with the U. S. as its primary supplier. Existing literature has often framed this… dependence as a product of postwar power dynamics, portraying Japan as a passive participant in the "American wheat strategy," which prioritized U.S. agricultural surpluses over domestic production. This study seeks to move beyond this narrative, offering a more nuanced perspective. Through an analysis of primary sources as well as secondary literature, it argues that Japan's reliance on U.S. food imports was shaped not solely by external pressures but by negotiations, strategic considerations, and mutual interests. The goal is to highlight Japan's agency in shaping its agricultural and food policies rather than portraying it as a passive recipient of external decisions.

Hardback. Condición: New. In this timely book, the author explores new ways of reading Hemingway's work, considering nature, gender and American identity. Through forensic analysis of Hemingway's fiction, the author traces his early experiences of post-frontier America and the decline of the American primitive. He shows how, bas…ed on actual experience, Hemingway's unique brand of primitivism later influences his travels in both Spain and Africa. Each source of primal inspiration: the American Indian, the Spanish corrida and the African safari influences the other in a tripartite primitivism. By illuminating Hemingway's quest for primal authenticity, whereby the Other as "savage" is negated by his nuanced understanding of traditions, the author shows how Hemingway's depictions empower women, challenge white male superiority, and privilege nature. Hemingway's transatlantic and transcontinental quest for authentic primitivism is also a transnational and transcultural quest, an attempt to understand a more complex version of history.

Paperback. Condición: New. White supremacy and American-style individual autonomy are mutually supportive and co-dependent. Attacking white racism will not dislodge white supremacy, which the author contends is the greatest danger facing America. That can only be accomplished by making concurrent and significant modifications in… American individualism. Yet, white supremacist thinking, feeling, and acting and American individualism are protected by what the author describes as The White Supremacist Collective Unconscious, a culturally determined mental construct that Americans assimilate as they grow into adulthood, which endows all Americans, regardless of race, with a white supremacist mental orientation to one degree or another. Drawing on his personal experiences as an African American growing up in the United States, and on his research, the author details the development and workings of that unconscious, and the impact of white supremacy on the national character.In this provocative, personal, and engaging volume, so timely in its intervention, Ronald Richardson gives us a new way of looking at ourselves, how we came to be, and the inescapable role white supremacy has played in the unfolding.-Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard UniversityThis is a brave and candid book centered on the psychology and vexed history of race and the white ascendency in the United States. The gaze is unblinking, the analysis rigorous, and the conclusions judicious. Professor Richardson has composed a most impressive study, drawing on the provocative ideas of varied thinkers-among whom Fanon, Jung, Kierkegaard, Kakuzo Okakura-and his own experience, stretching from childhood to youth to distinguished scholar.-David Mayers is Professor, History Department, Political Science Department, Boston University.

Paperback. Condición: New. The book offers insight into different relevant issues related to recent developments in the political and media space in Europe. The authors are interested in how these phenomena affect the future of the democratic system and the general development of the European Union. The special focus is on popul…ism as one of the most discussed political phenomena in recent years. The assumption is that the rise of populism in Europe is a reaction to the anomalies and consequences of globalisation as well as a symptom of the crisis of established politics. Furthermore, the spread of populist messages is related to the profound change the media space is facing, particularly with the crisis of traditional media. Populists utilise different media channels that often serve to spread disinformation. Strengthening European democracy requires improving institutional effectiveness, responsiveness and accountability toward the citizenry, as well as building a European identity.

Paperback. Condición: New. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the dynamics and challenges of teaching Portuguese in China, particularly in Macao and Mainland China. This insightful study delves into the historical, socio-economic, and educational contexts that shape the learning experiences of native Chinese speaker…s. The book is structured in four chapters: the contextualization of the study, Chinese learner' profiles, Portuguese proficiency, and the dynamics of student mobility in the twenty-first century. In addition to a comparative analysis of data from Macao and Mainland China, the authors-through detailed surveys and examples of common errors-offer valuable recommendations for improving pedagogical practices and enhancing language proficiency. This comprehensive study is highly relevant, as it addresses the growing importance of Portuguese in China's educational landscape, driven by historical ties and increasing economic and cultural exchanges between China and Portuguese-speaking countries.
