Book Persian Blues  Psychoanalysis and Mourning

Download or read book Persian Blues Psychoanalysis and Mourning written by Gohar Homayounpour and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-18 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Persian Blues, Psychoanalysis and Mourning, Gohar Homayounpour plays a theme and variations on loss, love, and family against the backdrop of Iran’s chaotic recent past. Homayounpour is simultaneously Shahrzad, the fearless storyteller, and Shahrzad’s analyst: subjecting fairy tales to fierce new insights, while weaving an indigo thread through her own devastation on the death of her father and the wonders and horrors of motherhood. A blue thread, or melody, runs though the separations and emigrations of her family and patients driven or broken apart by war, and likewise through the fraught world inhabited by Persian women. This book breaks new psychoanalytic ground, offering a radical rejection of traditional clichés about Iran, and Iranian women, but its unsparing elegance transcends any political agenda, bridging the ocean of a shared and tragic humanity. Persian Blues, Psychoanalysis and Mourning will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytically informed readers, as well as those interested in grief, Iran, and women’s experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring 100 photographs of Frank Sinatra working with orchestras and arrangers, listening to playbacks, and, of course, singing, this book tells the whole story of how he created the Sinatra sound and translated the most intense personal emotions into richly worked-out songs of unrivalled expressiveness. One of the thrills of listening to Sinatra is wondering how he did it—and this book explains it all, bringing the dedicated fan and the casual music lover alike into the recording studio to witness the fascinating working methods he introduced and mastered in his quest for recorded perfection. Revealed is how, in addition to introducing and perfecting a unique vocal style, Sinatra was also his own in-studio producer—personally supervising every aspect of his recordings, from choosing the songs and arrangers to making minute adjustments in microphone placement.

Book Fur

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jonathan Faiers
  • Publisher : Yale University Press
  • Release : 2020
  • ISBN : 0300227205
  • Pages : 242 pages

Download or read book Fur written by Jonathan Faiers and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking, informative, and thought-provoking exploration of fur's fashionable and controversial history The first and only book of its kind, Fur: A Sensitive History looks at the impact of fur on society, politics, and, of course, fashion. This material has a long, complex, and rich history, culminating in recent and ongoing anti-fur debates. Jonathan Faiers discusses how fur--long praised for its warmth, softness, and connotation of status--became so controversial, at the center of campaigns against animal cruelty and the movement toward ethical fashion. At the same time, fake fur now faces a backlash of its own, given the environmental impact of its manufacture and its links to fast fashion. Divided into five sections--dedicated to hair, pelt, coat, skin, and fleece--the book surveys not only the politics of fur but also its centrality to western fashion, the tactile pleasure it gives, and its use in literature, art, and film. This thoughtfully reasoned, eloquently written, and spectacularly illustrated examination of fur is both timely and essential, filling a gap in fashion scholarship and appealing to a broad audience.

Book The Morning After  The Impact on Collateral Supply After a Major Default

Download or read book The Morning After The Impact on Collateral Supply After a Major Default written by Dermot Turing and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes to the regulatory system introduced after the financial crisis include not only mandatory clearing of OTC derivatives at central counterparties and margining of uncleared derivatives, but also prudential measures, including notably a “Liquidity Coverage Ratio” which obliges firms to set aside high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) as a stopgap against anticipated cash outflows. We examine factors which may affect the demand for HQLA in a severely stressed market following a hypothetical default of a major clearing member. Immediately following a major default, the amount of HQLA demanded by the whole market would spike. We estimate the size of the spike and draw conclusions as to whether the depth of the market is adequate to absorb it.

Book The Handbook of Global Shadow Banking  Volume I

Download or read book The Handbook of Global Shadow Banking Volume I written by Luc Nijs and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 822 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This global handbook provides an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of shadow banking, or market-based finance as it has been recently coined. Engaging in financial intermediary services outside of normal regulatory parameters, the shadow banking sector was arguably a critical factor in causing the 2007-2009 financial crisis. This volume focuses specifically on shadow banking activities, risk, policy and regulatory issues. It evaluates the nexus between policy design and regulatory output around the world, paying attention to the concept of risk in all its dimensions—the legal, financial, market, economic and monetary perspectives. Particular attention is given to spillover risk, contagion risk and systemic risk and their positioning and relevance in shadow banking activities. Newly introduced and incoming policies are evaluated in detail, as well as how risk is managed, observed and assessed, and how new regulation can potentially create new sources of risk. Volume I concludes with analysis of what will and still needs to happen in the event of another crisis. Proposing innovative suggestions for improvement, including a novel Pigovian tax to tame financial and systemic risks, this handbook is a must-read for professionals and policy-makers within the banking sector, as well as those researching economics and finance.

Book The Ways We Love

  • Author : Sheila A. Sharpe
  • Publisher : Guilford Press
  • Release : 2004-01-28
  • ISBN : 9781593850197
  • Pages : 372 pages

Download or read book The Ways We Love written by Sheila A. Sharpe and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2004-01-28 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume delineates a developmental theory of love relationships that provides a comprehensive approach to treating couples. Drawing on her 30 years of clinical experience, Sheila A. Sharpe conceptualizes marriage and other committed partnerships as comprising multiple patterns of relating that develop over time in a parallel, though interconnected, fashion. Seven universal patterns of intimate relating are identified: nurturing, merging, idealizing, devaluing, controlling, competing for superiority, and competing in love triangles. Sharpe demonstrates how these patterns originate in a person's early experience, are reworked in different ways throughout life, and express everyone's basic needs for both connection and separateness. Supplying vital insights and tools for therapeutic work, the volume offers the clinician a multifaceted perspective on how couple relationships grow and what happens when their growth becomes derailed.

This collection of critical essays examines various facets of Riegl's work and opens with a new translation of Hans Sedlmayr's famous, and notorious,Die Quintessenze der Lehren Riegls. Included is Julius von Schlosser's assessment of Riegl's contribution to the Vienna School of Art Historians as well as essays by a team of international scholars.

Book Moveable Designs  Liminal Aesthetics  and Cultural Production in America since 1772

Download or read book Moveable Designs Liminal Aesthetics and Cultural Production in America since 1772 written by Stefan L. Brandt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the liminal aesthetics of U.S. cultural and literary practice. Interrogating the notion of a presumptive unity of the American experience, Moveable Designs argues that inner conflict, divisiveness, and contradiction are integral to the nation’s cultural designs, themes, and motifs. The study suggests that U.S. literary and cultural practice is permeated by ‘moveable designs’—flexible, yet constant features of hegemonial practice that constitute an integral element of American national self-fashioning. The naturally pervasive liminality of U.S. cultural production is the key to understanding the resilience of American culture. Moveable Designs looks at artistic expressions across various media types (literature, paintings, film, television), seeking to illuminate critical phases of U.S. American literature and culture—from the revolutionary years to the movements of romanticism, realism, and modernism, up to the postmodern era. It combines a wide array of approaches, from cultural history and social anthropology to phenomenology. Connecting an analysis of literary and cultural texts with approaches from design theory, the book proposes a new way of understanding American culture as design. It is one of the unique characteristics of American culture that it creates—or, rather, designs—potency out of its inner conflicts and apparent disunities. That which we describe as an identifiable ‘American identity’ is actually the product of highly vulnerable, alternating processes of dissolution and self-affirmation.

Book Let The Music Play  New Notes For Trivia

Download or read book Let The Music Play New Notes For Trivia written by Rudolph Schilli and published by BookLocker.com. This book was released on 2022-04-10 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes a new and exciting variant of trivia games. Rather than just having a mundane question and answer session, this book will introduce you to multi-dimensional "techno-trivia". This technique uses your smart phone, music and blue tooth technology to give musical clues that may help the audience to achieve the correct trivia answer in a more exciting way. This approach can help both the novice and more experienced, and often brilliant, trivia aficionado. Using this system, the question is asked and while everyone contemplates the answer, a song is played. The song's title, the song's artist and even the song's lyrics can be clues leading to the answer. If you don't immediately know the answer, this analysis of the song can help. This produces a multichannel approach that is more complex and entertaining than the commonplace and more ordinary contest. This "techno-trivia" can be played by large groups, small groups, and even individuals. It is a more perfect game that can be played anytime, for example: during a beach trip paralyzed by rain, dinner parties with your friends, or during any future 'lock-down' of society!
