Book excerpt: A shattering drama about the holocaust by the author of Marat/Sade. The stark stage contains nothing more than rows of wooden chairs and small tables for the judge, defense attorney and prosecuting attorney. The top rows are filled by those accused in the Frankfurt trial of the atrocities of Auschwitz. The house lights are kept on which, together with seating the attorneys and the judge in the audience, contributes to the sense of spectator participation. This play is based on the actual testimony and its impact is devastating! Bare stage w/props.

Download or read book Frantz Fanon Psychiatry and Politics written by Nigel C. Gibson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revolutionary and psychiatrist Frantz Fanon was a foundational figure in postcolonial and decolonial thought and practice, yet his psychiatric work still has only been studied peripherally. That is in part because most of his psychiatric writings have remained untranslated. With a focus on Fanon’s key psychiatry texts, Frantz Fanon: Psychiatry and Politics considers Fanon’s psychiatic writings as materials anticipating as well as accompanying Fanon’s better known work, written between 1952 and 1961 (Black Skin, White Masks, A Dying Colonialism, Toward the African Revolution, The Wretched of the Earth). Both clinical and political, they draw on another notion of psychiatry that intersects history, ethnology, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. The authors argue that Fanon’s work inaugurates a critical ethnopsychiatry based on a new concept of culture (anchored to historical events, particular situations, and lived experience) and on the relationship between the psychological and the cultural. Thus, Gibson and Beneduce contend that Fanon’s psychiatric writings also express Fanon’s wish, as he puts it in The Wretched of the Earth, to “develop a new way of thinking, not only for us but for humanity.”

Download or read book The History of the Jews of Richmond from 1769 to 1917 written by Herbert Tobias Ezekiel and published by . This book was released on 1917 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Jewish community of 1769 to that of 1917 is a far cry--the one resident of colonial times to the lawyers, doctors, bankers, artists, merchant princes and artisans of today. Success to a phenomenal degree has been theirs. What they accomplished has been by virtue of their own brain and good right arm. To penal and eleemosynary institutions they were practically strangers. They have, it is true, figured in the criminal courts--as the brightest of lawyers ; their escutcheons are often crossed with the bar sinister of a rope--it is not pendant from a tree, but a peddler's pack. Of all the successful Jews In Richmond today there is not one of whom it can be truthfully said that he owes aught of it to "pull." Theirs has been the conquest of "push." The remarkable part is all this has been achieved by stress of energy alone. They came to this country with only their good names, their indomitable wills, with the single purpose of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," and the right to practice their ancient faith as their consciences dictated. -- Pg. [11]

Originally published: Washington, D.C.: Middle East Institute, 1955. xviii, 395 pp. A committee from The Middle East Institute, led by George Camp Keiser, Chairman of the Board of Governors, enlisted outstanding authorities on Middle East law to contribute chapters on specific topics. Includes an extensive glossary of Islamic legal terms. Reprint of Volume 1 [all published]. "The American profession should welcome this exhaustive and authentic work edited by two scholars who are authorities on the law of Islam and also students of the law of the United States. These editors have enlisted leading authorities on special subjects and have presented the whole in a manner that should appeal to American interest and understanding. Dr. Khadduri and Dr. Liebesny are entitled to our thanks and to our congratulations. It is to be hoped that Law in the Middle East will be widely read and pondered by the American legal profession and all who believe understanding begets good will." Robert H.

Download or read book Decolonizing Madness written by Frantz Fanon and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Martiniquian-born theorist, revolutionary, and psychiatrist Frantz Fanon was a foundational figure in postcolonial thought and practice, and along with Foucault and Lacan, he remains an indispensable thinker on the complex interrelationships of identity, politics, and psychoanalysis. His biographers have always noted that his medical career was not a profession he chose by chance but one that reflected his humanist convictions, yet his psychiatric work has only received sustained attention in recent years - and then only from scholars fluent in French. Now available for the first time in English, the pieces collected here demonstrate in concrete ways how Fanon's conception of a radical psychiatry based in human liberation and self-activity was directly related to his philosophy and politics. They offer specific content for ongoing debates over psychiatry and politics in contemporary society, and together form an essential text for anyone working in postcolonial studies, Fanon studies, history, psychiatry, and politics.

Download or read book Institutions juridictionnelles written by Serge Guinchard and published by Dalloz-Sirey. This book was released on 2013 with total page 1098 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Né de la collaboration de spécialistes des procédures civile, pénale et de droit public, ce Précis correspond fidèlement au programme du cours d'institutions juridictionnelles généralement enseigné en 1re année des facultés de droit. Il permet d'acquérir une vue raisonnée et synthétique de la justice en France et de ses institutions. Après l'analyse critique et prospective des principes qui sous-tendent l'organisation et le fonctionnement de la justice, l'ouvrage décrit, en les replaçant dans leur évolution, les principales juridictions et professions qui leur sont associées. Au plus près de l'actualité législative et des projets en cours de discussion au Parlement (exercice de l'action publique et Conseil supérieur de la magistrature), l'ouvrage consacre une large place au renouvellement qu'a connu la matière sous l'influence de la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme et du Conseil constitutionnel ; à cet égard, la question prioritaire de constitutionnalité fait l'objet de développements substantiels. Les propositions des commissions Guinchard sur la réorganisation des contentieux, Varinard sur la justice des mineurs et Darrois sur la création d'une grande profession du droit ont été systématiquement intégrées, ainsi que les traductions législatives et réglementaires qui les ont consacrées, notamment les nouvelles règles de répartition des compétences au sein de la justice civile, la création d'un nouveau mode de règlement alternatif des litiges (la convention de procédure participative), la réforme des procédures de conciliation et de médiation et la modernisation des professions juridiques et judiciaires. Ce Précis est également fort utile à tous ceux qui préparent les concours d'accès à la magistrature et à la fonction publique ou l'examen des IEJ pour entrer dans un Centre de formation professionnelle d'avocats. Il donne à tout citoyen les clefs de compréhension de la justice et des grands problèmes contemporains qui la concernent (réforme de la carte judiciaire, responsabilité des magistrats, rôles respectifs des juges et des procureurs, place du juge d'instruction, etc). La 5e édition de cet ouvrage (1999) a été traduite en langue chinoise aux éditions Press of China University, juillet 2000.
