Book excerpt: At once a revered canon associated with Confucius and the earliest anthology of poetry, the Book of Poems holds a unique place in Chinese literary history. Since early imperial times it served as an ideal of literary perfection, as it provided a basis for defining shi poetry, the most esteemed genre of elite composition. In imperial China, however, literary criticism and classical learning represented distinct fields of inquiry that differed in status, with classical learning considered more serious and prestigious. Literary critics thus highlighted connections between the Book of Poems and later verse, while classical scholars obscured the origins of their ideas in literary theory. This book explores the mutual influence of literary and classicizing approaches, which frequently and fruitfully borrowed from one another. Drawing on a wide range of sources including commentaries, anthologies, colophons, and inscriptions, Bruce Rusk chronicles how scholars borrowed from critics without attribution and even resorted to forgery to make appealing new ideas look old. By unraveling the relationships through which classical and literary scholarship on the Book of Poems co-evolved from the Han dynasty through the Qing, this study shows that the ancient classic was the catalyst for intellectual innovation and literary invention.

Download or read book Psychoanalytic Conversations written by Peter L. Rudnytsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this stunning addition to what has of late become a distinct genre of psychoanalytic literature, Peter Rudnytsky presents 10 substantive and provocative interviews with leading analysts, with theorists from allied fields, and with influential Freud critics. In conversations that Rudnytsky succeeds in making psychoanalytic both in form and in content, he guides his interlocutors to unforeseen reflections on the events and forces that shaped their lives, and on the personal and intellectual grounds of their beliefs and practices. Rudnytsky, a ranking academic scholar of psychoanalysis and the humanities, approaches his subjects with not only a highly attuned third ear but also a remarkable grasp of theoretical, historical, and clinical issues. When his interviewees turn from autobiographical narratives to matters of theory and clinical practice, Rudnytsky is clear about his own intellectual allegiance to the Independent tradition of object relations theory and his admiration for John Bowlby and attachment theory. His willingness to set forth his own point of view and occasionally to press a line of questioning infuses his exchanges with an energy, even passion, heretofore unknown in the analytic interview literature. Rudnytsky consistently emerges as a partner, even an analytic partner, in dialogues that meld discovery with self-discovery. To be sure, Psychoanalytic Conversations will find many clinical and scholarly readers among those who relish a good engrossing read. But it will have special appeal to students of analysis who share Rudnytsky's belief that if psychoanalysis is to remain vital in the new century, "it can only be by expanding its horizons and learning from those who have taken it to task."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography skillfully captures the life and times of one of the illustrious Sierra Leoneans, emeritus professor Kosonike Koso-Thomas. Kosonike is a visionary, a philanthropist, and one of the most successful civil engineers in the West African subregion. Koso-Thomas is also a prolific writer. Among his fortes are autobiographies, biographies, and sentimental and aesthetic free-verse poetry. He has successful painting exhibitions to his credit in the United Kingdom and Sierra Leone. The book delves bravely into uncharted waters and reveals some contentious issues raised by conspirators during his tenure of office as the principal of Fourah Bay College and vice chancellor of the University of Sierra Leone. These revelations are for the edification of posterity. On top of that, the facts surrounding the issues are worth revealing. They will aid the solution of the challenges associated with the trying times that face the education sector in Sierra Leone and most of the African continent. The success stories of one of Sierra Leones finest minds are worth telling for the inspiration and enhancing of the recovery projects that have been undertaken, especially in the tertiary sector. The countrys development partners will find some of the recommendations made in this book extremely helpful. Articulated meticulously, they will rejuvenate the hitherto gold standard of education for which Sierra Leone was renowned in its heyday. Generally speaking, the recommendations are the prototypes required for the alleviation of the chronic funding challenges faced by higher education in Africa. Beautifully woven in modern creative-writing style, this biography is coated in rich language sustained by appropriate concepts that befit the genre. It whets the appetites of social planners, academicians, policy makers, and legislators. Above all, it tickles as well as inspires the thinkers of our times.
