Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book questions whether 'autonomy' is a pivotal psychotherapeutic value.

Book Psychoanalysis and Other Disciplines Confront Prejudice

Download or read book Psychoanalysis and Other Disciplines Confront Prejudice written by Fanny Blanck Cereijido and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychoanalysis and Other Disciplines Confront Prejudice: Discrimination Against the Other presents interdisciplinary perspectives on prejudice. This book considers both the negative and positive implications of a priori transmission of values and knowledge. It examines various aspects of prejudice from the perspectives of psychoanalysis, biology, sociology and law. The contributors consider prejudice to be a judgement that precedes experience; it organises and discriminates the events and facts we must assess to understand the world around us, thereby helping us make sense of the world of words, concepts, networks and values into which we are born. Chapters cover a range of topics such as racism, superstition, discrimination and prejudice in psychoanalytic practice. This volume provides a path-breaking treatment of prejudice and how it affects our lives and interactions with others. Psychoanalysts in training and in practice will find this book a vital resource.

Book Changing Notions of the Feminine

Download or read book Changing Notions of the Feminine written by Margarita Cereijido and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As culture changes, so do notions of the feminine. Today, women are exploring new gender identities, gender dynamics, and family configurations. They are questioning and redefining what it is to be feminine and expressing different attitudes toward motherhood. These issues have challenged classic psychoanalytic theory and practice. In this timely collection, a range of prominent psychoanalysts confront and explore their prejudices about changing notions of the feminine, and how it impacts their work. In a period of transition, these issues are present in the clinical material of female patients, and in the material of male patients who struggle in their complementary roles as partners and fathers. But how analysts listen and give meaning to clinical material is significantly affected by the analyst’s own prejudices, her implicit and explicit theories, as well as her subjective view of the world. Discussing topics such as the expression of power, the compatibility of assertiveness and ambition with the feminine, and the psychoanalytic impact of the spread of new reproductive techniques, this important and far-reaching book will be essential reading for any psychoanalyst or psychotherapist who wishes to engage actively with the sociocultural moment in which they work.

Book Notes for a Decolonial Political Theology

Download or read book Notes for a Decolonial Political Theology written by Silvana Rabinovich and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the crossroads of ethics, poetics and politics, this innovative book outlines a series of notes to decolonize political theology. The author proposes counter-hegemonic forms of reading, which deconstruct domination by embracing fragility. The book opens with a diapason of prejudicelessness as a decolonial key, focusing on prejudices that hinder critical attention to a colonial political theology that perpetuates hatred. The first set of notes aims to ‘de-orientalize the Semite’ by reading midrashic and biblical texts in the present context, the second seeks to decolonize language by exploring the power of translation, and the third ponders decolonial theo-logics to outline a justice of the other. Connecting a number of fields, authors, and epistemologies, the book addresses the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and brings together Jewish thought, continental philosophy, and Latin American perspectives. It engages with a range of thinkers, including Benjamin and Arendt, and features an interview with Enrique Dussel. This is an important methodological proposal for interdisciplinary and intercultural political theology and a valuable contribution towards rethinking the paradigm of political theology beyond its Eurocentric and colonialist premises.

Book Racism

    Book Details:
  • Author : George M. Fredrickson
  • Publisher : Princeton University Press
  • Release : 2015-09-15
  • ISBN : 1400873673
  • Pages : 228 pages

Download or read book Racism written by George M. Fredrickson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are antisemitism and white supremacy manifestations of a general phenomenon? Why didn't racism appear in Europe before the fourteenth century, and why did it flourish as never before in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries? Why did the twentieth century see institutionalized racism in its most extreme forms? Why are egalitarian societies particularly susceptible to virulent racism? What do apartheid South Africa, Nazi Germany, and the American South under Jim Crow have in common? How did the Holocaust advance civil rights in the United States? With a rare blend of learning, economy, and cutting insight, George Fredrickson surveys the history of Western racism from its emergence in the late Middle Ages to the present. Beginning with the medieval antisemitism that put Jews beyond the pale of humanity, he traces the spread of racist thinking in the wake of European expansionism and the beginnings of the African slave trade. And he examines how the Enlightenment and nineteenth-century romantic nationalism created a new intellectual context for debates over slavery and Jewish emancipation. Fredrickson then makes the first sustained comparison between the color-coded racism of nineteenth-century America and the antisemitic racism that appeared in Germany around the same time. He finds similarity enough to justify the common label but also major differences in the nature and functions of the stereotypes invoked. The book concludes with a provocative account of the rise and decline of the twentieth century's overtly racist regimes--the Jim Crow South, Nazi Germany, and apartheid South Africa--in the context of world historical developments. This illuminating work is the first to treat racism across such a sweep of history and geography. It is distinguished not only by its original comparison of modern racism's two most significant varieties--white supremacy and antisemitism--but also by its eminent readability.

Book Preguntas M  S Frecuentes de Los Cristianos Sobre la Fe Bah   I

Download or read book Preguntas M S Frecuentes de Los Cristianos Sobre la Fe Bah I written by Thom Thompson and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro es un diálogo franco, abierto y sincero entre un cristiano y un baha'i. El cristiano expone, propone, argumenta y hace preguntas impertinentes al baha'i comenzando con una actitud de mera curiosidad que se va transformando en una búsqueda sincera por entender, comprender, profundizar y asimilar las enseñanzas, principios y pilares de la Fe Bahá'i como fueron presentados por su fundador, Bahá'u'lláh. En dicho diálogo multitud de aspectos son tocados, explicados, ampliados, comparados como le ocurrió a tanto judío cuando escuchó por primera vez el revolucionario Mensaje de Jesús. En forma paralela y similar el cristiano se ve avocado, frente a Bahá'u'lláh que declara ser el Retorno del Espíritu de Jesús, a pasar por un proceso similar de cuestionamiento, de desafío, de reflexión, de investigación que tuvo que pasar un judío cuando escuchó los principios de la Revelación de Jesús, pero que, para el cristiano de hoy día, es la Revelación dada por Bahá'u'lláh. Frente a Bahá'u'lláh no hay 'medias tintas'; o se le acepta como Él afirma Quien es, la Manifestación de Dios más reciente para la Humanidad, o se le rechaza como un impostor, un loco, o un profeta falso. El libro es una franca investigación para esclarecer cuál es la verdad ineludible de Quién es Bahá'u'lláh. Tendrás una amplia oportunidad de forjarte una idea clara al respecto cuando aceptes la invitación de leer el libro hasta el último capítulo. Esta es pues, una cálida invitación a vivenciar la más revolucionaria aventura espiritual que hasta este momento hayas tenido oportunidad de realizar.

Book World Anthropologies

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Book Santiago de Guatemala  1541 1773

Download or read book Santiago de Guatemala 1541 1773 written by Christopher H. Lutz and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Santiago de Guatemala was the colonial capital and most important urban center of Spanish Central America from its establishment in 1541 until the earthquakes of 1773. Christopher H. Lutz traces the demographic and social history of the city during this period, focusing on the rise of groups of mixed descent. During these two centuries the city evolved from a segmented society of Indians, Spaniards, and African slaves to an increasingly mixed population as the formerly all-Indian barrios became home to a large intermediate group of ladinos. The history of the evolution of a multiethnic society in Santiago also sheds light on the present-day struggle of Guatemalan ladinos and Indians and the problems that continue to divide the country today.
