Download or read book Lacanian Psychoanalysis with Babies Children and Adolescents written by Stephanie Farrelly Quinn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lacan did not say or write very much about the psychoanalysis of children. There is no doctrine of the psychoanalysis of children in his work. Instead, his 1956-1957 seminar on 'the object relation' and his 'Note on the Child' of 1969 have been adopted by Lacanian analysts working with children as providing essential coordinates for direction in their clinical work. This book is the result of inviting psychoanalysts of the Lacanian orientation working with children around the globe to theorise and conceptualise that work. The Lacanian psychoanalyst works with the notion of the subject as a 'speaking being', but the child subject brings particular exigencies to the psychoanalytic work. Contributors attend to these exigencies in their essays by articulating the precise particularities of the direction of the treatment and psychoanalytic work with children.

Book excerpt: Noel Carroll, film scholar and philosopher, offers the first serious look at the aesthetics of horror.

A fan and serious student of the horror genre, Carroll brings to bear his comprehensive knowledge of obscure and forgotten works, as well as of the horror masterpieces. Working from a philosophical perspective, he tries to account for how people can find pleasure in having their wits scared out of them. What, after all, are those "paradoxes of the heart" that make us want to be horrified?

Download or read book Hysteria Today written by Anouchka Grose and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hysteria, one of the most diagnosed conditions in human history, is also one of the most problematic. Can it even be said to exist at all? Since the earliest medical texts people have had something to say about 'feminine complaints'. Over the centuries, theorisations of the root causes have lurched from the physiological to the psychological to the socio-political. Thanks to its dual association with femininity and with fakery, the notion of hysteria inevitably provokes questions about women, men, sex, bodies, minds, culture, happiness and unhappiness. To some, it may seem extraordinary that such a contested diagnosis could continue to merit any mention whatsoever. Hysteria Today is a collection of essays whose purpose is to reopen the case for hysteria and to see what relevance, if any, the term may have within contemporary clinical practice.
Download or read book Reading Seminar XX written by Suzanne Barnard and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection offers the first sustained, in-depth commentary on Seminar XX, Encore, considered the cornerstone of Lacan's work on the themes of sexual difference, knowledge, jouissance, and love. Although Seminar XX was originally popularized as Lacan's treatise on feminine sexuality, these essays, by some of today's foremost Lacanian scholars, go beyond feminine sexuality to address Lacan's significant intertwining concern with the rupture between reality and the real produced by modern science, and the implications of this rupture for subjectivity, knowledge, jouissance, and the body. The essays clarify basic concepts, but for readers already familiar with Lacan they also offer sophisticated workings-through of the more challenging and obscure arguments in Encore—both by tracing their historical development across Lacan's œuvre and by demonstrating their relation to particular philosophical, theological, mathematical, and scientific concepts. They cover much of the terrain necessary for understanding sexual difference—not in terms of chromosomes, body parts, choice of sexual partner, or varieties of sexual practice—but in terms of one's position vis-à-vis the Other and the kind of jouissance one is able to obtain. In so doing, they make significant interventions in the debates regarding sex, gender, and sexuality in feminist theory, philosophy, queer theory, and cultural studies.

Download or read book Reading Lacan s crits From Signification of the Phallus to Metaphor of the Subject written by Stijn Vanheule and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Écrits was Jacques Lacan’s single most important text, a landmark in psychoanalysis which epitomized his aim of returning to Freud via structural linguistics, philosophy and literature. Reading Lacan’s Écrits is the first extensive set of commentaries on the complete edition of Lacan’s Écrits to be published in English. An invaluable document in the history of psychoanalysis, and one of the most challenging intellectual works of the twentieth century, Lacan’s Écrits still today begs the interpretative engagement of clinicians, scholars, philosophers and cultural theorists. The three volumes of Reading Lacan’s Écrits offer just this: a series of systematic paragraph-by-paragraph commentaries – by some of the world’s most renowned Lacanian analysts and scholars – on the complete edition of the Écrits, inclusive of lesser known articles such as ‘Kant with Sade’, ‘The Youth of Gide’, ‘Science and Truth’, ‘Presentation on Transference’ and ‘Beyond the "Reality Principle". The originality and importance of Lacan’s Écrits to psychoanalysis and intellectual history is matched only by the text’s notorious inaccessibility. Reading Lacan’s Écrits is an indispensable companion piece and reference-text for clinicians and scholars exploring Lacan's magnum opus. Not only does it contextualize, explain and interrogate Lacan's arguments, it provides multiple interpretative routes through this most labyrinthine of texts. Reading Lacan’s Écrits provides an incisive and accessible companion for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists in training and in practice, as well as philosophers, cultural theorists and literary, social science and humanities researchers who wish to draw upon Lacan’s pivotal work.
Download or read book The Black Mass Of the Loves of the Incubi and Succubi Fantasy and Horror Classics written by Montague Summers and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vintage book deals with the subject of Satanism and demonology, looking in particular at the Black Mass and incubi and succubi. A Black Mass refers to a ritual wherein the Traditional Latin Mass of the Catholic Church is inverted, popularised in the nineteenth century by French literature in such books as Jules Michelet's “Satanism and Witchcraft” and Joris-Karl Huysmans's “Là-bas”; while succubi and incubi are demons that prey upon sleeping victims by engaging in sexual activity with them while they are sleeping. “The Black Mass - Of the Loves of the Incubi and Succubi” will appeal to those with an interest in the occult and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Summers' seminal work. Augustus Montague Summers (1880 – 1948) was an English clergyman and author most famous for his studies on vampires, witches and werewolves—all of which he believed to be very much real. He also wrote the first English translation of the infamous 15th-century witch hunter's manual, the “Malleus Maleficarum”, in 1928. Other notable works by this author include: “A Popular History of Witchcraft” (1937), “Witchcraft and Black Magic” (1946), and “The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism” (1947). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
Download or read book Sleep Paralysis written by Shelley R. Adler and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sleep Paralysis explores a distinctive form of nocturnal fright: the "night-mare," or incubus. In its original meaning a night-mare was the nocturnal visit of an evil being that threatened to press the life out of its victim. Today, it is known as sleep paralysis-a state of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness, when you are unable to move or speak and may experience vivid and often frightening hallucinations. Culture, history, and biology intersect to produce this terrifying sleep phenomenon. Although a relatively common experience across cultures, it is rarely recognized or understood in the contemporary United States. Shelley R. Adler's fifteen years of field and archival research focus on the ways in which night-mare attacks have been experienced and interpreted throughout history and across cultures and how, in a unique example of the effect of nocebo (placebo's evil twin), the combination of meaning and biology may result in sudden nocturnal death.

And if you bought this trunk because you felt drawn to it, then darling, so are you.” One night in 1994 when my sisters and I acquired a grimoire, our lives were changed forever. If resumes were written according to my reading history … I’d be qualified to be an amateur sleuth, a monster hunter, a serial killer, a witch, a fortune teller, a cryptozoologist, a vampire dominatrix … and a monster shagger. Actually, I own a bookstore. But after reading some magical text out loud, my sisters and I might be adding some of these to our resumes. Fingers crossed I get to shag the hot monster. Let’s hope he’s not a serial killer. Warning: This book contains outbursts of graphic language, some violence, humor of various assortments, awesome middle aged witches, ghosts, a talking raven who loves tequila, a bit of mystery and whimsy, nostalgic vibes, and a very hot creature.
