Humanities & Social SciencesA Guilty Conscience – Nuisance or Asset?
by Maja Storch, Gerhard Roth
A guilty conscience can be a real nuisance. There is simply no rest and you can’t just turn it off through rational thought. Psychologically, in psychotherapy, advising and coaching, a guilty conscience is one of the most persistent and difficult symptoms to pin down. Maja Storch and Gerhard Roth ask the questions: why feelings of guilt are so prolonged and how to deal with them. Gerhard Roth explains which components of the human brain, over the course of its development, give rise to a phenomenon as complex as a guilty conscience. Using three practical and easily understandable examples, Maja Storch presents a system for everyday use which can be used to get to the root of your own guilty conscience and to develop a plan for dealing with it. For:• wide audience• therapists• coaches

Photography & photographs2019I feel guilty when I throw away food. Grandma used to tell me about Holodomor (Famine of 1933)
by Andrii Dostliev, Lia Dostlieva, introduction by Serhiy Zhadan
Post-photographic research, which explores traces of a traumatic historical event in everyday practices and in contemporary landscape and tests the limits of photography as a medium in trauma representation. The starting point of this project was the personal sense of guilt which accompanies the acts of throwing food away. This feeling is common in contemporary Ukrainian culture and originates in our postmemory - it was imprinted into our generation’s behavioral patterns by the stories of our grandparents - survivors of the man-made famine of 1932-33 in Soviet Ukraine called the Holodomor, which killed millions. The ink prints document the thrown-away food while fragments of found black-and-white photographs of unrecognisable landscapes demonstrate the lack of the famine’s traces in the landscape – unlike many collective traumas which have exact geographic locations and present in the landscape in the form of ‘places of memory’.

Literature & Literary StudiesAugust 2023Poison on the early modern English stage
Plants, paints and potions
by Lisa Hopkins, Bill Angus
Many early modern plays use poison, most famously Hamlet, where the murder of Old Hamlet showcases the range of issues poison mobilises. Its orchard setting is one of a number of sinister uses of plants which comment on both the loss of horticultural knowledge resulting from the Dissolution of the Monasteries and also the many new arrivals in English gardens through travel, trade, and attempts at colonisation. The fact that Old Hamlet was asleep reflects unease about soporifics troubling the distinction between sleep and death; pouring poison into the ear smuggles in the contemporary fear of informers; and it is difficult to prove. This book explores poisoning in early modern plays, the legal and epistemological issues it raises, and the cultural work it performs, which includes questions related to race, religion, nationality, gender, and humans' relationship to the environment.

February 1994Klar, dass Mama Ole lieber hat / Klar, dass Mama Anna lieber hat
by Kirsten Boie, Silke Brix
"Klar, dass Mama Anna/Ole lieber hat" von Kirsten Boie beleuchtet humorvoll und einfühlsam die alltäglichen Streitigkeiten und Rivalitäten zwischen Geschwistern aus beiden Perspektiven. Anna, fast sieben Jahre alt und Erstklässlerin, ist genervt von ihrem kleinen Bruder Ole, der noch nicht einmal vier ist und gerade erst in den Kindergarten gekommen ist. Sie empfindet ihn als ständige Quelle der Irritation, sei es durch das Essen ihrer Schokolade aus dem Adventskalender oder sein Drängen, bei ihren Spielen mitmachen zu dürfen, wobei sie glaubt, dass ihre Mutter stets Oles Seite ergreift. Ole hingegen fühlt sich von Anna ausgeschlossen, bekommt nie etwas von ihren Süßigkeiten ab und wird von der Mutter geschimpft, wenn er aus Frustration handgreiflich wird, sodass er überzeugt ist, dass seine Mutter Anna bevorzugt. Trotz dieser Konflikte zeigt Boie, dass Geschwister in Momenten der Angst und Unsicherheit auch Trost und Sicherheit im Beisammensein finden können, etwa wenn in der Dunkelheit "gefährliche Räuber" lauern, was die komplexe und letztlich liebevolle Beziehung zwischen Geschwistern unterstreicht. Fängt die realistischen Spannungen und Rivalitäten zwischen Geschwistern ein, wodurch es sich besonders für Familien mit mehreren Kindern eignet. Kirsten Boie beschreibt mit Humor und Verständnis die täglichen Herausforderungen im Geschwisteralltag, was das Buch sowohl amüsant als auch lehrreich macht. Beleuchtet die Geschichte aus beiden Blickwinkeln der Geschwister, wodurch Kinder lernen, Empathie für die Gefühle und Sichtweisen anderer zu entwickeln. Ideal für Geschwisterkinder, um Eifersucht zu thematisieren und den Liebesverlust der Eltern aus verschiedenen Perspektiven zu verstehen. Auch nach mehrmaligem Vorlesen bleibt die Geschichte interessant für Kinder und Erwachsene, dank der lebhaften Sprache und der detailreichen Handlungen. Für Kinder ab 4 Jahren ansprechend illustriert von Silke Brix.

Most discussion of visitor experiences uses a behavioural or managerial approach where the way the visitor thinks is ignored - it's a black box. Visitor Experience Design is the first book of its kind to examine best practice in creating and delivering exciting and memorable travel and visitation experiences from a cognitive psychological perspective - it opens the black box. The chapters draw on recent findings from cognitive psychology, cognitive science and neuroscience to provide a basis for a better understanding of the antecedents of a memorable experience, including: · The psychological process of the formation or creation of a visitor's experiences · Psychological aspects of tourism experiences such as attention, emotion, memory and mindfulness · Pre-stage experience: customer inputs such as knowledge, myths, values and memories from previous travel · On-site experience: co-creation processes · Post-stage experience: immediate and long term outcomes including happiness and well-being · Experience design cases Tourism, hospitality and event managers seek to provide WOW experiences to their visitors through better design and management.This book encourages the discussion of different facets of experience design such as emotions, attentions, sensations, learning, the process of co-creation and experiential stimuli design. It will be of interest to tourism researchers and postgraduate students studying tourism management, marketing and product design.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017Popular imperialism and the military, 1850-1950
by John M. MacKenzie
Colonial war played a vital part in transforming the reputation of the military and placing it on a standing equal to that of the navy. The book is concerned with the interactive culture of colonial warfare, with the representation of the military in popular media at home, and how these images affected attitudes towards war itself and wider intellectual and institutional forces. It sets out to relate the changing image of the military to these fundamental facts. For the dominant people they were an atavistic form of war, shorn of guilt by Social Darwinian and racial ideas, and rendered less dangerous by the increasing technological gap between Europe and the world. Attempts to justify and understand war were naturally important to dominant people, for the extension of imperial power was seldom a peaceful process. The entertainment value of war in the British imperial experience does seem to have taken new and more intensive forms from roughly the middle of the nineteenth century. Themes such as the delusive seduction of martial music, the sketch of the music hall song, powerful mythic texts of popular imperialism, and heroic myths of empire are discussed extensively. The first important British war correspondent was William Howard Russell (1820-1907) of The Times, in the Crimea. The 1870s saw a dramatic change in the representation of the officer in British battle painting. Up to that point it was the officer's courage, tactical wisdom and social prestige that were put on display.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2021Critical theory and feeling
The affective politics of the early Frankfurt School
by Simon Mussell
This book offers a unique and timely reading of the early Frankfurt School in response to the recent 'affective turn' within the arts and humanities. Resisting the overly rationalist tendencies of political philosophy, it argues that critical theory actively cultivates a powerful connection between thinking and feeling, and rediscovers a range of often neglected concepts that were of vital importance to the first generation of critical theorists, including melancholia, hope, (un)happiness, objects and mimesis. In doing so, it brings the dynamic work of Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Ernst Bloch and Siegfried Kracauer into conversation with more recent debates around politics and affect. An important intervention in the fields of affect studies and social and political thought, Critical theory and feeling shows that sensuous experience is at the heart of the Frankfurt School's affective politics.

July 2022Chronic Depression
by Leuzinger-Bohleber, Marianne; Fischmann, Tamara; Beutel, Manfred E.
Chronically depressed patients are often considered difficult to treat because the illness is often closely related to severe traumatic experiences. This manual focuses on traumatized, chronically depressed patients: it outlines both the disorder as well as its diagnostic approach and explains the basic assumptions of the psychoanalytic understanding of depression. It explains the basic treatment steps in long-term psychoanalytic treatment of chronically depressed, early traumatized patients, and addresses specific challenges such as suicidality, aggression, and guilt. Basic therapeutic approaches and treatment principles are illustrated through specific case examples. The effectiveness of this manual has been demonstrated in a study of long-term therapies for chronic depression (the so-called LAC Depression Study). For:• psychoanalysts• psychotherapists working on the basis of depthpsychology• mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy• candidates for training in psychotherapy
