        Klinische Epistemologie: Grundlage einer systemischen Psychiatrie und Psychosomatik

        by Fritz B. Simon, Helm Stierlin

        Ziel der hier entworfenen »klinischen Epistemologie« ist es, die Zusammenhänge zwischen individuellen und kollektiven Wirklichkeitskonstruktionen und psychischen wie auch somatischen Symptombildungen zu untersuchen. Dazu werden Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Interaktions- und Kommunikationsmustern in Familien einerseits und affektiv-kognitiven sowie organischen Prozeßmustern andererseits analysiert. Grundlage dieser Untersuchungen bilden die Gesetze der Form von George Spencer Brown und die Theorie autopoietischer Systeme.

        The Pervert’s Guide to Cinema

        Präsentiert von Slavoj Žižek

        by Slavoj Žižek, Sophie Fiennes

        Slavoj Žižek hat zwei große Leidenschaften: Das Kino und die Psychoanalyse. Was liegt da näher, als Hollywood – das Theater der Träume – auf die Couch zu legen? Für die Regisseurin Sophie Fiennes hat Žižek seine Lieblingsszenen aus etwa vierzig Klassikern (von Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch u. v. a.), ausgewählt, die er in diesem Film – oft an Originalschauplätzen – mit dem begrifflichen Instrumentarium von Freud und Lacan analysiert: Inwiefern korrespondiert die Architektur des Hauses von Norman Bates (»Psycho«) mit Freuds Strukturmodell der Psyche? Was hätte der Entdecker des Ödipus-Komplexes zu dem Konflikt zwischen Luke Skywalker und Darth Vader gesagt? Als »150-minütige Achterbahnfahrt durch die Geschichte von Kino und psychologischer Filmtheorie« bezeichnete die »Frankfurter Rundschau« Žižeks cineastischen Crashkurs, dem Philosophen selbst attestierte sie »beachtliches Starpotenzial.«

        The Irish Government and Peace in Northern Ireland, from Sunningdale to the Good Friday Agreement

        by Graham Spencer

        Volume one of the most authoritative and revealing account yet of how the Irish Government managed the Northern Ireland peace process and helped broker a political settlement to end the conflict there. Based on eight extended interviews with key officials and political leaders, this book provides a compelling picture of how the peace process was created and how it came to be successful. Covering areas such as informal negotiation, text and context, strategy, working with British and American Governments, and offering perceptions of other players involved in the dialogue and negotiations that led to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 and the power-sharing arrangements that followed, this dramatic account will become a major source for academics and interested readers alike for years to come. Volume one deals with the Irish Government and Sunningdale (1973) and the Anglo-Irish Agreement (1985) and Volume two on the Good Friday Agreement (1998) and beyond.

        Beyond the Happening

        Performance art and the politics of communication

        by Catherine Spencer

        Beyond the Happening uncovers the heterogeneous, uniquely interdisciplinary performance-based works that emerged in the aftermath of the early Happenings. By the mid-1960s Happenings were widely declared outmoded or even 'dead', but this book reveals how many practitioners continued to work with the form during the late 1960s and 1970s, developing it into a vehicle for studying interpersonal communication that simultaneously deployed and questioned contemporary sociology and psychology. Focussing on the artists Allan Kaprow, Marta Minujín, Carolee Schneemann and Lea Lublin, it charts how they revised and retooled the premises of the Happening within a wider network of dynamic international activity. The resulting performances directly intervened in the wider discourse of communication studies, as it manifested in the politics of countercultural dropout, soft power and cultural diplomacy, alternative pedagogies, sociological art and feminist consciousness-raising.

        Love's Sacrifice

        by A. T. Moore

        A. T. Moore's thorough commentary on "Love's Sacrifice" is designed to be of use to all kinds of readers, from students of Early Modern drama to specialists in the field. The notes provide full explanations of obscure words and phrases, and offer analyzes of many aspects of staging and interpretation. The text for this edition is based on a fresh study of the quarto of 1633, the only authoritative early text. In his introduction to the play, Moore reappraises the evidence for the play's date of composition. He also looks at the circumstances of the play's genesis, presenting detailed discussions of both the theater where "Love's Sacrifice" was first performed and the acting company for which it was written. Arguing that Ford's adaptation of his source materials is the key to interpreting this remarkably allusive play, Moore provides a wealth of new information about Ford's sources.The introduction also includes a survey of critical responses, an overview of the play, stage history, and a bibliography of relevant secondary material. This new volume in the "Revels Plays" series is the most detailed and comprehensive edition of "Love's Sacrifice" ever published - and the first modern-spelling edition of Ford's tragedy in more than a century. The play's textual history is discussed in an appendix. A second appendix examines possible links between "Love's Sacrifice" and the real-life story of the murdered Italian prince and musician Carlo Gesualdo. ;
