Präsenzgeschichten: Virtuelle Realitäten im Theater der Frühen Neuzeit (Simulatio. Theatertechniken in Literatur, Medien und Wissenschaft)
by Jenny Augustin Johanna AbelBei einem Blick auf virtuelle Realitäten im frühneuzeitlichen Theater gilt es, unsere vom digitalen Zeitalter geprägten Konzepte der Virtualität und Präsenz zu revidieren. Auf dem Gebiet der Kulturen der Romania haben multiple Präsenz- und Virtualitätsverständnisse eine lange und kontroverse Geschichte. In der Auseinandersetzung mit der Vorgeschichte erweiterter Realitätserfahrungen am Modell des Theaters geht es vor allem um die Einbettung von Vergegenwärtigungstechniken in verflochtene Geschichten und vielschichtige Narrationen vom wirkmächtig Virtuellen. Hier werden daher Präsenzgeschichten im Plural in diversen Medien und epistemischen Erzeugungskontexten durchgespielt.
Próxima estación, Cataluña
by Manuel MedinaLa historia de la inmigración andaluza en Cataluña, y de cómo ésta acogió y protegió a los trabajadores sin importar su procedencia. La creación de La Caixa, del Hospital Vall d'Hebrón, del hotel Casa Fuster, de Radio Tele-Taxi, a través de sus protagonistas. Manuel Medina pertenece a la generación de los niños del hambre, nacidos en los difíciles años de la posguerra. Su infancia transcurrió en las duras tierras de Jaén, en la Cañada de la Fuensanta, donde la necesidad dirigía estas vidas que contaban con el amor de la familia como único patrimonio. En este ambiente, y cuando apuntaba la adolescencia en los años cincuenta, empezó a ver cómo gran parte de su familia emigraba a Cataluña en busca, ya no de una vida mejor, sino tan sólo de la posibilidad de comer todos los días. Hoy, sesenta años después de que sus tíos y primos comenzaron a coger el tren de la emigración, el autor realiza un viaje por Cataluña en busca de aquellos viajeros del hambre. Sus historias son muy distintas, mientras unos apenas consiguieron cubrir las necesidades vitales, otros alcanzaron un nivel de vida y éxito profesional que ni podían imaginar que existían. Nombres de sobra conocidos: Justo Molinero, José Manuel Lara, Enrique Morente, Paco Ibáñez,... acompañan a personalidades de allí como Francesc Moragas, Isidro Fainé, Antoni Durán i Lleida, Joan Manuel Serrat, Jordi Pujol, Artur Mas, etc. La familia Medina, y otras provenientes de Cataluña, viven hoy perfectamente integradas en la sociedad catalana, lo mismo que muchos otros emigrantes con los que el autor se ha ido encontrando en el final de este viaje que comenzó hace más de medio siglo y que tenía por Próxima estación, Cataluña.
Pseudo-Memoirs: Life and Its Imitation in Modern Fiction (Frontiers of Narrative)
by Rochelle TobiasPseudo-Memoirs redefines the notion of fiction itself, a form that has all too often been understood in terms of its capacity to produce a seeming reality. Rochelle Tobias argues that the verisimilitude of the novel derives not from its object but from the subjectivity at its base. What generates the plausibility of fiction is not the referentiality of its depictions but the intentionality of consciousness. Edmund Husserl developed the idea that consciousness is always intentional in the sense that it is directed outside itself toward something that it does not find so much as it constitutes as an object. Pseudo-memoirs reveal the full implications of this position in their double structure as the tale of their own telling or the fiction of life-writing. In so doing they reveal how the world of fiction is constructed, but more important they bring to the fore the idealist premises that fuel the novel and guarantee its truth, even when it remains an invention of the imagination. Rochelle Tobias explores novels by Thomas Mann, Robert Walser, Thomas Bernhard, and W. G. Sebald in conjunction with philosophical and theoretical texts by René Descartes, Husserl, Friedrich Nietzsche, György Łukács, Roland Barthes, and Maurice Blanchot.
Pseudo-retranslation (Palgrave Studies in Translating and Interpreting)
by Mehmet YildizThis book presents pseudo-retranslations as a new phenomenon of translational intertextuality, revealing how pseudo-retranslations establish large networks of intertextuality across academic works, how academic authors have recourse to this procedure as they create their academic texts, and how pseudo-retranslations contribute to the dissemination of translation-distorted scholarly knowledge and lead to epistemically polluted academic ecosystems. Pseudo-retranslation can be defined as an academic author’s partial or complete exploitation of another academic author’s translation and presenting it as a retranslation of the source text. This phenomenon, first documented in Yildiz (2021), arises from academic authors’ failure to refer to or translate primary sources – particularly in English. Since there occurs no actual retranslation process, this procedure is called pseudo-retranslation. Using a range of academic texts from the Turkish context as case studies, the author presents the integral constituents of this phenomenon, and the behavioural patterns of its renderers. This book will be of particular interest to academics and postgraduates in the field of translation studies and (corpus) linguistics.
Pseudology: The Science of Lying
by Marcel DanesiIn an age where fake news, conspiracy theories, and outright lies by political and cultural leaders are commonplace, we may be becoming accustomed to lying, or worse, even immune to it. Pseudology unravels the reasons for this by describing a “science of lying” that looks at various aspects of this trait, from how it affects the brain to how it distorts perception.Interest in lying goes back to antiquity and writing and debate has only increased in the present day, but what is missing is a treatment that synthesizes the work from linguists, political scientists, anthropologists, psychologists, neuroscientists, and sociologists, tying them to the philosophical and literary views of lying throughout history. Such a treatment can be called "pseudology": an interdisciplinary science for classifying, collating, and assessing ideas about lying. This book is a comprehensive treatment of pseudology, emphasising the importance of studying lying in our current climate. Pseudology addresses questions such as:• What is a lie?• Why do we lie?• Why are we so susceptible to lying?• How does lying activate false beliefs and generate hatred of others?• How has lying shaped the course of history (at least to some extent)?• How has lying been adopted as a basic thematic element in literature and the arts?Synthesising research from a broad range of disciplines and from the perspective of a leading cognitive linguist, this text weaves ideas and theories about lying cohesively into an overall interdisciplinary science. This landmark book is vital for students and scholars of language as well as anyone interested in politics, sociology, or psychology.
Pseudonymous Shakespeare: Rioting Language in the Sidney Circle
by Penny McCarthyAn investigation into modes of early modern English literary 'indirection,' this study could also be considered a detective work on a pseudonym attached to some late sixteenth-century works. In the course of unmasking 'R.L.', McCarthy scrutinizes devices employed by writers in the Sidney coterie: punning, often across languages; repetitio-insistence on a sound, or hiding two persons 'under one hood'; disingenuous juxtaposition; evocation of original context; differential spelling (intended and significant). Among McCarthy's stunning-but solidly underpinned-conclusions are: Shakespeare used the pseudonym 'R.L.' among other pseudonyms; one, 'William Smith', was also his 'alias' in life; Shakespeare was at the heart of the Sidney circle, whose literary programme was hostile to Elizabeth I; and his work, composed mainly from the late 1570s to the early 90s, occasionally 'embedded' in the work of others, was covertly alluded to more often than has been recognized.
Psychedelic Prophets: The Letters of Aldous Huxley and Humphry Osmond (McGill-Queen's/Associated Medical Services Studies in the History of Medicine, Health, and Society #48)
by Patrick Farrell Erika Dyck Cynthia Carson Bisbee Paul Bisbee James Sexton James SpisakAldous Huxley (1894–1963) was the author of nearly fifty books and numerous essays, best known for his dystopian novel Brave New World. Humphry Osmond (1917–2004) was a British-trained psychiatrist interested in the biological nature of mental illness and the potential for psychedelic drugs to treat psychoses, especially schizophrenia. In 1953, Huxley sent an appreciative note to Osmond about an article he and a colleague had published on their experiments with mescaline, which inspired an initial meeting and decade-long correspondence. <P><P> This critical edition provides the complete Huxley-Osmond correspondence, chronicling an exchange between two brilliant thinkers who explored such subjects as psychedelics, the visionary experience, the nature of mind, human potentialities, schizophrenia, death and dying, Indigenous rituals and consciousness, socialism, capitalism, totalitarianism, power and authority, and human evolution. <P><P>There are references to mutual friends, colleagues, and eminent figures of the day, as well as details about both men's personal lives. The letters bear witness to the development of mind-altering drugs aimed at discovering the mechanisms of mental illness and eventually its treatment. <P><P>A detailed introduction situates the letters in their historical, social, and literary context, explores how Huxley and Osmond first coined the term "psychedelic," contextualizes their work in mid-century psychiatry, and reflects on their legacy as contributors to the science of mind-altering substances. <P><P> Psychedelic Prophets is an extraordinary record of a full correspondence between two leading minds and a testament to friendship, intellectualism, empathy, and tolerance. The fact that these sentiments emerge so clearly from the letters, at a historical moment best known for polarizing ideological conflict, threats of nuclear war, and the rise of post-modernism, reveals much about the personalities of the authors and the persistence of these themes today.
Psychedelischer Realismus: Halluzination, Neurodiversität und Phantastik in Prosatexten (1900–1950)
by Jan KruseDas vorliegende Buch liefert ein neues literaturwissenschaftliches Analyseverfahren, mit dem veränderte Bewusstseinszustände in Texten analysiert werden können. Dabei werden auch Erkenntnisse aus anderen Wissenschaftsrichtungen, wie der Bewusstseins- bzw. Neurophilosophie und der Sozialpsychiatrie, miteinbezogen und zu einer interdisziplinären und intermedialen Verfahrensweise verwoben, die anschließend auf literarische Texte angewandt wird. Im Mittelpunkt der Analyse steht die Konzeption einer neuen Textsorte im Bereich der Prosa, die als Psychedelischer Realismus bezeichnet wird. Untersuchungsgegenstand sind deutschsprachige Texte aus der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts, in denen veränderte Bewusstseinszustände ästhetisch dargestellt sind. Bei der ausgewählten Literatur handelt es sich sowohl um nicht-kanonische Texte (beispielsweise von Oscar A. H. Schmitz, Salomo Friedlaender, Hanns Heinz Ewers) als auch kanonische (etwa von Thomas Mann, Hermann Hesse, Ernst Jünger). Der Autor geht davon aus, dass Texte, in denen veränderte Bewusstseinszustände vorkommen, gemeinsame inhaltliche und formale Merkmale aufweisen.
Psychiatry and Decolonisation in Uganda (Mental Health in Historical Perspective)
by Yolana PringleThis open access book investigates psychiatry in Uganda during the years of decolonisation. It examines the challenges facing a new generation of psychiatrists as they took over responsibility for psychiatry at the end of empire, and explores the ways psychiatric practices were tied to shifting political and development priorities, periods of instability, and a broader context of transnational and international exchange. At its heart is a question that has concerned psychiatrists globally since the mid-twentieth century: how to bridge the social and cultural gap between psychiatry and its patients? Bringing together archival research with oral histories, Yolana Pringle traces how this question came to dominate both national and international discussions on mental health care reform, including at the World Health Organization, and helped spur a culture of experimentation and creativity globally. As Pringle shows, however, the history of psychiatry during the years of decolonisation remained one of marginality, and ultimately, in the context of war and violence, the decolonisation of psychiatry was incomplete.
Psychic Empire: Literary Modernism and the Clinical State (Modernist Latitudes)
by Cate I. ReillyIn nineteenth-century imperial Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, new scientific fields like psychophysics, empirical psychology, clinical psychiatry, and neuroanatomy transformed the understanding of mental life in ways long seen as influencing modernism. Turning to the history of psychiatric classification for mental illnesses, Cate I. Reilly argues that modernist texts can be understood as critically responding to objective scientific models of the psyche, not simply illustrating their findings. Modernist works written in industrializing Central and Eastern Europe historicize the representation of consciousness as a quantifiable phenomenon within techno-scientific modernity.Looking beyond modernism’s well-studied relationship to psychoanalysis, this book tells the story of the non-Freudian vocabulary for mental illnesses that forms the precursor to today’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Developed by the German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin in the 1890s, this psychiatric taxonomy grew from the claim that invisible mental illnesses were analogous to physical phenomena in the natural world. Reilly explores how figures such as Georg Büchner, Ernst Toller, Daniel Paul Schreber, Nikolai Evreinov, Vsevolod Ivanov, and Santiago Ramón y Cajal understood the legal and political consequences of representing mental life in physical terms. Working across literary studies, the history of science, psychoanalytic criticism, critical theory, and political philosophy, Psychic Empire is an original account of modernism that shows the link between nineteenth-century scientific research on the mental health of national populations and twenty-first-century globalized, neuroscientific accounts of psychopathology and sanity.
Psychoanalysis and ...: The Sublime And The Grandiose In Literature, Psychopathology, And Culture (Routledge Library Editions: Psychoanalysis)
by Henry Sussman Richard FeldsteinOriginally published in 1990, Psychoanalysis and… brings together essays by critics whose work demonstrates the lively interpenetration of psychoanalysis and other disciplines. Andrew Ross investigates psychoanalysis and Marxist thought; Joel Fineman reads the "sound of O" in Othello; Jane Gallop asks "Why does Freud giggle when the women leave the room?"; and Ellie Ragland-Sullivan examines Lacan’s seminars on James Joyce. This stimulating collection of work should still be required reading, especially for students of literature. But Psychoanalysis and… demonstrates that psychoanalysis – and theoretical criticism, and feminism, and Lacanian theory, and semiotics, and Marxism, and deconstruction, and literary criticism – was, at the time, a rich and expanding terrain.
Psychoanalysis and Gender: An Introductory Reader (Critical Readers in Theory and Practice)
by Rosalind MinskyWhat is object-relations theory and what does it have to do with literary studies? How can Freud's phallocentric theories be applied by feminist critics? In Psychoanalysis and Gender: An Introductory Reader Rosalind Minsky answers these questions and more, offering students a clear, straightforward overview without ever losing them in jargon.In the first section Minsky outlines the fundamentals of the theory, introducing the key thinkers and providing clear commentary. In the second section, the theory is demonstrated by an anthology of seminal essays which includes:* Feminity by Sigmund Freud* Envy and Gratitude by Melanie Klein* An extract from Transitional Objects and Transitional Phenomena by Donald Winnicot* The Meaning of the Phallus by Jacques Lacan* An extract from Women's Time by Julia Kristeva* An extract from Speculum of the Other Woman by Luce Irigaray
Psychoanalysis and Narrative: Literature, Film and Autobiography (ISSN)
by Jorgelina CorbattaPsychoanalysis and Narrative analyzes narrative in literary fiction, film, and autobiography through different psychoanalytic lenses including gender and socio-cultural perspectives. This book aims to demonstrate how fictionists and film makers have intuitively developed – through their own creativity – many of the psychoanalytic discoveries about the human mind. Subverting the usual direction of “applied psychoanalysis,” the book goes from creativity to psychoanalysis, and focuses on four internationally known Argentine writers: Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, Manuel Puig, and Luisa Valenzuela; two Argentine women filmmakers, Lucrecia Martel and Lucía Puenzo; and French essayist and writer Serge Doubrovsky. This volume will be of interest to students and academics interested in autobiography and autofiction.
Psychoanalysis and the New Rhetoric: Freud, Burke, Lacan, and Philosophy's Other Scenes (The\lines Of The Symbolic In Psychoanalysis Ser.)
by Chris Vanderwees Daniel AdlemanPsychoanalysis and the New Rhetoric: Freud, Burke, Lacan, and Philosophy's Other Scenes is an innovative work that places the fields of psychoanalysis and rhetoric in dynamic resonance with one another. The book operates according to a compelling interdisciplinary conceit: Adleman provocatively explores the psychoanalytic aspects of rhetoric and Vanderwees probes the rhetorical dimensions of psychoanalytic practice. This thoroughly researched text takes a closer look at the "missed encounter" between rhetoric and psychoanalysis. The first section of the book explores the massive, but underappreciated, influence of Freudian psychoanalysis on Kenneth Burke’s "new rhetoric." The book’s second section undertakes sustained investigations into the rhetorical dimensions of psychoanalytic concepts such as transference, free association, and listening. Psychoanalysis and the New Rhetoric then culminates in a more comprehensive discussion of Lacanian psychoanalysis in the context of Kenneth Burke’s new rhetoric. The book therefore serves as an invaluable aperture to the fields of psychoanalysis and rhetoric, including their much overlooked disciplinary entanglement. Psychoanalysis and the New Rhetoric will be of great interest to scholars of psychoanalytic studies, rhetoric, language studies, semiotics, media studies, and communication studies.
Psychoanalysis as Therapy and Storytelling (The New Library of Psychoanalysis)
by Antonino FerroIs psychoanalysis a type of literature? Can telling 'stories' help us to get at the truth? Psychoanalysis as Therapy and Storytelling examines psychoanalysis from two perspectives - as a cure for psychic suffering, and as a series of stories told between patient and analyst. Antonino Ferro uses numerous clinical examples to investigate how narration and interpretation are interconnected in the analytic session. He draws on and develops Bion's theories to present a novel perspective on subjects such as: psychoanalysis as a particular form of literature sexuality as a narrative genre or dialect in the analyst's consulting room delusion and hallucination acting out, the countertransference and the transgenerational field play: characters, narrations and interpretations. Psychoanalytic clinicians and theoreticians alike will find the innovative approach to the analytic session described here of great interest. Winner of the 2007 Sigourney Award.
Psychoanalysis, Historiography, and the Nazi Camps: Accounting for Survival (The Holocaust and its Contexts)
by Dan StoneIn the postwar years, Dutch survivors Eddy de Wind, Louis Micheels, and Elie A. Cohen, who went on to become practicing psychoanalysts, penned accounts of their survival of the Nazi camps. Their sober assessments contrast sharply with those by Bruno Bettelheim and Viktor Frankl, which emphasized decisiveness, 'positive thinking', and resistance, missing the fact that many Holocaust victims with those characteristics or other qualities did not survive. De Wind’s, Micheels’ and Cohen’s accounts are more sober, (self-)critical, and shaped by analytical practice. By analyzing them anew and comparing them with accounts by female doctors who survived Block 10 in Auschwitz, this book argues that their theories of survival accord with contemporary sensibilities in psychoanalysis and Holocaust historiography. Psychoanalytic concepts have changed over time in response to greater understanding of the Holocaust and recent Holocaust historiography makes us more receptive to insights that were unfashionable in the first postwar decades.
Psychoanalytic Criticism: A Reappraisal (New Accents Ser.)
by Elizabeth WrightFirst published in 2002. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
Psychoanalytic Literary Criticism (Longman Critical Readers)
by Maud EllmannThis collection of essays provides students of literary critical theory with an introduction to Freudian methods of interpretation, and shows how those methods have been transformed by recent developments in French psychoanalysis, particularly by the influence of Jacques Lacan. It explains how classical Freudian criticism tended to focus on the thematic content of the literary text, whereas Lacanian criticism focuses on its linguistic structure, redirecting the reader to the words themselves. Concepts and methods are defined by tracing the role played by the drama of Oedipus in the development of psychoanalytic theory and criticism. The essays cover a wide generic scope and are divided into three parts: drama, narrative and poetry. Each is accompanied by explanatory headnotes giving clear definitions of complex terms.
Psychoanalytic Readings of Hawthorne’s Romances: Narratives of Unconscious Crisis and Transformation (Psychoanalytic Explorations)
by David B. DiamondOffering innovative, psychoanalytic readings of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s four romances, this volume systematically applies Freudian theory to present significant new insights into the psychology of Hawthorne’s characters and their fates. By critically examining scenes in which the protagonists confront past traumas, Diamond underscores the transformative potential which Hawthorne attributes to encounters with the unconscious. Psychoanalytic narrative technique is employed to interpret the psychogical crises, all hidden by Hawthorne in narrative gaps, in The Scarlet Letter, The House of the Seven Gables, The Blithedale Romance, and The Marble Faun. The protagonists' transformations that are illuminated are crucial to an understanding of the trajectory and resolution of the romances. The text will benefit both academic and non-academic readers who seek a deeper understanding of the psychology of Hawthorne's romances. It will be of particular interest to educators and researchers of applied psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic technique. Since its conclusions challenge many currently held critical views, this volume is especially relevant to scholars of Hawthorne studies, interdisciplinary literary studies, and 19th century American literature.
Psycholinguistic Approaches to Meaning and Understanding across Languages
by Barbara Hemforth Barbara Mertins Cathrine Fabricius-HansenReports on joint work by researchers from different theoretical and linguistic backgrounds offer new insights on the interaction of linguistic code and context in language production and comprehension. This volume takes a genuinely cross-linguistic approach integrating theoretically well-founded contrastive descriptions with thorough empirical investigations. Authors answer questions on the topic of how we 'encode' complex thoughts into linguistic signals and how we interpret such signals in appropriate ways Chapters combine on- and off-line empirical methods varying from large-scale corpus analyses over acceptability judgements, sentence completion studies and reading time experiments. The authors shed new light on the central questions related to our everyday use of language, especially the problem of how we construe meaning in and through language in general as well as through the means provided by particular languages.
Psycholinguistic Implications for Linguistic Relativity: A Case Study of Chinese
by Rumjahn HoosainRather than offering variations in "world view" as evidence for linguistic relativity, this book views language related differences in terms of the facility with which information is processed. Distinctive perceptual, memory, and neurolinguistic aspects of the Chinese language are discussed, as is the cognitive style of the Chinese people. Chinese orthography and other features of morphology and syntax are examined in relation to both bottom-up and top-down cognitive processes. While providing an extensive review of the experimental literature published in English on the Chinese language, this volume also offers a significant sample of the literature originally published in Chinese.
Psycholinguistic Research: Implications and Applications (Psychology Library Editions: Psycholinguistics)
by Robert W. Rieber Doris AaronsonOriginally published in 1979, this book represents an effort to bring together the two disciplines at the core of psycholinguistics, psychology and linguistics. It discusses a broad variety of theoretical approaches to psycholinguistics as well as covering a wide range of topics. At the time the book had four goals: to discuss many of the important contemporary issues in psycholinguistics; to explore the different views on major theoretical controversies; to provide an analysis of background literature as a framework in which to evaluate the issues and controversies; and to describe interesting high-quality research currently being done by the authors and some of their colleagues. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context, with many of the chapters still relevant in psycholinguistic research today.
Psycholinguistic and Sociolinguistic Perspectives on Second Language Learning and Teaching
by Mirosław Pawlak Krystyna Drozdzial-SzelestThe volume provides a state-of-the-art overview of key issues in second language learning and teaching, adopting as a point of reference both psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic perspectives. The papers included in the collection, which have been contributed by leading specialists in the field from Poland and abroad, touch upon important theoretical issues, report latest research findings and offer guidelines for classroom practice. The range of topics covered and the inclusion of concrete pedagogic proposals ensures that the book will be of interest to a wide audience, not only SLA specialists, but also methodologists, material designers, undergraduate and graduate students, and practitioners
Psycholinguistics and Phonology: The Forgotten Foundations of Generative Phonology (Elements in Phonology)
by Naiyan Du Karthik DurvasulaResearch over the last few decades has consistently questioned the sufficiency of abstract/ discrete phonological representations based on putative misalignments between predictions from such representations and observed experimental results. The authors first suggest that many of the arguments ride on misunderstandings of the original claims from generative phonology, and that the typical evidence furnished is consistent with those claims. They then focus in on the phenomenon of incomplete neutralisation and show that it is consistent with the classic generative phonology view. The authors further point out that extant accounts of the phenomenon do not achieve important desiderata and typically do not provide an explanation for either the phenomenon itself, or why there are actually at least two different kinds of incomplete neutralisation that don't stem from task confounds. Finally, they present new experimental data and explain that the phenomenon is an outcome of planning using abstract/discrete phonological knowledge.
Psycholinguistics: Central Topics
by Alan GarnhamFrom the author: This book reflects my beliefs about how psycholinguistics, and cognitive psychology in general, should be taught. Since psycholinguistics is a scientific discipline, the book discusses theories about the central cognitive aspects of language understanding, rather than presenting a morass of unstructured facts on a series of loosely connected topics. It also attempts to reflect the emergence of cognitive science, an interdisciplinary approach to the study of language and other cognitive processes. It describes not only psychological studies, but also ideas from linguistics, artificial intelligence, the philosophy of language and formal logic. There is no pretence that the discussion is exhaustive.
