La magia de escribir
by José Antonio MarinaLa gran creación de la inteligencia es expresar, decir, comunicarnos, escribir. Es el momento de la gran síntesis, de la puesta en limpio. La gran creación de la inteligencia es la capacidad de expresar, decir, comunicarnos, escribir. Es el momento de la gran síntesis, de la puesta en limpio. Lo que sentimos confusamente, lo que sabemos en términos generales, lo que nos ronda por la cabeza como una sospecha, un deseo o una premonición adquiere precisión y firmeza al enunciarse. Este es también un libro de magia, como La magia de leer. Trata de la transfiguración de la realidad. Lo que eran cosas, acontecimientos, pasiones, se transforma en palabras. ¿Puede haber magia más grande? En La magia de escribir nos acercamos a la inteligencia que crea mediante palabras y nos preguntamos: ¿Cómo podemos enseñar a escribir en la escuela, en la educación secundaria? ¿Cómo podemos los adultos aprender a escribir? Tambiénhemos entrado en el cuarto de trabajo de muchos escritores para descubrir sus secretos, los ocultos mecanismos de la creatividad. Hemos hecho de cronistas de lo maravilloso. Y, por último, hemos intentado hacer una pedagogía de la creación literaria. No se nos puede acusar de ser excesivamente humildes... José Antonio Marina y María de la Válgoma
The Magdalenes: Prostitution in the Nineteenth Century (Routledge Library Editions: Women's History)
by Linda MahoodThe nineteenth century witnessed a discursive explosion around the subject of sex. Historical evidence indicates that the sexual behaviour which had always been punishable began to be spoken of, regulated, and policed in new ways. Prostitutes were no longer dragged through the town, dunked in lakes, whipped and branded. Medieval forms of punishment shifted from the emphasis on punishing the body to punishing the mind. Building on the work of Foucault, Walkowitz, and Mort, Linda Mahood traces and examines new approached emerging throughout the nineteenth century towards prostitution and looks at the apparatus and institutions created for its regulation and control. In particular, throughout the century, the bourgeoisie contributed regularly to the discourse on the prostitution problem, the debate focusing on the sexual and vocational behaviour of working class women. The thrust of the discourse, however, was not just repression or control but the moral reform – through religious training, moral education, and training in domestic service – of working class women. With her emphasis on Scottish 'magdalene' homes and a case study of the system of police repression used in Glasgow, Linda Mahood has written the first book of its kind dealing with these issues in Scotland. At the same time the book sets nineteenth-century treatment of prostitutes in Scotland into the longer run of British attempts to control 'drabs and harlots', and contributes to the wider discussion of 'dangerous female sexuality' in a male-dominated society.

Madness and Morals: Ideas on Insanity in the Nineteenth Century (Routledge Revivals)
by Vieda SkultansFirst published in 1975, Madness and Morals presents the major preoccupations of nineteenth century society concerning insanity, its problems, and implications. In the introduction to the collection, Vieda Skultans traces developments and changes in the ideas about the insane and their treatment during the nineteenth century. She shows that two contrasting themes dominated writing on the subject: the relative weight to be attributed to physical and moral causes of insanity; and the emphasis on hereditary endowment or the ‘tyranny of organization’. The eighty years covered by this book produced a wide and varied literature on insanity, and the psychiatric texts reproduced, by English writers in the field are grouped under three sections: Outlines of Insanity; Psychiatric Romanticism; and Psychiatric Darwinism. These are written by physicians, administrators of the asylums and hospitals, editors of specialist publications, and others with wide experience in the field. These writings have a special relevance to the social history of the nineteenth century, for they demonstrate how psychiatric thinking reflects the contemporary moral outlook, forming a part of the total social fabric of society. This book will be useful for scholars and researchers of mental health, psychology, and psychiatry.
