Living Martyrs in Late Antiquity and Beyond Surviving Martyrdom

Living Martyrs in Late Antiquity and Beyond Surviving Martyrdom

This book demonstrates that living martyrdom was an important spiritual aspiration in the late antique Latin west and argues that consequently attempts to define study or locate martyrdom must move away from conceptualizations that require or center on death. After an introduction that traces the persistence of living martyrs as real objects of spiritual devotion and emulation across the span of Christian history and discusses why such martyrs have been overlooked the book focuses on three significant authors from the late ancient Latin west for whom martyrdom did not require death: the Spanish poet Prudentius (c. 348–413) the senator-turned-ascetic Paulinus of Nola (353–431) and the influential North African bishop Augustine of Hippo (354–430). Through historically and literarily contextualized close readings of their work this book shows that each of these three authors attempted to create a new paradigm of martyrdom focused on living rather than dying for God. By focusing on these living martyrs we are able to see more clearly the aspirations and agendas of those who promoted them as martyrs and how their martyrological discourse illuminates the variety of ways that martyrdom is and can be mobilized (in any era) to construct new community-creating worldviews. Living Martyrs in Late Antiquity and Beyond is an important resource for historians of Christianity scholars of religious studies and anyone interested in exploring or understanding martyrological discourse.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Transactional Analysis Theory and Narration of a Living Experience

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Transactional Analysis Theory and Narration of a Living Experience

The main values and principles of Transactional Analysis in its original psychodynamic matrix become a concrete experience in this book thanks to the accurate description of the daily practice of a long-experienced therapist: Anna Emanuela Tangolo. Analyzing several cases the author examines the clinical tools of Berne's group therapy and the analysis of dreams without however neglecting other important aspects such as preparing the setting or leading an interview. Particular relevance is given to the therapeutic relationship seen as the interweaving of an experience in order to send stimuli to the patient so as to re-structure his or her intrapsychic world through rigorous and precise inputs analysable in linguistic sequences. This book is meant not only for those who study psychotherapy but also for anyone who wants to learn about clinical TA and its functioning. | Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with Transactional Analysis Theory and Narration of a Living Experience

Exile as a Continuum in Joseph Conrad’s Fiction Living in Translation

Exile as a Continuum in Joseph Conrad’s Fiction Living in Translation

Joseph Conrad is famous for being an unusual strange and even eccentric English writer. However despite his difference English criticism has primarily interpreted his fiction from the perspective of the English culture. In turn Polish criticism has portrayed Conrad as a Pole who happened to write in English. Considering Conrad’s transcultural background neither exclusively English nor an exclusively Polish writer this volume investigates the essential features of his expatriate writing as a form distinctly different from any writing done within a single culture. Conrad's unique contribution to English literature and sensibility stems from his ability to incorporate the complexity of the exilic condition without discussing it explicitly. Furthermore this book establishes Conrad's expatriation archetypes and examines them as they manifest themselves not only in a realistic but more importantly in a symbolic mode. Those archetypal features demonstrate themselves through Conrad’s thematic choices narrative structure and critical discourse that reflect his complex relationship with both the parent and the adopted reader. While the existence of these patterns in Conrad's fiction are not entirely obvious this book aims to illuminate Conrad’s contributions to the current critical debate concerning the place of the author in his/her own narrative. | Exile as a Continuum in Joseph Conrad’s Fiction Living in Translation

Nurturing Alternative Futures Living with Diversity in a More-than-Human World

Nurturing Alternative Futures Living with Diversity in a More-than-Human World

Developing upon emerging environmental humanities and multispecies anthropological theories this book provides a fresh perspective on how we might rethink more-than-human relationality and why it is important to nurture alternative futures. The diverse chapters examine the life trajectories of people animals plants and microbes their lived experiences and constituted relationality offering new ways to reinterpret and reimagine a multi-species future in the current era of planetary crisis. The ethnographic case studies from around the world feature a combination of biological and cultural diversity with analyses that prioritize local and Indigenous modes of thinking. While engaging with Mongolian herders Indigenous Yucatec Mayan Congolese farmers rural Pakistani donkey keepers Australian heritage breed farmers Croatian cheesemakers Japanese oyster aquafarmers Texan corn growers Californian cannabis producers or Hindu devotees to the Ganges River the chapters offer a grounded anthropological understanding of imagining a future in relationality with other beings. The stories lived experiences and mutual worlding that this volume presents offer a portrayal of alternative forms of multispecies coexistence rather than an anthropocentric future. | Nurturing Alternative Futures Living with Diversity in a More-than-Human World

Behavioral Primatology Advances in Research and Theory Volume 1

Behavioral Primatology Advances in Research and Theory Volume 1

First published in 1977. The volume of research on nonhuman primates has expanded tremendously during the past 20 years and researchers' familiarity with them has increased correspondingly. This series of volumes deals with scientific studies of the behavior of nonhuman primates-apes monkeys and prosimians. The behavior of these animals is of course of interest in its own right. But then so is that of the many other orders of animals. Behavior of nonhuman primates is of special interest because these animals are more closely related to human beings structurally physiologically and beyond doubt behaviorally than are any other living animals. | Behavioral Primatology Advances in Research and Theory Volume 1
