The Secret Army The IRA

The Secret Army The IRA

The Secret Army is the definitive work on the Irish Republican Army. It is an absorbing account of a movement that has had a profound effect on the shaping of the modern Irish state. The secret army in the service of the invisible Republic has had a powerful effect on Irish events over the past twenty-five years. These hidden corridors of power interest Bell and inspired him to spend more time with the IRA than many volunteers spend in it. This book is the culmination of twenty-five years of work and tens of thousands of hours of interviews. Bell's unique access to the leadership of the republican movement and his contacts with all involved British politicians Irish politicians policemen arms smugglers and others committed or opposed to the IRA explain why The Secret Army is the book on the subject. This edition represents a complete revision and includes vast quantities of new information. Bell's book gives us vital insight into our times as well as Irish history. This edition of The Secret Army contains six new chapters that bring the history of this clandestine organization up to date. They are: The First Decade The Nature of the Long War 1979-1980; Unconventional Conflict The Hunger Strikes January 1980-October 3 1981; The Protracted Struggle September 1981-January 1984; War Politics and the Split January 1984-December 1986; The Troubles as Institution 1987-1990: and The Armed Struggle Transformed 1991-1996 The End Game. In his new introduction Bell reflects on his decades of research the experiences he has had and the people he has met during his extensive visits to Ireland. | The Secret Army The IRA

Notes for a Decolonial Political Theology

Notes for a Decolonial Political Theology

At the crossroads of ethics poetics and politics this innovative book outlines a series of notes to decolonize political theology. The author proposes counter-hegemonic forms of reading which deconstruct domination by embracing fragility. The book opens with a diapason of prejudicelessness as a decolonial key focusing on prejudices that hinder critical attention to a colonial political theology that perpetuates hatred. The first set of notes aims to ‘de-orientalize the Semite’ by reading midrashic and biblical texts in the present context the second seeks to decolonize language by exploring the power of translation and the third ponders decolonial theo-logics to outline a justice of the other. Connecting a number of fields authors and epistemologies the book addresses the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and brings together Jewish thought continental philosophy and Latin American perspectives. It engages with a range of thinkers including Benjamin and Arendt and features an interview with Enrique Dussel. This is an important methodological proposal for interdisciplinary and intercultural political theology and a valuable contribution towards rethinking the paradigm of political theology beyond its Eurocentric and colonialist premises. | Notes for a Decolonial Political Theology

Notes from the Margins The Gay Analyst's Subjectivity in the Treatment Setting

Notes from the Margins The Gay Analyst's Subjectivity in the Treatment Setting

Much has been written about the impact of gender and sexual orientation on the intersubjective field. Yet remarkably little has been written about the unique dilemmas faced by gay clinicians who treat patients of different genders and sexual orientations. Given the particularities of growing up gay in our culture issues of secrecy shame alienation difference and internalized homophobia necessarily enter into any gay therapist's developmental history. These factors have a shaping impact on the gay analyst's sensibility on the way he learns to listen to his patients. In Notes from the Margins Eric Sherman courageously reveals a wide range of subjective reactions to eight different patients. In detailed clinical vignettes that highlight his thoughts feelings personal history and countertransference struggles he conveys the experiential immediacy of working as an analyst-and more specifically as a gay analyst. Although Sherman is not the first author to write thoughtfully about working in the countertransference he is among the very few to portray analytic work particularly in the working through of enactments as an often untidy affair marked not only by success but also by the blind spots and insecurities that contribute to failure. Notes from the Margins is not only an illuminating overview of the special challenges faced by gay and lesbian analysts but a window to grasping the messy realities intrinsic to the psychotherapeutic process. | Notes from the Margins The Gay Analyst's Subjectivity in the Treatment Setting

Religion and its Evolution Signals Norms and Secret Histories

Religion and its Evolution Signals Norms and Secret Histories

This book examines why individuals and communities invest heavily in their religious life through multi-disciplinary perspectives. It pursues philosophical psychological deep time historical and adaptive answers to this question. Religion is a profoundly puzzling phenomenon from an evolutionary perspective. Commitment to religions are typically expensive and most of the beliefs that motivate them cannot be true (since religious belief systems are inconsistent with one another). Yet some form of religion seems to be universal and resilient in historically known cultures – though not if archaeology is to be trusted in human communities early in the evolution of our species. We have collectively invented religion over about the last 100 000 years. Stemming from an interdisciplinary workshop this book grapples with these challenges and features diverse contributions: some offer evolutionary and historical analyses identifying hidden adaptive benefits to religion independent of the veracity of religious belief. Others see connections between religious commitment and commitment to the social norms that make cooperative life possible and explore aspects of human psychology that make religious belief tempting. Broad in scope and theoretically ambitious Religion and Its Evolution: Signals Norms and Secret Histories will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of religious studies sciences of religion psychology anthropology the cultural evolution of religion and the sociology of religion. This book was originally published as a special issue of Religion Brain & Behavior. | Religion and its Evolution Signals Norms and Secret Histories

Life and the Student Roadside Notes on Human Nature Society and Letters

Life and the Student Roadside Notes on Human Nature Society and Letters

Life and the Student (1927) with a new introduction by Jonathan B. Imber is a compilation of reflections commentaries and letters from other scholars that Charles Horton Cooley accumulated throughout his life. The book includes personal passages on various topics within the realms of reading and writing thinking art science sociology academia religion and human nature. There is no formal structure to the book except the literary sense that organizes these thoughts and observations about life. It is impossible to categorize these widely ranging commentaries. They include discussions of the automobile the impressionable nature of young people the claim that the question of racial superiority is still unresolved his belief that eugenists are inconsistent in their views and more. Cooley's work sought to emphasize the connection between society and the individual. He believed that the two could only be understood in relationship to each other. While researching the effects of social responses and social participation he created the concept of the looking-glass self which is the theory that a person's sense of self grows out of interpersonal interactions and the perceptions of others. Cooley also showed that social life and the relationship between groups and communities stems from mental phenomena. | Life and the Student Roadside Notes on Human Nature Society and Letters

A Dictionary of Theatre Anthropology The Secret Art of the Performer

A Dictionary of Theatre Anthropology The Secret Art of the Performer

First Published in 2005. A Dictionary of Theatre Anthropology subtly juxtaposes visual demonstrations of the performer’s craft from a wealth of Eastern and Western sources. More than just a dictionary this is a handbook for theatre practitioners and a guide for students and scholars of transcultural performance. It is the result of many years of research conducted by Eugenio Barba and the International School of Theatre Anthropology (ISTA) based in Denmark and is now a classic foundational text. Whereas most Western research is concerned with naturalism and psychological realism in acting the Dictionary focuses on the actor’s arduous and eclectic craft. The Dictionary aims to expand our knowledge of the possibilities of the scenic body and of the spectator’s response to the dynamics of performance. The Dictionary has practical sections on balance opposition and montage among other techniques and discusses issues including The Text and the Stage The Dilated Body and Energetic Language. This revised edition includes: three new chapters on Eurasian Theatre Exercises and Organicity; 50 new photographs showing the performer’s craft in black and white and colour; and for the first time a useful bibliography and index. | A Dictionary of Theatre Anthropology The Secret Art of the Performer

A Darkening Green Notes on Harvard the 1950s and the End of Innocence

A Darkening Green Notes on Harvard the 1950s and the End of Innocence

This is a book about the end of childhood. Much of it is drawn directly from a diary the author kept while he was a bright but insecure freshman at Harvard in the 1950s. From these pages emerges a precise description of the raw half-understood experience of late adolescence-the anguish and arguments the rivalry and anxiety about sex the facile cynicism and desperate fumblings for purpose the bull sessions held late at night-just as Peter Prescott recorded them only hours after the event. These diary excerpts are contained in a narrative that examines that freshman experience from a vantage point of twenty years. Thus we are able to look at the past with a double perspective: The exact record unclouded by memory or nostalgia of what was said and done is set in a structure that reveals the form of the experience. The result is an ironic witty and often moving book. Writing with some compassion and even more asperity Peter S. Prescott not only captures the conflicts and emotions of a single year but probes beneath the surface of memory to explore certain tribal customs and rites of passage as they are played out in the classrooms and living quarters of the college. A few famous people-T. S. Eliot and Edith Sitwell among them-play brief parts in this chronicle but young Prescott's attention was primarily engaged in his struggle with his extravagant roommates and an assortment of eccentric undergraduates. | A Darkening Green Notes on Harvard the 1950s and the End of Innocence

Lectures On Quantum Mechanics

Lectures On Quantum Mechanics

These lecture notes comprise a three-semester graduate course in quantum mechanics at the University of Illinois. There are a number of texts which present the basic topics very well; but since a fair quantity of the material discussed in my course was not available to the students in elementary quantum mechanics books I was asked to prepare written notes. In retrospect these lecture notes seemed sufficiently interesting to warrant their publication in this format. The notes presented here in slightly revised form consitutute a self-contained course in quantum mechanics from first principles to elementary and relativistic one-particle mechanics. Prerequisite to reading these notes is some familiarity with elementary quantum mechanics at least at the undergraduate level. Preferably the reader should already have met the uncertainty principle and the concept of a wave function. Prerequisites also include sufficient acquaintance with complex cariables to be able to do simple contour integrals and to understand words such as poles and branch cuts. An elementary knowledge of Fourier transforms and series is necessary. I also assume an awareness of classical electrodynamics. | Lectures On Quantum Mechanics
