Conversations on Empathy Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Imagination and Radical Othering

Conversations on Empathy Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Imagination and Radical Othering

In the aftermath of a global pandemic amidst new and ongoing wars genocide inequality and staggering ecological collapse some in the public and political arena have argued that we are in desperate need of greater empathy — be this with our neighbours refugees war victims the vulnerable or disappearing animal and plant species. This interdisciplinary volume asks the crucial questions: How does a better understanding of empathy contribute if at all to our understanding of others? How is it implicated in the ways we perceive understand and constitute others as subjects? Conversations on Empathy examines how empathy might be enacted and experienced either as a way to highlight forms of otherness or instead to overcome what might otherwise appear to be irreducible differences. It explores the ways in which empathy enables us to understand imagine and create sameness and otherness in our everyday intersubjective encounters focusing on a varied range of radical others – others who are perceived as being dramatically different from oneself. With a focus on the importance of empathy to understand difference the book contends that the role of empathy is critical now more than ever for thinking about local and global challenges of interconnectedness care and justice. | Conversations on Empathy Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Imagination and Radical Othering

On Dreams

On Dreams

Originally published in 1935 William Archer’s interest in dreams had persisted for over quarter of a century for ten years of which he kept a careful record of his own dreams. These records alone form a valuable collection of material of which Archer made good use in the writing of the book on dreams on which he was engaged at the time of his death; large parts of these dream-records are reproduced in this book. He left this book partly finished partly in draft and partly in the form of notes. In putting together this material the editor Theodore Besterman tries to carry out Archer’s intentions as closely as possible and believed that he represented the book as he would have wished it to appear. It was unquestionably an important contribution to a difficult subject at the time the result of many years’ study and reflection.

On Understanding Emotion

On Understanding Emotion

Emotions-fleeting insubstantial changeable and ambiguous-seem to defy study and analysis. Nothing is more complex mysterious and subject to conflicting theories and interpretations than human emotion. Yet the central importance of emotion in human affairs is undeniable. Emotions affect all levels of life-personal organizational political cultural economic and religious. Emotions give meaning to life. Emotional disturbances can destroy that meaning. How should emotions be studied? How can an understanding of the inner feelings of individuals illuminate important social interactions and human developments? In his book Norman Denzin presents a systematic in-depth analysis of emotion that combines new theoretical advances with practical applications. Based on an intensive critical examination of classical and modern theoretical research-and on revealing personal interviews in which ordinary people express their emotional lives-he builds a new framework for understanding ordinary emotions and emotional disturbances. Denzin analyzes how people experience joy and pain love and hate anger and despair friendship and alienation-and examines the personal psychological social and cultural aspects of human emotion to provide new perspectives for understanding human experience and social interactions. He offers new insights on the role of emotions in family violence and recommends ways of helping people escape from recurring patterns of violence. And in criticizing current conceptions of emotionally disturbed people he reveals the nature of their inner lives and the ways they perceive and relate to others. In sum this book presents new insights on human relationships and human experience. It is now available in paperback for the first time with a new introduction by the author. | On Understanding Emotion

On Education

On Education

Jane Addams the founder of Hull House in Chicago may be best known as a social activist. She was also a brilliantly critical intellectual. Implicit in her many speeches articles and books is a view of education as a broad process of cultural transformation and renewal a view that remains as compelling today as when it was first presented. Addams sees education as the foundation of democracy the basis for the free expression of ideas. Addams's writings on education are interpreted in an enlightening bio-graphical introduction by Ellen Lagemann. After the initial publication of this work Barbara L. Jacquette of the Delta Group Inc. in Phoenix wrote Professor Lagemann has brought life and immediacy to Jane Addams's work. Better she has given us a context that shows us that some of our most pressing issues today are simply old problems in new guises problems for which some of the old solutions may still be of use. Gerald Lee Gutek of Loyola University of Chicago commented Lagemann's insightful and sensitive biography reveals Addams's transformation from a reserved graduate of a small women's college into the Progressive reformer and pioneer of the settlement house movement. The essays collected here span a significant portion of Jane Addams's life from the time she spent in college to her founding of Hull House and beyond. Addams's constant interest in education is reflected in her writings. This book also reveals the many influences on Addams's life including the philosopher and educator John Dewey. On Education is an important work for educators women's studies specialists social workers and historians.

Structural Genomics on Membrane Proteins

Structural Genomics on Membrane Proteins

While the genomic revolution has quickly led to the deposit of more than 30 000 structures in the protein data bank (PDB) less than one percent of those contributions represent membrane proteins despite the fact that membrane proteins constitute some 20 percent of all proteins. This discrepancy becomes significantly troublesome when it is coupled with the fact that 60 percent of current drugs are based on targeting this group of proteins a trend that does not seem likely to reverse. Structural Genomics on Membrane Proteins provides an excellent overview on novel research in bioinformatics and modeling on membranes as well as the latest technological developments being employed in expression purification and crystallography to obtain high-resolution structures on membrane proteins. This cutting-edge work also explains the difficulties facing researchers—both technical and ethical—that have slowed the process. Structural Genomics on Membrane Proteins provides researchers with an unprecedented look at the novel technologies that will ultimately allow them to conquer the last frontier in structural biology leading to accelerated breakthroughs in drug discovery.
