The Contemporary Freudian Tradition Past and Present

The Contemporary Freudian Tradition Past and Present

This is the first book dedicated to the Contemporary Freudian Tradition. In its introduction and through its selection of papers it describes the development and rich diversity of this tradition over recent decades showing how theory and practice are inseparable in the psychoanalytic treatment of children adolescents and adults. The book is organized around four major concerns in the Contemporary Freudian Tradition: the nature of the Unconscious and the ways that it manifests itself; the extension of Freud’s theories of development through the work of Anna Freud and later theorists; the body and psychosexuality including the centrality of bodily experience as it is elaborated over time in the life of the individual; and aggression. It also illustrates how within the Tradition different exponents have been influenced by psychoanalytic thinking outside it whether from the Kleinian and Independent Groups or from French Freudian thinking. Throughout the book there is strong emphasis on the clinical setting in for example the value of the Tradition’s approach to the complex interrelationship of body and mind in promoting a deeper understanding of somatic symptoms and illnesses and working with them. There are four papers on the subject of dreams within the Contemporary Freudian Tradition illustrating the continuing importance accorded to dreams and dreaming in psychoanalytic treatment. This is the only book that describes in detail the family resemblances shared by those working psychoanalytically within the richly diverse Contemporary Freudian Tradition. It should appeal to anyone from student onwards who is interested in the living tradition of Freud’s work as understood by one of the three major groups within British psychoanalysis. | The Contemporary Freudian Tradition Past and Present

Dhrupad: Tradition and Performance in Indian Music

Dhrupad: Tradition and Performance in Indian Music

Dhrupad is believed to be the oldest style of classical vocal music performed today in North India. This detailed study of the genre considers the relationship between the oral tradition its transmission from generation to generation and its re-creation in performance. There is an overview of the historical development of the dhrupad tradition and its performance style from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries and of the musical lineages that carried it forward into the twentieth century followed by analyses of performance techniques processes and styles. The authors examine the relationship between the structures provided by tradition and their realization by the performer to throw light on the nature of tradition and creativity in Indian music; and the book ends with an account of the ‘revival’ movement of the late twentieth century that re-established the genre in new contexts. Augmented with an analytical transcription of a complete dhrupad performance this is the first book-length study of an Indian vocal genre to be co-authored by an Indian practitioner and a Western musicologist. | Dhrupad: Tradition and Performance in Indian Music

Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy A Constructive-Engagement Account

Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy A Constructive-Engagement Account

This book presents a systematic unifying-pluralist account—a constructive-engagement account—of how cross-tradition engagement in philosophy is possible. The goal of this constructive-engagement account is by way of reflective criticism argumentation and methodological guiding principles to inquire into how distinct approaches from different philosophical traditions can talk to and learn from each other for the sake of making joint contributions to the contemporary development of philosophy. In Part I of the book Bo Mou explores a range of fundamental theoretic and methodological issues in cross-tradition philosophical engagement and philosophical interpretation. In Part II he analyzes several representative case studies that demonstrate how relevant resources in the Western and Chinese philosophical traditions can constructively engage with each other. These studies cover issues in philosophical methodology metaphysics epistemology philosophy of language and logic and ethics. The book’s theoretical and practical approaches expand the vision coverage and agenda of doing philosophy comparatively and promote worldwide joint efforts of cross-tradition philosophical inquiries. Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy will be of interest to graduate students and scholars interested in comparative philosophy and the intersection of Chinese and Western philosophy. It will also appeal to those who are interested in the ways in which cross-tradition philosophical engagement can enhance contemporary philosophical debates in metaphysics epistemology philosophy of language and logic and ethics. | Cross-Tradition Engagement in Philosophy A Constructive-Engagement Account

The History and Tradition of Accounting in Italy

The History and Tradition of Accounting in Italy

Italian accounting has a long and honourable tradition of theoretical and applied analysis of the accounting and reporting function perceived and defined much more broadly than in the Anglo-Saxon tradition. The high point of this perhaps is the creation of what is known as Economia Aziendale (EA). The antecedents genesis and later developments are presented here in detail by highly knowledgeable specialists in the field. EA takes as a prerequisite the necessity of the business (entity/azienda) to ensure its own long-run survival. This requires that the necessary resources are retained and preserved so operating capital maintenance by definition future-oriented is essential. It requires a focus on the particular business organization entity-specific and consistent with today's notion of the business model. Entity-specific information relevant to current and future cash flows is a necessary pre-requisite for ensuring long-run survival which historical cost accounting or fair value (being market-specific not entity-specific) satisfactorily achieve. Flexibility of valuation and of reporting always relevant to the specific asset at the specific time in the specific place is a necessary condition for effective management. This is exactly the focus of EA and its analysis and tradition. Scholars and advanced students of international regulation and accounting as well as accounting history will find this an invaluable guide to a vibrant scholarly tradition of great practical relevance today. | The History and Tradition of Accounting in Italy

Mysticism in the French Tradition Eruptions from France

Mysticism in the French Tradition Eruptions from France

In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries secular French scholars started re-engaging with religious ideas particularly mystical ones. Mysticism in the French Tradition introduces key philosophical undercurrents and trajectories in French thought that underpin and arise from this engagement as well as considering earlier French contributions to the development of mysticism. Filling a gap in the literature the book offers critical reflections on French scholarship in terms of its engagement with its mystical and apophatic dimensions. A multiplicity of factors converge to shape these encounters with mystical theology: feminist devotional and philosophical treatments as well as literary historical and artistic approaches. The essays draw these into conversation. Bringing together an international and interdisciplinary range of contributions from both new and established scholars this book provides access to the melting pot out of which the mystical tradition in France erupted in the twenty-first century and from which it continues to challenge theology today. | Mysticism in the French Tradition Eruptions from France

Chinese Demon Tales Meanings and Parallels in Oral Tradition

Chinese Demon Tales Meanings and Parallels in Oral Tradition

This book first published in 1990 is a thematic analysis of five tales of early vernacular Chinese literature. Interest in vernacular stories is increasing in the study of Chinese literature as their importance is being recognised as a key part of the oral traditional narrative. From the analysis of the five Chinese tales in light of literary historical philological sources and folkloristic methodologies we may see to what extent tales of an intrinsically religious nature can offer meanings in the oral tradition. | Chinese Demon Tales Meanings and Parallels in Oral Tradition

Writing for the Masses Dorothy L. Sayers and the Victorian Literary Tradition

Writing for the Masses Dorothy L. Sayers and the Victorian Literary Tradition

In Writing for the Masses: Dorothy L. Sayers and the Victorian Literary Tradition Dr. Christine A. Colón explores how Sayers carefully negotiates the complexities of early twentieth century literary culture by embracing a specifically Victorian literary tradition of writing to engage a wide audience. Using a variety of examples from Sayers’s detective fiction essays and religious drama Dr. Colón charts Sayers’s development as a writer whose intense desire to connect with her audience eventually compels her to embrace the role of a Victorian sage for her own age. Ultimately the Victorian literary tradition not only provides her with an empowering model for her own work as she struggles as a writer of detective fiction to balance her integrity as an artist with her desire to reach a mass audience but also facilitates her growth as a public intellectual as she strives to help her nation recover from the devastation of World War II. | Writing for the Masses Dorothy L.
