Book Synopsis Dreams and atrocity by : Emily-Rose Baker
Download or read book Dreams and atrocity written by Emily-Rose Baker and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the relationship between oneiric and historical episodes of atrocity as depicted in transnational twentieth- and twenty-first-century art, film, literature and theatre. Examining the political and aesthetic power harnessed by dreams in increasingly ‘dark times’, it takes as its starting point the overlooked significance granted to the oneiric beyond Freudian psychoanalysis. By reading the oneiric within variously known cultural texts – including Holocaust fiction, world cinema, Bronx theatre, surrealist art and two collections of wartime dream transcriptions – the volume also offers a renewed perspective on modern and contemporary trauma. In so doing, it demonstrates the relevance of the oneiric, beyond the interpretative framework of psychoanalysis, as an aesthetic and political tool with which to alert us and respond to the violence of our contemporary world.

Book excerpt: It is a race against time in a nightmare world. A nightmare that began its journey over three and a half billion years ago and only now is its presence about to unfold, and it wants to move on. She was hoping to still his anxiety by concentrating on another aspect of their research. “I was reading about the state of order and disorder.” Clem looked surprised. “The world, the universe and all life are in a state of disorder.” She cuddled closer; she couldn’t get enough of the comfort his body gave when close to her. “Energy exists forever and the Dormancy is just that, energy, but it is an energy that disobeys the laws of physics – it’s continually in a state of order! Growing, forever growing, for billions of years it has been growing!” “You mean the pattern that has brought life to this point, is still generating to realms…” Clem thought for a moment. “Of what?” How do you battle that which you cannot see and whose ability you cannot measure? How long is a piece of string? The tale begins with a true ‘ghost’ story, which takes us where no ghost story has ever gone before.
Book Synopsis Forgiveness and Resentment in the Aftermath of Mass Atrocity by : Idit Alphandary
Download or read book Forgiveness and Resentment in the Aftermath of Mass Atrocity written by Idit Alphandary and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-12-04 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author's starting point is the interweaving of forgiveness and resentment in the works of Jewish writers after the Holocaust, most especially Hannah Arendt and Jean Améry, to make sense of the catastrophe and to point to a way forward for both victims and perpetrators. The insights of these two writers and of several Jewish novelists and poets, including Bruno Schulz, Paul Celan, and Aharon Appelfeld, are used to develop accounts of forgiveness and resentment in other cases of mass atrocity around the world. The author offers a critical rereading of primary sources that aim to separate resentment from nonviolent resistance, and forgiveness from reconciliation. Forgiveness and resentment are not, as they might first appear, mutually exclusive. Together with Arendt, Améry, and Walter Benjamin, it is argued that it is through the interaction between them that victims of mass atrocity become agents of personal and cultural change. Together, forgiveness and resentment interrupt the present, reframe the past, and shape the future. They can reduce the chasm that separates memory and trust by fashioning new connections between identity and alterity, which can open paths to truly ethical coexistence for victims and perpetrators, and their descendants.

Download or read book THE BOOK OF IMAGES written by Alias and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Images highlights dreaming as the major avenue of communication between supernatural beings and man. This book demonstrates that the supernatural realm controls the physical realm and yearns to reveal hidden secrets and connect with mortal man “Surely the Lord God does nothing without revealing His secret plan to His servants the prophets...Amos 3:7 AMP” From Larry Page the inventor of Google, to Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity to Elias Howe and the humble sewing machine, some of the world’s most celebrated inventions have come from eureka inspiration in mid-sleep. As the world counts down to an inevitable end, God is still in the business of revealing new inventions, unique ideas and great events that will shape the final days and help people around the world live longer, healthier and more-productive lives. The Book of Images can be likened to a dreamer’s dictionary where the author interprets the meaning of vast images, symbols, figures, names and events one might encounter while dreaming. This book is intended to help dreamers understand the significance of dreaming and explain simple dreaming terminology to unlock the basic universal meaning of dream languages that will help to unravel the significance of their dreams. Although there are no universally acceptable interpretations for all dreams due to socio-cultural differences, this book will assist any reader to develop a healthy attitude towards dreaming and understand the meaning of their dreams.
Book Synopsis Visions of the Irish Dream by : Marguerite Quintelli-Neary
Download or read book Visions of the Irish Dream written by Marguerite Quintelli-Neary and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-14 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visions of the Irish Dream assembles essays that examine the elusive dream of the Irish and Irish Americans, looking at aspirations of 19th-century emigrants to Canada and the United States, political and educational goals of the Irish, historic trauma, contemporary xenophobia, and artists’ renditions of “Irishness.” Whether the dreams are fulfilled or deferred, they all strive to come to terms with what it means to be Irish; sometimes the definition involves bringing a piece of the old country with you, buying facsimiles of “genuine Irish goods,” or redefining self in a way that frees Ireland of the colonial model. This study explores the conflicted and shifting visions of the people who inhabit or have left an isolated island that has moved from a search for independence to integration into a European union. From discussion of the politics of translation in Ferguson and Mangan to the establishment of the National schools, the movement of the Celts from continental Europe as evidenced in Joyce to the translatlantic flight of the Irish to the Americas in a drama by Nicola McCartney, and the re-invention of the feminine force in the writings of novelists Jennifer Johnston and Roddy Doyle to the feminine voice expressed in the work of poet Eiléan NíChuilleanáin, the collection underscores the significance of the dream in Irish history and the arts.

Book Synopsis Forgiveness and Power in the Age of Atrocity by : Shann Ray Ferch
Download or read book Forgiveness and Power in the Age of Atrocity written by Shann Ray Ferch and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a fresh rendering of the role of leaders as healers, Forgiveness and Power in the Age of Atrocity considers love and power in the midst of personal, political, and social upheaval. Unexpected atrocity coexists alongside the quiet subtleties of mercy, and people and nations currently encounter a world in which not even the certainties of existence remain even as grace can sometimes arise under the most difficult circumstances. Ultimately, Forgiveness and Power in the Age of Atrocity is a book about the alienation and intimacy at war within us all. Ferch speaks to categorical human transgressions in the hope that readers will be compelled to examine their own prejudices and engage the moral responsibility to evoke in their own personal life, work life, and larger national communities a more humane and life-giving coexistence. In addition to a primary focus on servant leadership, the book addresses three interwoven aspects of social responsibility: 1) the nature of personal responsibility 2) the nature of privilege and the conscious and unconscious violence against humanity often harbored in a blindly privileged stance, and 3) the encounter with forgiveness and forgiveness-asking grounded in a personal and collective obligation to the well-being of humanity. Modernist and postmodernist notions of the will to meaning are considered against the philosophical notion of the will to power. The book examines the everyday existence of human values in a time when we inhabit a world filled as much with unwarranted cruelty as with the disarming nature of authentic and life-affirming love. The book asks the question: Can ultimate forgiveness change the heart of violence? In Forgiveness and Power, people are challenged not only by the work of profound thought leaders such as Mandela, Tutu, but also Simone Weil, Vaclav Havel, Emerson, Mary Oliver, Martin Luther King, Paulo Freire, bell hooks, and Robert Greenleaf. The hope of the book is that people of all ages and creeds come to a deeper understanding and of personal and collective responsibility for leadership that helps heal the heart of the world.

Book Synopsis Dream Therapy for PTSD by : Bruce M. Dow MD
Download or read book Dream Therapy for PTSD written by Bruce M. Dow MD and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this series of clinical vignettes, a board-certified psychiatrist and life fellow of the American Psychiatric Association illustrates the effectiveness of dream therapy in treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be disabling and difficult to treat, often leading to depression, suicide, and homicide in extreme cases. In this clinical-based reference, acclaimed psychiatrist and neuroscience researcher, Bruce Dow, provides a step-by-step approach for implementing dream revision therapy—a treatment proven to eliminate nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety, and other debilitating effects of PTSD. Drawing from work with patients in both military and civilian settings, Dow shows how to utilize imagery rehearsal exercises to help mitigate the effects of the illness. The vast majority of the book's 11 chapters focus on clinical case studies of patients who have suffered under the effects of the disease—for example, a hotel employee who witnesses a gory suicide; a female police officer whose career-ending crash in her patrol car brings back traumatic memories from childhood; and Vietnam combat veterans with recurrent posttraumatic nightmares. Each vignette offers details of the dream revision method along with clinical tips for ensuring its success. The final chapter features descriptions of brain mechanisms of PTSD and dream revision.

Book Synopsis Law, Politics and the Limits of Prosecuting Mass Atrocity by : Damien Rogers
Download or read book Law, Politics and the Limits of Prosecuting Mass Atrocity written by Damien Rogers and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-30 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a unique and powerful critique of the quest for international criminal justice. It explores the efforts of three successive generations of international prosecutors, recognising the vital roles they play in the enforcement of international criminal law. By critically examining prosecutorial performance during the pre-trial and trial phases, the volume argues that these prosecutors are simultaneously political actors serving in the interests of economic liberalisation. It also posits that international prosecutors help wage a mostly silent and largely unacknowledged politico-cultural war fought for control over the institutions governing modernist international affairs. As the author contends, international prosecutors are thus best understood as agents not only of the law and politics, but also of a war fought by proponents of various utopian projects.
