Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there have been many attempts to apply the ideas of psychoanalysis to political thought, this book is the first to identify the political project inherent in the fundamental tenets of psychoanalysis. And this political project, Todd McGowan contends, provides an avenue for emancipatory politics after the failure of Marxism in the twentieth century. Where others seeking the political import of psychoanalysis have looked to Freud's early work on sexuality, McGowan focuses on Freud's discovery of the death drive and Jacques Lacan's elaboration of this concept. He argues that the self-destruction occurring as a result of the death drive is the foundational act of emancipation around which we should construct our political philosophy. Psychoanalysis offers the possibility for thinking about emancipation not as an act of overcoming loss but as the embrace of loss. It is only through the embrace of loss, McGowan suggests, that we find the path to enjoyment, and enjoyment is the determinative factor in all political struggles--and only in a political project that embraces the centrality of loss will we find a viable alternative to global capitalism.

This book was released on 1994-09-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. In this deliciously twisting, engaging, multi- genre narrative, Robert Farrar Capon explores three areas of life that concern us all — health, money, and love — pokes fun of the religions we make of them, and trumpets the radical gospel of grace, the only alternative that can free us to be truly happy. Using a variety of styles — movie script, dialogue, parable, letter, and, of course, his typically sparkling prose — Capon discusses religion and happiness in the light of "holy luck," the notion that God uses chance as his normal device for running the world and establishing his relationship with us. He argues that in espousing false religions such as health, money, and love in our pursuit of happiness, we reject God's holy luck for the illusion of our own control. "Happiness," he asserts, "lies in our ability to accept everything that happens and then either enjoy it gratefully or reconcile it patiently. We may not be able to control all of the things that happen outside us, but since we are in control of both our gratitude and our patience, there is always and in every circumstance a path open to the happiness that God already has over everything." Capon proceeds to explore and interweave the topics of childhood, romance, work, play, exercise and eating habits, aging, and death within his twin themes of religion and happiness. Blending his own experiences with ideas from a wide range of authorities, including Augustine, Dame Julian of Norwich, Meister Eckhart, Chesterton, and Charles Williams, he challenges us to rethink our conception of God, our values, and our entire lives. Full of provocative insights, Health, Money, and Love will surely attract, stir, and delight a wide readership.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are lots of books published every year, with all kinds of theories, but not so many expressing the concept of abstract love. I would define this a reflection of our thoughts into the real life. We call it abstract, cause have nothing to do with the normal dogmatic way of seeing the love stories. Real love, that perfect scenario with the perfect partner, can be seen at any age, depending of the luck our karma allows us to have. But we want it so much, that the Universe allows us this meeting, with only one obstacle which in many cases makes the love story imposible. Thinking in a positive way, we redefine the imposible story as an abstract one. Being a reflection of our dreams, the story itself is a perfect one, except the fact that you cannot enjoy the story into the real word, creating the image of an illusion. Imposible love stories are present all over the world. After posting a long time in social media, i received messages from people from all the continents telling me about them. The word “love” being present near the word “imposible”, creates this strange, illusory and abstract way of seeing the magic of love. The book is a collection of essays, my thoughts about the interconnection between the illusion and reality. I used a lot the term illusion, cause we all look for perfect scenarios, especially when it comes to love, but the truth is that perfection is far, far away of reality. We can interconnect illusions with the real world ... just through imposible love stories. In the end, the book is a personal development writing, that allows us to understand the magic of love but also a method that teaches how to enjoy life even if we dislike the word “imposible”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing awareness of the importance of English as a global link language and the widespread use of the Internet and the globalization of business and education, the need for learning English effectively is being felt more than ever before. This international awakening has spurred nations like China and Russia that kept away from English in the past to educate their populations in the English language. In India too, there is a renewed interest in learning English for communication. This book takes the most pragmatic and current approach to the teaching and learning of English which offers learners ready-to-use expressions in their day-to-day communication. The book offers conversations in various social contexts, in formal and informal situations, and lists in an exhaustive way all the expressions used within the particular communicative function. In addition, there are exercises at the end of each unit which provide the learners an opportunity to go through the actual use of those expressions, thereby enhancing their confidence to use English. Designed primarily as a text in communicative or functional English, this book should also be useful to all those who wish to improve their English for socially appropriate communication. KEY FEATURES • Provides learners with ready-to-use and socially appropriate expressions through conversations. • Presents a full range of expressions for choice within the language functions such as requests, suggestions, asking and giving opinions, asking and giving advice, and agreeing and disagreeing. • Offers practice opportunity through exercises at the end of each unit. • Brings communication in English within the reach of all learners through steps like read-practice-develop-use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Truth be told we want an over night change in our lifes. There are many moments when the actual reality is very difficult to handle and looks like we have no escape at all. We dream of a quatum jump, even if we dont understand the concept very well. In few words, the reality sucks and we dream of a life that we will never have, because deep inside us, we dont really believe we will ever meet this reality. We have a fake attitude that we are looking for change, but this attitude is just a mask for our fears... as them not to be seen. So we wonder today if there is a way of how our lifes can be changed in what we think that should be better for us. Does it exists a system that we could follow and achieve our dream life?! But it must be a simple way ... otherwise we know that we will not follow the path. Everything is happening is related to us, and everything could happen is also related to us. The magic answear, because we are looking only for magic answears, is the art of defining life. Yes ... this is an art. We need to start be honest with ourself, and all the answears to simple questions as “why am i fat?! ... because i eat to much” , “why my partner is cheating on me?! ... because i did not knew to be that perfect partner that i had to be” and the list of questions will go on. We need to start defining what we dont like. Once we undestand that the change is in our powers and if we really want a change, we will start the process of achieving the new life we dream at. We dont need to go to a therapist, we dont need to study motivational issues of social media and dont even need to read hundreds or thousands of books to start the change process. The art of defining our lifes, means that we have the courage to understand what we dont like and define very clear how our reality should look like. The depression, or what we call depression, because many things are unclear in our minds, is this huge gap between where we are now and where we want to be. We are looking for a magic bridge that should help us go very easilly from one point to the other. The process itself is a very simple one, as long as we decide to be honest to us. The art of defining ... yes ... is an art. And also to live ... is an art. Once we decide that we are brave enough to live our lifes... the dream life... the magic will happen, cause all the magic is our powers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We Are Having This Conversation Now offers a history, present, and future of AIDS through thirteen short conversations between Alexandra Juhasz and Theodore Kerr, scholars deeply embedded in HIV responses. They establish multiple timelines of the epidemic, offering six foundational periodizations of AIDS culture, tracing how attention to the crisis has waxed and waned from the 1980s to the present. They begin the book with a 1990 educational video produced by a Black health collective, using it to consider organizing intersectionally, theories of videotape, empowerment movements, and memorialization. This video is one of many powerful yet overlooked objects that the pair focus on through conversation to understand HIV across time. Along the way, they share their own artwork, activism, and stories of the epidemic. Their conversations illuminate the vital role personal experience, community, cultural production, and connection play in the creation of AIDS-related knowledge, archives, and social change. Throughout, Juhasz and Kerr invite readers to reflect and find ways to engage in their own AIDS-related culture and conversation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite creating vast inequalities and propping up reactionary world regimes, capitalism has many passionate defenders—but not because of what it withholds from some and gives to others. Capitalism dominates, Todd McGowan argues, because it mimics the structure of our desire while hiding the trauma that the system inflicts upon it. People from all backgrounds enjoy what capitalism provides, but at the same time are told more and better is yet to come. Capitalism traps us through an incomplete satisfaction that compels us after the new, the better, and the more. Capitalism's parasitic relationship to our desires gives it the illusion of corresponding to our natural impulses, which is how capitalism's defenders characterize it. By understanding this psychic strategy, McGowan hopes to divest us of our addiction to capitalist enrichment and help us rediscover enjoyment as we actually experienced it. By locating it in the present, McGowan frees us from our attachment to a better future and the belief that capitalism is an essential outgrowth of human nature. From this perspective, our economic, social, and political worlds open up to real political change. Eloquent and enlivened by examples from film, television, consumer culture, and everyday life, Capitalism and Desire brings a new, psychoanalytically grounded approach to political and social theory.
