Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second book of the story of Jane LaRoi continues with the escape of the dreaded Zank Xu. Since he could not gain power or control on the spiritual realm, he must find a way to do so in the physical world. Unexpected information from her parents and a real life competition between Jane's school and that of the descendant of Zank Xu shake Jane to the core. Her ancestral Family Council does its best to support her and confront their own moral dilemma while fighting to maintain the security and freedom of the entire ethereal (spiritual) realm. The real world location of this tale is Toledo, Ohio. Actual landmarks are instrumental in moving the action forward. The ethereal (spiritual) plane settings are as the characters either create them to be or accept them to be and therefore change and move as they choose. The story is a fun fantasy for all ages that depicts the emotional challenges, learning and growth of a family on two planes of existence.

Download or read book Performing Hysteria written by Johanna Braun and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We seem to be living in hysterical times. A simple Google search reveals the sheer bottomless well of “hysterical” discussions on diverse topics such as the #metoo movement, Trumpianism, border wars, Brexit, transgender liberation, Black Lives Matter, COVID-19, and climate change, to name only a few. Against the backdrop of such recent deployments of hysteria in popular discourse––particularly as they emerge in times of material and hermeneutic crisis––Performing Hysteria re-engages the notion of “hysteria”. Performing Hysteria rigorously mines late 20th- and early 21st-century (primarily visual) culture for signs of hysteria. The various essays in this volume contribute to the multilayered and complex discussions that surround and foster this resurgent interest in hysteria––covering such areas as art, literature, theatre, film, television, dance; crossing such disciplines as cultural studies, political science, philosophy, history, media, disability, race and ethnicity, and gender studies; and analysing stereotypical images and representations of the hysteric in relation to cultural sciences and media studies. Of particular importance is the volume's insistence on taking the intersection of hysteria and performance seriously.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Szasz's most ambitious work to date. In his best-selling book, The Myth of Mental Illness, he took psychiatry to task for misconstruing human conflict and coping as mental illness. In Our Right to Drugs, he exposed the irrationality and political opportunism that fuels the Drug War. In The Meaning of Mind, he warns that we misconstrue the dialogue within as a problem of consciousness and neuroscience, and do so at our own peril.

Download or read book Payback written by Thane Rosenbaum and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-04-10 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We call it justice—the assassination of Osama bin Laden, the incarceration of corrupt politicians or financiers like Rod Blagojevich and Bernard Madoff, and the climactic slaying of cinema-screen villains by superheroes. But could we not also call it revenge? We are told that revenge is uncivilized and immoral, an impulse that individuals and societies should actively repress and replace with the order and codes of courtroom justice. What, if anything, distinguishes punishment at the hands of the government from a victim’s individual desire for retribution? Are vengeance and justice really so very different? No, answers legal scholar and novelist Thane Rosenbaum in Payback: The Case for Revenge—revenge is, in fact, indistinguishable from justice. Revenge, Rosenbaum argues, is not the problem. It is, in fact, a perfectly healthy emotion. Instead, the problem is the inadequacy of lawful outlets through which to express it. He mounts a case for legal systems to punish the guilty commensurate with their crimes as part of a societal moral duty to satisfy the needs of victims to feel avenged. Indeed, the legal system would better serve the public if it gave victims the sense that vengeance was being done on their behalf. Drawing on a wide range of support, from recent studies in behavioral psychology and neuroeconomics, to stories of vengeance and justice denied, to revenge practices from around the world, to the way in which revenge tales have permeated popular culture—including Hamlet, The Godfather, and Braveheart—Rosenbaum demonstrates that vengeance needs to be more openly and honestly discussed and lawfully practiced. Fiercely argued and highly engaging, Payback is a provocative and eye-opening cultural tour of revenge and its rewards—from Shakespeare to The Sopranos. It liberates revenge from its social stigma and proves that vengeance is indeed ours, a perfectly human and acceptable response to moral injury. Rosenbaum deftly persuades us to reconsider a misunderstood subject and, along the way, reinvigorates the debate on the shape of justice in the modern world.

Book excerpt: "The Pursuit of Revenge" is a supernatural and psychological mystery loosely based on recorded historical events. It begins in the late 19th century with the drowning of a young girl, Claudine, on a pilgrimage to Lourdes in France, accused of witchcraft. There follows a series of unexplained illnesses that spread amongst young girls in numerous places throughout the world, often attributed to a psychological process - mass hysteria. In particular, sixty years later, a town in the USA is plagued by a series of attacks on young girls, in which a mystery gasser seemingly inflicts choking and paralysis on its victims but investigations fail to identify a toxin. Blame becomes focussed on a reclusive woman, a newcomer to the area, who is forced out of town. The attacks cease. However, epidemics of unexplained illnesses in young girls continue throughout the world. A chance finding by a journalist on a train of an emotionally charged goodbye letter from a girl to her boyfriend prompts him to reinvestigate a case he reported some months earlier of a girl, Charlotte, who inexplicably went missing from her London flat. He discovers that she came to London from a small country village in which many schoolgirls were afflicted with unexplained blackouts. The epidemic of symptoms was attributed by experts to mass hysteria. Charlotte suddenly left London and moved to York.The girl, whose real name was Jennie, had been haunted by recurrent visits from a malevolent woman who tried to claim her as her own. Jennie repeatedly moved home and changed identity in an attempt to escape. The woman's appearances become increasingly supernatural until ultimately she explains that she is the mother of the teenage French girl who died on her way to Lourdes and, since then, has been seeking her daughter's spirit and wreaking revenge on young, innocent girls. She threatens more carnage unless Jennie joins her in the spirit world. The journalist arrives at her flat in York to see the girl's dead body being removed and marks of the occult on her body and the window of her flat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Picking up where her #1 New York Times bestseller, Liars, Leakers, and Liberals left off, Judge Jeanine Pirro exposes the latest chapter in the unfolding liberal attack on our most basic values. Donald Trump's presidency has been under siege by the Left and their Deep State fellow travelers who concocted an outrageous case of conspiracy with Russia to keep him from doing what he was elected to do: secure America's borders, revive its economy, drain the Washington DC swamp, and restore our constitutional republic. Overturning presidential elections, nationalizing private industries like healthcare and education, destroying America's borders, erasing its national identity, and effectively silencing conservative voices in the cybersphere and public square are a few examples of the lengths to which the far-left progressives and socialists will go to destroy the America we love. Radicals, Resistance, and Revenge features Judge Jeanine's keen analysis of explosive information about the anti-Trump conspirators, their corrupt methods and possible crimes, and the Left's subversive plot against the foundation of American liberty. Judge Jeanine is sounding the alarm and calling out those who despise our most cherished ideals and institutions to warn patriotic Americans before it's too late.

Download or read book Dora written by Sigmund Freud and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1997-11 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An appealing and intelligent eighteen-year-old girl to whom Freud gives the pseudonym "Dora" is the subject of a case history that has all the intrigue and unexpected twists of a first-rate detective novel. Freud pursues the secrets of Dora's psyche by using as clues her nervous mannerisms, her own reports on the peculiarities of her family, and the content of her dreams. The personalities involved in Dora's disturbed emotional life were, in their own ways, as complex as she: an obsessive mother, an adulterous father, her father's mistress, Frau K., and Frau K.'s husband, who had made amorous advances toward Dora. Faced with the odd behavior of her family and friends, and unable to confront her own forbidden sexual desires, Dora falls into the destructive pattern of a powerful hysteria. in this influential and provocative case history, Freud uses all his analytic genius and literary skill to reveal Dora's inner life and explain the motives behind her fixation on her father's mistress. -- from back cover.

Download or read book Rape-Revenge Films written by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often considered the lowest depth to which cinema can plummet, the rape-revenge film is broadly dismissed as fundamentally exploitative and sensational, catering only to a demented, regressive demographic. This second edition, ten years after the first, continues the assessment of these films and the discourse they provoke. Included is a new chapter about women-directed rape-revenge films, a phenomenon that--revitalized since #MeToo exploded in late 2017--is a filmmaking tradition with a history that transcends a contemporary context. Featuring both famous and unknown movies, controversial and widely celebrated filmmakers, as well as rape-revenge cinema from around the world, this revised edition demonstrates that diverse and often contradictory treatments of sexual violence exist simultaneously.

Studies in Hysteria is one of the founding texts of psychoanalysis, revolutionizing our understanding of love, desire and the human psyche.
