Book Synopsis La vita segreta della mente by : Mariano Sigman
Download or read book La vita segreta della mente written by Mariano Sigman and published by Utet. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Da dove vengono i nostri pensieri? In che modo prendiamo le decisioni e come formuliamo i giudizi nella vita di tutti i giorni? Che ruolo ha l'inconscio, in questo? C'è una reale distinzione tra le scelte istintive e quelle ponderate? In che cosa differisce il ragionamento di un bambino da quello di un adulto? Quali sono i confini di ciò che definiamo "identità"? E di che cosa è fatta davvero quella che il nostro cervello processa come "realtà esterna"? Che cosa la distingue dalla sostanza dei sogni? In vent'anni di studio ed esperimenti sul campo, Mariano Sigman è rimasto legato alla semplice idea che la ricerca scientifica si nutra di quello stesso sincero stupore dei bambini, che chiedono Perché? all'infinito. È questa la curiosità che anima questo libro, una ricognizione libera sulle conquiste presenti e le prospettive future delle neuroscienze, senza limitazioni di campo e disciplina: in queste pagine si incontrano psicologi, biologi, fisici, matematici, antropologi, linguisti, ingegneri, filosofi, medici. E anche cuochi, maghi, musicisti, scacchisti, scrittori, artisti... La vita segreta della mente ci spiega per esempio perché le persone bilingui sono meno a rischio di demenza, ci racconta come fanno i bambini a riconoscere a prima vista oggetti che hanno soltanto toccato, ci rivela perché i neonati sembrano avere già un innato senso del bene e del male e ci mostra, con viva commozione, i labirinti meravigliosi dei pensieri che si possono "tracciare" anche nei pazienti in stato vegetativo. E se spesso la scienza si fa filosofia e quasi poesia, in queste pagine, è forse perché, come ci spiega Sigman, parlare di neuroscienze significa affrontare l'estremo desiderio dell'uomo di capire se stesso: ogni tentativo di svelare i meccanismi della mente sfida l'intera rete delle nostre conoscenze e ci mette di fronte al misterioso specchio di ciò che siamo. ------------------- «Allo stato attuale, lo studio della mente umana è una specie di Far West dove molte discipline diverse si contendono il primato della verità. La vita segreta della mente è un'esplorazione di questa frontiera, e Mariano Sigman si rivela un eccentrico e affabile compagno di viaggio.» - Tom Graham, Financial Times «Sigman è uno di quegli scienziati che sono riusciti a diventare anche dei bravi divulgatori del loro stesso lavoro. Il libro, punteggiato di storie, aneddoti e riferimenti artistici e culturali, si muove rapidamente di idea in idea, di esperimento in esperimento.» - Christopher Chabris, The New York Times «Si alternano vividi resoconti dei più cruciali esperimenti psicologici sul comportamento umano e domande intriganti sul modo in cui pensiamo il nostro stesso cervello. Un libro illuminante, in cui ci orientiamo con facilità grazie alla sincera passione di Mariano Sigman.» - Sarah Kelly, Science Magazine «Sigman parte dal cervello ma parla sopratutto di emozioni» - Vanity Fair

Book Synopsis Socially Symbolic Acts by : Joseph Francese
Download or read book Socially Symbolic Acts written by Joseph Francese and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses issues of broad cultural consequence by examining the work of three of Italy's most prominent living novelists, Umberto Eco, Vincenzo Consolo, and Antonio Tabucchi. The introductory chapter continues a discussion of some of the topics already broached in the author's Narrating Postmodern Time and Space (1997). It uses an approach that is both historicist and psychoanalytic to critically address topics in cultural studies and Italian studies. The book deals with fictions of very recent publication, many of which have been published after the turn of the millennium, filling important gaps in the critical bibliography. Close readings relate texts to their historical and cultural contexts, critiquing their ideology while preserving their Utopian moments.

Ever since their father's untimely death five years before, Wyatt Smith and his inseparably close twin sister, Lucy, have scraped by alone on their family's isolated ranch in Box Elder County, Utah. That is until one morning when, just after spotting one of their steers lying dead in the field, Wyatt is hit in the arm by a hail of gunfire that takes four more cattle with it. The shooter: a fever-eyed, fearsome girl-child with a TEC-9 in her left hand and a worn shotgun in her right. They hold the girl captive, but she breaks loose overnight and heads south into the desert. With the dawning realization that the loss of cattle will mean the certain loss of the ranch, Wyatt feels he has no choice but to go after her and somehow find restitution for what's been lost. Wyatt's decision sets him on an epic twelve-day odyssey through a nightmarish underworld he only half understands; a world that pitches him not only against the primordial ways of men and the beautiful yet brutally unforgiving landscape, but also against himself. As he winds his way down from the mountains of Box Elder to the mesas of Monument Valley and back, Wyatt is forced to look for the first time at who he is and what he’s capable of, and how those hard truths set him irrevocably apart from the one person he’s ever really known and loved. Steeped in a mythic, wildly alive language of its own, and gripping from the first gunshot to the last, Rough Animals is a tour de force from a powerful new voice.

Book Synopsis The Legend of Freud by : Samuel Weber
Download or read book The Legend of Freud written by Samuel Weber and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Psychoanalysis is dead!" Again and again this obituary is pronounced, with ever-increasing conviction in newspapers and scholarly journals alike. But the ghost of Freud and his thought continues to haunt those who would seal the grave. The Legend of Freud shows why psychoanalysis has remained uncanny, not just for its enemies but for its advocates and practitioners as welland why it continues to fascinate us. For psychoanalysis is not just a theory of psychic conflict: it is a thought in conflict with itself. Often violent, the conflicts of psychoanalysis are most productive where they remain unresolved, thus producing a text that must be read: deciphered, interpreted, rewritten. Psychoanalysis: legenda est. Review "The Legend of Freud is a fine example of what can be done with Freud's texts when philosophical and literary approaches converge, and you leave the couch in the other room. . . . Like Lacan and Derrida, Weber doesn't so much explain or interpret Freud as engage him, performing what Freud would have called an Auseinandersetzung, a discussion or argument that's also a taking apart, a deconstruction. . . . Deconstruction has picked up a bad name, especially in the minds of those who don't understand it; but this wouldn't be the case if there were more books like Weber's. The Legend of Freud is the best deconstructive work I've seen lately, and the best response to Freud; it merits close attention from anyone who wants a challenge, not merely a guide to what's right and wrong. . . . Weber is brilliantly imaginative, respectful of his subject and his readers, and productive of new ideas." Village Voice Literary Supplement
Book Synopsis A Short Border Handbook by : Gazmend Kapllani
Download or read book A Short Border Handbook written by Gazmend Kapllani and published by Portobello Books. This book was released on 2013-11-14 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It is not a recognized mental illness like agoraphobia or depression ... It's largely a matter of luck whether one suffers from border syndrome: it depends where you were born. I was born in Albania.' After spending his childhood and school years in Albania, imagining that the miniskirts and quiz shows of Italian state TV were the reality of life in the West, and fantasizing accordingly about living on the other side of the border, the death of Hoxha at last enables Gazmend Kapllani to make his escape. However, on arriving in the Promised Land, he finds neither lots of willing leggy lovelies nor a warm welcome from his long-lost Greek cousins. Instead, he gets banged up in a detention centre in a small border town. As Gazi and his fellow immigrants try to find jobs, they begin to plan their future lives in Greece, imagining riches and successes which always remain just beyond their grasp. The sheer absurdity of both their plans and their new lives is overwhelming. Both detached and involved, ironic and emotional, Kapllani interweaves the story of his experience with meditations upon 'border syndrome' - a mental state, as much as a geographical experience - to create a brilliantly observed, amusing and perceptive debut.
