The Belle Époque A Cultural History, Paris and Beyond

The Belle Époque A Cultural History, Paris and Beyond
Dominique Kalifa, "The Belle Époque: A Cultural History, Paris and Beyond "
English | ISBN: 0231202091 | 2021 | 264 pages | EPUB | 25 MB
The years before the First World War have long been romanticized as a zenith of French culture―the "Belle Époque." The era is seen as the height of a lost way of life that remains emblematic of what it means to be French. In a vast range of texts and images, it appears as a carefree time full of joie de vivre, fanfare and frills, artistic daring, and scientific innovation. The Moulin Rouge shared the stage with the Universal Exposition, Toulouse-Lautrec rubbed elbows with Marie Curie and La Belle Otero, and Fantômas invented automatic writing.

The Analyst in the Inner City Race, Class, and Culture Through a Psychoanalytic Lens

The Analyst in the Inner City Race, Class, and Culture Through a Psychoanalytic Lens
The Analyst in the Inner City: Race, Class, and Culture Through a Psychoanalytic Lens By Neil Altman
2009 | 396 Pages | ISBN: 0881634999 | PDF | 4 MB
In 1995, Neil Altman did what few psychoanalysts did or even dared to do: He brought the theory and practice of psychoanalysis out of the cozy confines of the consulting room and into the realms of the marginalized, to the very individuals whom this theory and practice often overlooked. In doing so, he brought together psychoanalytic and social theory, and examined how divisions of race, class and culture reflect and influence splits in the developing self, more often than not leading to a negative self image of the "other" in an increasingly polarized society. Much like the original, this second edition of The Analyst in the Inner City opens up with updated, detailed clinical vignettes and case presentations, which illustrate the challenges of working within this clinical milieu. Altman greatly expands his section on race, both in the psychoanalytic and the larger social world, including a focus on "whiteness" which, he argues, is socially constructed in relation to "blackness." However, he admits the inadequacy of such categorizations and proffers a more fluid view of the structure of race. A brand new section, "Thinking Systemically and Psychoanalytically at the Same Time," examines the impact of the socio-political context in which psychotherapy takes place, whether local or global, on the clinical work itself and the socio-economic categories of its patients, and vice-versa. Topics in this section include the APA's relationship to CIA interrogation practices, group dynamics in child and adolescent psychotherapeutic interventions, and psychoanalytic views on suicide bombing. Ranging from the day-to-day work in a public clinic in the South Bronx to considerations of global events far outside the clinic's doors (but closer than one might think), this book is a timely revision of a groundbreaking work in psychoanalytic literature, expanding the import of psychoanalysis from the centers of analytical thought to the margins of clinical need.

That Middle World Race, Performance, and the Politics of Passing

That Middle World Race, Performance, and the Politics of Passing
Julia S. Charles, "That Middle World: Race, Performance, and the Politics of Passing"
English | ISBN: 1469659573 | 2020 | 242 pages | EPUB | 11 MB
In this study of racial passing literature, Julia S. Charles highlights how mixed-race subjects invent cultural spaces for themselves-a place she terms that middle world-and how they, through various performance strategies, make meaning in the interstices between the Black and white worlds. Focusing on the construction and performance of racial identity in works by writers from the antebellum period through Reconstruction, Charles creates a new discourse around racial passing to analyze mixed-race characters' social objectives when crossing into other racialized spaces. To illustrate how this middle world and its attendant performativity still resonates in the present day, Charles connects contemporary figures, television, and film-including Rachel Dolezal and her Black-passing controversy, the FX show
