Free Download Michael O’Loughlin, "The Ethics of Remembering and the Consequences of Forgetting: Essays on Trauma, History, and Memory "
English | ISBN: 1442231874 | 2014 | 406 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
The Ethics of Remembering and the Consequences of Forgetting: Essays on Trauma, History, and Memory brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines that draw on multiple perspectives to address issues that arise at the intersection of trauma, history, and memory. Contributors include critical theorists, critical historians, psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and a working artist. The authors use intergenerational trauma theory while also pushing and pulling at the edges of conventional understandings of how trauma is defined. This book respects the importance of the recuperation of memory and the creation of interstitial spaces where trauma might be voiced. The writers are consistent in showing a deep respect for the sociohistorical context of subjective formation and the political importance of recuperating dangerous memory-the kind of memory that some authorities go to great lengths to erase. The Ethics of Remembering and the Consequences of Forgetting is of interest to critical historians, critical social theorists, psychotherapists, psychosocial theorists, and to those exploring the possibilities of life as the practice of freedom.

Free Download Nationalism in Eastern Europe: Causes and Consequences of the National Revivals and Conflicts in Late-20th-Century Eastern Europe By Søren Rinder Bollerup, Christian Dons Christensen
1997 | 332 Pages | ISBN: 0333699416 | PDF | 20 MB
Nationalism in Eastern Europe offers a thorough application of theories of nationalism in an analysis of the recent national revivals and conflicts in Eastern Europe. The book discusses both microsociological theories from social psychology and economics and macrosociological theories from sociology and political science. In a comprehensive comparative analysis these theories are applied to the late-Twentieth-century experiences of Estonia, Moldova, Croatia and the former Czechoslovakia. In doing so, the authors arrive at generalizable explanations of both the prevalence and the potential fatality of nationalism.

English | 2004 | ISBN: 0199247617, 0199247609 | PDF | pages: 256 | 1.5 mb
Philosophical naturalism, according to which philosophy is continuous with the natural sciences, has dominated the Western academy for well over a century, but Michael Rea claims that it is without rational foundation. Rea argues compellingly to the surprising conclusion that naturalists are committed to rejecting realism about material objects, materialism, and perhaps realism about other minds.

Free Download Motives for and Consequences of Minority Equity Purchases By Friedel Drees (auth.)
2010 | 109 Pages | ISBN: 3834921645 | PDF | 1 MB
Minority block purchases describe the acquisition of a non-controlling equity stake below 50 percent in a corporation. The individual motives behind these transactions can vary significantly across different types of investors and firms. Friedel Drees examines the capital markets’ reaction to the announcements of minority equity purchases in Europe and the U.S. and identifies the potential sources of value creation. He shows that company-specific characteristics, such as the strategic relatedness between two corporations, can have a significant effect on shareholder value.
