Black Male Outsider Teaching As a Pro-Feminist Man, A Memoir


Free Download Gary L. Lemons, "Black Male Outsider: Teaching As a Pro-Feminist Man, A Memoir"
English | 2008 | pages: 268 | ISBN: 0791473023, 0791473015 | PDF | 0,5 mb
This fascinating book traces the development of the author’s consciousness as a black male pro-feminist professor. Gary L. Lemons explores the meaning of black male feminism by examining his experiences at the New York City college where he taught for more than a decade-a small, private, liberal arts college where the majority of the students were white and female. Through a series of classroom case studies, he presents the transformative power of memoir writing as a strategic tool for enabling students to understand the critical relationship between the personal and the political. From the insightful inclusion of his own personal narratives about his childhood experience of domestic violence, to stories about being a student and teacher in majority white classrooms for most of his life, Lemons takes the reader on a provocative journey about what it means to be black, male, and pro-feminist.

Outsider Art and Psychoanalytic Psychiatry


Free Download Outsider Art and Psychoanalytic Psychiatry: The "Nativity of Fools" at the Cogoleto Psychiatric Hospital
English | 2024 | ISBN: 103246450X | 167 Pages | PDF (True) | 9 MB
Cosimo Schinaia explores the history of the Cogoleto Psychiatric Hospital, now abandoned, and how its architecture and ideology influenced treatment of the patients who lived there. At the book’s core is an in-depth historical, anthropological, and psychoanalytical study of the "Nativity of Fools," a large art installation constructed from 1980 to 1984 by patients, nurses, and psychiatrists, representing their everyday lives in the asylum. Schinaia’s understanding of the scenes considers questions of nostalgia, isolation, privacy, and freedom and reflects on the risks of institutionalised segregation. The book proposes original psychoanalytic reflections on the subject of the obsolescence of psychiatric hospitals and treating mental suffering without institutionalising people.
