Free Download Talking With Couples: Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy of the Couple Relationship By Giulio Cesare Zavattini, Barbara Bianchini, Marina Capello, Laura Dallanegra, Maria Adelaide Lupinacci, Fabio Monguzzi, Lidia Vitalini
2015 | 144 Pages | ISBN: 1782201173 | PDF | 1 MB
"In this compact and illuminating study of the evolving theoretical framework informing psychoanalytic work with couples, the authors highlight concepts that have been most drawn upon in developing dynamic couple therapy. They chart the shifting emphasis away from interpreting and reconstructing the past towards approaches that engage partners and therapists in constructing and reflecting on their encounters with each other in the present. The triangular space that is created through this process contains therapists as well as the couples with whom they talk, and invites us to revisit the essential nature of the therapeutic conversation in this light. A thoughtful and fascinating book that will interest everyone who is keen to understand the interior world of couple psychotherapy."―Christopher Clulow, PhD, Senior Fellow, the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships, London

Free Download Dead Women Talking: Figures of Injustice in American Literature By Norman, Brian
2013 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1421407523 | PDF | 2 MB
Brian Norman uncovers a curious phenomenon in American literature: dead women who nonetheless talk. These characters appear in works by such classic American writers as Poe, Dickinson, and Faulkner as well as in more recent works by Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, Tony Kushner, and others. These figures are also emerging in contemporary culture, from the film and best-selling novel The Lovely Bones to the hit television drama Desperate Housewives. Dead Women Talking demonstrates that the dead, especially women, have been speaking out in American literature since well before it was fashionable. Norman argues that they voice concerns that a community may wish to consign to the past, raising questions about gender, violence, sexuality, class, racial injustice, and national identity. When these women insert themselves into the story, they do not enter precisely as ghosts but rather as something potentially more disrupting: posthumous citizens. The community must ask itself whether it can or should recognize such a character as one of its own. The prospect of posthumous citizenship bears important implications for debates over the legal rights of the dead, social histories of burial customs and famous cadavers, and the political theory of citizenship and social death.

Author: Alejandra Dubcovsky
Narrator: Raquel Beattie
A pathbreaking look at Native women of the early South who defined power and defied authority. Historian Alejandra Dubcovsky tells a story of war, slavery, loss, remembrance, and the women whose resilience and resistance transformed the colonial South. In exploring their lives she rewrites early American history, challenging the established male-centered narrative. Dubcovsky reconstructs the lives of Native women-Timucua, Apalachee, Chacato, and Guale-to show how they made claims to protect their livelihoods, bodies, and families. Through the stories of the Native cacica who demanded her authority be recognized; the elite Spanish woman who turned her dowry and household into a source of independent power; the Floridiana who slapped a leading Native man in the town square; and the Black woman who ran a successful business at the heart of a Spanish town, Dubcovsky reveals the formidable women who claimed and used their power, shaping the history of the early South.

A London mom and Iraqi teacher should have nothing in common. Yet now, despite their differences, they’re the firmest of friends. . . Talking About Jane Austen in Baghdad by Bee Rowlatt and May Witwit is a touching and poignant portrait of an unlikely friendship. Would you brave gun-toting militias for a cut and blow dry? May’s a tough-talking, hard-smoking, lecturer in English. She’s also an Iraqi from a Sunni-Shi’ite background living in Baghdad, dodging bullets before breakfast, bargaining for high heels in bombed-out bazaars, and battling through blockades to reach her class of Jane Austen-studying girls. Bee, on the other hand, is a London mom of three, busy fighting off PTA meetings and chicken pox, dealing with dead cats, and generally juggling work and family while squabbling with her globe-trotting husband over the socks he leaves lying around the house. They should have nothing in common. But when a simple email brings them together, they discover a friendship that overcomes all their differences of culture, religion, and age. Talking About Jane Austen in Baghdad is the story of two women who share laughter and tears, and swap their confidences, dreams, and fears. And, between the grenades, the gossip, the jokes, and the secrets, they also hatch an ingenious plan to help May escape the bombings of Baghdad. . .

Free Download Talking Wolves: Thomas Hobbes on the Language of Politics and the Politics of Language By Anat Biletzki (auth.)
1997 | 212 Pages | ISBN: 9048148014 | PDF | 6 MB
Talking Wolves advances an analysis of Hobbes which takes language seriously (as seriously as Hobbes took it). It presents a reading of Hobbes’s view of society at large, and political society in particular, through a comprehensive discussion based on, and intimately linked to, his philosophy of language. This philosophy, in turn, is seen in a new light as being a pragmatic theory of language in use, language in action.
