【简 介】In Wittgenstein on Freud Reexamined, psychoanalytical therapy is interpreted with the Wittgensteinian term language-game. Both terms are embedded in their different practical horizons of use, rich in content, and share a familiar context of everyday language. This book is an extensive and detailed investigation of the primary sources. An original perspective on psychoanalytical therapy emerges from rereading Freud and Wittgenstein through the primacy of language in their work. The possibility of significantly expanding the use of language-games results from a careful examination of the beginnings of psychoanalysis. Wittgenstein's ambivalent attitude toward psychoanalysis appears in a new light

【简 介】The corporate landscape is rife with instances of leaders who have left a trail of sinister outcomes. In the last three decades, the research in leadership and organizational sciences has expanded in theoretical and typological breadth to include the dark side. These works have aimed at uncovering the complex interplay of personalities, power dynamics, and organizational cultures that can lead to destructive and unethical behaviors in the workplace. While there are volumes of literature on leadership, there is a dearth of research that integrates dark leadership and cross-cultural norms, perspectives, variances and interventions. The Dark Sides of Leadership: A Cross-Cultural Compendium is a collaborative and transdisciplinary venture that draws on the knowledge and experiences of organizational science practitioners and scholars across the globe to explore the contentious and evolving subject of dark leadership in the workplace. The primary consideration of this book is to explore dark-side leadership conceptualizations and manifestations across national contexts and provide insights into cultural peculiarities in traits, processes, and outcomes, as well as interventionist paradigms. Social psychologists agree that the dimensions of individual worldviews shrink or broaden based on socialization and Hofstede's research demonstrates the fundamental role of national and organizational culture in shaping leadership behavior. There is currently no book that comprehensively documents cross-cultural cases, perspectives, and research on dark leadership. The authors intend to bridge this gap with this transdisciplinary book

【简 介】This book examines the lived experiences of a group of Japanese women through their 30s, revealing the dynamic of human agency responding to the social changes of Japan's lost decades. Exploring how these working-class women made choices and acted on them in pursuit of happiness through their 30s, the book highlights how, in so doing, they charted their various life course trajectories. Adopting a longitudinal ethnography approach, it tells the story of 18 Kobe women in real time based on their narratives at different points in time since 1989 when they were at high school. In this process, intra-class differentiation gradually emerged amongst the non-tertiary educated women with similar family backgrounds. The women maintained multiple identities based on their social roles in expanding human relationships (as mother, wife, daughter-in-law, singlehood), and gradually shifted in relative weight across these identities as they navigated their 30s. Demonstrating the collective potential of Japanese women to resist the dominant institutional practices and social norms, this book will appeal to students and scholars of gender studies, Japanese studies particularly Japanese culture and society

【简 介】Through a series of contemporary cases, issues, and applications, this book provides an engaging initiation to the philosophy of economics. The book explores the morality of economics, the role of the state, policies for well-being, and the methods applied by economists. To encourage the idea of debate, the book explores both the pro and contra arguments of key questions: Why can’t economists predict future crises? Why do we pay taxes, and who should pay more? Should we open borders for economic immigrants? Why do we rely on GDP? Is economics an experimental science? By exploring these questions, and many more, the book provides an accessible and thought-provoking overview of current debates in philosophy of economics

【简 介】What is the true value of a college education?
In this thought-provoking book, acclaimed cultural critic and professor of literature Richard Ohmann and noted critical scholar and pedagogue Ira Shor challenge the widely accepted notion of the "college premium": the economic advantage associated with obtaining a college degree. The authors show how the idea of a college premium is often merely a myth that furthers the commercialization of education.
Drawing on historical analysis and keen insights, they expose the underlying neoliberal ideology that has transformed universities into vehicles for profit-driven corporations. They argue that the college premium confirms class hierarchies in the United States while claiming to apply to everyone. This compelling narrative uncovers the reshaping of our perception of the value of higher education. From the casualization of academic labor to the mounting burden of student debt, from the erosion of academic freedoms to the rise of vocational curricula, Ohmann and Shor connect the dots to illustrate how economic imperatives have influenced university life.
Is College Worth It? is a must-read for students, parents, policymakers, and anyone concerned with the future of education. Ohmann and Shor's erudite analysis challenges conventional wisdom and offers a fresh perspective on the true meaning and worth of a college education.

A new antiquity : art and humanity as universal, 1400-1600

【简 介】We tend to think of sixteenth-century European artistic theory as separate from the artworks displayed in the non-European sections of museums. Alessandra Russo argues otherwise. Instead of considering the European experience of "New World" artifacts and materials through the lenses of "curiosity" and "exoticism," Russo asks a different question: What impact have these works had on the way we currently think about?and theorize?the arts?
Centering her study on a vast corpus of early modern textual and visual sources, Russo contends that the subtlety and inventiveness of the myriad of American, Asian, and African creations that were pillaged, exchanged, and often eventually destroyed in the context of Iberian colonization?including sculpture, painting, metalwork, mosaic, carving, architecture, and masonry?actually challenged and revolutionized sixteenth-century European definitions of what art is and what it means to be human. In this way, artifacts coming from outside Europe between 1400 and 1600 played a definitive role in what are considered distinctively European transformations: the redefinition of the frontier between the "mechanical" and the "liberal" arts and a new conception of the figure of the artist.
