Healing psychiatry: bridging the science/humanism divide. Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 2006, 1st printing number line ending in 1, xxii, 178pp., . Series: Basic bioethics "Psychiatry today is torn by opposing sensibilities. Is it primarily a science of brain functioning or primarily an art of understanding the human mind in its social and cultural context? Competing conceptions of mental illness as amenable to scientific explanation or as deeply complex and beyond the reach of empirical study have left the field conceptually divided between science and humanism. In Healing Psychiatry David Brendel takes a novel approach to this stubborn problem. Drawing on the classical American pragmatism of Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and John Dewey, as well as contemporary work of pragmatic bioethicists, Brendel proposes a "clinical pragmatism" that synthesizes scientific and humanistic approaches to mental health care. Psychiatry, he argues, must integrate scientific and humanistic models by emphasizing the practical, pluralistic, participatory, and provisional aspects of clinical diagnosis and treatment. Psychiatrists need to have the skill and flexibility to use scientific and humanistic approaches in a collaborative, open-ended clinical process; they must recognize the complexity of human suffering even as they strive for scientific rigor. This is the only way, he writes, that psychiatry can heal its conceptual rift and the emotional wounds of its patients." - CONTENTS: Science and Humanism in Psychiatry -- A Pragmatic Approach to Psychiatry -- Pragmatism in Action: Clinical Cases -- Pragmatism and the Mind/Body Problem -- Sigmund Freud: Scientist and Pragmatist -- Pragmatism in Neurology and Psychiatry -- Pragmatism in Psychiatric Diagnosis -- Pragmatism and the Future of Psychiatry. 9780262025942 ISBN 0262025949. …

Wegenstein, Bernadette. Getting under the skin: the body and media theory. Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 2006, xxii, 211pp., very good dust-jacket, very good black cloth. "The body as an object of critical study dominates disciplines across the humanities to such an extent that a new discipline has emerged: body criticism. In Getting Under the Skin, Bernadette Wegenstein traces contemporary body discourse in philosophy and cultural studies to its roots in twentieth-century thought - showing how psychoanalysis, phenomenology, cognitive science, and feminist theory contributed to a new body concept - and studies the millenial body in performance art, popular culture, new media arts, and architecture." - CONTENTS: Making room for the body -- Body performances from 1960s wounds 1990s extensions -- How faces have become obsolete -- The medium is the body. 9780262232470 ISBN 0262232472.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A self-described failed filmmaker falls obsessively in love with her theorist-husband's colleague: a manifesto for a new kind of feminism and the power of first-person narration.In I Love Dick, published in 1997, Chris Kraus, author of Aliens & Anorexia, Torpor, and Video Green, boldly tore away the veil that separates fiction from reality and privacy from self-expression. It's no wonder that I Love Dick instantly elicited violent controversies and attracted a host of passionate admirers. The story is gripping enough: in 1994 a married, failed independent filmmaker, turning forty, falls in love with a well-known theorist and endeavors to seduce him with the help of her husband. But when the theorist refuses to answer her letters, the husband and wife continue the correspondence for each other instead, imagining the fling the wife wishes to have with Dick. What follows is a breathless pursuit that takes the woman across America and away from her husband and far beyond her original infatuation into a discovery of the transformative power of first person narrative. I Love Dick is a manifesto for a new kind of feminist who isn't afraid to burn through her own narcissism in order to assume responsibility for herself and for all the injustice in world and it's a book you won't put down until the author's final, heroic acts of self-revelation and transformation. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Imagining a new self equal to the new art of modernism; primordial and futuristic fictions of origin in the work of Guaguin, Picasso, F. T. Marinetti, Max Ernst, and others.How to imagine not only a new art or architecture but a new self or subject equal to them In Prosthetic Gods, Hal Foster explores this question through the works and writings of such key modernists as Gauguin and Picasso, F. T. Marinetti and Wyndham Lewis, Adolf Loos and Max Ernst. These diverse figures were all fascinated by fictions of origin, either primordial and tribal or futuristic and technological. In this way, Foster argues, two forms came to dominate modernist art above all others: the primitive and the machine. Foster begins with the primitivist fantasies of Gauguin and Picasso, which he examines through the Freudian lens of the primal scene. He then turns to the purist obsessions of the Viennese architect Loos, who abhorred all things primitive. Next Foster considers the technophilic subjects propounded by the futurist Marinetti and the vorticist Lewis. These 'new egos' are further contrasted with the 'bachelor machines' proposed by the dadaist Ernst. Foster also explores extrapolations from the art of the mentally ill in the aesthetic models of Ernst, Paul Klee, and Jean Dubuffet, as well as manipulations of the female body in the surrealist photography of Brassai, Man Ray, and Hans Bellmer. Finally, he examines the impulse to dissolve the conventions of art altogether in the drip paintings of Jackson Pollock, the scatter pieces of Robert Morris, and the earthworks of Robert Smithson, and traces the evocation of lost objects of desire in sculptural work from Marcel Duchamp and Alberto Giacometti to Robert Gober. Although its title is drawn from Freud, Prosthetic Gods does not impose psychoanalytic theory on modernist art; rather, it sets the two into critical relation and scans the greater historical field that they share.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the years since Daniel Dennett's influential Consciousness Explained was published in 1991, scientific research on consciousness has been a hotly contested battleground of rival theories'so rambunctious,' Dennett observes, 'that several people are writing books just about the tumult.' With Sweet Dreams, Dennett returns to the subject for 'revision and renewal' of his theory of consciousness, taking into account major empirical advances in the field since 1991 as well as recent theoretical challenges.In Consciousness Explained, Dennett proposed to replace the ubiquitous but bankrupt Cartesian Theater model (which posits a privileged place in the brain where 'it all comes together' for the magic show of consciousness) with the Multiple Drafts Model. Drawing on psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, he asserted that human consciousness is essentially the mental software that reorganizes the functional architecture of the brain. In Sweet Dreams, he recasts the Multiple Drafts Model as the 'fame in the brain' model, as a background against which to examine the philosophical issues that 'continue to bedevil the field.'With his usual clarity and brio, Dennett enlivens his arguments with a variety of vivid examples. He isolates the 'Zombic Hunch' that distorts much of the theorizing of both philosophers and scientists, and defends heterophenomenology, his 'third-person' approach to the science of consciousness, against persistent misinterpretations and objections. The old challenge of Frank Jackson's thought experiment about Mary the color scientist is given a new rebuttal in the form of 'RoboMary,' while his discussion of a famous card trick, 'The Tuned Deck,' is designed to show that David Chalmers's Hard Problem is probably just a figment of theorists' misexploited imagination. In the final essay, the 'intrinsic' nature of 'qualia' is compared with the naively imagined 'intrinsic value' of a dollar in 'ConsciousnessHow Much is That in Real Money '.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Artists and writers reconsider the relationship between the body and electronic technology in the twenty-first century through essays, artworks, and an encyclopedic 'Abecedarius of the New Sensorium.'The relationship between the body and electronic technology, extensively theorized through the 1980s and 1990s, has reached a new technosensual comfort zone in the early twenty-first century. In Sensorium, contemporary artists and writers explore the implications of the techno-human interface. Ten artists, chosen by an international team of curators, offer their own edgy investigations of embodied technology and the technologized body. These range from Matthieu Briand's experiment in 'controlled schizophrenia' and Janet Cardiff and Georges Bures Miller's uneasy psychological soundscapes to Bruce Nauman's uncanny night visions and François Roche's destabilized architecture. The art in Sensoriumwhich accompanies an exhibition at the MIT List Visual Arts Centercaptures the aesthetic attitude of this hybrid moment, when modernist segmentation of the senses is giving way to dramatic multisensory mixes or transpositions. Artwork by each artist appears with an analytical essay by a curator, all of it prefaced by an anchoring essay on 'The Mediated Sensorium' by Caroline Jones. In the second half of Sensorium, scholars, scientists, and writers contribute entries to an 'Abecedarius of the New Sensorium.' These short, playful pieces include Bruno Latour on 'Air,' Barbara Maria Stafford on 'Hedonics,' Michel Foucault (from a little-known 1966 radio lecture) on the 'Utopian Body,' Donna Haraway on 'Compoundings,' and Neal Stephenson on the 'Viral.' Sensorium is both forensic and diagnostic, viewing the culture of the technologized body from the inside, by means of contemporary artists' provocations, and from a distance, in essays that situate it historically and intellectually. Copublished with The MIT List Visual Arts Center. …
