In Lacan: The Unconscious Reinvented, Colette Soler takes us beyond the formulas and catchphrases often used to characterize Lacan's work, and enters into a fresh, original and profound dialogue with his thought. Starting from the well-known "the unconscious is structured like language", she asks what led Lacan to speak of a "real unconscious". Soler discusses the key changes in Lacan's work over the years and the implicit questions that motivated these changes. Themes discussed include the unconscious, the symptom, affects, the direction of treatment and the political dimensions of analytic practice. This book will appeal to all those with an interest in Lacan's thought, as well as providing an introduction to the development of his ideas.

Riconosciuta come la più antica delle lingue indoeuropee, in cui la razionalità e la cura della precisione sono presenti accanto al pensiero analogico e simbolico, il sanscrito ancora oggi è capace di affascinare. Questa lingua plurimillenaria permette di accostarsi a una diversa comprensione dell'uomo espressa in una forma animata da ritmi, immagini e intuizioni folgoranti. Essa ha avuto senza dubbio un ruolo fondatore per la cultura indiana e per noi, oggi, costituisce una sorta di soglia, nell'universo della conoscenza, che dà accesso a un mondo fuori dell'ordinario nell'ambito delle civiltà umane. Questo è possibile grazie all'ampiezza della letteratura scritta e orale, alla profondità dello sguardo portato sulla vita, alle competenze indotte dal suo studio (grammatica, logica...), alla bellezza e la sottigliezza della sua struttura interna e della sua eufonia - nello stesso tempo divinizzata e descritta con una minuziosa analisi critica - e infine alla sua presenza, ancora oggi, nel cuore delle pratiche, delle riflessioni, delle creazioni letterarie, religiose, filosofiche e scientifiche. Questo libro ci apre i tesori di una delle più feconde civiltà del mondo attraverso la sua lingua, ci accompagna in una terra incognita tenendoci per mano.

Da un po' di tempo a questa parte, prima all'estero e poi, a mano a mano, anche in Italia, per opera prima di turisti stranieri e poi anche italiani, il portale di TripAdvisor, che ospita di solito le recensioni degli utenti a ristoranti e alberghi - quelle che si chiamano strutture ricettive - si è arricchito di un corpus di commenti circostanziati che riguardano collezioni, musei, siti archeologici. Nicolette Mandarano ha selezionato per la ricerca attuale una serie di realtà museali che presentassero, su TripAdvisor, un numero significativo di commenti. Ha poi stabilito un criterio di analisi e allestito una griglia di comparazioni, da cui emergono alcune considerazioni rilevanti, che l'autrice presenta e discute nel suo testo. La rete ci trasforma in cercatori e donatori di consigli, che provengono non solo dall'alto delle recensioni d'autore, ma anche dal basso dei commenti degli altri utenti. Siamo oggi partecipanti attivi alle esperienze culturali e allo scambio delle proprie impressioni su di esse.

Il dottor Denis Mukwege è un gigante sorridente con lo sguardo pacifico e la voce rassicurante. Così viene descritto da chi lo ha incontrato e intervistato e dalle migliaia di donne vittime di violenza sessuale che ha curato nel suo ospedale, il Panzi Hospital nel Kivu Sud, la provincia più insanguinata della Repubblica Democratica del Congo. Da oltre vent'anni il ginecologo cuce e ripara, ascolta le storie delle sue pazienti, quando può prega, si indigna ma non si rassegna. A mani nude si batte contro le atrocità di una guerra in cui lo stupro è utilizzato come un'arma da tutti gli schieramenti e il corpo della donna si è trasformato in un nuovo campo di battaglia. Colette Braeckman, grande specialista del Congo, raccoglie la testimonianza fuori dal comune del dottor Mukwege, che in questi anni ha vissuto gli orrori della guerra in prima linea, sfiorando la morte più di una volta. Attraverso il racconto dell'uomo che ripara le donne, e che incessantemente è costretto a ricominciare tutto da capo, le sequenze del disastro acquistano nuova luce e soprattutto nuove ombre. Un piccolo 'corso di storia' tra i moventi sotterranei dei signori della guerra senza fede né legge, le ambiguità del mondo della cooperazione, le colpevoli mancanze della comunità internazionale e la sorte riservata ai più deboli, popolazione inerme vittima dei saccheggi, bambini assoldati da mercenari senza scrupoli, e le donne, che pagano il prezzo più alto sulla propria pelle. Il risultato è un'opera che non può lasciare indifferenti, il resoconto spietato di una delle grandi tragedie ignorate dei nostri

Provocatrice e sensuale, Colette scatena tutta la sua golosità di cibo e di vita in questi tredici articoli scritti per 'Marie-Claire' tra il 1938 e il '40. Che si tratti di cucina, di amore, di animali, di fiori, lo sguardo dell'autrice si posa libero sul mondo che la circonda.

Exercise immunology is an important, emerging sub-discipline within exercise physiology, concerned with the relationship between exercise, immune function and infection risk. This book offers a comprehensive, up-to-date and evidence-based introduction to exercise immunology, including the physiological and molecular mechanisms that determine immune function and the implications for health and performance in sport and everyday life.

Written by a team of leading exercise physiologists, the book describes the characteristics of the immune system and how its components are organised to form an immune response. It explains the physiological basis of the relationship between stress, physical activity, immune function and infection risk, and identifies the ways in which exercise and nutrition interact with immune function in athletes and non-athletes. The book shows students how to evaluate the strengths and limitations of the evidence linking physical activity, immune system integrity and health, and explains why exercise is associated with anti-inflammatory effects that are potentially beneficial to long-term health.

Every chapter includes useful features, such as clear summaries, definitions of key terms, discussions of seminal research studies and practical guidelines for athletes on ways to minimise infection risk, with additional learning resources available on a companion website. This is an essential textbook for any course on exercise immunology or advanced exercise physiology.

This third volume of The Wake Forest Series of Irish Poetry brings lesser-known Irish voices to our American audience. Editor and renowned poet Conor O’Callaghan has selected poetry by Colette Bryce, Justin Quinn, John McAuliffe, Maurice Riordan, and Gerard Fanning. Additionally, O’Callaghan includes interviews with each author. From the depressed economy of the 1980s through the Celtic Tiger of the 1990s to the current enforced austerity campaign, Ireland has come ?full circle.” The works of these five poets reflect that journey with vital and various voices. O’Callaghan, an Irish poet himself, states: ?These poets generally breathed fresh air into poetry in Ireland. If post-modernism means anything, it means choosing one’s own tradition from whatever source.”
