The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: From Freud and Lacan to Laplanche and Beyond is an exploration of psychoanalysis’ often complicated and fraught history with thinking about queerness, as well as its multifaceted heritage. Throughout the chapters, the contributors write about psychoanalysis’ relationship with queerness, the ways in which queerness is represented in the psychoanalytic archive, and how that archive endures in the present and creates various disruptive effects both within and beyond the clinic. Each chapter from the global cohort of contributors approaches queerness from a different angle: they consider the literary aspects of queerness’ presence in the analytic world; the...
“Wilderson’s thinking teaches us to believe in the miraculous even as we decry the brutalities out of which miracles emerge”—Fred Moten Praised as “a trenchant, funny, and unsparing work of memoir and philosophy” (Aaron Robertson,?Literary Hub), Frank B. Wilderson’s Afropessimism arrived at a moment when protests against police brutality once again swept the nation. Presenting an argument we can no longer ignore, Wilderson insists that we must view Blackness through the lens of perpetual slavery. Radical in conception, remarkably poignant, and with soaring flights of memoir, Afropessimism reverberates with wisdom and painful clarity in the fractured world we inhabit.“Wilderson’s ambitious book offers its readers two great gifts. First, it strives mightily to make its pessimistic vision plausible. . . . Second, the book depicts a remarkable life, lived with daring and sincerity.”—Paul C. Taylor, Washington Post
Unser Zusammenleben ist auf vielfältige Weise affektiv geprägt: Wir lassen uns von der Freude anderer anstecken, fühlen uns abgestoßen von Hass und sozialer Kälte oder fühlen uns cool im Verbund mit anderen. Emotionen, Gefühle und Affekte moderieren auf spürbare Weise das Verhältnis zwischen Individuum und Gesellschaft. Das Lehrbuch gibt einen Überblick über die soziologische Emotions- und Affektforschung. Neben der Entwicklung und den Grundkonzepten emotionssoziologischer Theoriebildung, werden empirische Forschungsmöglichkeiten und gegenwärtige Trends aufgezeigt. Um das weite Feld der Emotions- und Affektforschung gegenstandnah abzustecken, werden einige zentrale Forschungsfelder vorgestellt und einzelne distinkte Gefühle in ihrer sozialen Funktion diskutiert. Gerade Studierenden soll der Einstieg erleichtert werden, indem die Beiträge Kernthemen der Emotions- und Affektforschung in Relation zu zentralen Paradigmen und Zeitdiagosen der Soziologie besprechen. Auf diesem Weg adressiert die Einführung Potentiale und Schwierigkeiten des sozialwissenschaftlichen Studiums der Gefühle.
Diversity bedeutet Vielfalt oder Verschiedenheit. Bezogen auf sozialpolitische Felder bezieht Diversity sich zumeist auf den Schutz der Dimensionen geschlechtliche Identität, sexuelle Orientierung, Religion und Weltanschauung, ethnische Herkunft bzw. Nationalität, Alter sowie körperliche und geistige Verfassung. In Bezug auf diese Anwendungsfelder lässt sich ein konstanter Wandel in der Gesellschaft feststellen. Welche Konsequenzen diese Veränderungen auf die Wirtschaftskommunikation haben und wie Unternehmens- bzw. Marketingkommunikation mit Diversität umgehen, untersuchen die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes.
Por que a questão da raça permeia grande parte do nosso universo moral e político? Por que um ciclo perpétuo de escravidão — em todas as suas formas: política, intelectual e cultural — continua a definir a experiência da negritude? E por que a violência contra os negros é um traço predominante em todo o mundo? Essas são apenas algumas das questões que este livro levanta. Wilderson apresenta, nesta obra, as bases de um movimento intelectual — o afropessimismo — que vê a negritude pelo prisma da escravidão perpétua. A partir de clássicos da literatura, do cinema, da filosofia e da teoria crítica, ele mostra que a construção social da escravidão, vista pelas lentes d...
