In Search of the Split Subject: Psychoanalysis,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mycak, Sonia, PUBLISHER: ECW Press, Examining a striking and recurrent aspect of her work--the divided self--this study focuses on the work of Margaret Atwood, offering detailed readings of six of her novels. Through a critical method that borrows freely from both psychoanalytic and phenomenological theorists, chapters on each novel place distinct emphasis on the concepts of each theory, covering such complex topics as secularization, oedipal relations and connections with the maternal, aggressive relativity, the Imaginary, the symbolic, mimesis, space and the dynamics of location, signification, and enunciative positioning. The result is an examination of the ways in which the identity of each protagonist is dislocated, alienated, splintered, and split according to the divisions that mark the subject, and new interpretations of each novel that take into account its characterization, narrative development, thematic content, and setting. An appendix serves to show how Atwood's remaining two novels could be best accounted for by other approaches, making the book a complete account of Atwood's novels to date.

The Life and Mind of John Dewey

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dykhuizen, George / Taylor, Harold, PUBLISHER: Southern Illinois University Press, Since Dewey's career and public ser-vices were even more extensive and varied than his writings, a knowledge of them is necessary for any adequate interpretation of his ideas and publi-cations. This big and important biog-raphy traces the events of Dewey's ninety-two years and provides the chronology on which future scholar-ship must build. By studying original source materials in Burlington and Charlotte, Vermont; Oil City, Pennsylvania; the University of Vermont; the Johns Hopkins Uni-versity; the University of Michigan; the University of Minnesota; the Univer-sity of Chicago; Columbia University; by combing newspapers, correspon-dence collections, institutional records, and particularly by establishing personal contact and communication with family members and colleagues, Pro-fessor Dykhuizen has been able to develop a comprehensive, minutely accurate, definitive portrait of John Dewey. Without point of view or thesis, the book systematically exam-ines the life and mind of the man often called the philosopher of American democracy.

Production and Exchange of Stone Tools: Prehistoric Obsidian

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Torrence, Robin, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Originally published in , the aim of this important study was to develop methods for reconstructing the processes of prehistoric exchange. Previous archaeological work had concentrated on mapping obsidian finds relative to source areas using trace-element analysis and on investigating the effect of trade on particular cultural groups. Dr Torrence, in contrast, drew extensively on ethnographic analogy to develop an approach that uses differences in the level of efficiency for the acquisition of raw materials and the production of goods to infer the type of exchange. Regional patterns of tool manufacture, specialist craft production at central places and quarrying are analysed in detail in the context of the prehistoric Aegean and previous ideas about the importance of trade in the growth of civilisations are re-assessed. The methodology developed will be applicable to a wide range of artefact types and the book will therefore be of value to archaeologists working in many different places and periods.
