Abstract

The Creative Writer's Survival Guide is a must-read for creative-writing students and teachers, conference participants, and aspiring writers of every stamp. Directed primarily at fiction writers but suitable for writers of all genres, John McNally's guide is a comprehensive, take-no-prisoners blunt, highly idiosyncratic, and delightfully subjective take on the writing life.

Abstract

Depuis plusieurs années, Sylvie Le Poulichet explore la dynamique de phénomènes qu'elle a dénommés «processus limites», à l'oeuvre chez des patients ordinairement désignés comme borderline. Ces patients souffrent d'une difficulté à «habiter» leur corps, à repérer les limites entre le vivant et le mort et à s'approprier leur histoire. Le déploiement de la vie paraît chez eux tombé sous le coup de condamnations parentales, émanant d'événements traumatiques et de fantasmes inconscients, qui se transmettent de génération en génération. Ces sujets en viennent à sacrifier inconsciemment certaines zones de leur corps ou des aspects de leur identité sexuelle. Et des somatisations, des dépressions, des addictions (la boulimie, par exemple), des états de figement affectent souvent leur devenir. Dans cet ouvrage, on voit se déployer les mouvements de la démarche analytique : l'auteure relate des séquences de cure où l'analyse de rêves et la traversée de fantasmes permettent de recomposer les figures du corps en souffrance. Des scènes insoupçonnées apparaissent, ayant le pouvoir de construire de nouvelles versions de la venue au monde du sujet. Et c'est lorsque s'animent les images du corps pensées parle langage du rêve que se produisent de nouvelles prises de corps. C'est lorsque sont analysées les chimères du corps - ces étranges assemblages fantasmatiques de plusieurs corps, vivants ou morts, en un seul, qui vont jusqu'à menacer la continuité d'existence -que tous les symptômes douloureux disparaissent. Ce livre montre quels sont les modes d'interprétation qui permettent de dissoudre les fantômes, de dénouer les forces traumatiques et de mettre en jeu des processus créateurs qui laisseront enfin surgir un nouveau champ de regard, de présence, de jeu et de désir.

Abstract

"The Cambridge Handbook of Creativity is a comprehensive scholarly handbook on creativity from the most respected psychologists, researchers, and educators. This handbook serves both as a thorough introduction to the field of creativity and as an invaluable reference and current source of important information. It covers such diverse topics as the brain, education, business, and world cultures. The first section, "Basic Concepts," is designed to introduce readers to both the history of and key concepts in the field of creativity. The next section, "Diverse Perspectives of Creativity," contains chapters on the many ways of approaching creativity. Several of these approaches, such as the functional, evolutionary, and neuroscientific approaches, have been invented or greatly reconceptualized in the last decade. The third section, "Contemporary Debates," highlights ongoing topics that still inspire discussion. Finally, the editors summarize and discuss important concepts from the book and look to what lies ahead"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"If good design tells the truth," writes Robert Grudin in this path-breaking book on esthetics and authority, "poor design tells a lie, a lie usually related . . . to the getting or abusing of power. "From the ornate cathedrals of Renaissance Europe to the much-maligned Ford Edsel of the late 1950's, all products of human design communicate much more than their mere intended functions. Design holds both psychological and moral power over us, and these forces may be manipulated, however subtly, to surprising effect. In an argument that touches upon subjects as seemingly unrelated as the Japanese tea ceremony, Italian mannerist painting, and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello plantation, Grudin turns his attention to the role of design in our daily lives, focusing especially on how political and economic powers impress themselves on us through the built environment. Although architects and designers will find valuable insights here, Grudin's intended audience is not exclusively the trained expert but all those who use designs and live within them every day.
