Book excerpt: Professor Roger Woodard brings together a group of the world's most authoritative scholars of classical myth to present a thorough treatment of all aspects of Greek mythology. Sixteen original articles guide the reader through all aspects of the ancient mythic tradition and its influence around the world and in later years. The articles examine the forms and uses of myth in Greek oral and written literature, from the epic poetry of 8th century BC to the mythographic catalogues of the early centuries AD. They examine the relationship between myth, art, religion and politics among the ancient Greeks and its reception and influence on later society from the Middle Ages to present day literature, feminism and cinema. This Companion volume's comprehensive coverage makes it ideal reading for students of Greek mythology and for anyone interested in the myths of the ancient Greeks and their impact on western tradition.

Book excerpt: “Hubbard and Hegarty have provided a lively and accessible antidote to malestream history.” Alexandra Rutherford, Professor, Department of Psychology, York University, Toronto, Canada “Katherine Hubbard and Peter Hegarty give students and researchers a much-needed accessible and lively feminist overview of the too-often neglected history of gender studies in psychology as well as pressing theoretical and conceptual issues.” Stephanie A. Shields, Professor Emeritx, Psychology and Women’s Gender, The Pennsylvania State University – University Park, US “This book introduces some of the enduring issues in psychology, but with a contemporary twist, including plenty of rich examples with real people, helping to bring the discipline of psychology to life, warts and all”. Hel Spandler, Professor of Mental Health Studies, University of Central Lancashire, UK The Feminist Companion series includes books which act as your friends and mentors in book form, supporting you in your studies, especially when things get tough. This companion offers crucial support for anyone embarking on a feminist journey through Psychology’s past and present. It offers a uniquely critical, inclusive and affirmative approach to understanding gender in Conceptual and Historical Issues in Psychology (CHIP). By accessibly presenting knotty and entangled topics, this book promises to ignite your curiosity and get you asking questions. The book empowers you to build up a feminist toolkit for action and invites you to critically analyse the history of Psychology in order to gain a unique feminist perspective that can help you challenge and address the gender inequalities that remain in the discipline. Key features include: Five Reasons Why You Need a Feminist Companion – a helpful guide to what readers can expect to gain from this book Learning objectives to tell you what the chapter will cover and how it relates to what you’ve learned so far Key questions to help put the theory you are learning into practice Summary sections that articulate the main points of each chapter and provide a useful revision aid A glossary of key terms This book maps to the British Psychological Society (BPS) curriculum on Conceptual and Historical Issues in Psychology as well as the Quality Assessment Agency’s (QAA) Subject Benchmark Statement for Psychology. Katherine Hubbard is Senior Lecturer at the University of Surrey, UK. Her research and teaching are interdisciplinary, including psychological, historical and sociological components which focus on gender, sexuality and queer studies. She takes an affirmative and inclusive approach and specialises in queer feminist histories of Psychology. Peter Hegarty is Professor of Psychology at the Open University, UK. He is a social psychologist and historian-psychologist who has often argued that human behaviours deemed intelligent, such as language, scientific thinking, and moral reasoning, are invidiously shaped by gender, sexuality and sex norms beyond psychologists’ awareness.

Book excerpt: Laughing with Medusa explores a series of interlinking questions, including: Does history's self-positioning as the successor of myth result in the exclusion of alternative narratives of the past? How does feminism exclude itself from certain historical discourses? Why has psychoanalysis placed myth at the centre of its explorations of the modern subject? Why are the Muses feminine? Do the categories of myth and politics intersect or are they mutually exclusive? Does feminism's recourse to myth offer a script of resistance or commit it to an ineffective utopianism? Covering a wide range of subject areas including poetry, philosophy, science, history, and psychoanalysis as well as classics, this book engages with these questions from a truly interdisciplinary perspective. It includes a specially commisssioned work of fiction, `Iphigeneia's Wedding', by the poet Elizabeth Cook.
