Book excerpt: Psychologists, philosophers, theologians and educationalists have all lately explored various conceptual, moral, psychological and pedagogical dimensions of gratitude in a rapidly expanding academic and popular literature. However, while the distinguished contributors to this work hail from these distinct disciplines, they have been brought together in this volume precisely in recognition of the need for a more interdisciplinary perspective on the topic. While further developing such more familiar debates in the field as whether it is appropriate to feel grateful in circumstances in which there is no obvious benefactor, whether it is proper to feel grateful to those who have benefited one only from a sense of duty and whether it makes sense to be grateful if so doing colludes with injustice, the essays in this collection explore a wide variety of fresh conceptual, psychological and moral issues. For example, in addition to identifying some new moral paradoxes about gratitude and seeking a generally more morally discriminating approach to gratitude education, relations are explored between gratitude and humility, forgiveness and appreciation and the religious and spiritual dimensions of the concept are also given much overdue attention. By drawing together serious academic engagement with the study of gratitude and a serious attempt to undertake this within an interdisciplinary perspective, Perspectives on Gratitude will be of value to academics and graduate students in the fields of philosophy, psychology and theology, as well as other research-based disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean Baptiste Grenouille starts his life in the squalor of Paris in 1738, born amidst the filth of a fish heap. His surroundings are filthy and repulsive, setting the tone for his early years. Despite the unsavory conditions, Grenouille develops an exceptional sense of smell from a young age. Unfortunately, he faces rejection from his mother, who mistakenly believes he was stillborn, leading her to abandon him and his siblings, resulting in her execution. This leaves Grenouille as an orphan, compelled to move from one place to another, as no one is willing to provide a permanent home. Only a few individuals briefly care for him until he ultimately ends up in the care of a nursemaid. Grenouille grows up devoid of the love and warmth of human connection, as he is rejected by both his mother and society due to his lack of a natural body aroma. Faced with this rejection, he directs his focus towards his extraordinary sense of smell, becoming fixated on all things related to odor. From an early age, he harbors an obsession with capturing every scent in the world, constructing his own world by meticulously cataloging each fragrance he encounters. Frequently wandering alone, he immerses himself in the act of smelling everything around him. During his youth, Grenouille exhibits an exceptional talent for crafting perfumes, even surviving exposure to harmful gases while working for a tanner. Undeterred, he continues his quest for unique scents throughout the city. His journey takes a dark turn when he becomes captivated by the fragrance of a young girl in rue de Marais, leading to a tragic outcome. Driven by an insatiable desire to possess the divine scent of the girl, Grenouille unintentionally causes her demise in the pursuit of his overwhelming ambition. Soon after the tragic incident, Grenouille's exceptional talent catches the attention of the renowned perfumer, Baldini, who takes him under his wing as an apprentice. Grenouille flourishes under Baldini's guidance, creating an outstanding perfume that elevates him to the status of a master perfumer and brings wealth. Despite his success, Grenouille indulges in peculiar experiments, such as attempting to distill the essence of porcelain and even extracting the unique scent from his own body, including his hair. These endeavors prove unsuccessful, resulting in a period of illness lasting several weeks. During his recovery, Grenouille discovers an alternative technique for capturing the human scent that differs from distillation. Upon conceiving the idea, Grenouille embarks on a journey to depart from Paris and make his way to Grasse. However, midway through his trek, an overwhelming sense of confinement in the societal roles of humanity takes hold. Fueled by the longstanding rejection he has endured since birth, he decides to distance himself from human existence. The rural surroundings intensify his aversion to the scent of people, prompting him to adopt an indifferent stance toward the world. Grenouille chooses seclusion, seeking refuge in the tunnel of the mountain of solitude, marking the beginning of a seven-year period of self-imposed isolation. During this time, he endeavors to unravel his own distinctive scent. The tunnel becomes a space where he grapples with delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized behavior. A particularly nightmarish experience, considered a delusion of persecution, coupled with the realization that he lacks a personal scent, prompts his return to the realm of humanity. In a sudden shift, he no longer avoids things associated with human existence. Employing cunning tactics, Grenouille deceives people by fabricating a tale of being captured by thieves. Through a series of captivating performances showcasing his talents, he manages to make his way to Grasse, where he encounters Madame Arnulfi. Under her guidance, he learns a new method for perfume production. However, an atmosphere of alarm descends upon the town when news of a murderer targeting women spreads. Grenouille, adopting a sinister modus operandi, breaks into homes, leaving behind his victims unclothed and with shaved heads. After claiming the lives of twenty-four girls, his murderous spree inexplicably halts. A perceptive wealthy man discerns the pattern in the killings and becomes aware that his daughter, Laura, might be the next target. In an attempt to protect her, he endeavors to leave the town, but Grenouille is relentless, tracking and stealing Laura's scent, just as he did with his previous victims. Shortly after Grenouille murders Laura, he is apprehended and condemned to death. Strikingly, he exhibits no sense of guilt either for the heinous acts committed or when facing police capture. Undergoes torture during police interrogation, he remains defiant, admitting to nothing beyond his need for the scents of the girls. On the day of his execution, an enveloping perfume surrounds Grenouille like an aura. Realizing the potency of the perfume he created, the crowd is captivated, cheering and considering him an angel. Yet, to Grenouille, their love and adoration transform into hatred. The realization dawns that his attained supremacy elicits not happiness but repulsion and animosity. Despite being the object of adoration, he feels unloved, purposeless, and devoid of meaning. Faced with this disillusionment, he returns to Paris. In the city, Grenouille encounters a group of primitive people engaging in open campfire lovemaking. Seeking acceptance, he deliberately applies his secret perfume. The impact is so profound that the group devours him like cannibals until nothing remains, marking a stark and unsettling end to Grenouille's complex and troubled journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of an interdisciplinary study of law and literature is one of the most exciting theoretical developments taking place in North America and Britain. In Law and Literature: Possibilities and Perspectives Ian Ward explores the educative ambitions of the law and literature movement, and its already established critical, ethical and political potential. He reveals the law in literature, and the literature of law, in key areas of literature, from Shakespeare to Beatrix Potter to Umberto Eco, and from feminist literature to children's literature to the modern novel, drawing out the interaction between rape law and The Handmaid's Tale, and the psychology of English property law and The Tale of Peter Rabbit. This original book defines the developing state of law and literature studies, and demonstrates how the theory of law and literature can illuminate the literary text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the main aims of modern mental health care is to understand a person's explicit and implicit ways of thinking and acting. So, it may seem like the ultimate paradox that mental health care services are currently overflowing with brain concepts belonging to the external, visible brain-world and that neuroscientists are poised to become new experts on human conduct. An Interdisciplinary Approach to the Human Mind shows that to create care that is truly innovative, mental health care workers must not only ask questions about how their conceptions of human beings and psychological phenomena came into being, but should also see themselves as co-creators of the mystery they seek to solve. Looking at the human being as a being with a biological body and unique subjective experiences, living in a reciprocal relationship with its sociocultural and historical environment, the book will provide examples and theories that show the necessity of an innovating, interdisciplinary mental health care service that manages to adapt its theory and methods to environmental, biological, and subjective changes. To this end, the book will provide an innovating psychology that offers a broad kaleidoscope of perspectives about the relations between the history of psychology, as a scientific discipline oriented to interpret and explain subject and subjectivity phenomenon, and the social construction of subjectified experience. This unique and timely book should be of great interest to critical and cultural psychologists and theorists; clinical psychologists, therapists, and psychiatrists; sociologists of culture and science; anthropologists; philosophers; historians; and scholars working with social and health theories. It should also be essential reading for lawyers, advocates, and defenders of human rights.

Book excerpt: Themes play a central role in our everyday communication: we have to know what a text is about in order to understand it. Intended meaning cannot be understood without some knowledge of the underlying theme. This book helps to define the concept of 'themes' in texts and how they are structured in language use. Much of the literature on Thematics is scattered over different disciplines (literature, psychology, linguistics, cognitive science), which this detailed collection pulls together in one coherent overview. The result is a new landmark for the study and understanding of themes in their everyday manifestation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on work from scholars in both psychology and translation studies, this collection offers new perspectives on what Holmes (1972) called ‘translation psychology’. This interdisciplinary volume brings together contributions addressing translation from the vantage point of different applied branches of psychology, including critical-developmental psychology, occupational psychology, and forensic psychology. Current theoretical and methodological practices in these areas have the potential to strengthen and diversify how translators’ decision-making and problem-solving behaviours are understood, but many sub-branches of psychology have lacked visibility so far in the translation studies literature. The Psychology of Translation: An Interdisciplinary Approach therefore seeks to expand our understanding of translator behaviour by bringing to the fore new schools of thought and conceptualisations. Some chapters report on empirical studies, while others provide a review of research in a particular area of psychology of relevance to translation and translators. Written by a range of leading figures and authorities in psychology and translation, it offers unique contributions that can enrich translation process research and provide a means of encouraging further development in the area of translation psychology. This book will be of interest to scholars working at the intersection of translation and psychology, in such fields as translation studies, affective science, narrative psychology, and work psychology, amongst other areas. It will be of particular interest to researchers and postgraduate students in translation studies.

This book was released on 2012-12-30 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book is realized a brief presentation of the main orientations and features of the Humanistic Theory and Method in the major socio-human sciences, domains and practices. As construction, structure and content this book cumulates, incorporates, synthesizes and develops in a new, original and unitary work a number of the author’s previous works consecrated to the humanistic approach and method in some socio-human sciences and practices, especially in Psychology and Psychotherapy, Sociology, Social Work, Education and Management, published up to the end of 2012, both in print and electronic format. In the process of realization of this works, including of this book, was taken into consideration and was consulted the universal "social" and "therapeutic" literature of humanistic orientation, with the two main directions – existential/positive and spiritual/ontological/humanitarian, or the one that describes it or refers to it. Essentially, the Existential/Positive Orientations represent and approach, in theory or practice (therapy, education, social work etc.), the Person and Personality through traits (objectives) like high level of personal and social autonomy, free will and high capacity/ ability for self-determination, high level of personal development, high resilience, high capacity to control the emotions, high degree of awareness, self-knowledge, high self-esteem, high level of interpersonal development, adaptability, mature personality, activism and initiative, assertiveness, etc., while the Socio-Human (Micro-)Community is represented through features such as high autonomy, strong organizational culture, high socio-human functionality, high cohesion, unity, solidity, adaptability, resilience, resistance to crisis and challenges, good management, etc. The Ontological/Spiritual Approaches/Theories promote core concepts (and objectives of the intervention) such as spiritual-humane personality and humane/good community, spiritual-humane development of the person and humane-cultural development of the community. These paradigms highlight and promote Personality traits and qualities such as spirituality, virtue, humanness, altruism, empathy, love, faith, etc. Regarding the theoretical representation of the Community these approaches/theories highlight ideas and features as people-centered community, the dominance of the inter-personal relationships of attachment, love, respect, the dominance of the practices and customs of mutual helps, social/group/community solidarity, harmony, unity, inter-personal congruency, socio-human, inter-personal, community functionality, socio-human, moral and cultural integration/ cohesion. *** Regarding the destination of this paper, its design, content and bibliography are made in such a way to be useful both to the academic community, to students and teachers, and also to the professional community, to psychotherapists, educators, managers, social workers, artists, etc.
