Jugendinformationsarbeit: Ein bildungssoziologischer Beitrag zu einem sozialpädagogischen Handlungsfeld
by Martin AuferbauerMartin Auferbauer untersucht das Angebot der Jugendinformationsarbeit und begründet diesen Teilbereich der Jugendarbeit aus soziologischer und pädagogischer Perspektive. Gleichwohl sie institutionell in Europa gut ausgebaut ist, gibt es für die Jugendinformation bislang kaum Beschreibungen des Handlungsfelds und keine empirisch abgesicherte Festlegung ihrer Ausrichtung. Neben einem Vorschlag zur Differenzierung der bestehenden Angebote leitet der Autor Handlungsempfehlungen für die Gestaltung von Jugendinformationsarbeit in verschiedenen Kontexten ab.
Jugendliche Lebenswelten: Perspektiven für Politik, Pädagogik und Gesellschaft
by Peter Martin Thomas and Marc CalmbachEin ermutigendes Buch, das endlich einmal nicht den Defizitblick in der Vordergrund stellt, sondern zeigt, wie viele Ressourcen die junge Generation in Deutschland in Wirklichkeit hat. Klaus HurrelmannWie sehen die aktuellen Lebenswelten 14- bis 17-Jähriger in Deutschland aus? Wie denken, fühlen und lernen sie, wie gestalten sie ihren Alltag, wo finden sie Sinn, Chancen und Anerkennung? Eine große Vielfalt an grundlegenden Wertorientierungen, an Alltagseinstellungen etwa zu Schule, Familie, Freizeit, Konsum und Medien sowie Unterschiede in der sozialen Lage kennzeichnen Jugendliche heute. Ähnliche Lebensweisen und Lebensauffassungen gruppiert die Sinus-Jugendforschung in verschiedenen Lebenswelten, die die Vielfalt der Jugend abbilden. Diese Studien des SINUS-Instituts zählen mittlerweile zu den Standardwerken der Jugendforschung und bilden eine wichtige Grundlage für die Arbeit mit jungen Menschen. Jugendliche Lebenswelten befasst sich mit den Fragen, Handlungsanforderungen und Perspektiven, die sich aus der Kenntnis jugendlicher Lebenswelten ergeben. Angesprochen werden Themen wie das Interesse Jugendlicher an Selbstinszenierung und Jugendszenen oder deren Begeisterung für Mode- und Elektronik-Marken. Diese werden oft problemorientiert diskutiert, während die Autorinnen und Autoren in diesem Buch sie als zentrale Facette von Identität auffassen. Bei der Frage nach dem Verständnis von politischer Bildung diskutieren sie , wie man verhindert, „benachteiligte Jugendliche“ auszugrenzen. Den zeitlosen Begriffen wie Sinn, Glück und Erfolg und deren unterschiedlichen Bedeutungshorizonten in den verschiedenen Lebenswelten widmet sich ein weiteres Kapitel. Mit den wünschenswerten und notwendigen Implikationen für Politik, Pädagogik und Gesellschaft schließen die Herausgeber von Jugendliche Lebenswelten.

Jules Guesde: The Birth of Socialism and Marxism in France (Marx, Engels, and Marxisms)
by Jean-Numa DucangeWhat explains France’s unique Left? Many works have reflected upon the importance of Marxism in France, yet few studies have been devoted to the man who did most to introduce Marxism into its political culture: the today near-forgotten figure of Jules Guesde. It was with Guesde that Karl Marx drafted the world’s first Marxist program, and Guesde who aroused the enthusiasm of countless worker-militants who saw him as their most important leader. Jules Guesde represents the first book-length study of the French socialist leader translated into the English language. For the radical Left today, Guesde is often considered a dogmatist who supported the Union sacrée during World War I and rejected the Bolshevik revolution; for the governmental Left, he embodies an intransigent ideologue who held back the modernization of the French Left. Throughout Jules Guesde, Jean-Numa Ducange argues that it is impossible to study the history of the French socialist movement without a close look at this singular figure and offers a fuller picture of the deep transformations of the Left and Marxism in France from the late 19th century up to the present. This scholarly biography of Jules Guesde seeks to put Guesde’s record on a properly historical footing, closely analysing both archival sources and accounts by his contemporaries. Chapter One begins with his early life and the mark left on him by the Paris Commune and exile. Chapter Two emphasises Guesde’s importance as leader of a distinct current of French socialism, recognised by figures like Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Chapter Three sees Guesde become an MP for working-class Roubaix, exploring the contradictions between his revolutionary rhetoric and concrete political practice. Chapter Four turns to the years following his electoral defeat in 1898 and his renewed intransigence in the period of the Dreyfus affair and rivalry with Jaurès. Chapter Five explores his key role in the formation of a united Socialist Party. Chapter Six examines the test of World War I and Guesde’s anguish at the divisions of French socialism. The book then concludes with an examination of Guesde’s contested legacy, as both a “founding father” and figure subject to often pejorative framings.
Julia Domna: Syrian Empress (Women of the Ancient World)
by Barbara LevickThis book covers Julia’s life, and charts her travels throughout the Empire from Aswan to York during a period of profound upheaval, and seeks the truth about this woman who inspired such extreme and contrasting views, exposing the instability of our sources about her, and characterizing a sympathetic, courageous, intelligent, and important woman. This book contains a fresh re-assessment of the one of the most significant figures of her time and questions: • Was Julia more powerful than earlier empresses? • Did she really promote despotism? • How seriously is her literary circle to be taken? As part of a dynasty which used force and violence to preserve its rule, she was distrusted by its subjects; as a Syrian, she was the object of prejudice; as a woman with power, she was resented. On the other hand, Domna was the centre of a literary circle considered highly significant by nineteenth-century admirers.

Julia Kristeva: Readings of Exile and Estrangement
by A. SmithLiterature can have a disturbing effect on its readers. It unsettles our hold on everyday experience and makes us strangers and exiles. Anna Smith argues that this is the side of literature which attracts critic and psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva. Kristeva is drawn to states of extremity where language and the psyche are under duress, and in this book Smith examines the way the alchemical properties of words may transform these extremities into what Kristeva calls 'a fire of tongues, an exit from representation'.
Julia Kristeva and Feminist Thought
by Birgit SchippersThis book appraises the relationship between contemporary feminism and Julia Kristeva, a major figure in Continental thought. It addresses the conflicting range of feminist responses to Kristeva's key ideas and Kristeva's equally conflicting as well as ambiguous position vis-á-vis feminism.

Jung and Kierkegaard: Researching a Kindred Spirit in the Shadows (Research in Analytical Psychology and Jungian Studies)
by Amy CookJung and Kierkegaard identifies authenticity, suffering and self-deception as the three key themes that connect the work of Carl Jung and Søren Kierkegaard. There is, in the thinking of these pioneering psychologists of the human condition, a fundamental belief in the healing potential of a religious outlook. This engaging and erudite text explores the significance of the similarities of thinking between Kierkegaard and Jung, bridging the gap between the former’s particular brand of existential Christian psychology and the latter’s own unique philosophy. Given the similarity of their work and experiences that were common to both of their personal biographies, particularly the relationship that each had with his father, one might expect Jung to have found in Kierkegaard a kindred spirit. Yet this was not the case, and Jung viewed Kierkegaard with great scorn. That there exists such a strong comparison and extensive overlap in the life and thought of these towering figures of psychology and philosophy leads us to question why it is that Jung so strongly rejected Kierkegaard. Such hostility is particularly fascinating given the striking similarity that Jung’s own analytical psychology bears to the Christian psychology upheld by Kierkegaard. Cook’s thought-provoking book fills a very real gap in Jungian scholarship and is the first attempt to undertake a direct comparison between Jung and Kierkegaard’s models of development. It is therefore essential reading for academics and postgraduate students with an interest in Jungian and Kierkegaard scholarship, as well as psychology, philosophy and religion more generally.

Jüngere Jugendliche zwischen Familie, Peers und Schule: Zur Entstehung von Bildungsungleichheit an außerschulischen Bildungsorten (Studien zur Schul- und Bildungsforschung #54)
by Ulrike DeppeWas in der gesellschaftlichen Realität untrennbar erscheint und im Alltagsverständnis häufig als zusammengehörig betrachtet wird, muss in der wissenschaftlichen Analyse als Zusammenhang nicht unbedingt Beachtung finden. Dazu gehört der Gegenstand des Bandes: der Beitrag von Familie und Peers für die Entstehung von Bildungsungleichheit. Darin werden die Ergebnisse einer qualitativen Studie, in der die Entstehung von Bildungsungleichheit aus der Perspektive von ca. 13-Jährigen, ihren Eltern und ihren Freunden untersucht wurde, präsentiert. Das Buch bietet neue empirische Einblicke in das Wechselverhältnis von Familie und Peers in ihrer Bedeutsamkeit für die Bildungsbiografien von ca. 13-jährigen Schülern und für die Entstehung von Bildungsungleichheit.

Jung’s Alchemical Philosophy: Psyche and the Mercurial Play of Image and Idea (Philosophy and Psychoanalysis)
by Stanton MarlanTraditionally, alchemy has been understood as a precursor to the science of chemistry but from the vantage point of the human spirit, it is also a discipline that illuminates the human soul. This book explores the goal of alchemy from Jungian, psychological, and philosophical perspectives. Jung’s Alchemical Philosophy: Psyche and the Mercurial Play of Image and Idea is a reflection on Jung’s alchemical work and the importance of philosophy as a way of understanding alchemy and its contributions to Jung’s psychology. By engaging these disciplines, Marlan opens new vistas on alchemy and the circular and ouroboric play of images and ideas, shedding light on the alchemical opus and the transformative processes of Jungian psychology. Divides in the history of alchemy and in the alchemical imagination are addressed as Marlan deepens the process by turning to a number of interpretations that illuminate both the enigma of the Philosophers’ Stone and the ferment in the Jungian tradition. This book will be of interest to Jungian analysts and those who wish to explore the intersection of philosophy and psychology as it relates to alchemy.

Jung's Ethics: Moral Psychology and his Cure of Souls (Philosophy and Psychoanalysis)
by Dan MerkurThis volume presents the first organized study of Jung's ethics. Drawing on direct quotes from all of his collected works, interviews, and seminars, psychoanalyst and religious scholar Dan Merkur provides a compendium of Jung’s thoughts on various topics and themes that comprise his theoretical corpus—from the personal unconscious, repression, dreams, good and evil, and the shadow, to collective phenomena such as the archetypes, synchronicity, the psychoid, the paranormal, God, and the Self, as well as his contributions to clinical method and technique including active imagination, inner dialogue, and the process of individuation and consciousness expansion. The interconnecting thread in Merkur's approach to the subject matter is to read Jung’s work through an ethical lens. What comes to light is how Merkur systematically portrays Jung as a moralist, but also as a complex thinker who situates the human being as an instinctual animal struggling with internal conflict and naturalized sin. Merkur exposes the tension and development in Jung’s thinking by exploring his innovative clinical-technical methods and experimentation, such as through active imagination, inner dialogue, and expressive therapies, hence underscoring unconscious creativity in dreaming, symbol formation, engaging the paranormal, and artistic productions leading to expansions of consciousness, which becomes a necessary part of individuation or the working through process in pursuit of self-actualization and wholeness. In the end, we are offered a unique presentation of Jung’s core theoretical and clinical ideas centering on an ethical fulcrum, whereby his moral psychology leads to a cure of souls. Jung’s Ethics will be of interest to academics, scholars, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of Jungian studies and analytical psychology, ethics, moral psychology, philosophy, religious studies, and mental health professionals focusing on the integration of humanities and psychoanalysis.

Jung's Nietzsche: Zarathustra, The Red Book, and “Visionary” Works
by Gaia DomeniciThis book explores C.G. Jung's complex relationship with Friedrich Nietzsche through the lens of the so-called 'visionary' literary tradition. The book connects Jung's experience of the posthumously published Liber Novus (The Red Book) with his own (mis)understanding of Nietzsche's Zarathustra, and formulates the hypothesis of Jung considering Zarathustra as Nietzsche's Liber Novus –– both works being regarded by Jung as 'visionary' experiences. After exploring some 'visionary' authors often compared by Jung to Nietzsche (Goethe, Hölderlin, Spitteler, F. T. Vischer), the book focuses upon Nietzsche and Jung exclusively. It analyses stylistic similarities, as well as explicit references to Nietzsche and Zarathustra in Liber Novus, drawing on Jung's annotations in his own copy of Zarathustra. The book then uses Liber Novus as a prism to contextualize and understand Jung's five-year seminar on Zarathustra: all the nuances of Jung's interpretation of Zarathustra can be fully explained, only when compared with Liber Novus and its symbology. One of the main topics of the book concerns the figure of 'Christ' and Nietzsche's and Jung's understandings of the 'death of God.'
Jung's Philosophy: Controversies, Quantum Mechanics, and the Self
by Lionel Corbett‘Jung’s Philosophy’ explores some of the controversial philosophical ideas that are both explicit and implicit within Jung’s psychology, comparing the philosophical assumptions between this and other psychotherapeutic traditions. Within this book, Corbett provides a useful introduction to the philosophical issues relevant to the practice of analytical psychology, and how these are viewed by different psychotherapeutic traditions. Most of the disagreement between schools of psychotherapy, and much of the comparative literature, centres around differences in theory and technique. This book takes a different, more fundamental approach by comparing schools of thought based on their underlying philosophical commitments. The author discusses the philosophical basis of various worldviews such as idealism and realism, beliefs about the nature of the psyche and the unconscious, and the mind-brain relationship, and focuses on the way in which Jung’s psychology addresses these and related issues, including the possible relevance of quantum mechanics to depth psychology. This text will be of value to practising psychotherapists and Jungian analysts, individuals undertaking the relevant training, and students in depth psychology.

Juniper: The Girl Who Was Born Too Soon
by Thomas French Kelley FrenchA micro-preemie fights for survival in this extraordinary and gorgeously told memoir by her parents, both award-winning journalists. Juniper French was born four months early, at 23 weeks' gestation. She weighed 1 pound, 4 ounces, and her twiggy body was the length of a Barbie doll. Her head was smaller than a tennis ball, her skin was nearly translucent, and through her chest you could see her flickering heart. Babies like Juniper, born at the edge of viability, trigger the question: Which is the greater act of love -- to save her, or to let her go? Kelley and Thomas French chose to fight for Juniper's life, and this is their incredible tale. In one exquisite memoir, the authors explore the border between what is possible and what is right. They marvel at the science that conceived and sustained their daughter and the love that made the difference. They probe the bond between a mother and a baby, between a husband and a wife. They trace the journey of their family from its fragile beginning to the miraculous survival of their now thriving daughter.

Juno's Aeneid: A Battle for Heroic Identity (Martin Classical Lectures #36)
by Joseph FarrellA major new interpretation of Vergil's epic poem as a struggle between two incompatible versions of the Homeric heroThis compelling book offers an entirely new way of understanding the Aeneid. Many scholars regard Vergil's poem as an attempt to combine Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey into a single epic. Joseph Farrell challenges this view, revealing how the Aeneid stages an epic contest to determine which kind of story it will tell—and what kind of hero Aeneas will be.Farrell shows how this contest is provoked by the transgressive goddess Juno, who challenges Vergil for the soul of his hero and poem. Her goal is to transform the poem into an Iliad of continuous Trojan persecution instead of an Odyssey of successful homecoming. Farrell discusses how ancient critics considered the flexible Odysseus the model of a good leader but censured the hero of the Iliad, the intransigent Achilles, as a bad one. He describes how the battle over which kind of leader Aeneas will prove to be continues throughout the poem, and explores how this struggle reflects in very different ways on the ethical legitimacy of Rome’s emperor, Caesar Augustus.By reframing the Aeneid in this way, Farrell demonstrates how the purpose of the poem is to confront the reader with an urgent decision between incompatible possibilities and provoke uncertainty about whether the poem is a celebration of Augustus or a melancholy reflection on the discontents of a troubled age.
