Situation critical : critique, theory, and early American studies / by Cavitch, Max,editor.; Connolly, Brian,1974-editor.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: situation critical / Max Cavitch and Brian Connolly -- Theory for Early America -- Psychoanalysis and the indeterminacy of history / Joan W. Scott -- Foucault's Oedipus / Michael Meranze -- Subjects of Early America -- Annoyances, tolerable and intolerable / Ana Schwartz -- Michael Wigglesworth's queer orthography / Christopher Looby -- George Whitefield's sexual character / Mark J. Miller -- Fantasies of realism -- Secularism, hypocrisy, and the afterlives of Thomas Paine / Justine S. Murison -- No matter: persisting rationalisms in Antebellum black thought / Britt Rusert -- Queering abolition / Jordan Alexander Stein -- Power, knowledge, justice -- Equity in the time of Moby-Dick / Matthew Crow -- Antebellum or interbellum? / John J. Garcia."The contributors to Situation Critical argue for the continued importance of critique to Early American studies, pushing back against both reductivist neo-empiricism and so-called postcritique. Bringing together essays by a diverse group of historians and literary scholars, editors Max Cavitch and Brian Connolly demonstrate that critique is about acknowledging that we are never simply writing better or worse accounts of the past, but accounts of the present as well. The contributors examine topics ranging from the indeterminacy of knowledge and history to Black speculative writing and nineteenth-century epistemology, the role of the unconscious in settler colonialism, and early American writing about masturbation, repression, religion, and secularism and their respective influence on morality. The contributors also offer vital new interpretations of major lines of thought in the history of critique-especially those relating to Freud and Foucault-that will be valuable both for scholars of Early American studies and for scholars of the humanities and interpretive social sciences more broadly." -- Provided by publisher.

Freud in his time and ours / by Roudinesco, Elisabeth,1944-author.(CARDINAL)730339; Porter, Catherine,1941-translator.(CARDINAL)492194;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Part One. The life -- Beginnings -- Loves, tempests, ambitions -- The invention of psychoanalysis -- Part Two. The conquest -- The Belle Epoque -- Disciples and dissidents -- The discovery of America -- The war of nations -- Part Three. At home -- Dark enlightenment -- Families, dogs, objects -- The art of the couch -- Among women -- Part Four. The final years -- Between fetish medicine and religion -- Facing Hitler -- Death at work.Élisabeth Roudinesco offers a bold and modern reinterpretation of the iconic founder of psychoanalysis. Based on new archival sources, this is Freud's biography for the twenty-first century--a critical appraisal, at once sympathetic and impartial, of a genius greatly admired and yet greatly misunderstood in his own time and in ours. Roudinesco traces Freuds life from his upbringing as the eldest of eight siblings in a prosperous Jewish-Austrian household to his final days in London, a refugee of the Nazis' annexation of his homeland. She recreates the milieu of fin de siecle Vienna in the waning days of the Habsburg Empire--an era of extraordinary artistic innovation, given luster by such luminaries as Gustav Klimt, Stefan Zweig, and Gustav Mahler. In the midst of it all, at the modest residence of Berggasse 19, Freud pursued his clinical investigation of nervous disorders, blazing a path into the unplumbed recesses of human consciousness and desire. Yet this revolutionary who was overthrowing cherished notions of human rationality and sexuality was, in his politics and personal habits, in many ways conservative, Roudinesco shows. In his chauvinistic attitudes toward women, and in his stubborn refusal to acknowledge the growing threat of Hitler until it was nearly too late, even the analytically-minded Freud had his blind spots. Alert to his intellectual complexity--the numerous tensions in his character and thought that remained unresolved--Roudinesco ultimately views Freud less as a scientific thinker than as the master interpreter of civilization and culture.

A death in Vienna / by Tallis, Frank,author.(CARDINAL)381319;
In Vienna at the turn of the twentieth century, Max Liebermann is at the forefront of psychoanalysis, practicing the controversial new science with all the skill of a master detective. Every dream, inflection, or slip of tongue in his "hysterical" patients has meaning and reveals some hidden truth. When a mysterious and beautiful medium dies under extraordinary circumstances, Max's good friend, Detective Oskar Rheinhardt, calls for his expert assistance. The medium's body has been found in a room that can only be locked from the inside. Her body has been shot, but there's no gun and absolutely no trace of a bullet. On a table lies a suicide note, claiming that there is "such a thing as forbidden knowledge." All signs point to a supernatural killer, but Liebermann the scientist is not so easily convinced. Set in the Vienna of Freud, Klimt, and Mahler, a time of unprecedented activity in the worlds of philosophy, science, and art, A Death in Vienna is an elegantly written novel, taut with suspense and rich in historical details.

The life and opinions of Maf the dog, and of his friend Marilyn Monroe / by O'Hagan, Andrew,1968-(CARDINAL)355403;
In November 1960, Frank Sinatra gave Marilyn Monroe a dog. His name was Mafia Honey, or Maf for short. He had an instinct for celebrity. For politics. For psychoanalysis. For literature. For interior decoration. For Liver Treat with a side order of National Biscuits. Born in the household of Vanessa Bell, brought to the United States by Natalie Wood's mother, given as a Christmas present to Marilyn the winter after she separated from Arthur Miller, Maf offers a keen insight into the world of Hollywood's greatest star. Not to mention a hilarious peek into the brain of an opinionated, well-read, politically scrappy, complex canine hero. Maf was with Marilyn for the last two years of her life, first in New York, where she mixed with everyone who was anyone - the art dealer Leo Castelli, Lee Strasberg and the Actor's Studio crowd, Upper West Side émigrés - then back to Los Angeles. She took him to meet President Kennedy and to Hollywood restaurants, department stores, and interviews. To Mexico, for her divorce. With style, brilliance, and panache, Andrew O'Hagan has drawn an altogether original portrait of the woman behind the icon, and the dog behind the woman.

Becoming Freud : the making of a psychoanalyst / by Phillips, Adam,1954-(CARDINAL)808589;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Freud's impossible life: an introduction -- Freud from the beginning -- Freud goes to Paris -- Freud begins to dream -- Psychoanalysis comes out."Becoming Freud is the story of the young Freud--Freud up until the age of fifty--that incorporates all of Freud's many misgivings about the art of biography. Freud invented a psychological treatment that involved the telling and revising of life stories, but he was himself skeptical of the writing of such stories. In this biography, Adam Phillips, whom the New Yorker calls "Britain's foremost psychoanalytical writer," emphasizes the largely and inevitably undocumented story of Freud's earliest years as the oldest-and favored-son of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe and suggests that the psychoanalysis Freud invented was, among many other things, a psychology of the immigrant--increasingly, of course, everybody's status in the modern world. Psychoanalysis was also Freud's way of coming to terms with the fate of the Jews in Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. So as well as incorporating the writings of Freud and his contemporaries, Becoming Freud also uses the work of historians of the Jews in Europe in this significant period in their lives, a period of unprecedented political freedom and mounting persecution. Phillips concludes by speculating what psychoanalysis might have become if Freud had died in 1906, before the emergence of a psychoanalytic movement over which he had to preside"--Provided by publisher.

The first chronological survey covering all art forms from colonial times to the present to publish in over a decade, it explores issues of racial identity and representation in artistic expression, while also emphasizing aesthetics and visual analysis to help students develop an understanding and appreciation of African-American art that is informed but not entirely defined by racial identity. Through a carefully selected collection of creative works and accompanying analyses, the text also addresses crucial gaps in the scholarly literature, incorporating women artists from the beginning and including coverage of photography, crafts, and architecture in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as well as twenty-first century developments. All in all, African American Art: A Visual and Cultural History offers a fresh and compelling look at the great variety of artistic expression found in the African-American community.
