Culture Strike
A leading activist museum director explains why museums are at the center of a political storm In an age of protest, cultural institutions have come under fire. Protestors have mobilized against sources of museum funding, as happened at the Metropolitan Museum, and against board appointments, forcing tear gas manufacturer Warren Kanders to resign at the Whitney. That is to say nothing of demonstrations against exhibitions and artworks. Protests have roiled institutions across the world, from the Abu Dhabi Guggenheim to the Akron Art Museum. A popular expectation has grown that galleries and museums should work for social change. As Director of the Queens Museum, Laura Raicovich helped turn t...
Heritage as an action word: Uses beyond communal memory
There is no limit to what constitutes heritage. By definition, heritage is the use of the past for present purposes. Yet, to any given group or population, heritage can be a multitude of things and can serve a variety of purposes. Based on shared memory, heritage can be tangible or intangible, boundless in variety and scope: it can be, for example, objects, landscapes, food or clothing, music or dance, sites or statues, monuments or buildings. Importantly, however, heritage also has many and varied uses and powers. It can be used to control, to unite, to engage, and to empower people, communities, and nations. In this interdisciplinary volume, authors from around the world explore how differ...

O processo de individuação através da espiritualidade
Este livro tem como objetivo ajudar a demonstrar o papel significativo da espiritualidade como caminho ao Processo de Individuação elaborado por Jung, ao demonstrar sua importância sobre os acontecimentos na vida humana, as dificuldades em relação ao sentido existencial, e sua contribuição para a estrada ao Eu mais profundo. A espiritualidade atua como fator unitivo do próprio sujeito e o reintegra à sua totalidade. Ao longo da obra, pesquisou-se a relação da espiritualidade em três esferas: em relação ao Processo de Individuação (resgate axiológico do ser pessoa); como caminho para o Si-mesmo e para o Transcendente (simbiose entre autocuidado e espiritualidade), e para o encontro com o Eu mais profundo (transcendência do ser, encontro imagético de si como vivente realizado). Com a reflexão chega-se à conclusão de que não podemos nos distanciar de nossa essência e de nossa razão, Mythos e Logos, ambas contribuem para a resolução dos mecanismos psíquicos: Id, Ego e Super-Ego, e colaboram para se chegar ao Self.
