Humanity in Psychology
This book is aimed at appreciating and further developing the work of Pina Boggi Cavallo. She was a scholar that fully embodied the spirit of the first cognitive revolution in psychology, whose ideal was to consider human being in its totality. The focus of scientific investigation in her work, were the processes of thought, as connected to the affective and ethical dimensions, the social construction of the developing Self within the real context of its making. The book is organized in three sections: Sowing: the selected works of Pina Boggi Cavallo translated in English; Fertilizing: invited commentaries which develop the ideas of Pina Boggi Cavallo in the current and future scientific landscape; Cultivating: invited chapters by international scholars, including some who collaborated with her.
Ephemeral Territories
What does it mean to be at home? In a critical engagement with notions of territory, identity, racial difference, separatism, multiculturalism, and homelessness, this book delves into the question of what it means to belong--in particular, what it means to be at home in Canada. Ephemeral Territories weaves together many narratives and representations of Canadian identity--from political philosophy and cultural theory to art and films such as Srinivas Krishna's Lulu, Clement Virgo's Rude, and Charles Biname's Eldorado--to develop and complicate familiar views of identity and selfhood. Canadian identity has historically been linked to a dual notion of culture traceable to the French and Englis...
Pragmatika
Vymezení pojmu pragmatika, lingvistická pragmatika či pragmalingvistika je ve svých základech poněkud rozporné: existuje množství rozmanitých definic. Nicméně jevy, které bývají pod tyto termíny zahrnovány, patří k zásadním otázkám, tématům a problémům spojeným s komunikací a s užíváním jazyka a zájem o jejich zkoumání v lingvistice stále narůstá. Jako uživatelé jazyka máme s jevy zkoumanými v rámci pragmatiky každodenní zkušenost, jejich dobré zvládnutí nám usnadňuje komunikaci, naopak potíže v dané oblasti mohou snadno vést k nedorozumění či konfliktům. Ovládnutí pragmatiky bývá jednou z nejobtížnějších oblastí při učení se cizímu jazyku a též bývá náročné tuto problematiku někoho prakticky učit. Pochopení pragmatických témat tak může být přínosné nejen z hlediska teoretického, ale může mít i výrazně pozitivní praktické důsledky.

Postmodernism and the Ethical Subject
Writing across the disciplines of sociology, literature, film, anthropology, and museology, the contributors examine the way in which radical postmodern shifts around knowledge and value have mobilized new relations between ourselves and others and transformed a range of cultural practices. This volume includes philosophical reflections and essays on museums and memory, visual culture, and relations with the other. Postmodernism and the Ethical Subject examines the altered frameworks that simultaneously help us to meet the contemporary challenge and raise the ethical stakes of our historical moment.
Derrida on the Mend
"Magliola's exposition of Derrida has been acclaimed as the best in English. Indeed, it is the only account I know which brings an alert and independent questioning mind to bear on Derrida's arguments, a mind which at times seems to play Kierkegaard into Derrida's Hegel".--"Japanese Journal of Religious Studies".

Asian Faces of Jesus
Although Jesus was born in the western part of Asia, it was not until fifteen hundred years later that Asia experienced the full impact of Jesus' personality and teaching. Western missionaries, the primary transmitters of Christianity, left behind a Western understanding of Jesus. Today, Asians are seeking the face of the original Jesus - his Asian face. For them, all understanding of Jesus arise out of their particular contextual needs. Enriching the Western understanding of Jesus, Asians employ new interpretative resources, cultural symbols, and thought patterns as they make sense of Jesus for their own time and place.
