Bilingual Being
An intimate memoir of a bilingual childhood in Quebec at mid-century that shows how language can reshape a life after trauma.
Rethinking Autism with Dolto
Rethinking Autism with Dolto takes up a principal legacy of Françoise Dolto’s immense project—her conviction that autism is a regression to the archaic. Dolto theorizes that the infant in utero, deep in dreams, is receptive to the audition of “phonemes” during the pre-conscious “archaic stage” of psychosexual maturation. That dream-work on words—an idiosyncratic prehistory at the onset of mental and emotional life—secures the unconscious circulation of affect and the ontogeny of thought long prior to speech, seeding associative thinking and facilitating self-regulation. Kathleen Saint-Onge uses the written work of four nonverbal autistic authors in seeking corroboration for ...
Blessed Days & Nights Of The Islamic Yea
The blessed days, nights, and months are each a distinctive sign of islam. They are celebrated by Muslims all around the world in due respect to their unique worth and sanctity that make them distinct from the rest of the year. Muslims commemorate Prophet Noah and his tireless messengership every year by cooking Ashura pudding and sharing it with their neighbors; they remember the great model of Abraham as the firend of God who displayed the greates example of submission to the Divine Will. Providing essential information about various components of Islamic tradition as the unviersal heritage of human history, we hope this book will serve to the better understanding and mutual respect between members of different faiths.
Discovering Françoise Dolto
This psychobiographical study of the renowned French pediatrician and psychoanalyst Françoise Dolto introduces both her theories of child development and her unique insights into language and identity. A friend of Jacques Lacan’s, Dolto believed that we are all humanized through language, and that the words we use carry unconscious traces of our early histories of love, suffering and desire. Suggesting that infants unconsciously symbolize and that a continuous circulation of unconscious affects—the transference—prevails in all language-based relations, her findings challenge assumptions about autism, autobiography, linguistics, literacy, pedagogy and therapy. Dolto’s own corpus—a rich archive blending the personal and professional—demonstrates this, with echoes between Dolto’s constructs about the child and her own challenging childhood. This fascinating book will not only introduce the work of Françoise Dolto to many readers, but will be a valuable resource for all psychoanalytic researchers and theorists interested in childhood, language and identity.
Bilingual Being
Written by a survivor of childhood abuse, this moving memoir traces the influence of the author's mother tongue in the formation of her identity, and the role her second language played in providing a psychological sanctuary. Kathleen Saint-Onge reflects on the ambiguities of growing up in a primarily French household while attending English schools as she richly recounts the emotional gains and losses of a life lived in two languages. A testament to the power of language in determining feelings of belonging or alienation, Bilingual Being also presents a portrait of the 1960s in Quebec and the changing role of the Catholic Church. Depicting with warmth and humour her own developing independe...
Langages et écritures de l'exil
La réflexion que propose Langages et écritures de l'exil, avec une attention particulière portée à des textes de L'Ouest canadien comme terre d'asile et terre d'exil, cherche à faire ressortir le caractère fondamentalement ambivalent de l'exil, dont Edward Said a pu écrire qu'il « constitue étrangement un sujet de réflexion fascinant », et à témoigner de la propension apodictique de l'esprit humain à dire, à raconter, à construire et à se construire, par la parole ou par l'écriture, des récits qui partagent la souffrance, hurlent l'angoisse, clament une identité, revendiquent une voix. Cet ouvrage collectif regroupe des textes rassemblés à la suite d'un colloque international à l'University of Calgary tenu à l'automne 2014 et placé sous le patronage du Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada, de l'University of Alberta, de l'University of Calgary et de l'Université François-Rabelais de Tours.
