Attachment and Loss in the Works of James Joyce
Using John Bowlby's Attachment Theory as a frame of reference, Attachment and Loss in the Works of James Joyce critically analyzes James Joyce's representation of grief. Based on cognitive, emotional and behavioral elements, Attachment Theory allows for new and innovative readings to emerge which differ from those offered by Freudian, Lacanian, and Jungian paradigms. Acknowledging the importance of the Theory of Mind and Reader Response, this book uses the concept of internal working models to elucidate how the childhood experiences with which Joyce has endowed his protagonists ultimately leads to how they respond to loss. The texts of Dubliners, Portrait of the Artist and Ulysses, show how central separation and loss were to Joyce’s work. It provides examples of such experiences in different age groups, under differing circumstances and at different stages in the grief process. Attachment Theory highlights the complexity of human relationships throughout the life cycle, not only how they can affect the grief process but how grief affects them.
Death in Dublin During the Era of James Joyce’s Ulysses
The funeral of Paddy Dignam in James Joyce’s Ulysses serves as the pivotal event of the ‘Hades’ episode. This volume explores how Dignam’s interment in Glasnevin Cemetery allowed Joyce the freedom to consider the conventions, rituals and superstitions associated with death and burial in Dublin. Integrating the words and characters of Ulysses with its figurative locale, the book looks at the presence of Dublin in Ulysses, and Ulysses in Dublin. It emphasises the highly visible public role assigned to death in Joyce’s world, while also appreciating how it is woven into the universe of Ulysses. The study examines the role of Glasnevin Cemetery – where the Joyce family plot was opene...
O Amor de Andrew
Dr. Andrew Lowman é um oftalmologista australiano que tem uma paixão por restaurar a visão daqueles que de outra forma suportariam a vida com problemas de visão ou cegueira. As instalações médicas não são facilmente acessíveis nos espaços abertos e no isolamento do outback, onde o ar é quente, as moscas são abundantes e a vida é difícil para quem está em terra. Graças ao Flying Doctor Service, Andrew e sua equipe são levados de avião para uma fazenda de gado perto de Bourke, NSW, onde realizam uma clínica regular para os aborígenes e outras pessoas nas terras da região. Seu tempo é dividido entre duas estações e a própria cidade de Bourke. Eles seguem essa rotina a cada duas semanas, prestando ao sertão um serviço que de outra forma não receberia. Torne-se parte do outback – a terra que eles chamam de lar. Uma terra tão bela quanto agreste. Uma terra que conquista o coração de todos aqueles que nela vivem.

On Reflection
Ellen Rose seeks to initiate a much-needed discussion about what reflection is and should be. The word crops up repeatedly in the discourse of teaching and learning, but its meaning is often vague. True reflection -- deep, sustained thought that takes place in conditions of solitude and silence -- has been undermined by new technologies that speed up the flow information and the pace of life, as well as by contemporary schooling that unreflectively embraces technological and market imperatives in the name of outcomes, efficiencies, and the preparation of a global workforce. Drawing on a wide range of thinkers, past and present, Rose outlines the important role reflective thought can play in the classroom and in the world at large, and makes a powerful case for slowing down and returning to our thoughts.

The Composer, Herself
This edited volume presents 27 original essays by living composers from all around the globe, reflecting on the creation of their music. Coterminous to the recent worldwide resurgence in feminist focus, the distinctive feature of this collection is the “snapshots” of creative processes and conceptualizing on the part of women who write music, writing in the present day, from prominent early-career composers to major figures, from a range of ethnic backgrounds in the contemporary music field. The chapters step into the juncture point at which feminism finds itself: as binary conceptions of gender are being dissolved, with critiques of the attendant gender-based historical generalizations ...
Information History - An Introduction
This is a pioneering introduction to the emergent field of information history. It explores how the contemporary values and concerns of our own information society have helped lead to a reconsideration of our history, and of what constitutes our historical understanding of information in the twenty-first century.
