Spirited Histories
Spirited Histories combines ethnography with critical theory to provide a sophisticated exploration of the intersection of haunting and the paranormal with technology, media, and history. Retrieving the past in places of trauma and death can take on many facets. One of these is an attention to hauntings, ghosts, and absences that go with the collective experience of loss and disappearance. People memorialize the dead and their stories in myriad ways. But what about the untold stories, or the forgotten, unnamed? This book explores the ways groups of Chilean paranormal investigators and ghost tour operators produce alternate histories using paranormal machinery, rather than simply theatricalizing pain. It offers a look at technologies, machines, and apparatuses – themselves imbued with a long history of supernatural and scientific expectations – and a social analysis of how certain groups of people marshal the voices of the dead to generate particular micro-histories. This fascinating volume will be of interest to a range of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, history, religious studies, and scholars of technology and new media.
Mapping Scientific Method
This volume explores how the scientific method enters and determines the dominant methodologies of various modern academic disciplines. It highlights the ways in which practitioners from different disciplinary backgrounds –– the humanities, the natural sciences, and the social sciences –– engage with the scientific method in their own disciplines. The book maps the discourse (within each of the disciplines) that critiques the scientific method, from different social locations, in order to argue for more complex and nuanced approaches in methodology. It also investigates the connections between the method and the structures of power and domination which exist within these disciplines....

Esta pequeña antología pone a disposición de sus lectores un puñado escogido de páginas de autores significativos para la Historia de la Psicología. Con ella se aspira a ofrecer una visión más próxima de sus planteamientos e ideas de lo que la distanciada exposición de los manuales hace posible.

Jungian Music Psychotherapy
Music is everywhere in our lives and all analysts are witness to musical symbols arising from their patient's psyche. However, there is a common resistance to working directly with musical content. Combining a wide range of clinical vignettes with analytic theory, Kroeker takes an in-depth look at the psychoanalytic process through the lens of musical expression and puts forward an approach to working with musical symbols within analysis, which he calls Archetypal Music Psychotherapy (AMP). Kroeker argues that we have lost our connection to the simple, vital immediacy that musical expression offers. By distilling music into its basic archetypal elements, he illustrates how to rediscover our ...
Governamentalidade e Práticas Psicológicas
O que o governo, tema da vida coletiva, tem a ver com a psicologia, ciência da vida privada? Se seguíssemos a filosofia política tradicional, a partir de uma tentativa de justificar ou legitimar os dispositivos de soberania do Estado, não encontraríamos qualquer conexão. A perspectiva muda quando tomamos o conceito de governo como "genealogia do Estado moderno", projeto empreendido por Michel Foucault, no final dos anos 1970. Esse projeto foi retomado por inúmeros outros autores, como Michel Senellart, Graham Burchel, Colin Gordon, Peter Miller e Nikolas Rose. Para evitar a confusão com outros possíveis conceitos de governo, Foucault usa o termo "governamentalidade", enquanto "manei...
The Cambridge Handbook of Sociocultural Psychology
Sociocultural psychology is a discipline located at the crossroads between the natural and social sciences and the humanities. This international overview of the field provides an antireductionist and comprehensive account of how experience and behaviour arise from human action with cultural materials in social practices. The outcome is a vision of the dynamics of sociocultural and personal life in which time and developmental constructive transformations are crucial. This second edition provides expanded coverage of how particular cultural artefacts and social practices shape experience and behaviour in the realms of art and aesthetics, economics, history, religion and politics. Special attention is also paid to the development of identity, the self and personhood throughout the lifespan, while retaining the emphasis on experience and development as key features of sociocultural psychology.
Libertad y psicología
Las tensiones que emergen entre la libertad y la psicología generan dinámicas y movimientos que permiten, genealógicamente, comprender diversas trayectorias y emergencias, procedencias y búsquedas cuya complejidad mantiene una permanente invitación a la investigación, a la reflexión y a la transformación. La práctica educativa, asumida como ejercicio de la libertad, al mejor estilo del formador brasilero Paulo Freire, parece ser la razón de fondo que tienen los autores de este libro, preocupados por comprender las relaciones entre la psicología y la libertad como un horizonte de significación, para reflexionar sobre estos temas.
The Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions
This book traces the journey taken by the Canadian Province of Our Lady of the Missions (RNDM) from their establishment in Manitoba in 1898 until 2008, when the congregation as a whole redefined its mission and vision. Using archival research conducted in Winnipeg, Manitoba as well as in England and Italy, and incorporating oral interviews with RNDM sisters, this book explores the historical work of sisters in schools and the part they played in the educational state in formation. The details of the congregation's activity in schools show how the sisters' educational work was related to the social characteristics of the communities (e.g., those of French Canadian settlers, British immigrants...
CUERPOS, EMOCIONES, EXPERIMENTACIÓN Y PSICOLOGÍA
Este libro alberga la primera traducción larga de la psicóloga y filósofa de la ciencia belga Vinciane Despret. En él, ni los cuerpos ni las emociones ni la experimentación (en su doble sentido de experimentar y hacer experimentos) ni la psicología se tratan de una manera sustancialista. El enfoque es radicalmente relacional y no presupone fronteras disciplinares ni realidades preexistentes. En conjunto, el libro pretende constituir una introducción a la obra de la autora. En sus páginas se resumen prácticamente todos los temas en que ha trabajado.
