L'intranquillité
Et si nos vies ne se suffisaient jamais d'être "tranquilles", au repos... Si, finalement, l'inquiétude, la curiosité, l'interrogation voire le doute, étaient les vrais moteurs de toute existence humaine en recherche ? Marion Muller-Collard propose ici une méditation qui peut s'adresser à tous, croyants ou non, et nous conduit à faire de notre "intranquillité" l'occasion d'une plus grande confiance, d'une disponibilité à l'imprévu, à ce qui arrive.
Egocracy
This book tries to bring together the work of Marx, Freud and Lacan. It does this not by enumerating what might stereotypically be considered to be the central theses of these authors and then proceeding to combine them – a method that is inevitably doomed to failure – but instead by confronting each one of their oeuvres with what might best be described as its extimate core. The work of Marx is confronted with a problematic that implicitly, and at times even explicitly, runs throughout it: that of the splitting, dividing and doubling (or, perhaps better, knotting) of the (proletarian) subject. The work of Freud is confronted – following on from this analysis of Marx – with the hidden social and historical determination of its own most revolutionary insight, that »the nucleus of the ego is unconscious«; and this social and historical determination itself in turn allows for a reinscription of the three fundamental categories of Lacanian psychoanalysis: the symbolic, the imaginary and the real.
Brokenness and Reconciliation
Too often we see reality in black and white, overlooking nuances that require the discernment of tensions between the brokenness of our world and our desires for reconciliation. Yet the gap between wounding words and actions and the hope for acts of reconciliation can lead to even more violence and despair. The authors of this volume explore these tensions and the valences of ‘brokenness’ and ‘reconciliation’ in Paul Tillich’s thought. Together, they contribute to a richer understanding of the thought of the German American theologian and philosopher, his commitments, and the constructive interpretations his work can induce for us today. Think of the ruptures and efforts of dialogu...
Liminal Spaces and Ethical Challenges
This collection moves from COVID to Kairos, engaged with the legacy of Paul Tillich. Liminal spaces reflect ambiguous transitional moments in human consciousness and culture. In early 2020, cultures and states turned inward for protection, exacerbating intertwined health, political, racial justice, and economic crises. Tillich would have understood these overlapping challenges to be heralding a kairotic moment, reflecting simultaneous crises and opportunities. The collected essays reflect on the intersections of COVID and Kairos. Authors engage numerous ethical challenges precipitated by the current Kairos moment, thinking through and with Tillich. Other essays offer reflections on our cultural moment, engaging topics from public health to video games to hate speech. Reflecting on the cultural moment, this collection offers unique insight into the Tillichian legacy for the present and future.
Animal Castle #1
On the Farm all animals were equal. In the Castle some are more equal than others. For fans of the bestselling Stray Dogs and the Eisner Award winning Beasts of Burden comes an animal fable at once familiar and surprising! You may think you know the story but set aside your assumptions, this animal uprising is unlike any you have read! Nestled in the heart of a farm forgotten by men, the Animal Castle is ruled with an iron hoof by President Silvio. The bull and its dog militia savor their power, while the other animals are exhausted by work, until the arrival of the mysterious Azelard, a traveling rat who will teach them the secrets of civil disobedience.
Le plein silence
Dans ce texte éminemment intime et poétique, Marion Muller-Colard nous narre, avec une plume tour à tour espiègle et poignante, sa retraite de huit jours dans un centre jésuite, au pied de la Chartreuse. C'est alors l'expérience du jeûne, du silence, un retour sur soi, et surtout : la confrontation avec Dieu. Ce Dieu que l'auteure concevait enfant comme "un gros oeil noir", voilà qu'elle le découvre maître d'art martial, enseignant la souplesse, le relâchement, et l'humilité. Au bout de huit jours de combat spirituel et physique, Marion Muller-Colard redécouvre le coeur de sa foi, empreint de relâchement, et de gratitude. Le texte est accompagné d'aquarelles de Francine Carrillo.
Als mir das Licht unerträglich wurde
«Ich hatte nichts verloren und war nicht krank, als die Klage mich in den Abgrund zog und mich aus dem Kreis der Lebenden verstiess. Die grösste Bedrohung meines Lebens war Vergangenheit: Der Sommer, als mir das Licht unerträglich wurde, hätte zu einem einzigen Fest werden sollen. Der erste Sommer meines Sohns, an dessen Atemzügen wir den ganzen Winter gehangen hatten.» Als Marion Muller-Colards zwei Monate alter Sohn lebensbedrohlich erkrankt, folgt eine lange Zeit voller Hoffen und Bangen. Das Kind wird schliesslich wider Erwarten gesund, aber die junge Mutter, von Beruf Pfarrerin, stürzt in eine tiefe Depression. Sie erträgt weder das Licht des Sommers, noch sind ihr die Hilfsangebote von Freunden und Familie eine Stütze. Ihr Gefühl der Ohnmacht ist übermächtig. Berührend und poetisch erzählt die Seelsorgerin, wie sie eine andere Art, zu glauben, einen anderen Gott findet: einen, der nicht für die Sicherheit der Menschen garantiert, sondern für die Widerstandskraft des Lebens.
Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa
The prevalence of eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia nervosa is growing, and these disorders are affecting adolescents and young adults at increasingly younger ages. This has led to a greater number of patients presenting to health services. Although novel therapeutic approaches have been introduced in recent decades, the mortality rates of patients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa remain alarmingly high. The course of anorexia nervosa in particular is often chronic and can lead to persistent disability. This book covers the clinical features and symptoms, neurobiology, pathophysiology, and current and potential future treatment options for both anorexia and bulimia nervosa. It also highlights the important aspects of support for families and their perspectives on these disorders.

Socialism of Fools
In Socialism of Fools, Michele Battini focuses on the critical moment during the Enlightenment in which anti-Jewish stereotypes morphed into a sophisticated, modern social anti-Semitism. He recovers the potent anti-Jewish, anticapitalist propaganda that cemented the idea of a Jewish conspiracy in the European mind and connects it to the atrocities that characterized the Jewish experience in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Beginning in the eighteenth century, counter-Enlightenment intellectuals and intransigent Catholic writers singled out Jews for conspiring to exploit self-sustaining markets and the liberal state. These ideas spread among socialist and labor movements in the ninetee...
