Vincenzo Tomeo’s pioneering research in the 1960s and 1970s drew attention to the importance of popular culture in our understanding of the operation of the justice system. He was the first to recognize that how laws are interpreted and put into effect depends heavily on how the public understand them. This understanding comes from the ideas and understanding which the public have about the justice system. These ideas, in an era of mass popular culture, come largely from film. In his groundbreaking research he examined how judges and the police were viewed in popular film. He also stressed the importance of popular culture as opposed to classical accounts of law and justice and showed how these meshed with law and justice on film. The Judge on the Screen preceded the attention paid to popular culture by over a decade and provided empirical data some thirty years before any such work was carried out by Anglo-American and other European scholars. This classic work now appears for the first time in an English translation with additional supporting materials.
Encompassing diverse perspectives on the psychoanalyst as individual, social being, and member of psychoanalytic institutions, this book provides practical and informed answers to the question of how psychoanalysts can take care of their psychoanalytic institutions.

Clearly highlighted in the book is Ferro’s theory that transformation in dreams is the activity which is constantly carried out in the mind of the analyst, who nullifies the reality-status of the patient’s communication and considers the patient’s narrative as a dream which must be constructed in real time in the encounter b...

Pía Montalva nos ofrece en este libro sobre la moda la reconstrucción de una esfera femenina propia y específica, un espacio de autonomía en medio del oleaje que lo desbordaba todo. El recorrido comienza a principios de los años 60, cuando las chilenas aceptaban modelos impuestos desde afuera; le sigue aquella época de vertiginosos cambios representada por una moda sin pautas donde todo cabe, para terminar el ciclo en los años que siguen al Golpe de Estado, con el intento de imponer rígidas normas. Una escritura ágil, con enorme capacidad de síntesis, acompaña todo el texto, junto a una notable evocación del tono de época -especialmente entre el 68 y el 73-, la que se acompaña ...
