Attachment and psychopathology

Leslie Atkinson (Ph. D.),Kenneth J. Zucker
This volume applies attachment theory and methods to extend our understanding and prediction of psychopathology. Studies of such populations as divorced mothers, chronically ill infants, Romanian adoptees, children of mothers with anxiety disorders, and boys with gender identity disorder reveal a variety of clinical implications and highlight issues for attachment theory. Chapters utilize research into a recently discovered form of attachment, the disorganized pattern, as well as new technologies for classifying attachment security beyond infancy. This book should be of interest to practioners, researchers, and students of clinical and developmental psychology, psychiatry, pediatrics, and social work, as well as other professionals concerned with human development.

Antisemitism today: how it is the same, how it is different, and how to fight it

Stern, Kenneth S.
What is new in present-day antisemitism is not the forms, which remain religion- and race-based and political, but the circumstances, including the aftermath of the breakup of the USSR and new demographic realities, especially the Arab/Muslim presence and propaganda in the West. Summarizes data on recent antisemitic expressions around the world. Surveys Europe, the Arab and Muslim worlds, and the USA (especially the scene on college campuses). At the 2001 Durban Conference, anti-racism was manipulated to serve anti-Zionist and general antisemitic purposes. Further, the events of 9/11 were sometimes interpreted, especially in the Arab/Muslim world, as the result of a Jewish conspiracy. Recommends ways of responding to antisemitism, as adopted by the American Jewish Committee; e.g. focusing on the type of antisemitism and its venue in order to devise counter strategies, including diplomacy and cooperation rather than confrontation. Recommends independent research to determine the effectiveness of strategies and, in view of some studies, questions the long-range usefulness of Holocaust education as a tool for reducing antisemitism.

Not to be missed: fifty-four favorites from a lifetime of film

Turan, Kenneth
"As a child in 1950s Brooklyn, Kenneth Turan often turned to television programs like "Million Dollar Movie" on WOR-TV. Featuring a much-loved theme song from Gone with the Wind, "Million Dollar Movie" would run one feature film twice a day, every day, all week. It was there that he developed a life-long love of the world of the movies. One of the most discerning critics writing today, Kenneth Turan offers insights that are sure to delight and inspire movie-lovers of all kinds in his latest book, Unforgettable. As sophisticated and illuminating as the films they discuss, Turan's sketches are a blend of cultural analysis, historical anecdote and sordid Hollywood controversy, astute critical appraisals, all suffused with his abiding love for the silver screen. Turan's favorite films range across all genres, low and high. From All About Eve to Seven Samurai to Spirited Away, these are now timeless films--classic and contemporary, familiar and obscure, with big budgets and small--each as interesting as the lives of the authors and actors that made the usually two-or-so-hour-long cinematic experience itself"--

Sundance to Sarajevo

Turan, Kenneth
Almost every day of the year a film festival takes place somewhere in the world--from sub-Saharan Africa to the Land of the Midnight Sun. Sundance to Sarajevo is a tour of the world's film festivals by an insider whose familiarity with the personalities, places, and culture surrounding the cinema makes him uniquely suited to his role. Kenneth Turan, film critic for the Los Angeles Times, writes about the most unusual as well as the most important film festivals, and the cities in which they occur, with an eye toward the larger picture. His lively narrative emphasizes the cultural, political, and sociological aspects of each event as well as the human stories that influence the various and telling ways the film world and the real world intersect. Of the festivals profiled in detail, Cannes and Sundance are obvious choices as the biggest, brashest, and most influential of the bunch. The others were selected for their ability to open a window onto a wider, more diverse world and cinema's place in it. Sometimes, as with Sarajevo and Havana, film is a vehicle for understanding the international political community's most vexing dilemmas. Sometimes, as with Burkina Faso's FESPACO and Pordenone's Giornate del Cinema Muto, it's a chance to examine the very nature of the cinematic experience. But always the stories in this book show us that film means more and touches deeper chords than anyone might have expected. No other book explores so many different festivals in such detail or provides a context beyond the merely cinematic.

Male fantasies

Theweleit, Klaus
This is the second volume of Theweleit's extraordinary study of the fantasies of some of the men centrally involved in the rise of Nazism. The author develops his account by focusing on the representation of masculinity and homosexuality and their relation to the preparations for and conduct of war. He offers a psychoanalytic interpretation of the role of warfare as a search for sensation without desire or pleasure, leading to an image of the body which emphasizes hardness, self-discipline and, ultimately, violence. This is much more than a book about culture of warfare: it is about sexuality and power, about gender, representation and violence. It is a document of our times which will be of interest to anyone concerned with modern history, contemporary politics and social, political and literary theory.

The Bride

Ladislav Grosman
What really happened that long night Liza hid in a neighbors haystack? “What had she done, what was her crime? Was this a hiding place for a human being who, whatever the incomprehensible reason, was no longer a human being in the world?” In a small Slovak town, it was no laughing matter to be an old maid. There was no denying that tongues wagged behind Liza’s back. She was getting on in years. Then one day in 1942 everything changed. Liza would never be the same again. The Nazis announced a “registration” of all unmarried Jewish girls. A shy boy willing to play groom and a make-believe wedding ceremony planned to save her from the Nazis add up to an ironic fulfillment of Liza’s long-frustrated dreams.
