Love A Somatic View

Stanley Keleman
El amor tal como se trata en este libro va más allá de atracciones sexuales, imágenes o ideas. Tiene que ver con la biología, con la sangre. Keleman habla del amor desde un punto de vista evolutivo, psicobiológico, somático. El amor es ante todo una verdad del cuerpo, una realidad somática. La intimidad se basa en compartir la excitación vital interna. El deseo y el altruismo están profundamente enraizados en la vida celular. Aprendemos o ignoramos qué es el amor en nuestro entorno familiar. Aprendemos a amar de niñ amamos como nos amaron y como nos enseñaron a hacerlo. Una respuesta de amor escasa, excesiva o equivocada durante las cuatro etapas básicas de la crianza, el cuidado infantil, el compartir adolescente y la cooperación juvenil, puede alterar la experiencia somática de la personalidad en cuanto a la forma de ser amado y originar en la etapa adulta un carácter rígido, denso, hinchado o colapsado. Estas alteraciones características de la forma natural de amar y ser amado, se reflejan de forma muy precisa en la relación de pareja y en todo caso pueden ser trabajadas en el recinto seguro de la psicoterapia corporal. Stanley Keleman (Brooklyn, Nueva York, 1931) es un psicoterapeuta estadounidense, pionero del estudio del cuerpo y su conexión con los aspectos emocionales, psicológicos, sexuales e imaginativos de la experiencia humana. Ha estado desarrollando la psicología somática desde los años 60. Vive en Berkeley, California, donde trabaja individualmente y con grupos en el Center for Energetic Studies, del cual es director. A través de sus escritos y de la práctica, impartiendo numerosos cursos también cada año en Europa, ha desarrollado una metodología y un marco de referencia conceptual para la vida del cuerpo.

Dear/: a new play

Drexler, Rosalyn
(Applause Books). The script to "one of the most tender yet devastating plays of the Drexlerian oeuvre is the musical romance Dear . It takes place in the Eisenhower Fifties, the early years of television. There is an elegiac quality for the tragicomedy punctuated by the sentimental music of the era...The play is about Jessie Clup, a Queens housewife whose philandering husband has deserted her. Her only culpa is her fixation on Perry Como, the ex-barber, crooner kin, reigning TV star." Rosette Lamont, StageView .

Waiting for the Etonians: reports from the sickbed of liberal England

Cohen, Nick
Selected writings from one of the most important commentators of our generation covering the wreckage of Labour's 10 year love affair with the Right BY THE SUMMER of 2007, Britain was close to crashing. A few onlookers realised the danger, but Britain's political leaders were not among them. Politicians and civil servants boasted that the City's economy was booming because of their 'light-touch regulation' of workers in financial services whose number included potential frauds. Curiously, they never argued that the inner-city economy might boom if there was 'light touch regulation' of workers in the ghettos whose number included potential drug dealers. And artists produced works to match the times. On the same day that Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, the genial Damien Hirst auctioned at Sotheby's pieces he admitted had been mass produced in his studios and buyers still gave him £100 million. Even the critics did not pretend to be interested in what message, if any, Hirst had for his audience, but reported the sale like business reporters covering a soaring stock. For 10 years New Labour stood cross-eyed in admiration as London was turned into the centre of the financial universe. From the sand bags Nick Cohen has watched as they turned their back on the working class, once the object of Utopian hopes on the Left and unreasonable fears on the Right, and lovingly embraced the upper class, once the object of surly contempt on the Left. In Waiting for the Etonians are gathered his selected writings that cover the span of Labour's love affair with the Right and the moral hazard that it has culminated in. It is a romance which has not only broken its traditional bond with the working classes and undermined the very values on which the party was founded, but has now left it with little more to do than warm the seat for the next Conservative Prime Minister.

The Datchet diamonds

Marsh, Richard
Things aren't looking so good for Cyril Paxton. Hoping to earn enough money to finally marry his true love, Daisy Strong, Cyril invests his savings in the stock market, and loses it all. Ruined and on the brink of emigrating to flee his creditors, he reads with amusement a newspaper story telling of the brazen robbery of the Duchess of Datchet's diamonds, worth half a million pounds. But who can imagine his surprise when he returns home and finds, thanks to a luggage mix-up on the train, that he is in possession of the jewels! Cyril is at first elated at his change of fortune, but he may not be so lucky as it seems. Inspector John Ireland of Scotland Yard is hot on his trail, suspecting him of being the thief. And worse yet, the real thieves are after him as well. And when Paxton falls into their clutches, he'll face a difficult choice: give up the jewels, or risk brutal torture and certain death! Richard Marsh was a versatile writer of ghost stories, horror novels, and romances, as well as thrilling mysteries like The Datchet Diamonds (1898). First appearing in the wake of the popularity of the Sherlock Holmes stories, The Datchet Diamonds is one of the earliest modern detective novels. This edition reprints the unabridged text of the rare first edition and reproduces the original cover illustration from an early Victorian edition of the novel.

The Romance of a Shop

Levy, Amy
"Amy Levy's The Romance of a Shop (1888) follows the four Lorimer sisters in the wake of their father's death. Penniless and reliant on each other, they decide to open a photography studio at 20B Baker Street, offering the citizens of London quality portraits. It's the 1880s and photography is not only growing in popularity and accessibility, but those with a critical eye are elevating the medium associated with quick and steady cash into a true art form. With more women entering the workforce out of necessity and rebellion, the Lorimer sisters take advantage of newfound independence as they work to survive poverty, the grind and smoke of London, fraught courtships, and melodramatic twists of fate. A novel of sisterhood, love, the female gaze and postmortem photography Levy deftly balances along the thin lines of romance and realism, art and commerce"--

Judeo-Romance Linguistics: A Bibliography (Latin, Italo-, Gallo-, Ibero-, and Rhaeto-Romance Except Castilian)

Wexler, Paul
A separate bibliographic treatment of the Judeo-Romance languages should facilitate a deeper appreciation of the contributions that they may make to Romance linguistics in general. Up until now, Judeo-Romance topics have scarcely been canvassed in Romance linguistic bibliographies. It is hoped that this new book serves to popularize the field of Judeo-Romance languages both among students of general Romance and comparative Jewish linguistics.
