Luigino Bruni
Reciprocity, Altruism and the Civil Society (Routledge Advances in Game Theory)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Reciprocity is a term used in a number of conexts, from the ethic of reciprocity as expressed by philosophers such as Confucius and Jesus Christ via social psychology, international relations and cultural anthropology. This book is the first to examine it from an economics perspective. Luigino Bruni examines three forms of reciprocity: reciprocity without benevolence, philia-reciprocity, and unconditional reciprocity. Going back through the writings of thinkers such as Aristotle, Hume as well as modern neoclassical economists, the book represents a challenge to the way contemporary social sciences consider reciprocity. Furthermore, making use of simple evolutionary game theory the author challenges the contraposition between the market reciprocity based on contracts or repeated games and the genuine reciprocity typical of non-market relation based, instead, on gift and other-oriented behavior.

Fatemeh Keshavarz
Recite in the Name of the Red Rose: Poetic Sacred Making in Twentieth-century Iran (Studies in Comparative Religion)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Recite the Name of the Red Rose introduces Western readers to constructions of the sacred in twentieth-century Iranian poetry. Sifting through the lives and writings of modern and classical poets, Fatemeh Keshavarz provides a systematic examination of the array of religious impulses in recent Persian verse. Viewing poetry as the site of the emergence of the self and the sacred, she confirms that sanctification is not static in its forms but continuously in flux and that the poetic modes used to articulate the sanctified are equally fluid. Keshevarz begins by introducing the core concepts that define and detach religion and secularity in contemporary Iranian society. By thoroughly discussing the nature of classical Persian poetry she makes clear that expressions of the sacred in verse have been open to negotiation and change even in the premodern period. In Iran`s modern poetic landscape however, Keshavarz uncovers many new patterns of expressing the sacred. In individual chapters on… [detailed...]

Jane Tylus
Reclaiming Catherine of Siena: Literacy, Literature, and the Signs of Others

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Catherine of Siena (1347–1380) wrote almost four hundred epistles in her lifetime, effectively insinuating herself into the literary, political, and theological debates of her day. At the same time, as the daughter of a Sienese dyer, Catherine had no formal education, and her accomplishments were considered miracles rather than the work of her own hand. As a result, she has been largely excluded from accounts of the development of European humanism and the language and literature of Italy. Reclaiming Catherine of Siena makes the case for considering Catherine alongside literary giants such as Dante and Petrarch, as it underscores Catherine`s commitment to using the vernacular to manifest Christ`s message—and her own.Jane Tylus charts here the contested struggles of scholars over the centuries to situate Catherine in the history of Italian culture in early modernity. But she mainly focuses on Catherine’s works, calling attention to the interplay between orality and textuality in the… [detailed...]

Carine M. Mardorossian
Reclaiming Difference: Caribbean Women Rewrite Postcolonialism (New World Studies)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn Reclaiming Difference, Carine Mardorossian examines the novels of four women writers--Jean Rhys (Dominica/UK), Maryse Conde (Guadeloupe/USA), Edwidge Danticat (Haiti/USA), and Julia Alvarez (Dominican Republic/USA)--showing how their writing has radically reformulated the meanings of the national, geographical, sexual, and racial concepts through which postcolonial studies has long been configuring difference. Coming from the anglophone, francophone, and hispanophone Caribbean, these writers all stage and identify with transcultural experiences that undermine the usual classification of literary texts in terms of national and regional literatures, and by doing so they challenge the idea that racial and cultural identities function as stable points of reference in our unstable world. Focusing on the transformations that have taken place in postcolonial studies since the field began to focus on theory, Mardorossian highlights not only how these… [detailed...]

Reclaiming Vitality and Presence: Sensory Awareness as a Practice for Life

2007 y.
Publisher: North Atlantic Books
Description: This book captures the essence of Charlotte Selver`s practice of Sensory Awareness like no other publication. It is an invitation to experience life firsthand again, as we did when we were children. In a culture where we have grown accustomed to accumulating knowledge from teachers and experts, it is rare to find a book that actually invites us to trust our own senses again. It is the authors` intent to give back to the reader authority over his or her own experience and learning processes. Much of the book focuses on reviving the senses in order to open the mind and body to direct learning. The book imitates an actual Sensory Awareness class, involving the reader as a student, guiding him or her along a journey with and through the senses to a way of living that is in accordance with the natural functioning of the human organism in its environment. The range of explorations include a renewed connection to the support of the earth as a foundation for trust, the central… [detailed...]

In vivo and imaginal exposure comprise the core of the treatment, along with breathing retraining and techniques for monitoring progress.

Because many adolescent PTSD sufferers do not initiate therapy on their own, but are referred to therapy by social workers, parents, or other authority figures, their willingness to participate in their treatment can vary widely. The first element of this treatment, serves to assess the client`s attitude, and increase motivation to change.
