Book excerpt: Souls in the Mist: A tale I lived is a novel where the people, places and customs portrayed represent the life of a rural community in Mexico in the time leading up to the Day of the Dead celebration. The common thread of the story is an old woman who, as she goes from her house to the market, the Church or cemetery during these festivity days, is encountering various inhabitants of the village. As she and the rest of her neighbors are doing various tasks specifi c to those days, she is narrating her life and sharing her thoughts and memories from the towns old days, and whenever she encounters someone in the village, she takes us by the hand to the inside of that persons story. The traditions associated with these festivities lend a magical aura to the plot of the novel, as the living characters seem not only to reminisce but also to interact with the souls of the deceased. The reader hears the voices of the villagers, and in their manner of speaking becomes witness to the towns deepest soul. Its tone takes a page from the style of Magic Realism made famous by Gabriel Garca-Marquezs One Hundred Years of Solitude, Juan Rulfos Pedro Pramo or Laura Esquivels Like Water for Chocolate.

Download or read book Cuando los que escuchan hablan written by María Esther Gilio and published by Libros del Zorzal. This book was released on 2020-09-25 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A los 14 años, con la lectura de Análisis profano de Freud, se produce un quiebre en la vida de María Esther Gilio: “Después de haber pasado mi primera infancia diciendo ‘quiero ser médica de locos’, después de ver un film de Claudette Colbert en que ésta, con todo su encanto francés, convertía a locos furiosos en santos de estampita, quise ser psicoanalista”. Este es el testimonio de alguien que sospecha que hablar de uno mismo en el pasado es como hablar de otra persona, y que el presente surge permanentemente como un espejo que no siempre queremos enfrentar de manera directa (“Llegamos a hoy. Y yo no quiero escribir sobre mí misma”). Como si la conversación con quienes compartimos preciados intereses mostrara nuestra identidad más genuina, la autora –abogada, escritora, biógrafa y periodista– nos habla de experiencias de vida a través de una serie de entrevistas. Aparecen aquí algunos de los más importantes y prestigiosos psicoanalistas contemporáneos: Jean Laplanche, Jacques Alain Miller, Emilio Rodrigué, Elisabeth Roudinesco, Benzión Winograd, Silvia Bleichmar, Janine Altounian, Lito Benvenutti, Mordechai Benyakar, César Botella, Françoise Davoine, Jean-Max Gaudilliere, Daniel Gil, Max Hernández, Philippe Jeammet, François Marty, Paul Roazen y Teresa Yuan. De manera paulatina, el lector encontrará en estas páginas una impresión de coherencia ética y profesional en el tratamiento de temas que le dan sentido a aquel primer deseo, y que revelan que “nuestras decisiones siempre están estrechamente unidas a lo que imaginamos”.

Download or read book Aggression and Violence written by Brad J. Bushman and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a broad and contemporary overview of aggression and violence by some of the most internationally renowned researchers in the field. It begins with an integrative theoretical understanding of aggression and shows how animal models shed light on human aggression and violence. Individual risk factors for aggression and violence from different research perspectives are then examined. First, there is a cognitive neuroscientific, neuropsychological, and psychophysiological study of the brain. It then explores the developmental psychological factors in aggressive behavior, incorporating work on gender and the family. Other perspectives include the role of testosterone, individual differences, and whether humans are innately wired for violence. The following sections moves from the individual to the contextual risk factors for aggression, including work on the effects of adverse events and ostracism, guns and other aggressive cues including violent media, and drugs and alcohol. Targets of aggression and violence are covered in the next section, including violence against women and loved ones; aggression between social groups; and the two very contemporary issues of cyberbullying and terrorism. The book concludes with work showing how we may make the world a more peaceful place by preventing and reducing aggression and violence. The volume is essential reading for upper-level students and researchers of psychology and related disciplines interested in a rigorous and multi-perspective overview of work on aggression and violence.
