Author: Diverse Auteurs File Type: epub Lees dat en herlees dat geeft een representatief beeld van het beschouwend werk van Rein Bloem (1932 2008). Deze veelzijdige, begeesterde en belezen dichter, filmmaker, vertaler en criticus schreef artikelen over veelal onontdekte oude en nieuwe poezie en bracht op een originele manier verbanden aan tussen literatuur, film, muziek en beeldende kunst. De artikelen verschenen in bladen als De Groene Amsterdammer, Vrij Nederland, Yang, Parmentier, Skoop, de Revisor, Raster en Bzzlletin. Bloem maakte niet alleen oude en nieuwe Nederlandse dichters toegankelijk voor een groter publiek dankzij een speels academische benadering, maar bracht ook buitenlandse dichters (onder wie Pierre Reverdy, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens en James Joyce) onder de Nederlandse aandacht door deze te vertalen en van enthousiasmerende inleidingen te voorzien. De in dit boek samengebrachte artikelen zijn geselecteerd door Lucas Husgen in overleg met Marijke Bloem-Kohler. Lucas Husgen schreef tevens de inleiding en Marijke Bloem het nawoord.

Author: Eric Thomas Chafe File Type: pdf In 1714, the 29 year-old Johann Sebastian Bach was promoted to the position of concertmaster at the ducal court of Weimar. This post required him for the first time in his already established career to produce a regular stream of church cantatas-one cantata every four weeks. Among the most significant works of this period is Ich hatte viel Bekummernis in meinem Herzen (Cantata 21). Generally known in English as I had much affliction, Cantata 21 draws from several psalms and the Book of Revelations and offers a depiction of the spiritual ascent of the soul from intense tribulation to joy and exaltation. Although widely performed and loved by musicians, Cantata 21 has endured much criticism from scholars and critics who claim that the piece lacks organizational clarity and stylistic coherence. In Tears into Wine, renowned Bach scholar Eric Chafe challenges the scholarly consensus, arguing that Cantata 21 is an exceptionally carefully designed work, and that it displays a convergence of musical structure and theological purpose that is paradigmatic of Bachs sacred work as a whole. Drawing on a wide range of Lutheran theological writing, Chafe shows that Cantata 21 reaches beyond the scope of the individual liturgical occasion to voice a breadth of meaning that encompasses much of the core of Lutheran thought. Chafe artfully demonstrates that instead of simply presenting a musical depiction of the souls journey from sorrow to bliss, Cantata 21 expresses the various stages of Gods revelation and their impact on the believing soul. As a result, Chafe reveals that Cantata 21 has a formal design that mirrors Lutheran belief in unfolding revelation, with the final movement representing the works crown--the goal toward which all of the earlier movements are directed. Complete with full text translations of the cantata and the liturgical readings that would have accompanied it at the first performance, Tears into Wine is a monumental book that is ideally suited for Bach scholars and students, as well as those generally interested in the relationship between theology and music.

Author: Robert W. Rieber File Type: pdf This book presents new insights into Freuds famous discovery of the unconscious and the subsequent development of psychoanalytic theories. The authors explore the original context in which these ideas arose and the central debate about mind as matter or something that transcends matter. In the course of this examination, it is demonstrated that Freud was influenced not only by the 19th century scientific milieu, but also by ancient cultures. While it is known that Freud was an avid collector of ancient artifacts and generally interested in these older cultures, this book systematically investigates their profound effect on his thinking and theorizing. Two major influences, Egyptian mythology and Jewish mysticism are analyzed in terms of similarities to Freuds emerging ideas about the mind and its diseases. To further this line of investigation, Bakan supplies an illuminating discussion of what it means to interpret. Taken from the viewpoint that interpretation involves an uFrom the Back CoverFreud on Interpretation The Ancient Magical Egyptian and Jewish Traditions Robert W. Rieber, in collaboration with David Bakan In its early days, some saw psychology as a substitute for religion. Others regarded it as a new religion in its own right. What was less obvious to most observers--and far less obvious today--were the roots of Freuds work in the ancient mystical teachings of the Middle East. A unique analysis, Freud on Interpretation examines the inner workings of his thought process and the rich mine of knowledge that led him toward his theories and therapies. In the beliefs of ancient Egypt, with its sexually ambiguous dieties, and ancient Israel, with its Biblical accounts of madness and feigned madness, are found surprising sources of inspiration for such core Freudian concepts as free association, dream interpretation, the psychosexual stages, the libido, and the unconscious. Psychoanalyis here is seen in its early growth stages, fed and nurtured by philosophers, scientists, and fearless mind explorers and Freud is boldly synthesizing modes of knowledge from an age when science and superstition were rarely separate. This compelling volume Overviews the pre-Freudian history of psychology in the writings of Herbart, Morel, and Krafft-Ebing. Probes Freuds interest in ancient Eygptian creation myths and the Kabbala, and their influence on his work. Explores the paradoxes inherent in the interpretation of the mind. Offers unique insights into the origins of the Rorschach test. Considers the real meaning behind Freuds self-identification as a determinist. Includes a listing of Freuds library of titles on ancient Egypt. Freud on Interpretation is stimulating reading for clinical psychologists and those interested in the intellectual and professional development of the master psychiatrist.
