Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2023Sleep and its spaces in Middle English literature
Emotions, ethics, dreams
by Megan Leitch
Middle English literature is intimately concerned with sleep and the spaces in which it takes place. In the medieval English imagination, sleep is an embodied and culturally determined act. It is both performed and interpreted by characters and contemporaries, subject to a particular habitus and understood through particular hermeneutic lenses. While illuminating the intersecting medical and moral discourses by which it is shaped, sleep also sheds light on subjects in favour of which it has hitherto been overlooked: what sleep can enable (dreams and dream poetry) or what it can stand in for or supersede (desire and sex). This book argues that sleep mediates thematic concerns and questions in ways that have ethical, affective and oneiric implications. At the same time, it offers important contributions to understanding different Middle English genres: romance, dream vision, drama and fabliau.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2022Civic identity and public space
Belfast since 1780
by Dominic Bryan, Sean J. Connolly, John Nagle
Civic identity and public space, focussing on Belfast, and bringing together the work of a historian and two social scientists, offers a new perspective on the sometimes lethal conflicts over parades, flags and other issues that continue to disrupt political life in Northern Ireland. It examines the emergence during the nineteenth century of the concept of public space and the development of new strategies for its regulation, the establishment, the new conditions created by the emergence in 1920 of a Northern Ireland state, of a near monopoly of public space enjoyed by Protestants and unionists, and the break down of that monopoly in more recent decades. Today policy makers and politicians struggle to devise a strategy for the management of public space in a divided city, while endeavouring to promote a new sense of civic identity that will transcend long-standing sectarian and political divisions.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2015Governing Europe's spaces
European Union re-imagined
by Dimitris Papadimitriou, Caitriona Carter, Martin Lawn, Simon Bulmer, Andrew Geddes, Peter Humphreys
What do we imagine when we imagine Europe and the European Union? To what extent is our understanding of the EU - of its development, its policies and its working processes - shaped by unacknowledged assumptions about what Europe really is? The book constructs a case for re-imagining Europe - not as an entity in Brussels or a series of fixed relations - but as a simultaneously real and imagined space of action which exists to the extent that Europeans and others act in and on it. This Europe is constantly being made in particular spaces, through specific actor struggles, whose interconnections are often ill-defined. We ask how do those concerned with building Europe, with extending and elaborating the EU, think of where they are and what they are doing? The book captures Europeans in the process of making Europe: of performing, interpreting, modelling, referencing, consulting, measuring and de-politicising Europe. ;

Fearless Parenting Makes Confident Kids
by Shulamit Blank & Orly Fuchs-Shabtai
Fearless Parenting is about parental authority in modern timesand its pivotal role in raising self-reliant, compassionate, and ethical children, and in preventing behavioral and even severe psychiatric disorders. The last generation witnessed a backlash against disciplining children. We as parents are told to engage in negotiation with our kids about their behavior. We are afraid to be tough with them in case they won't love us or worse—break down. As a result, families today face severe behavior problems at earlier ages, and parents throw up their hands in resignation. The main theme and objective of this book is to prove that setting and enforcing reasonable and appropriate boundaries, combined with learning and education, could save parents' relationships with their kids and literally save children’s lives. The book is unique in that it presents in a direct, simple, and yet profound way, real case studies and situations commonly encountered, along with severe cases of drug abuse, delinquencies, and mental disturbances. All cases are shown to respond very well to authority and boundaries adjusted to the specific situation and behavior. The book contains numerous references to professional material for the more advanced reader and derives inspiration from ancient philosophers and religious thinkers. Shulamit Blank, M.D, is a pediatrician and psychiatrist, specializing in child and adolescent behavioral disturbances. Dr. Blank is the founder and, since 1993, CEO of a community-based educational and treatment facility in Israel for children and adolescents with severe psychiatric and behavioral disorders, in which she is successfully implementing her methods, preventing psychiatric hospitalization and incarceration, and minimizing the use of psychiatric drugs through teaching and education adjusted to the child's specific problems, such as ADHD, learning disabilities, etc. Due to her breakthrough approach, Dr. Blank is well-recognized and fully involved in the professional community worldwide. Dr. Blank has three children and seven grandchildren and resides with her spouse near Tel Aviv. Orly Fuchs-Shabtai is a clinical psychologist. In 2006 she established a national program for the prevention of child violence. There are about thirty-five counselors from the therapeutic field in the program, which provides counseling to hundreds of families each year and to teachers of preschool through elementary school. Fuchs-Shabtai is the mother of three grown-up children and lives in Tel Aviv. The authors strive to follow the ancient wisdom of the biblical aphorism: "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6). An English-Language eBook was published in fall 2014 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc., CA.

Fearless Parenting
by Shulamit Blank & Orli Fuchs-Shabtai
"Fearless Parenting" porte sur l'autorité parentale dans les temps modernes et sur son rôle essentiel dans l'éducation d’enfants autonomes, compatissants et vertueux et la prévention des troubles du comportement et, parfois, de graves troubles psychiatriques.La dernière génération a connu un contrecoup dans la discipline des enfants. Or, en tant que parents, nous devons discuter avec nos enfants de leur comportement. Nous évitons d'être durs avec eux de peur qu'ils nous privent de leur amour ou pire - qu'ils s'effondrent. Par conséquent, les familles d'aujourd'hui font face à de graves troubles du comportement à un âge plus précoce et les parents baissent les bras en signe d’abandon. Le thème principal et l'objectif de ce livre consistent à prouver que la création et l'application de limites raisonnables et appropriées, liées à l'instruction et à l'éducation, pourraient remédier aux relations parents/enfants et, à proprement parler, sauver la vie des enfants.Ce livre est unique dans la mesure où il présente de façon directe, simple et cependant profonde des études de cas réels et des situations fréquemment rencontrées, ainsi que des cas graves de toxicomanie, de délinquance et de troubles psychiques. Le traitement de tous ces cas présente une réaction positive à l'autorité et aux limites adaptées à la situation et au comportement spécifiques. Cet ouvrage contient de nombreuses références à la vie professionnelle pour le lecteur confirmé et s'inspire d'anciens philosophes et penseurs religieux.À propos des auteursShulamit Blank, docteure en médecine, est pédiatre et psychiatre spécialisée dans les troubles du comportement des enfants et des adolescents.En Israël, le Dr Blank est fondatrice et, depuis 1993, directrice générale d'un centre communautaire d’enseignement et de traitement des enfants et adolescents atteints de graves troubles psychiatriques et du comportement. C’est dans ce centre qu’elle parvient à appliquer ses méthodes en limitant l'hospitalisation et l'incarcération psychiatriques et en minimisant l'utilisation de médicaments psychiatriques grâce à une éducation et un enseignement adaptés aux problèmes spécifiques de l'enfant, que ce soient le TDAH, les troubles d'étude, etc.Orli Fuchs-Shabtai, est psychologue clinicienne. Elle a travaillé comme psychothérapeute pour adultes et dirige actuellement un programme national de prévention de la violence infantile.Les auteurs s'efforcent de suivre la sagesse antique de l'aphorisme biblique : « Instruis l'enfant selon la voie qu'il doit suivre; Et quand il sera vieux, il ne s'en détournera pas » (Proverbes 22:6).

FURCHTLOSE ELTERN
by Dr. Shulamit Blank und Orly Fuchs-Shabtai
FURCHTLOSE ELTERN – Ein mutiger Erziehungsansatz f?r Eltern von Heute Von Dr. Shulamit Blank und Orly Fuchs-Shabtai Furchtlose Eltern geht dem Problem mit der Autoritהt auf den Grund, den Eltern heute hהufig haben. Die Autoritהt der Eltern spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Erziehung selbststהndiger, mitf?hlender und ethisch handelnder Jugendlicher und bei der Vorbeuge gegen Verhaltensprobleme und psychische Stצrungen. Die j?ngste Generation erlebt eine starke Tendenz gegen die Disziplinierung von Kindern. Eltern werden angehalten, mit Kindern ?ber ihr Verhalten zu verhandeln. Wir haben Angst davor, zu rau im Umgang mit Kindern zu sein, wenn sie nicht tun, was wir sagen, oder widerspenstig werden. Das Ergebnis sind Familien mit schweren Verhaltensstצrungen von immer j?ngeren Kindern und Eltern, die angesichts ihrer Kinder resignieren. Zentralthema und Ziel dieses Buchs ist der Beweis, dass das Setzen und Durchsetzen vern?nftiger und angebrachter Grenzen in der Schule und bei der Erziehung in der Familie die Beziehung zwischen Kindern und Eltern heilen und buchstהblich das Leben von Kindern retten kann. Die direkte, einfache und tiefgehende Prהsentation, zahlreiche Fallstudien und hהufig erlebte Situationen, darunter auch Fהlle von Drogenmissbrauch, kriminellem Verhalten und psychischen Stצrungen, zeichnen dieses Buch aus. In allen vorgestellten Fהllen reagierten die Kinder sehr gut auf die Autoritהt und die gesetzten Grenzen in den jeweiligen Situationen und zeigten eine Verbesserung ihres Verhaltens. Das Buch enthהlt zahlreiche Literaturhinweise auf pהdagogische Literatur zum weiteren Studium sowie inspirierende Hinweise auf antike Philosophen und Theologen. Shulamit Blank Dr. Blank ist Gr?nderin und (seit 1993) CEO eines israelischen Erziehungs- und Behandlungszentrums f?r Kinder und Jugendliche mit schweren psychischen und Verhaltensstצrungen, in dem sie ihre Methoden erfolgreich in der Praxis umsetzt. Ihrer Arbeit ist es zu verdanken, dass zahlreichen Jugendlichen die Einlieferung in psychiatrische Anstalten erspart wurde und der Einsatz von Psychopharmaka minimiert werden konnte. Ihre pהdagogischen Methoden sind auf die spezifischen Probleme von Kindern und Jugendlichen, darunter ADHD und Lernstצrungen, abgestimmt. Der wegweisende Ansatz von Dr. Shulamit Blank ist in der pהdagogischen Forschung und Lehre weltweit anerkannt. Sie hat drei Kinder und sieben Enkelkinder und lebt mit ihrem Partner in der nהhe von Tel Aviv. Orly Fuchs-Shabtai Die Autorinnen sind bestrebt, in ihrer Arbeit die Weisheit des folgenden biblischen Spruchs walten zu lassen: „Erzieh das Kind auf seinem Lebensweg: dann weicht es auch im Alter nicht davon ab.“ (Sprichwצrter 22:6) ist klinische Psychologin. Sie gr?ndete 2006 ein nationale Programm zur Verhinderung von Gewalt gegen Kinder. Im Rahmen dieses Programms beraten f?nfunddrei�ig Therapeuten jedes Jahr hunderte von Familien sowie Lehrer von Kindern im Kindergarten bis zur Grundschule. Orly Fuchs-Shabtai ist Mutter drei erwachsener Kinder und lebt in Tel Aviv. , M.D. ist Kinderarzt und Psychologe mit Schwerpunkt auf Verhaltensstצrungen von Kindern und Jugendlichen.
