He smiled while he spoke, waving his arms to emphasise his words. Nicholas nodded sagely as he pretended to listen. Not showing any sign of returning the man’s brilliant smile. Maya moved closer. Feeling curious. "Aren't you going to introduce me, Nicholas?" she asked. Maya smiled at the young man. He seemed to be only a few years older than her. He had a healthy complexion that showed he enjoyed spending time outside. The young man returned her smile. "I'm Alfie, and I'm so pleased to meet such a lovely woman," he said and beamed at her. He held out his hand to greet her. "This is my sister, Maya. Touch her and die," Nicholas said coldly. The young man froze, his hand hanging in midair. "Ignore him, Alfie," Maya said. "He's not my brother. He's just afraid I'll lose my V-card on his watch." Both gawked at her. "Hi, I'm Maya. I'm so pleased to meet you," she said and shook his hand. "I'm 23 by the way, so I make my own decisions." "Dammit, Maya," Nicholas seethed beside her. "Why don't you find a girlfriend to harass, Nicholas. I'm sure Alfie and I can find something interesting to talk about." "Piss off, Alfie!" Nicholas said and grabbed Maya's arm. He pulled her away from the shocked young man. With Nicholas holding her arm, he manoeuvred her into the hallway nearby. It was quiet. No one was near enough to hear. Maya sighed and prepared herself for another reprimand. Great. "Wow. That was subtle," Maya said. "I liked him. Why did you have to ruin it?" ——————

Women and Desire
Author: Polly Young-Eisendrath

Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Polly Young-Eisendrath´s Women and Desire: Beyond Wanting to Be Wanted was first published by Harmony Books in 1999. Since then, it has become a classic read for those readers– to use a cinematographic expression – who want to use analytical psychology to shed light on what women want. This book, when first published, was described (and still is) as “provocative and vital.” More than 20 years after its publication, this book still shows effectively “how to break out of this double bind so that” women “can encounter the challenges of choice and responsibility for our own desires.” The author “wisely uses mythological and personal stories to help us take control of our sexual, relational, material, and spiritual lives.” Therefore, “If you feel confused, resentful, or trapped in a life that does not seem to be fully yours, then you can find a clear path to your true self, once and for all, with the help of Women and Desire.” This book is the second of the series titled Jungianeum: Re-Covered Classics in Analytical Psychology curated by Stefano Carpani.

Confronting Desire
Author: Ilan Kapoor
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501751735
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
By applying psychoanalytic perspectives to key themes, concepts, and practices underlying the development enterprise, Confronting Desire offers a new way of analyzing the problems, challenges, and potentialities of international development. Ilan Kapoor makes a compelling case for examining development's unconscious desires and in the process inaugurates a new field of study: psychoanalytic development studies. Drawing from the work of Jacques Lacan and Slavoj Žižek, as well as from psychoanalytic postcolonial and feminist scholarship, Kapoor analyzes how development's unconscious desires "speak out," most often in excessive and unpredictable ways that contradict the outwardly rational declarations of its practitioners. He investigates development's many irrationalities—from obsessions about growth and poverty to the perverse seductions of racism and over-consumption. By deploying key psychoanalytic concepts—enjoyment, fantasy, antagonism, fetishism, envy, drive, perversion, and hysteria—Confronting Desire critically analyzes important issues in development—growth, poverty, inequality, participation, consumption, corruption, gender, "race," LGBTQ politics, universality, and revolution. Confronting Desire offers prescriptions for applying psychoanalysis to development theory and practice and demonstrates how psychoanalysis can provide fertile ground for radical politics and the transformation of international development.

Book Description
A generation past, the western realms were embroiled in endless war. Then the Destroyer came. From the blood and ashes he left behind, a tenuous alliance rose between the barbarian riders of Parsathe and the walled kingdoms of the south. That alliance is all that stands against the return of an ancient evil—until the barbarian king and queen are slain in an act of bloody betrayal. Though forbidden by the alliance council to kill the corrupt king responsible for his parents’ murders, Maddek vows to avenge them, even if it costs him the Parsathean crown. But when he learns it was the king’s daughter who lured his parents to their deaths, the barbarian warrior is determined to make her pay. Yet the woman Maddek captures is not what he expected. Though the last in a line of legendary warrior-queens, Yvenne is small and weak, and the sharpest weapons she wields are her mind and her tongue. Even more surprising is the marriage she proposes to unite them in their goals and to claim their thrones—because her desire for vengeance against her father burns even hotter than his own…
