Book Description
“The day after Demetrio took up his customary life. Only one fact was unusual: along the way to his office a dog was following him. It was Thursday. As the dog nuzzled up closer, he warned him: ‘Go away, leave me in peace, ...’ ‘Beb,’ replied Thursday warmly, scrutinizing the man with eager wide eyes.” It is the voice of conscience, that makes itself heard, and asks Demetrio, as everyone of us, the strength and the wisdom to listen to it. Milan, 1890.

The Art of Objects
Author: Luca Cottini
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487516118
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
The Art of Objects is a cultural history of early Italian industrialism, set against the political, social, and intellectual background of post-unification Italy, and a cutting-edge investigation of the formation of Italy's industrial culture at the turn of the twentieth century. Providing a close examination of several objects of mass consumption, including watches, photographs, bicycles, gramophones, cigarettes, and toys, author Luca Cottini explores the transformation of these objects from commercial items into aesthetic and philosophical icons. By focusing on the cultural significance of these objects as they enter the market and appear in contemporary works of art and literature, The Art of Objects outlines a comprehensive view of the age between the unification of Italy and Fascism, encompassing production and consumption, aesthetics and entrepreneurship, industry and the humanistic tradition. The observation of the slow formation of new languages, practices, and experiences around these objects also provides valuable insight into the creative laboratory of Italy's early industrial culture. By reconstructing the origins of the Italian culture of design, the book ultimately investigates Italy's critical reception of industrialism, the nation's so-called "imperfect" modernization, and its ongoing quest for an original way to modernity.

On Freud's ''Formulations on the Two Principles of Mental Functioning''
Author: Lawrence J. Brown
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429902697
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
This book is a collection of papers by leading contemporary psychoanalysts who comment on the continuing important relevance of Freud's (1911) paper, Formulations on the Two Principles of Mental Functioning. The contributors gathered here represent current European, Latin American, and North American perspectives that elaborate the continuing value of Two Principles for present-day psychoanalytic thinking. Each author examines Freud's paper through a personal lens that is coloured by the psychoanalytic culture from which he or she comes. In each instance, the writers' chapters demonstrate the heuristic value of Two Principles for twenty-first century psychoanalytic theory and technique. A common thread that runs through all the chapters is the view that this brief paper by Freud, which he humbly introduced by stating, "The deficiencies of this short paper, which is preparatory rather than expository ...", is a masterpiece that contains within it the seeds of much of his later writing. The distinction he draws between the pleasure principle and the reality principle are profound and raise questions that still preoccupy analysis today.
