Book Description
All'età di 12 anni decisi di abbandonare l'istinto per intraprendere una razionalità esasperata, ero stufa di stare nel mio mondo perché lì mi sentivo inadeguata e fuori posto, volevo piacere agli altri ed essere accettata. Ho indossato così tante maschere nel tempo da dimenticarmi chi ero e anche chi sono. La mia vera natura! In questo estenuante tentativo di non mostrare debolezze, di lottare e combattere sempre, mi sono persa lungo un terreno disseminato di trappole e ho smesso di scrivere. Dopo anni passati ad inaridire sempre di più la mia interiorità, l'anima ha iniziato a gridare il suo dolore riversando disagi anche sul fisico e sono stata costretta a fermarmi e ad ascoltarla ripercorrendo passo dopo passo la via di casa. Ritornando in quei campi dove scrivevo da bambina con, sullo sfondo, la montagna (il Monviso) dove tutto ebbe inizio. È incredibile come i condizionamenti esterni possano cambiare una vita, distorcerla, reprimerla. L'anima reclamava il suo paradiso perduto, era dunque giunto il momento di tornare da quella bambina che nessuno comprendeva per iniziare ad ascoltarla, abbracciarla e aiutarla ad avere il coraggio di scrivere liberamente senza più paure ne giudizi. Ognuno di noi ha già dentro di sé la cura ai suoi disagi e, se concede spazio e visibilità al bambino interiore, di sicuro lui gli mostrerà la via. Questo libro mi ha obbligata a rimettere in discussione la mia vita, ad uscire dalla zona di confort che mi faceva sentire al sicuro, a mettermi a nudo spogliandomi del superfluo e ad abbracciare la me bambina per un nuovo inizio più in linea col mio sentire.

Reading Lolita in Tehran

Pages : 386
Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • We all have dreams—things we fantasize about doing and generally never get around to. This is the story of Azar Nafisi’s dream and of the nightmare that made it come true. For two years before she left Iran in 1997, Nafisi gathered seven young women at her house every Thursday morning to read and discuss forbidden works of Western literature. They were all former students whom she had taught at university. Some came from conservative and religious families, others were progressive and secular; several had spent time in jail. They were shy and uncomfortable at first, unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds, but soon they began to open up and to speak more freely, not only about the novels they were reading but also about themselves, their dreams and disappointments. Their stories intertwined with those they were reading—Pride and Prejudice, Washington Square, Daisy Miller and Lolita—their Lolita, as they imagined her in Tehran. Nafisi’s account flashes back to the early days of the revolution, when she first started teaching at the University of Tehran amid the swirl of protests and demonstrations. In those frenetic days, the students took control of the university, expelled faculty members and purged the curriculum. When a radical Islamist in Nafisi’s class questioned her decision to teach The Great Gatsby, which he saw as an immoral work that preached falsehoods of “the Great Satan,” she decided to let him put Gatsby on trial and stood as the sole witness for the defense. Azar Nafisi’s luminous tale offers a fascinating portrait of the Iran-Iraq war viewed from Tehran and gives us a rare glimpse, from the inside, of women’s lives in revolutionary Iran. It is a work of great passion and poetic beauty, written with a startlingly original voice. Praise for Reading Lolita in Tehran “Anyone who has ever belonged to a book group must read this book. Azar Nafisi takes us into the vivid lives of eight women who must meet in secret to explore the forbidden fiction of the West. It is at once a celebration of the power of the novel and a cry of outrage at the reality in which these women are trapped. The ayatollahs don’ t know it, but Nafisi is one of the heroes of the Islamic Republic.”—Geraldine Brooks, author of Nine Parts of Desire

This Art of Psychoanalysis
Author: Thomas H Ogden
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134192258
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Winner of the 2010 Haskell Norman Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Psychoanalysis! Why is dreaming the mind's single most important psychoanalytic activity? This Art of Psychoanalysis offers a unique perspective on psychoanalysis that features a new way of conceptualizing the role of dreaming in human psychology. Thomas Ogden's thinking has been at the cutting edge of psychoanalysis for more than 25 years. In this volume, he builds on the work of Freud, Klein, Winnicott, and Bion and explores the idea that human psychopathology is a manifestation of a breakdown of the individual's capacity to dream his experience. The investigation into the role of the analyst in participating psychologically in the patient's dreaming is illustrated throughout with elegant and absorbing accounts of clinical work, providing a fascinating insight into the analyst's experience. Subjects covered include: a new reading of the origins of object relations theory on holding and containing, being and dreaming on psychoanalytic writing. This engaging book succeeds in conveying not just a set of techniques but a way of being with patients that is humane and compassionate. It will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and other mental health professionals.

The Undivine Comedy
Author: Teodolinda Barolini
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400820766
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Accepting Dante's prophetic truth claims on their own terms, Teodolinda Barolini proposes a "detheologized" reading as a global new approach to the Divine Comedy. Not aimed at excising theological concerns from Dante, this approach instead attempts to break out of the hermeneutic guidelines that Dante structured into his poem and that have resulted in theologized readings whose outcomes have been overdetermined by the poet. By detheologizing, the reader can emerge from this poet's hall of mirrors and discover the narrative techniques that enabled Dante to forge a true fiction. Foregrounding the formal exigencies that Dante masked as ideology, Barolini moves from the problems of beginning to those of closure, focusing always on the narrative journey. Her investigation--which treats such topics as the visionary and the poet, the One and the many, narrative and time--reveals some of the transgressive paths trodden by a master of mimesis, some of the ways in which Dante's poetic adventuring is indeed, according to his own lights, Ulyssean.
