Beschreibung

In "Among Cannibals," Carl Lumholtz takes readers on a vivid ethnographic journey into the heart of the Amazonian rainforest, exploring the customs, beliefs, and rituals of the indigenous tribes he encountered. Written in a narrative style that blends adventure with scholarly observation, the book captures the rich tapestry of cultural practices, including mythological traditions and communal societal structures. Lumholtz's detailed descriptions, coupled with his keen insights into the interrelations of human and environment, showcase not only the intricacies of these tribes but also the broader implications of colonial encounters during the late 19th century. His work serves as both an ethnographic document and a reflection on the Western perception of 'the other.' Carl Lumholtz, a Norwegian explorer and anthropologist, is widely recognized for his contributions to the field of anthropology and his immersive studies of indigenous cultures. His early experiences in Norway and later scholarly endeavors fueled his desire to explore uncharted territories and understand human differences. "Among Cannibals" is a culmination of his anthropological inquiries, revealing not just the life of indigenous people, but also Lumholtz's deep respect for their resilience and adaptation to their surroundings. I highly recommend "Among Cannibals" for those intrigued by anthropology, ethnography, and the complexities of cultural exchange. Lumholtz's engaging narrative offers profound insights that resonate with contemporary discussions on cultural preservation and the impact of globalization. This book is an essential read for anyone wishing to appreciate the subtleties of human civilization.

    Approximately 50 percent of the population will experience a traumatic event at some point. While reactions to trauma can vary widely, and not everyone will develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD), trauma can change the brain in some predictable ways. With increased awareness, you can seek treatment to address your symptoms and learn skills that could rewire your brain for recovery. Knowing what’s going on can be immensely helpful because it may help you realize that you’re not crazy, irreversibly damaged, or the wrong person. Instead, you can think of a traumatized brain as one that functions differently due to traumatic events. And just as your brain changes in response to your past experiences with the world, it can also change in response to your future experiences. In other words, the brain is “plastic,” and you can change it.Depth or imaginal psychotherapy is highly effective in treating and assessing adult survivors of childhood abuse. Specifically, interventions that use dreams, symbols, metaphor, and expressive art techniques are deemed especially valuable as they address dissociatively based changes (affect regulation, sense of self, and diminished imagination).Specifically, this book proposes that prominent symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (which will be further referred to as PTSD), such as changes in affect regulation, sense of self, and use of imagination, are better neurologically matched to therapeutic interventions that foster right-brain processes. By assessing specific depth psychological aspects of the individual’s shattered sense of self, a more focused and efficient treatment plan can be created sooner in the course of therapy.

    Lenin's work and influence have often been written off as no longer relevant, and many today consider this to be so. Lenin has, they claim, had his day, even though he is still revered in China, the world's most populous country. However, Lenin, like his mentor Marx, has had a tendency to rise from apparent decline and oblivion to renewed force and influence. 
     
     
     
    This study examines the key elements of Lenin's life and career, the consolidation of his ideas into the doctrines of "Leninism," the influence of Leninism in promoting revolutionary movements around the globe, and the currently disputed issue of whether his ideas still have any relevance today. In particular, while considering his views on the role of the revolutionary party, often seen as the centerpiece of his theory and practice, this account identifies the root of Lenin's global influence in his opposition to capitalist imperialism and as a bedrock foundation for the opposition of many to fascism and associated ideologies. While recognizing that Lenin's reputation has reached its lowest point, not least in his home country where his legacy is reviled by Vladimir Putin and other contemporary leaders, the book concludes by weighing up the contemporary arguments of those who believe that Lenin still lives.
