  Kubrick's Men

  Richard Rambuss

  The work of Stanley Kubrick amounts to a sustained reflection on the male condition: past, present, and future. The persistent theme of his filmmaking is less violence or sex than it is the pressurized exertion of masculinity in unusual or extreme circumstances, where it may be taxed or exaggerated to various effects, tragic and comic—or metamorphosed, distorted, and even undone. 
   
   
   
  The stories that Kubrick's movies tell range from global nuclear politics to the unpredictable sexual dynamics of a marriage; from a day in the life of a New York City prizefighter preparing for a nighttime bout to the evolution of humankind. These male melodramas center on sociality and asociality. They feature male doubles, pairs, and rivals. They explore the romance of men and their machines, and men as machines. They figure intensely conflicted forms of male sexual desire. And they are also very much about male manners, style, taste, and art. 
   
   
   
  Examining the formal, thematic, and theoretical affiliations between Kubrick's three bodies of work, Kubrick's Men offers new vantages on to the question of gender and sexuality, including the first extended treatment of homosexuality in Kubrick's male-oriented work. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Acceptance and Commitment...

  Life is a complex tapestry of joys, sorrows, successes, and challenges. As humans, we often find ourselves striving to avoid discomfort, suppressing unpleasant emotions, or seeking control over our inner struggles. Yet, these strategies often lead to frustration and a sense of disconnection from what truly matters. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy offers a compelling alternative: a way to embrace life’s full spectrum while committing to actions that align with your values and aspirations. 
  Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a modern behavioral therapy rooted in the principle of psychological flexibility—the ability to adapt to changing circumstances, remain present, and take meaningful actions even in the face of adversity. Instead of battling unwanted thoughts and emotions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages acceptance of them as natural elements of human existence. This shift in perspective allows individuals to redirect their energy from avoidance to engagement, fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment. 
  The framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is built around six core processes: acceptance, cognitive defusion, mindfulness, self-as-context, values clarification, and committed action. These processes are not isolated steps but interconnected skills that work together to enhance well-being. Acceptance teaches you to make room for difficult emotions without judgment or resistance. Cognitive defusion helps you view your thoughts with clarity, reducing their power to dominate your actions. Mindfulness anchors you in the present moment, while self-as-context fosters a stable and compassionate sense of self. Values clarification identifies what truly matters to you, and committed action translates those values into meaningful, goal-directed behavior.
