Synopsis

Elegy Form Tradition delves into the historical and literary significance of the Roman elegiac couplet, exploring how this two-line poetic structure became a powerful medium for expressing personal tragedy, military conflict, and longing in Roman society. The book examines the structural development of the elegiac couplet, noting its use of dactylic hexameter and pentameter. Intriguingly, this poetic form shaped not only the sound but also the content of Roman verse, influencing major poets like Ovid, Propertius, and Tibullus. 

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the dynamic relationship between the elegiac couplet's form and its thematic content. It challenges the traditional view of form as merely decorative, arguing instead that it actively shaped the expression of Roman identity and experience. 

 
Beginning with the origins and technical aspects of the couplet, the book progresses to in-depth analyses of elegies by Catullus, Propertius, Tibullus, and Ovid, before demonstrating the tradition’s influence on later literary movements. Through close readings of Latin texts and engagement with existing scholarship, this study offers fresh perspectives valuable to students and scholars of classical literature and history.

Mapping The End of History with...

Terence McKenna

Terrance McKenna's captivating lecture, he delves into his theory of the universe as an engine geared towards generating and preserving novelty, with an escalation in novelty corresponding to an increase in complexity. Drawing from the Chinese divination text, the I-Ching, which he views as a tool rather than the focal point, McKenna elaborates on the concept of the time wave. Time, he proposes, manifests as a colossal wave, gathering density and intensity until its culmination, fueled by novelty in various forms such as information, incidents, and events. 
 
Throughout history, this wave of novelty has propelled progress and evolution, with each novelty birthing further innovations in a fractal-like manner. McKenna observes an exponential acceleration in novelty in recent times, with the pace of change surpassing anything witnessed in previous eras. The rapid advancements in technology and discovery over the past century exemplify this phenomenon, leaving humanity pondering the trajectory of the future. 
 
McKenna's thought-provoking ideas challenge conventional notions of time and evolution, prompting speculation on the ultimate culmination of the time wave's journey. Regardless of one's agreement or disagreement with his theories, McKenna's discourse captivates with its depth, originality, and provocative insights into the nature of existence and progress.

What's Out of Order Here? -...

Ilse Kutschera, Christine Brugger

"What makes this book special is the richness of the illustrations of how symptoms of illness embody concrete events in a family and how family constellations can bring this to light with a respect that allows symptoms to recede and disappear. As far as I am aware, this has never before been identified and illustrated so clearly. This book is a first class pioneering effort. Alongside new insights, it also details the concrete steps that have led to new and often surprising resolutions."

Bert Hellinger

When a machine is out of order, we look for the broken part and attempt repairs. When something goes awry with the human mind, body and spirit, we need to look with a more holistic view for solutions. This book presents the experiences of a physician and psychotherapist who has gone far beyond the 'parts repair' approach to medical treatment to look not only at the whole person, but also the entire family system using the method of family constellations.

The book is comprised of two parts. The first is a basic explanation of the approach, which was first developed by Bert Hellinger. In the second part of the book, practical applications of the method are documented in a wide variety of case studies. Illness and symptoms are viewed in the context of larger systems, and constellations are used to identify disturbances and restore a more health-supporting order.

This report on the method of family constellations is a fascinating trip through theory and practice that offers a new concept of healing for lay readers as well as professionals.
The Authors:
Ilse Kutschera, M. D., born in Vienna, Austria in 1936, studied medicine in Graz. She worked as a physician until 1998, when she retired from her position as head of a rehabilitation clinic to devote her time to her private psychotherapy practice. During her career, she had developed a keen interest in psychotherapy and trained in various approaches including primal therapy, transactional analysis, gestalt therapy, NLP and Bert Hellinger's constellation work. This book is an expression of her interest in integrating psychotherapy and classical medicine.
Christine Brugger, born in Germany in 1962, is head of a radio station in the East Tyrol in Austria. Through her friendship with Dr Kutschera, she became interested in writing about constellation work in the medical field. The book is the result of many interviews, discussions and recorded case histories.
