Summary

In "Selected Papers on Hysteria and Other Psychoneuroses," Sigmund Freud presents a foundational exploration of the psychological conditions that challenge conventional understanding of human behavior. Through meticulous case studies, including the seminal analysis of hysteria, Freud introduces his revolutionary theories on the unconscious mind, defense mechanisms, and the significance of childhood experiences. Written in a meticulous and rigorous literary style, these papers not only lay the groundwork for psychoanalytic theory but also reflect the cultural and scientific zeitgeist of late 19th-century Europe, where the interplay of emerging psychology and the complexities of human emotion was ripe for exploration. Sigmund Freud, a neurologist by training and the father of psychoanalysis, crafted this compilation during a period of intense intellectual curiosity and societal change. Influenced by contemporaries in both medicine and philosophy, Freud drew on his clinical experiences and innovative ideas from neurology to challenge prevailing notions about mental health. His profound engagement with sexuality, repression, and interpersonal dynamics informs his perspective on psychoneuroses, presenting an evolving understanding of psychiatric disorders that captures the intricacies of the human psyche. This book is indispensable for anyone interested in psychology, psychiatry, or the historical development of psychoanalysis. Freud's incisive observations and innovative theories continue to resonate in modern discussions of mental health and emotional well-being, making this collection not only a pivotal academic resource but also a gateway to understanding the depths of human behavior.

    269 Astonishing and true documented Near-Death Experiences that will forever change the way you see life—and what comes after 
    Near-Death Experiences are not hallucinations, nor are they the fading sparks of a dying brain. They are real, documented events that continue to challenge everything we thought we knew about life, death, and consciousness. 
    Consider this: a woman who had been blind since birth—who had never seen light, color, or even darkness—suddenly described the precise details of her husband’s appearance and the wedding ring he wore, after returning from a Near-Death Experience. For the first time in her life, she truly saw.

    Today, virtually all BA programs in English at German universities place a strong focus on Cultural Studies. However, textbooks that introduce first-year students to the subject are rare, and the few existing ones are too complicated or not comprehensive enough. By contrast, this textbook introduces the key theories and concepts of Cultural Studies systematically and thoroughly. It puts particular emphasis on their application, aiming to enable students to do their own analyses of cultural artefacts and practices. The author draws on many examples, mostly taken from American culture, but in each chapter, he applies the ideas introduced to The Hunger Games franchise and the coronavirus pandemic to show how different theories can lead to very different interpretations of the same phenomenon. Each chapter ends with exercises that allow students to apply what they have learned.

    The 'Hood Comes First looks at the increasingly specific emphasis on real neighborhoods and streets in rap music and hip hop culture as an urgent response to the cultural and geographical ghettoization of black urban communities. Examining rap music, along with ancillary hip hop media including radio, music videos, rap press and the cinematic 'hood genre, Murray Forman analyzes hip hop culture's varying articulations of the terms "ghetto," "inner-city," and "the 'hood," and how these spaces, both real and imaginary, are used to define individual and collective identity.Negotiating academic, corporate, and "street" discourses, Forman assesses the dynamics between race, social space and youth. Race, class and national identification are recast and revised within rap's spatial discourse, concluding with the construction of "the 'hood," a social and geographic symbol that has become central to concepts of hip hop authenticity. Additionally, the book analyzes the processes within the music and culture industries through which hip hop has been amplified and disseminated from the 'hood to international audiences.
