The original and thoughtful essays in "The Making of a Counsellor" offer a double contribution to the literature on counselling. In the first place, they demonstrate the versatility of psychoanalytically based counselling, as they describe how the ideas and techniques are used in settings which on the face of it seem to offer little scope for a counsellor. Two case studies illustrate work done with "impossible" clients; other essays on both orphans and debtors, accountancy trainees and expatriate employees, mathematicians, and musicians take the reader into new ways of thinking about these groups of people. More traditional, perhaps, are essays about work with neurological patients, adolescent youth club members, traumatized families, and the chronically and mentally ill, but each one speaks from the position of a counsellor breaking fresh ground in understanding the complexity of the problems and the richness of the counselling relationship. This is the second aspect of the book. The authors of the essays were all at the end of the two-year course leading to a Diploma in Adult or Student Counselling, and they portray in the writing something of the personal process of struggling t

The Strange Career of Porgy and Bess - Race, Culture, and America's Most Famous Opera (Paperback, New Ed): Ellen Noonan The Strange Career of Porgy and Bess - Race, Culture, and America's Most Famous Opera (Paperback, New Ed)

R1,267 Discovery Miles 12 670 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Created by George Gershwin and DuBose Heyward and sung by generations of black performers, Porgy and Bess has been both embraced and reviled since its debut in 1935. In this comprehensive account, Ellen Noonan examines the opera's long history of invention and reinvention as a barometer of twentieth-century American expectations about race, culture, and the struggle for equality. In its surprising endurance lies a myriad of local, national, and international stories. For black performers and commentators, Porgy and Bess was a nexus for debates about cultural representation and racial uplift. White producers, critics, and even audiences spun revealing racial narratives around the show, initially in an attempt to demonstrate its authenticity and later to keep it from becoming discredited or irrelevant. Expertly weaving together the wide-ranging debates over the original novel, Porgy, and its adaptations on stage and film with a history of its intimate ties to Charleston, The Strange Career of "Porgy and Bess" uncovers the complexities behind one of our nation's most long-lived cultural touchstones.

Uses of the Folk (Paperback): Karl Hagstrom Miller Uses of the Folk (Paperback)
Karl Hagstrom Miller; Edited by Karl Hagstrom Miller, Ellen Noonan; Ellen Noonan
R360 Discovery Miles 3 600 Out of stock

"The Uses of the Folk" introduces a new way of understanding the relationship between artists and populations designated as "the folk" and the scholars who define them. The issue begins with the premise that vernacular culture is an important tool through which communities assert their interests and identities within national and international politics. More than simply protecting or preserving traditions in the face of modernization, folk culture--and state or academic interest in it--gives many practitioners a rare but powerful voice within debates about modernity, national identity, and culture from which they have typically been barred. Folk communities often show a profound willingness to change the presentation of the culture in order to gain maximum advantage from authorities needed for authenticating power.
The essays explore a variety of incarnations of "the folk," from the contested meanings of folk dance in creating a national culture in twentieth-century Haiti and Nicaragua, to the ways that the London Museum's collection of artifacts challenged early-twentieth-century British notions of gender, labor, and citizenship, to the production of urban folklore in New York City. "The Uses of the Folk" identifies folk culture of the past and present as an important site of ongoing struggle--one affecting all scholars who draw on folk or vernacular culture in their work.
