Intersectionality in the Arts Psychotherapies advocates for
contextualising of clinical thinking and experience within a social
and political framework that acknowledges the importance of
intersectionality. Bringing reflections on their own identity and
their professional knowledge to the work, creative therapists
address both practical work with clients and the theory behind
these therapeutic practices. A call to reflexivity allows the
reader to consider their own position as a practitioner. These
chapters will challenge and develop thinking on intersectional
identities. Beyond the individual, the book demonstrates the need
to embed knowledge of intersectionality in the profession at large.
Experienced practitioners write from diverse perspectives across
the arts psychotherapies, exploring how structures of power,
privilege and prejudice influence practice and outcomes.
This Element documents long-term changes in the political attitudes
of occupational groups, shifts in the salience of economic and
cultural issues, and the movement of political parties in the
electoral space from 1990 to 2018 in eight Western democracies. We
evaluate prominent contentions about how electoral contestation has
changed and why support for mainstream parties has declined while
support for challenger parties has increased. We contribute a new
analysis of how the viability of the types of electoral coalitions
assembled by center-left, center-right, radical-right, and Green
parties changes over these decades. We find that their viability is
affected by changes over time in citizens' attitudes to economic
and cultural issues and shifts in the relative salience of those
issues. We examine the contribution these developments make to
declining support for mainstream center-left and center-right
coalitions and increasing support for coalitions underpinning
radical-right and Green parties.
This collection of essays arises from the 2005 Cambridge French
Graduate Conference on the theme of threat. From the baleful and
ubiquitous eyes of surveillance cameras to the ever-present
possibility of total nuclear annihilation, threat is everywhere
around us. Yet the phenomenon itself, if indeed it is a single
phenomenon, has received little attention. This volume seeks to
remedy this oversight with a collection of concise, hard-hitting
essays on a variety of topics in French culture. Organized around
central approaches to the problem of threat - (inter)cultural,
philosophical, and approaches through the visual arts - the book
examines anxiety, privacy, loss, invasion, and other issues related
to the theme. Though emphasis is placed on the contemporary period,
writers of the French Renaissance also receive due attention.
