This volume is based on the presentations and discussions of a
national symposium on "Couples in Conflict" that focused on family
issues. A common thread throughout is that constructive conflict
and negotiation are beneficial for relationships. Together, the
chapters provide a foundation for thinking about creative ways in
which our society can work to prevent or minimize destructive
couple conflict and to enhance couples' abilities to constructively
handle their differences. Divided into four parts, this book:
*addresses the societal and bioevolutionary underpinnings of couple
conflict; *presents the interpersonal roots of couple conflict and
the consequences for individuals and couples; *discusses what
effects couple conflict have on children and how individual
differences in children moderate these effects; and *outlines the
issue of policies and programs that address couple conflict. This
book concludes with an essay that pulls these four themes together
and points to new directions for research and program efforts.
Very few poets except the authors of the Hebrew Scriptures and the
New Testament have tried to write in any extended way about God.
Even Dante confines his vision of Christ and the Trinity to a few
passages at the end of Paradiso and most religious lyric poets
concentrate more on their own attitudes and reactions to God, their
prayer, longing, repentance, suffering or joy, than on the nature
of God. Among English poems, three narratives, Piers Plowman,
Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained are exceptional in their
extensive, explicit poetry about god and their direct concern with
the mysteries of Biblical faith. This work looks at Piers Plowman,
confronting not only the alterity of culture resulting from a lapse
of almost 700 years, but also the more profound alterity of the
subject matter.
The exhibition Invocable Reality explores possible perspectives on
reality from art practices through a selection of works by eleven
artists from different backgrounds and generations. The works in
Invocable Reality approach reality in a subtle way. They start from
the 'here and now' of the reality that the artists intend to
'investigate and conquer': incorporating fragments in the
exhibition space (Roman Ondak), turning the gallery into a real
space (Antonio Ortega), filming it (Lutz Mommartz, Jeremy Deller
and Mireia Sallares), trying to direct it (John Smith), looking for
connections in space and time (Enric Farres-Duran), influencing it
(Nuria Guell), showing the devastating effects of a mediated
reality (Phil Collins), demonstrating the impossibility of its
representation (Rafel G. Bianchi) or showing how we have turned
death into something unreal (Jill Magid). The catalogue reproduces
a series of photographs of the exhibition installation, whose
selection of works is discussed in the text by Montse Badia,
curator of the exhibition, as well as the essay 'On "The Real"' by
the French philosopher Clement Rosset.
