Since the invention of photography in the nineteenth century,
Africa has been defined largely by Western images of its cultures
and traditions. From the colonial carte de visite and ethnographic
archive to the rise of studio portraiture and social documents of
racial surveillance, the fraught relationship between Africa and
the photographic lens has become inseparable from the discourses of
post-colonialism. Challenging these dominant images of exoticism
and otherness, this book illustrates how photography has allowed
artists to reimagine African histories through the lens of the
present, to shape our understanding of the contemporary realities
we face. Bringing together a diverse range of artists and thinkers
to present varied perspectives on issues such as cultural heritage
and restitution, spirituality, urbanism and climate change, it
reveals how innovative contemporary photography challenges
perceptions of history, culture and identity.
Pierre Janet's L'Automatisme Psychologique, originally published in
1889, is one of the earliest and most important books written on
the study of trauma and dissociation. Here it is made available, in
two volumes, in English for the first time, with a new preface by
Giuseppe Craparo and Onno van der Hart. The second volume,
Subconscious Acts, Anesthesias, and Psychological Disaggregation in
Psychological Automatism, covers four main topics. Beginning with
an examination of subconscious acts, Janet first assesses partial
catalepsies, subconscious acts, and posthypnotic suggestions, then
proceeds to a consideration of anesthesias and simultaneous
psychological existences. This is followed by discussion of several
forms of psychological disaggregation, including spiritism,
impulsive madness, hallucinations, and possessions. Finally, Janet
considers elements of mental weakness and strength, from misery to
judgement and will. Janet's work, with its many descriptions of
dissociative actions and the dissociative personality, will help
clinicians and researchers to develop insight in trauma-related
dissociation, and to become more adapt at relating to their
patients' dissociative actions. This seminal work will be of great
interest to researchers and students of psychoanalysis, philosophy,
and modernism, as well as psychotherapists and psychoanalysts
working with clients who have experienced trauma. It is accompanied
by Catalepsy, Memory, and Suggestion in Psychological Automatism:
Total Automatism.
Pierre Janet's L'Automatisme psychologique, originally published in
1889, is one of the earliest and most important books written on
the study of trauma and dissociation. Here it is made available, in
two volumes, in English for the first time, with a new preface by
Giuseppe Craparo and Onno van der Hart. Catalepsy, Memory, and
Suggestion in Psychological Automatism, the first volume, examines
three aspects of trauma and dissociation. Janet first explores
catalepsy and analogous states, including comparing catalepsy to
somnambulism, then discusses somnambulism, memory, and forgetting.
Finally, Janet considers suggestion, amnesia, and distraction, as
well as considering characteristics of suggestible individuals.
Janet's work is an unsurpassed experimental study of human actions
in their simplest and most rudimentary forms, and a fundamental
contribution to our understanding of trauma-related dissociation.

Over the past two decades contemporary African art has taken its
rightful place on the world stage. Today, African artists work
outside the confines of limiting categories and outdated
perceptions; they produce art that is as much a reflection of
Africa's tumultuous past as it is a vision of its boundless future.
African Art Now is an expansive overview featuring some of the most
interesting and innovative artists working today. Far-reaching in
its scope, this book celebrates the diversity and dynamism of the
contemporary African art scene across the continent today.
Featuring the work of Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Michael Armitage,
Amoako Boafo, Cassi Namoda, Cinga Samson, Zina Saro-Wiwa and many
more.
Pierre Janet's De l'Automatisme Psychologique, originally published
in 1889, is one of the earliest and most important books written on
the study of trauma and dissociation. Here it is made available in
English for the first time, with a new foreword by Giuseppe Craparo
and Onno van der Hart. Published here in two volumes, this seminal
work will be of great interest to researchers and students of
psychoanalysis, philosophy and modernism, as well as
psychotherapists and psychoanalysts working with clients who have
experienced trauma.
This book demonstrates that the encounter between Christianity and
various African cultures gives rise to a number of problems for
Africans who become Christians. It draws attention to certain
traditional African beliefs and practices that seem to be
incompatible with Christianity and create problems for Africans who
embrace Christianity. Against this background it argues for the
need to inculturate Christianity. It contends that in this exercise
African Christianity can learn from the attempts at inculturation
found in the New Testament times and in the early church. It offers
examples of how the early church sought to make use of
non-Christian categories of thought and elements in its
articulation of the Christian message and in worship. It suggests a
few areas of Ghanaian and African life where inculturation could
and should take place. These include funeral rites, widowhood
rites, child-naming rites, the rites of marriage, libation and
christology. It concludes by offering some guidelines for use in
the process of the inculturation of Christianity in Africa today.
