The Dramaturgy of the Door examines the door as a critical but
under-explored feature of theatre and performance, asking how doors
function on stage, in site-specific practice and in performances of
place. This first book-length study on the topic argues that doors
engage in and help to shape broad phenomena of performance across
key areas of critical enquiry in the field. Doors open up questions
of theatrical space(s) and artistic encounters with place(s),
design and architecture, bodies and movement, interior versus
exterior, im/materiality, the relationship between the real and the
imaginary, and processes of transformation. As doors separate
places and practices, they also invite us to see connections and
contradictions between each one and to consider the ways in which
doors frame the world beyond the stage and between places of
performance. With a wide-ranging set of examples - from
Shakespeare's Macbeth to performance installations in the Mojave
Desert - The Dramaturgy of the Door is aimed at performance makers
and artists as well as advanced students and scholars in the fields
of performance studies, cultural theory, and visual arts.
Performing Home is the first sustained study of the ways in which
artists create artworks in, and in response to, domestic dwellings.
In the context of growing interest in ideas and practices that
cross between architecture, arts practice and performance, it is
valuable to understand what happens when artists make work in and
about specific buildings. This is particularly important with
domestic dwellings, which can be bound up with experiences, issues,
practices and understandings of home. The book focuses on a range
of recent artistic projects to identify and investigate critical
ways by which artists practise domestic dwellings. In doing so, it
addresses the ways in which artists enquire into a dwelling, are
resident in a dwelling, adapt the form of a dwelling, practise a
mobile dwelling, and make a dwelling. By considering these
practices together, Andrews demonstrates the breadth and
significance of recent artistic engagement in and with domestic
dwellings and highlights the contribution that artistic practice
can make to the ways in which we understand the form and practice
of a building. Performing Home will be of particular relevance to
scholars, students and practitioners in architecture, art and
performance, to those in geography, material culture and cultural
studies, and to anyone seeking to make sense of the place in which
they live.

The Rediscovery of America features some twenty representatives of
England, France and America, whose careers in some sense straddled
the Atlantic in the last quarter of the eighteenth century. While
not establishing causal links between the American and French
Revolutions, the collective weight of these individual responses to
the new America supports the idea of an 'Atlantic Revolution'. This
study of the writings and transatlantic experiences of the
revolutionary generation shows the power of American images in
shaping political rhetoric, if not political reality.
This hands-on manual from Leigh McCullough and associates teaches
the nuts and bolts of practicing short-term dynamic psychotherapy,
the research-supported model first presented in Changing Character,
McCullough's foundational text. Reflecting the ongoing evolution of
the approach, the manual emphasizes affect phobia, or conflict
about feelings. It shows how such proven behavioral techniques as
systemic desensitization can be applied effectively within a
psychodynamic framework, and offers clear guidelines for when and
how to intervene. Demonstrated are procedures for assessing
patients, formulating core conflicts, and restructuring defenses,
affects, and relationship to the self and others. In an
easy-to-use, large-size format, the book features a wealth of case
examples and write-in exercises for building key clinical skills.
The companion website (www.affectphobiatherapy.com) offers useful
supplemental resources, including Psychotherapy Assessment
Checklist (PAC) forms and instructions.
The Unitarian confrontation with the late 18th century political establishment is reflected in published sermons, pamphlets, and parliamentary debates. Price and Priestley were only the most notorious members of a well-educated, close-knit, and highly articulate intellectual opposition, all the more formidable for dominating the major literary reviews. Focusing on many lesser-known dissenting polemicists, this study uncovers unexpected continuities in Unitarian critiques of government policies and questions whether Burke was justified in equating antitrinitarians with French republicans.
