The Rhetoric of Perspective

Realism and Illusionism in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Still-Life Painting

By: Hanneke Grootenboer

Perspective determines how we, as viewers, perceive painting. We can convince ourselves that a painting of a bowl of fruit or a man in a room appears to be real by the way these objects are rendered. Likewise, the trick of perspective can prevent us from being absorbed in a scene. Connecting contemporary critical theory with close readings of seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture, The Rhetoric of Perspective puts forth the claim that painting is a form of thinking and that perspective functions as the language of the image. Aided by a stunning full-color gallery, Hanneke Grootenboer proposes a new theory of perspective based on the phenomenological aspects of non-narrative still-life, trompe l'oeil, and anamorphic imagery. Drawing on playful and mesmerizing baroque images, Grootenboer characterizes what she calls their "sophisticated deceit," asserting that painting is more about visual representation than about its supposed objects. Offering an original theory of perspective's impact on pictorial representation, the act of looking, and the understanding of truth in painting, Grootenboer shows how these paintings both question the status of representation and explore the limits and credibility of perception. “An elegant and honourable synthesis.”—Keith Miller, Times Literary Supplement

The Pensive Image

Art as a Form of Thinking

By: Hanneke Grootenboer

Grootenboer considers painting as a form of thinking in itself, rather than a subject of philosophical and interpretive thought. While the philosophical dimension of painting has long been discussed, a clear case for painting as a form of visual thinking has yet to be made. Traditionally, vanitas still life paintings are considered to raise ontological issues while landscapes direct the mind toward introspection. Grootenboer moves beyond these considerations to focus on what remains unspoken in painting, the implicit and inexpressible that manifests in a quality she calls pensiveness. Different from self-aware or actively desiring images, pensive images are speculative, pointing beyond interpretation. An alternative pictorial category, pensive images stir us away from interpretation and toward a state of suspension where thinking through and with the image can start. In fluid prose, Grootenboer explores various modalities of visual thinking— as the location where thought should be found, as a refuge enabling reflection, and as an encounter that provokes thought. Through these considerations, she demonstrates that artworks serve as models for thought as much as they act as instruments through which thinking can take place. Starting from the premise that painting is itself a type of thinking, The Pensive Image argues that art is capable of forming thoughts and shaping concepts in visual terms.

The Unexpected Third

By: Hanneke Meulink-Korf,Aat van Rhijn

‘We believe that a person always stands before God, hand in hand with others, and at the same time with others before God.’ With these words the authors, theologians and therapists, alert us to the importance of understanding a person within her or his relational network (context). This context refers not only to the current relational network but also to the generations before us and the generations to come. In this way the conflicts of the past generations but also their resources, influence the people of the current generation and this in turn has an influence on the unborn generations. Family loyalty predetermines the choices we make and the priorities we set. How can family loyalty be a liberating motivation as a legacy for living with each other but also for meeting with others outside the family and even outside their own heritage and influences regarding e.g. ethnicity, culture, politics and religion/church? The aim of the contextual pastoral care approach is to develop a greater understanding between people and culture within their specific contexts and participate in restoring trust and trustworthiness within their relations. In this way God is in our midst on our journey towards fairness, trust and hope. This intergenerational dialogical approach was inspired by the work of the Hungarian /American family therapist and psychiatrist, Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy, and was later in turn inspired by scholars such as Martin Buber and Emmanuel Levinas. The Unexpected Third is used in many pastoral courses, academic, post- academic and practical, in the Netherlands and in Eastern-Europe. It is received as a meaningful contribution to Practical Theology and Pastoral care for individual counselling, family care and also for reworking certain conflicts in the parish and community.

Revitalizing Relationships

The Resources of Contextual Therapy with inspiration from the pastoral process and interfaith studies

By: Catherine Du Commun-Nagy,Hanneke Meulink-Korf,Greteke De Vries

For contextual therapists, contextually oriented pastoral counselors and their students, this is a longawaited textbook on the approach founded by Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy, one of the pioneers of family therapy which has been updated with a new terminology and new explanations in a highly understandable language. For readers coming from the field of individual therapy, couple and family therapy of any school, and for practitioners in the field of health and human services, this book can open new ways of thinking and new strategies to address many of the situations they are likely to encounter. The book offers answers to questions such as: How to help children and families who have been affected by the multigenerational consequences of relational and systemic injustices or by violence? How to help teens who display antisocial behaviors to re-engage positively in society? How to help individuals to balance their loyalty to their family with their own personal aspirations? How to help groups to discover that group loyalty does not have to be an obstacle to intergroup solidarity? In addition, in a format never tried before, this book includes a discussion of the contributions of contextual therapy to practical theology and the pastoral process. It also shows the relevance of the approach for interreligious studies and interfaith encounters in a world that is increasingly diverse and polarized. Conversely, it spells out what contextual therapists and other practitioners can learn from these fields. Professionals who abide by secularism or adhere to non‑Christian religious and spiritual practices may be taken by surprise but they will quickly discover that this book and the inspiration offered by the pastoral process and interfaith studies for the revitalization of relationships can bring a lot to any reader who believes in shared universal human values.

Forever fluid

A reading of Luce Irigaray’s Elemental Passions

By: Hanneke Canters,Grace M. Jantzen

Forever Fluid is a rich feast of literary and philosophical insight. It provides the first English commentary on Luce Irigaray’s poetic text, Elemental Passions, setting it within its context within continental thought. It explores Irigaray’s images and intentions, developing the gender drama that takes place within her book, and draws the reader into the conversation in the text between ‘I-woman’ and ‘you-man’. But the book is also much more than this, as it uses the exploration of sexual difference as a means to challenge the system of binary logic which has pervaded western thought since Aristotle. It develops the exciting idea of a fluid logic which can move beyond oppositions to multiple subjects and creativity of thought and action. While challenging Irigaray’s refusal to move beyond sexual difference, the book shows how her representation of sexual difference enables appreciation of difference of all kinds.

Essential Statistics for Applied Linguistics

Using R or JASP

By: Hanneke Loerts,Wander Lowie,Bregtje Seton

Assuming no prior knowledge, this text provides a concise, practical and accessible introduction to using, analysing and interpreting statistics and methodologies in empirical work using R or JASP. It takes an activity-based approach, in which students are first stimulated to consider a problem or question and find their own solution before the conventional way of solving that problem or question is introduced. 'How To' guides on R and JASP, which take students step-by-step through statistical analyses and practical assignments, are available on the book's companion website. This book will be an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of applied linguistics. New to this Edition: - Now focuses on R and JASP, two increasingly popular open source softwares used by linguists - 'How To' guides to help students strengthen their understanding and apply what they have learnt available on a companion site - Contains more comprehensive coverage of effect sizes, basic methods, regression theory, relationship studies and non-parametric tests

Churches, Chaplains and the Great War

By: Hanneke Takken

This book is an international comparative study of the British, German and French military chaplains during the First World War. It describes their role, position and daily work within the army and how the often conflicting expectations of the church, the state, the military and the soldiers effected these. This study seeks to explain similarities and differences between the chaplaincies by looking at how the pre-war relations between church, state and society influenced the work of these army chaplains.

Treasuring the Gaze

Intimate Vision in Late Eighteenth-Century Eye Miniatures

By: Hanneke Grootenboer

The end of the eighteenth century saw the start of a new craze in Europe: tiny portraits of single eyes that were exchanged by lovers or family members. Worn as brooches or pendants, these minuscule eyes served the same emotional need as more conventional mementoes, such as lockets containing a coil of a loved one’s hair. The fashion lasted only a few decades, and by the early 1800s eye miniatures had faded into oblivion. Unearthing these portraits in Treasuring the Gaze, Hanneke Grootenboer proposes that the rage for eye miniatures—and their abrupt disappearance—reveals a knot in the unfolding of the history of vision. Drawing on Alois Riegl, Jean-Luc Nancy, Marcia Pointon, Melanie Klein, and others, Grootenboer unravels this knot, discovering previously unseen patterns of looking and strategies for showing. She shows that eye miniatures portray the subject’s gaze rather than his or her eye, making the recipient of the keepsake an exclusive beholder who is perpetually watched. These treasured portraits always return the looks they receive and, as such, they create a reciprocal mode of viewing that Grootenboer calls intimate vision. Recounting stories about eye miniatures—including the role one played in the scandalous affair of Mrs. Fitzherbert and the Prince of Wales, a portrait of the mesmerizing eye of Lord Byron, and the loss and longing incorporated in crying eye miniatures—Grootenboer shows that intimate vision brings the gaze of another deep into the heart of private experience. With a host of fascinating imagery from this eccentric and mostly forgotten yet deeply private keepsake, Treasuring the Gaze provides new insights into the art of miniature painting and the genre of portraiture.

Dialogue Interpreting in Mental Health

Dialogue Interpreting in Mental Health

By: Hanneke Bot

In this era of globalisation, the use of interpreters is becoming increasingly important in business meetings and negotiations, government and non-government organisations, health care and public service in general. This book focuses specifically on the involvement of interpreters in mental health sessions. It offers a theoretical foundation to aid the understanding of the role-issues at stake for both interpreters and therapists in this kind of dialogue. In addition to this, the study relies on the detailed analysis of a corpus of videotaped therapy sessions. The theoretical foundation is thus linked to what actually takes place in this type of talk. Conclusions are then drawn about the feasibility and desirability of certain discussion techniques. Dialogue Interpreting in Mental Health offers insight into the processes at work when two people talk with the help of an interpreter and will be of value to linguists specialising in intercultural communication, health care professionals, interpreters and anyone working in multilingual situations who already uses or is planning to use an interpreter.

Metaphors in the Discussion on Suffering in Job 3–31

Visions of Hope and Consolation

By: Hanneke van Loon

In Metaphors in the Discussion on Suffering in Job 3–31, Hanneke van Loon offers a new approach to the theme of suffering in the book of Job. Her analysis of metaphors demonstrates that Job goes through different stages of existential suffering in chapters 3–14 and that he addresses the social dimension of his suffering in chapters 17 and 19. Van Loon claims that Job’s existential suffering ends in 19:25, and that chapters 23–31 reflect a process in which Job translates his own experience into a call upon the audience to adopt a new attitude toward the unfortunate ones in society. The theoretical approach to metaphors is based on insights from cognitive linguistics.
