Affect, Animals, and Autists

Feeling Around the Edges of the Human in Performance

By: Marla Carlson

When theater and related forms of live performance explore the borderlands labeled animal and autism, they both reflect and affect their audiences’ understanding of what it means to be human. Affect, Animals, and Autists maps connections across performances that question the borders of the human whose neurodiverse experiences have been shaped by the diagnostic label of autism, and animal-human performance relationships that dispute and blur anthropocentric edges. By analyzing specific structures of affect with the vocabulary of emotions, Marla Carlson builds upon the conception of affect articulated by psychologist Silvan Tomkins. The book treats a diverse selection of live performance and archival video and analyzes the ways in which they affect their audiences. The range of performances includes commercially successful productions such as The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, War Horse, and The Lion King as well as to the more avant-garde and experimental theater created by Robert Wilson and Christopher Knowles, Back to Back Theatre, Elevator Repair Service, Pig Iron Theatre, and performance artist Deke Weaver.

EdPsych Modules

By: Cheryl Cisero Durwin,Marla Reese-Weber

Now with SAGE Publications, Cheryl Cisero Durwin and Marla Reese-Weber’s EdPsych Modules uses an innovative implementation of case studies and a modular format to address the challenge of effectively connecting theory and research to practice. Each module is a succinct, stand-alone topic that represents every subject found in traditional chapter texts and can be used in any order for maximum flexibility in organizing your course. Each of the book’s eight units of modules begins with a set of four case studies–early childhood, elementary, middle school, and secondary–and ends with “Assess” and “Reflect and Evaluate” questions and activities to encourage comprehension and application of the research and theories presented. The case approach and the extensive pedagogy that support it allows students to constantly see the applications of the theories and research that they are studying in the text.

The african Honey Bee

By: Marla Spivak,David J C Fletcher,Michael D Breed

This book is the first review of the scientific literature on the Africanized honey bee. The African subspecies Apis mellifera scutellata (formerly adansonii) was introduced into South America in 1956 with the intent of cross-breeding it with other subspecies of bees already present in Brazil to obtain a honey bee better adapted to tropical conditions. Shortly after its introduction, some of the African stock became established in the feral population around Sao Paulo, Brazil, and spread rapidly through Brazil. It has since migrated through most of the neotropics, displacing and/or hybridizing with the previously imported subspecies of honey bees. Africanized bees have been stereotype d as having high rates of swarming and absconding, rapid colony growth, and fierce defensivebehavior. As they have spread through the neotropics they have interacted with the human population, disrupting apiculture and urban activities when high levels of defensive behavior are expressed.

Education at the Edge of Experience

Navigating the Unassimilable

By: Marla Morris

Presenting a unique exploration of education at “the edge of experience,” this book investigates how unassimilable concepts can reconceptualize education in order to grapple with what is beyond understanding. Working at the intersection of curriculum theory, philosophy and psychoanalysis, Morris examines how each of these “unassimilable” concepts such as lament, disavowal, breathlessness, and the Kafkaesque point toward currere as the edge of experience. It addresses what Lee Braver calls “the groundless grounds” and what Avital Ronell calls “the quicksand that is philosophy” to approach slippage and breaking points through an interdisciplinary lens. Pointing to an understanding of our largely social ills and extending William F. Pinar’s early work on currere in new and innovative directions, this book will appeal to curriculum theorists, education philosophers, psychoanalysts, and those with interests in the philosophy and theory of education.

Treating Adult Survivors of Childhood Emotional Abuse and Neglect

Component-Based Psychotherapy

By: Elizabeth K. Hopper,Frances K. Grossman,Joseph Spinazzola,Marla Zucker

Component-based psychotherapy for childhood abuse is not a sequenced model, but it deliberately attends to the following four components: (1) relational, focused on client and therapist attachment styles and relational patterns with the intent of building a secure attachment as the context of the remaining work; (2) self-regulation, not only of emotions but of cognitions and behavior; (3) dissociative parts of self and their identification and elicitation; and (4) narrative construction of a coherent self. CPB does so in a way that is client-centered, flexible, and fluid, yet it is also systematic and has a structure. Each chapter offers observations of false starts, missed opportunities, pivotal interactions, and alternate approaches in response to particular exchanges between therapist and client, and highlights and builds upon interactions and interpretations perceived to bear promise"--

McCain's Navy* Class of '82

A Leadership Field Guide From John McCain's First Congressional Campaign*

By: Marla Sheiner

What They’re Saying About McCain’s Navy Class of ’82 “Preserving the legacy of Arizona’s John McCain as one of the country’s most iconic statesmen is important work for the public trust and annals of history. As McCain’s first press secretary, Marla Sheiner, brings to historians and chroniclers a collection of rare documents from his first Congressional campaign and testaments to his leadership. A memoir and tribute to McCain making us feel closer to his flame as an ardent protector and defender of democracies throughout the world.” – Greg Barr, Editor In Chief, Phoenix Business Journal “Where would we be without our mentors who show us the way? In Marla Sheiner’s memoir, McCain’s Navy* Class of ‘82, we time travel back to McCain’s first campaign when a fiery start-up staff helped him put down the shoe leather to become elected to Congress representing Arizona’s CD#1. We see in vivid detail the leadership principles that propelled them to victory. This is testament that McCain, who would later be known as The Maverick in his storied US Senate career, accepted the role as mentor to many of us–a role he accepted with duty, honor and love of country. A book for all seasons, all start-ups, candidates, and staff contemplating a run for a cause greater than themselves.” - Dr. Bill Pepicello, Former President, University of Phoenix

A Balance of Power in the United Nations Security Council?

Investigating Chinese Foreign Aid Spending and Council Membership

By: Marla van Nieuwland

Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Politics - Topic: International relations, grade: 1,3, University of Potsdam, course: Security Council and Crisis Management, language: English, abstract: Does China challenge US dominance in the UNSC by increasing foreign aid for non-permanent members? This research question will be the focus of the paper. With a look at Chinese spending on foreign aid the assumption of buying support does not seem far-fetched. Chinese foreign aid could potentially be even more effective than US aid in strategically buying support in the UNSC, because it comes without any strings attached and gives state leaders more freedom to decide over the allocation of resources. According to the realist school of thought, international politics are power politics and states constantly work to increase their power – be it economic or military power – relative to each other. And although the United States can be seen as a hegemon since the end of the cold war, unipolarity is regarded by realists as the least durable of all power configurations. China is almost caught up to the United States in terms of military spending and economic growth, the population is three times that of the US and China can already be seen as a regional hegemon in Asia. However, even though China has become more aggressive and vocal in global politics since Xi Jinping’s shift away from the “hide and bid policy” and scholars have indeed observed subtle strategies of Beijing challenging and resisting the authority of the hegemon, it remains understudied, if China also attempts to challenge US dominance in the UNSC. If the expectation of a balance of power by realists were true though, we might expect China not to let the US dominate – especially in a critical area such as international security politics – the decisions of the UNSC by strategically buying votes or support with foreign aid.
