Becoming Human

From Pointing Gestures to Syntax

By: Teresa Bejarano

What do the pointing gesture, the imitation of new complex motor patterns, the evocation of absent objects and the grasping of others false beliefs all have in common? Apart from being (one way or other) involved in the language, they all would share a demanding requirement a second mental centre within the subject. This redefinition of the simulationism is extended in the present book in two directions. Firstly, mirror-neurons and, likewise, animal abilities connected with the visual field of their fellows, although they certainly constitute important landmarks, would not require this second mental centre. Secondly, others beliefs would have given rise not only to predicative communicative function but also to pre-grammatical syntax. The inquiry about the evolutionary-historic origin of language focuses on the cognitive requirements on it as a faculty (but not to the indirect causes such as environmental changes or greater co-operation), pays attention to children, and covers other human peculiarities as well, e.g., symbolic play, protodeclaratives, self-conscious emotions, and interactional or four-hand tasks.

The Syllables of Time

Proust and the History of Reading

By: Teresa Whitington

This study reveals reading to be one of the main activities to occupy the inhabitants of the world of Marcel Prousts novel A la recherche du temps perdu. Characters do not just read books but have access to the journals and newspapers of a rapidly expanding print industry. They receive letters and postcards from family and friends. The posters of a nascent advertising industry tempt them to spend an evening at the theatre or a holiday by the sea, and new forms of communication, such as telegraphy, enter their lives and require new strategies of deciphering. All human activity is glossed by means of a series of metaphors of reading, extending the readers domain beyond the written text. Through a series of illuminating analyses, Teresa Whitington shows how this web of references builds into a specifically Proustian account of both the outer, social context of reading and the inner, psychological world of the reader. Proust offers a contribution to the history of reading in the France of his own lifetime and suggests that reading is the very condition of the writing of his fiction.

A Corporate Psychopath

Tactics Used to Destroy Good Workers

By: Teresa A. Deygoo

Is your boss characterized by traits such as self-centeredness, ambition, and an unwavering pursuit of power? These attributes might have played a role in their ascent to a position of authority. Despite appearing caring and empathetic to others, your boss has effectively honed the skill of manipulating those around them. If you can identify with this scenario, it is conceivable that you are working under the influence of a corporate psychopath. A Corporate Psychopath is based on the four and a half years that author Teresa A. Deygoo worked under a corporate psychopath. Written from a theocentric viewpoint, this memoir examines the nature of criminal and corporate psychopaths—their origins and behaviours, and ultimately their impact on those around them. The author offers valuable insights into the motives and behaviours of workplace psychopaths. A Corporate Psychopath is an awakening—for companies, workers, and society. Prior to working with the corporate psychopath, the author did not recognize any indicators of a corporate psychopath until it was too late, but after reading this book, you will.

British Women and the Intellectual World in the Long Eighteenth Century

By: Teresa Barnard

Highlighting the remarkable women who found ways around the constraints placed on their intellectual growth, this collection of essays shows how their persistence opened up attributes of potent female imagination, radical endeavour, literary vigour, and self-education that compares well with male intellectual achievement in the long eighteenth century. Disseminating their knowledge through literary and documentary prose with unapologetic self-confidence, women such as Anna Barbauld, Anna Seward, Elizabeth Inchbald and Joanna Baillie usurped subjects perceived as masculine to contribute to scientific, political, philosophical and theological debate and progress. This multifaceted exploration goes beyond traditional readings of women’s creativity to add fresh, at times controversial, insights into the female view of the intellectual world. Bringing together leading experts on British women’s lives, work and writings, the volume seeks to rediscover women’s appropriations of masculine disciplines and to examine their interventions into the intellectual world. Through their engagement with a unique perspective on women’s lives and achievements, the essays make important contributions to the existing body of knowledge in this important area that will inform future scholarship.
