Psycho-social Explorations of Trauma Exclusion and Violence Un-housed Minds and Inhospitable Environments

Psycho-social Explorations of Trauma Exclusion and Violence Un-housed Minds and Inhospitable Environments

The central theme of this book is the operation of intersecting discourses of power privilege and positioning as they are revealed in fraught encounters between in-groups and out-groups in our deeply fractured world. The authors offer a unique perspective on inter-group dynamics and structural violence at local societal cultural and global levels dissecting processes of toxic ‘othering’ and psychosocial (re-)traumatisation. The book offers the Diogenes Paradigm as a unique conceptual tool with which to analyse the ways in which those of us who come to be located outside or on the margins of dominant social structures are in one way or another the inheritors of the legacies of centuries of oppression and exclusion. This analysis offers a distinctive psycho-social redefinition of trauma that foregrounds the relationship between the inhospitable environments we generate and the experiences of un-housedness that we thereby perpetuate. Written in an engaging and accessible style Psycho-social Explorations of Trauma Exclusion and Violence directly addresses pressing global issues of racial trauma human mobility and climate disaster and offers a manifesto for the creative re-imagining of the places and spaces in which conversations about restructuring and reparation can become sustainable. This is an essential and compelling book for anyone committed to social justice especially for all practitioners working in health social care and community justice settings and researchers and academics across the behavioural and social sciences. | Psycho-social Explorations of Trauma Exclusion and Violence Un-housed Minds and Inhospitable Environments

Dicaearchus of Messana Text Translation and Discussion

Dicaearchus of Messana Text Translation and Discussion

Dicaearchus of Messana (fl. c. 320 b. c. ) was a peripatetic philosopher. Like Theophrastus of Eresus he was a pupil of Aristotle. Dicaearchus's life is not well documented. There is no biography by Diogenes Laertius and what the Suda offers is meager. However it can be ascertained that a close friendship existed between Aristoxenus and Dicaearchus as both are mentioned as personal students of Aristotle. Dicaearchus lived for a time in the Peleponnesus and in his pursuit of geographical studies and measuring mountains he is said to have enjoyed the patronage of kings. Dicaearchus's interests were in certain respects narrower than Aristotle's. There is no evidence that Dicaearchus worked in logic physics or metaphysics. To the contrary his work On the Soul recalls the Aristotelian treatise of the same title but Dicaearchus's work was not an esoteric treatise. Instead it was a dialogue in two parts. His interest in good and bad lifestyles also found expression in works such as On the Sacrifice at Ilium and On the Destruction of Human Beings in which he presented man himself as the greatest threat to mankind. In On Lives a work of at least two books he considered philosophers and others noted for their wisdom with his main thesis being the superiority of the active life over that of quiet contemplation. Cicero speaks of controversy between Dicaearchus and Theophrastus the former championing the active life and the latter that of contemplation. Circuit of the Earth was a work of descriptive geography in which Dicaearchus said that the earth has the shape of a globe. This interest in earth's sphericity led him to make maps and discuss other phenomena like the cause of ebb- and flood-tides and the source of the Nile River. The largest number of texts in the collection deal with cultural history most of which stem or appear to stem from his Life of Greece while the smallest section deals with politics. This tenth volume in the series Rutgers Studies in Classical Humanities includes a facing translation of the Greek and Latin texts making the material accessible to readers who lack the ancient languages and the accompanying essays introduce important issues beyond the scope of the text. | Dicaearchus of Messana Text Translation and Discussion
