Domination and the Arts of Resistance
Author: James C. Scott
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300153562
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
"Play fool, to catch wise."--proverb of Jamaican slaves Confrontations between the powerless and powerful are laden with deception--the powerless feign deference and the powerful subtly assert their mastery. Peasants, serfs, untouchables, slaves, laborers, and prisoners are not free to speak their minds in the presence of power. These subordinate groups instead create a secret discourse that represents a critique of power spoken behind the backs of the dominant. At the same time, the powerful also develop a private dialogue about practices and goals of their rule that cannot be openly avowed. In this book, renowned social scientist James C. Scott offers a penetrating discussion both of the public roles played by the powerful and powerless and the mocking, vengeful tone they display off stage--what he terms their public and hidden transcripts. Using examples from the literature, history, and politics of cultures around the world, Scott examines the many guises this interaction has taken throughout history and the tensions and contradictions it reflects. Scott describes the ideological resistance of subordinate groups--their gossip, folktales, songs, jokes, and theater--their use of anonymity and ambiguity. He also analyzes how ruling elites attempt to convey an impression of hegemony through such devices as parades, state ceremony, and rituals of subordination and apology. Finally, he identifies--with quotations that range from the recollections of American slaves to those of Russian citizens during the beginnings of Gorbachev's glasnost campaign--the political electricity generated among oppressed groups when, for the first time, the hidden transcript is spoken directly and publicly in the face of power. His landmark work will revise our understanding of subordination, resistance, hegemony, folk culture, and the ideas behind revolt.

And most certainly, get rid of the notion of a woman being a conquest that you are out to discover. There is far more to the secrets of learning how to dominate a woman in bed. Let me tell you right away that if you think you are going to learn how to dominate a woman out of a book you are fooled. Do women want to be dominated in bed? Women today are smart, confident, bold, aggressive just like men. This doesn't mean that they still don't want to be dominated in the bedroom. They DO. And they expect you to know how to dominate them "right". This book will teach you what "right" mean. You will get an insight into some of the mysterious ways that combine seduction, examples and tips on domination, and a reminder of what it means to be a man in the bedroom. It's elusive and tricky, to say the least, and when you get there, you will know it. There is a little bit of psychology (okay a lot) that you will have to understand.

Stated Choice Methods
Author: Jordan J. Louviere
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107717515
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
Understanding and predicting the behaviour of decision makers when choosing among discrete goods has been one of the most fruitful areas of applied research over the last thirty years. An understanding of individual consumer behaviour can lead to significant changes in product or service design, pricing strategy, distribution channel and communication strategy selection, as well as public welfare analysis. This graduate and practitioner guide, first published in 2000, deals with the study and prediction of consumer choice behaviour, concentrating on stated preference (SP) methods - placing decision makers in controlled experiments that yield hypothetical choices - rather than revealed preferences (RP) - actual choices in the market. It shows how SP methods can be implemented, from experimental design to econometric modelling, and suggests how to combine RP and SP data to get the best from each type. The book also presents an update of econometric approaches to choice modelling.

Lacan's Clinical Technique
Author: Antonio Quinet
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429901305
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
How do psychoanalysts act during analysis? When does treatment start? How long does a session or treatment last? How much does it cost? What does analytical interpretation entail? What is the final aim of analysis? These are the main issues Antonio Quinet addresses for clinical psychoanalysts and students in training. This is not a do-it-yourself book or a step-by-step manual, but rather an examination of Freudian and Lacanian techniques based on psychoanalytical theory and ethics. The ideas examined are grounded in the structure of subjectivity, and the basic assumption that analysts have taken their own analysis to the end. It is from thereon that the will have the analyst's desire as a practicla tool for their own clinical practice. Antonio Quinet's contribution regarding the start of treatment comes from his updated examination of Freudian concepts through Lacanian mathemes. This approach has made this book's first version a best seller in Brazil, with over 30,000 copies sold.
