Book Description
This book explores the concept that the reality which is created by the consciousness inherent in the Western worldview is exceptionally limiting and probably unsustainable. After describing the contexts within which the book was written the author documents his personal journey in search of wholeness and meaning. From his experience of this journey he suggests that the wisdom, insight, and praxis contained within - what he describes as the meta-narratives of - Holism, Indigenous cultures, and Eastern traditions are manifestations of a holistic consciousness. The author explores the concept that a shift to such a holistic consciousness is required in order to redress the imbalance that is evident in all humanity's relationships, and he suggests that enabling such a shift in consciousness would have deep implications for the concepts and contexts of community, adult learning, meaningful work, and sustainability.

Book Description
Perhaps the most important conclusion we might draw from Jung is that Christ's work of redemption is not complete because it only reached consciousness. The coming of Christ meant that evil was repressed to the unconscious psyche from where it erupts in periodic bouts of conflict such as we saw in the last century. The archetypes of the collective unconscious that provide the framework of reality have no morality and it remains for the individual to fill the archetypes with their own meaning and moral direction or else they will have none, just alternating patterns of light and dark, Antichrist and redeemer, war and peace. How could one ever hope to approach such a task? Such is the subject of Jung's most important work. Jung deconstructed Christianity and alchemy, taking both back to its most psychologically important symbolic material, before putting the pieces back together again in an 'individuation process' that seeks to integrate the core archetypes, ultimately leading to the realisation of a transcendent Self. This brings a renewal of the Christ symbol in an individual symbol of the Self that integrates the unconscious psyche. The challenge for the reader is that Jung was writing in exploratory fashion and so individuation is not addressed in one place but rather dealt with piecemeal through the Collected Works, a large and intimidating body of work. Even so it is the definitive source where the reader must ultimately go to get the most from individuation. There is however a place for a bridging work that helps orientate the reader and set the scene. Such is the goal of this book. Having taken so much from Jung in my own life, it is my humble attempt to give something back. I use the concept of the theatre to take us into Jung because it has certain features that aid in understanding the structure of the psyche, and also a structure that can provide a more grounded and familiar context for the rest of Jung's work.The book includes a Foreword by Jacquie Flecknoe-Brown, a Jungian analyst and author of The Dreamer's Odyssey.

Book Description
With a common focus on the decisions made by filmmakers, the essays in this collection explore different aspects of the relationship between textual detail and broader conceptual frameworks. These texts reflect not only those areas of film history which have traditionally been explored through mise-en-scène criticism, but also areas such as the avant-garde and television drama which have not tended to receive such detailed investigation. In these ways, the book conducts a series of dialogues with issues in film study which are specifically provoked by close analysis.

Book Description
Natural languages – idioms such as English and Cantonese, Zulu and Amharic, Basque and Nicaraguan Sign Language – allow their speakers to convey meaning and transmit meaning to one another. But what is meaning exactly? What is this thing that words convey and speakers communicate? Few questions are as elusive as this. Yet, few features are as essential to who we are and what we do as human beings as the capacity to convey meaning through language. In this book, Gaetano Fiorin and Denis Delfitto disclose a notion of linguistic meaning that is structured around three distinct, yet interconnected dimensions: a linguistic dimension, relating meaning to the linguistic forms that convey it; a material dimension, relating meaning to the material and social conditions of its environment; and a psychological dimension, relating meaning to the cognitive lives of its users. By paying special attention to the puzzle surrounding first-person reference – the way speakers exploit language to refer to themselves – and by capitalizing on a number of recent findings in the cognitive sciences, Fiorin and Delfitto develop the original hypothesis that meaningful language shares the same underlying logical and metaphysical structure of sense perception, effectively acting as a system of classification and discrimination at the interface between cognitive agents and their ecologies.
