People's History

Reviving the liberatory potential of psychoanalysis

Gabarron-Garcia F: A People's History of
Psychoanalysis / LF

A People's History of Psychoanalysis

'In the best traditions of "history from below", Raquel Varela and Roberto della Santa restore two hundred years of class struggle in Portugal to where it belongs'&nbsp;Andy Durgan, historian and author of Volunteers for the Revolution

'A remarkable achievement - sweeping in scope, beautifully written, and politically alive on every page'&nbsp;Yassamine Mather,&nbsp;Middle East Centre, University of Oxford

'Forceful, vigorous, and passionate'&nbsp;Ricardo Antunes, Professor of Sociology at University of Campinas

A People's History of Portugal reconstructs the last two hundred years of class struggle in Portugal. Raquel Varela and Roberto della Santa examine the material conditions of its people - examining the real causes of the revolutionary waves and counter-revolutionary backlash.

Starting in the early nineteenth century, the theme of colonialism and its antithesis runs through the narrative, as working-class life was closely entwined with Portuguese colonial exploitation. Despite relatively slow industrial development, Portuguese people spearheaded a surprisingly vigorous radical culture of dissent, eventually sparking a social and political revolution in 1974. More recently, Portugal's inclusion in the European Union has put its people in a neoliberal stranglehold that stifles democracy to this day. Are the working people of Portugal able to carry the memory of the revolutionary past into its future? This is a history of, and for, the people.

Raquel Varela is a professor at New University of Lisbon, and Honorary Fellow at the International Institute for Social History. She is the author of A People's History of the Portuguese Revolution, A People's History of Europe, and the graphic novel Utopia, with Robson Villalba.

Roberto della Santa is an Integrated Researcher at the Open University of Lisbon, and Scientific Co-Coordinator of the OCVT/UNL. He is the co-author of The 25th of April Began in Africa, Working and Living in the 21st Century, and Global Labour Studies (in Portuguese).

A new history of the idea of Europe from Ancient Greece to the present 'A magisterial history, written with great panache, that is both enlightening and deeply readable. A true tour de force - Peter Frankopan What do we talk about when we talk about Europe? Is it defined by geography? Or is it politics, or shared culture? In Europe, award-winning historian Roderick Beaton tells the story of Europe as never before - as the history of an idea, and a collective identity. Since its dramatic birth in ancient Greece, 'Europe' has been defined, and redefined, by its people. Through this powerful lens, and with the narrative drive and scope of a novelist, Beaton deftly surveys Europe's major historical developments: the rise and fall of Rome; the explosion of Christianity; the intellectual ferment of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment; the arrival of Europeans in the Americas; the violent upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and the uncertainties of the present. Throughout, original sources allow the voices of the past, from Tacitus to Thatcher, to speak for themselves. Grappling with the multilayered identities that have always come with being European, Europe places the Europe of today in a long arc of history stretching back more than 2,500 years.

*AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER* WINNER OF THE POLITIKEN LITERATURE PRIZE 2024 'Brilliantly rewrites the history of economic thought to place 'her story' at its heart. A must-read' - Kate Raworth, author of DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS How can we create a better future - one that truly prioritises health and happiness? For too long, economic thinkers have left out 'women's work' and acts of care from their calculations, resulting in terrible real-world consequences today: crumbling public services, struggling schools and care systems on the brink of collapse. In Deficit, prominent Danish thinker Emma Holten reveals how and why this happened, and argues that the things that matter - doing homework with your child, checking in on loved ones, talking to a colleague who doesn't seem well - might seem inconsequential, but are in fact the building blocks of the economy. Urgent and incisive, this is a manifesto for rethinking the economic value of care. 'One of the most important feminist voices of the 21st century' - Sofie Hagen

The book looks at the investment in shipping by Aberystwyth locals in the mid nineteenth century, when Aberystwyth was amongst the most prominent of the 'lesser' ports of England and Wales, outside places like London, Liverpool and Hull, in terms of the tonnage of its registered fleet. It looks at the occupations of investors and identifies a major contribution by many with no direct connection to shipping or the sea other than living close to it. In effect, because of the lack of local banking, shares in shipping became something akin to a local, tradeable, currency. It also looks at how registers of shipping can be a fruitful source for family historians.

When My Ship Comes Home

'Entertaining and vivid... This is a gripping account of an intriguing and little-known Cold War moment' OBSERVER'Reads like a thriller' THE SUNThe astonishing story of the ten million books that were smuggled across the Iron Curtain during the Cold War.For almost five decades after the Second World War, Europe was divided by the longest and most heavily guarded border on earth. The Iron Curtain, a near-impenetrable barrier of wire and wall, tank traps, minefields, watchtowers and men with dogs, stretched for 4,300 miles from the Arctic to the Black Sea. No physical combat would take place along this frontier: the risk of nuclear annihilation was too high for that. Instead, the conflict would be fought in the psychological sphere. It was a battle for hearts, minds and intellects.No one understood this more clearly than George Minden, the head of a covert intelligence operation known as the 'CIA books programme', which aimed to win the Cold War with literature.From its Manhattan headquarters, Minden's global CIA 'book club' would infiltrate millions of banned titles into the Eastern Bloc, written by a vast and eclectic list of authors, including Hannah Arendt and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, George Orwell and Agatha Christie. Volumes were smuggled on trucks and aboard yachts, dropped from balloons, and hidden in the luggage of hundreds of thousands of individual travellers. Once inside Soviet bloc, each book would circulate secretly among dozens of like-minded readers, quietly turning them into dissidents. Latterly, underground print shops began to reproduce the books, too. By the late 1980s, illicit literature in Poland was so pervasive that the system of communist censorship broke down, and the Iron Curtain soon followed.Charlie English tells this true story of spycraft, smuggling and secret printing operations for the first time, highlighting the work of a handful of extraordinary people who risked their lives to stand up to the intellectual strait-jacket Stalin created. People like Miroslaw Chojecki, an underground Polish publisher who endured beatings, force-feeding and exile in service of this mission. And Minden, the CIA's mastermind, who didn't waver in his belief that truth, culture, and diversity of thought could help free the 'captive nations' of Eastern Europe. This is a story about the power of the printed word as a means of resistance and liberation. Books, it shows, can set you free.

Social Media for Research Impact

Dodging and Confronting Stigma examines the lives of people who were stigmatized or marginalized in Japan’s late classical and medieval ages. Often characterized as beggars, they in fact pursued a wide range of occupations and lifestyles, even while haunted by discrimination and exploitation. They developed skills, acquired property rights, and even manipulated the elite who controlled them, thereby achieving some degree of self-determination. Outcasts are frequently mentioned in the records of Buddhist temples, and the variety of references provides evidence for the many ways they participated in medieval religious life: as cleansers of pollution, as cremation and burial workers, as objects of salvific efforts—and as guards and enforcers in an increasingly militarized religious establishment. 	 	 	Complex and stratified, outcast society as a whole included people who demanded their rights through litigation and arms, just as did others in Japan’s medieval world. The emergence, especially in the late medieval age, of people who occupied marginal positions in society—neither wholly stigmatized nor wholly free of stigma—complicates the picture. Such marginal people included bearers of Japanese culture such as garden designers, theatrical performers, and shamans, making it impossible to simply write them off as social pariahs or victims of discrimination. Janet Goodwin demonstrates that outcast and marginal society was a complex one whose members fulfilled diverse functions necessary to medieval society, formed complex relationships with institutions and individuals of power, and made enduring contributions to medieval culture. 	 	 	Most studies of late classical and medieval Japan focus on elites: monarchs and courtiers, powerful warriors, and high-ranking religious figures. Indeed, these are the people who appear prominently in sources of the time. However, tantalizing pictures of outcast and marginal people appear in an array of sources such as aristocrats’ diaries, legal documents, tales, scrolls, and screen paintings, among others. In emphasizing people at the bottom of society and on its margins, and the ways that they dodged and confronted stigma, this book broadens the picture of Japanese society of the time.

'An exhilarating exploration of how we've been touched by the cosmos across human history' LEWIS DARTNELL 'Combines scientific expertise with vivid storytelling and a childlike wonder that shines on every page' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT What draws us to the night sky and how can we make sense of all that lies there? In this unique synthesis of science and culture, former astrophysicist and writer Joanne Baker charts the global history of humanity's relationship with the cosmos. Starting with the nearby Moon before venturing through the solar system to the stars and beyond, she unveils a rich mosaic of stories and research that illuminate the significance of celestial bodies in our everyday lives. It is a history that transcends borders and cultural traditions, taking us from Mesopotamian moon worship to the science fiction of H. G. Wells and the discovery of black holes. Driven by a personal quest to understand the universe as more than just an abstract mathematical realm, Baker also includes her own sparkling first-hand experiences - from watching a total solar eclipse in Idaho to visiting an ancient observatory in Samarkand. Starwatchers invites readers on an extraordinary journey through space that interrogates the boundaries of our earthly existence and encourages us to reflect on how we project meaning onto the skies.

Revealing the people behind the Rothschild name, The Rothschilds explores the lives and legacy of one of the best-known and most impactful families in modern history The Rothschild name has long been synonymous with wealth and privilege, but as Jews the family has also been dogged by prejudice and hatred. Antisemitism followed them from their earliest beginnings in the oppressive Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt, where Jews were not allowed out after nightfall, to the lofty summits of high finance, art, and culture. However, behind the myths, the glamor, and the conspiracy theories are a group of relatives whose individualism, personalities and occasional eccentricities have been obscured by their shared surname. In The Rothschilds, Harry Freedman delves into their lives on a historical tour, marked as much by dry British humor as by an unfailing attention to the influence of individual family members on world events. Freedman takes us from the genesis of the Rothschild international banking empire to the impact of individual Rothschilds in multiple fields over the past 250 years. Spanning war, politics and the industrial revolution, art, architecture and interior design, zoology, smuggling, counter-terrorism and the ongoing struggle against entrenched anti-Jewish bigotry, he reveals a truly new story of a very old family. The Rothschilds makes a great contribution not only to Jewish history but also our understanding of a dynasty that has shaped our world. &nbsp;
