Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Though Disappearing Persons will appeal to psychoanalysts, shame theorists, and scholars interested in the study of shame in literature and the psychoanalytic study of literature and culture, Kilborne has also made a special effort to reach a wider general audience. He carefully identifies the theoretical framework he is using and clearly defines his key terms and concepts. He also makes careful connections between his clinical vignettes and his literary examples so that the reader moves effortlessly from the clinical to the literary (and philosophical) and back again." -- J. Brooks Bouson, author of Quiet As It's Kept: Shame, Trauma, and Race in the Novels of Toni Morrison

"Kilborne brings together in striking and illuminating ways a diverse wealth of reading and research--Sophocles, Milton, Swift, Lewis Carroll, Pirandello, Kafka, Graham Greene, Kim Philby, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Sartre and Merleau-Ponty, case studies, fairy tales, and popular culture, along with the intricacies of psychoanalytic theory and his own experience as a therapist--all of which supports a fascinating exploration of the crucial role of shame and 'appearance' in the psychodynamics of human personality." -- Joseph Adamson, coeditor of Scenes of Shame: Psychoanalysis, Shame, and Writing

Reseña del editor:

Investigates the psychocultural crisis confronting our increasingly appearance-oriented, shame-driven society.
