Images for Self-Recognition

Author: David Baily Harned
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532692064
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 248

Book Description
With clear purpose and remarkable style, David Baily Harned writes about our identity as an imaginative act of mind and spirit. In this important theological work, Harned shows that the “master images” of self as player, sufferer, and vandal are fundamental ways of understanding who we are and what we might be in our lifetime. The book points out that conflicting images of ourselves often develop out of our social relationships and our bodily experiences. Some images are more important than others, and it is these “master images” that express what is most fundamental to our self-understanding. The extent to which the master images are recognized by us and allowed to subdue lesser images determines our stability and wholeness as persons. Recognition of God’s presence, especially as it is disclosed to us in hearing and sensing, is the primary way to growth in wisdom, character, and virtue.

How to See the World

Author: Nicholas Mirzoeff
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0141977418
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 272

Book Description
In recent decades, we have witnessed an explosion in the number of visual images we encounter, as our lives have become increasingly saturated with screens. From Google Images to Instagram, video games to installation art, this transformation is confusing, liberating and worrying all at once, since observing the new visuality of culture is not the same as understanding it. Nicholas Mirzoeff is a leading figure in the field of visual culture, which aims to make sense of this extraordinary explosion of visual experiences. As Mirzoeff reminds us, this is not the first visual revolution; the 19th century saw the invention of film, photography and x-rays, and the development of maps, microscopes and telescopes made the 17th century an era of visual discovery. But the sheer quantity of images produced on the internet today has no parallels. In the first book to define visual culture for the general reader, Mirzoeff draws on art history, theory and everyday experience to provide an engaging and accessible overview of how visual materials shape and define our lives.

Author: Seymour Fisher
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 131778460X

This volume documents how sexual practices and fictions infiltrate and are influenced by a person's feelings about the self and the body. Using paradigms derived from self and body image theory, Fisher combines research from the past several decades dealing with sexual behavior to test major theories concerning diverse sexual phenomena.

The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life

Author: Erving Goffman
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0593468295
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 272

Book Description
A notable contribution to our understanding of ourselves. This book explores the realm of human behavior in social situations and the way that we appear to others. Dr. Goffman uses the metaphor of theatrical performance as a framework. Each person in everyday social intercourse presents himself and his activity to others, attempts to guide and cotnrol the impressions they form of him, and employs certain techniques in order to sustain his performance, just as an actor presents a character to an audience. The discussions of these social techniques offered here are based upon detailed research and observation of social customs in many regions.

God Images and Self Esteem

Author: Carroll Saussy
Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press
ISBN: 9780664251994
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 196

Book Description
Carroll Saussy believes that women, especially, have difficulty with self-esteem because their lives are shaped and controlled by patriarchal rules and roles that make them second-class citizens. Only in recent decades and in highly educated or politically active communities have women awakened to and begun to expose the damaging effects of the domination-subordination soul of patriarchy. Saussy takes a theological and ideological approach in reviewing the system that fosters such poor self-esteem.
