Abstract

This collective volume focuses on two closely connected issues whose common denominator is the embattled notion of the subject. The first concerns the controversies on the nature of the subject and related notions, such as the concepts of 'I' and 'self'. From both theoretical and historical viewpoints, several of the contributors show how different and incompatible perspectives on the subject can help us understand today's world, its habits, style, power relations, and attitudes. For this purpose, use is made of insights in a broad range of disciplines, such as sociology, psychoanalysis, pragmatics, intellectual history, and anthropology. This interdisciplinary approach helps to clarify the multifaceted character of the subject and the role it plays nowadays as well as over the centuries.The second issue concerns the subject in inter-personal as well as in intra-personal controversies. The enquiry here focuses on the ways in which different aspects of the subject and subjective differences affect the conduct, content, and rationality of controversies with others as well as within oneself on a variety of topics. Among such aspects, the contributors analyse the subject's emotions, cognitive states, argumentative practices, and individual and collective identity. The interaction between the two issues, the controversies on the subject and the subject of controversies, sheds new light on the debate on modernity and its alleged crisis.

Abstract

Are you the parent of an argumentative teen or a teen with an argumentative parent? Are you anticipating an argument with your boss when you ask for a raise? Are you expecting trouble from a supplier, contractor, landlord, or subordinate? Or do you just ignore conflict situations hoping that they’ll magically disappear or solve themselves? The art of argument. It’s mysterious and powerful. It’s the art of having things go your way. But also it’s the art of getting out of your own way. It’s having The Moves. But it’s also about having The Touch. Arguing. There’s the rough and tumble of the norm, the amateur’s game. Then there’s the pro’s game—always knowing what to say, how to say it, and when to say it. Winning arguments without quarreling, squabbling, tussling, wrangling, bickering, raising your voice, losing your cool, or coming to blows. Winning arguments without bulldozing and browbeating the other guy. Winning arguments by finessing rather than forcing, kickin’ butt or being in the other guy’s face. Winning arguments without offending or embarrassing anyone, including yourself. Winning arguments with confidence, grace and ease. The New York Times described Bob Mayer’s winning methodology as “...martial. It’s mental judo. Where you use the other guy’s energy to win. It’s mind-set. It’s charisma...a non-threatening approach that in many ways builds on the principles laid out long ago in Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends & Influence People.” So find yourself a comfortable chair. Pour yourself a cup of coffee. Sit back, relax. By the way, don’t go looking for charts, graphs, or boring stats. You won’t find any psychobabble here. Mayer drives home his eye-opening lessons in a light, humorous, page-turning read filled with personal and celebrity anecdotes and riveting tidbits. Talk show host Larry King calls Bob “a lawyer’s lawyer.” Robert Mayer conducts negotiation, mediation, and persuasion seminars and workshops for M.B.A. students, lawyers and law school students, professional associations and businesses

Abstract

The premise of this book is that individuals and societies have an inexorable urge to morally develop by challenging the assumptions of the previous generation in terms of what is right and wrong. The focus is on the nature and functional value of conflicts and challenges to the dominant moral and social values framework. Through this analysis, individuals develop moral character through conflict with their local authority figures, including parents. The moral structure of societies evolves through intergenerational challenges to and contradictions with the dominant social order. The b

Abstract

When two people form a relationship or marry, they begin to move towards one another with the expectation of closeness. The emotionality or intensity that accompanies this process, however, may result in fusion followed by a desperate need for space or distance. Intrusive Partners - Elusive Mates is the first book to deal exclusively with the pursuer-distancer interaction, and to focus significant attention on the emerging male pursuer-female distancer dynamic. This book revisits Fogarty's work, traces the concept over time and across different professional fields, and discusses in de

Abstract

Arguing with Anthropology is a fresh and wholly original guide to key elements in anthropology, which teaches the ability to think, write and argue critically. Using the famous 'question of the gift' as a master-issue for discussion, and drawing on a rich variety of methods, aims, knowledge and understanding. The books' unique hypothetical approach takes gift-theory - the science of obligation and reciprocity - as the theme of a virtual enquiry which explores how the discipline has evolved historically, how it is applied in practice and how it can be argued with critically. By asking readers t
