Organizing prints and slides dating from the early 1970s when the couple first met, provided an opportunity to reflect on their shared past and to grieve or mourn the losses they expected. The project led to the collection of the photographs in this book, weaving a story of aging and change, love and hope. Technically and stylistically, this book incorporates most of the forms of photography available over the last five decades: 35mm single-lens reflex cameras, Brownie Hawkeyes, Polaroids and single-use throw-away cameras, professional cameras like the Pentax 6×7, Sinar 4×5, Deardorff 8×10, full frame digital Canons, and, more recently, iPhones. The story told by these phot...

A rapprochement, made possible by the emergence of new discourses initiated by Juliet Mitchell, Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, and D.W. Winnicott, characterizes current relations between feminism and psychoanalysis

It situates Kristeva in relation to Freud, the object relations theorists, and the post-structuralist psychoanalysts, and suggest that in her work of the 1980\u27s Kristeva revises Freud\u27s four major cultural texts. She constructs a psychoanalytic interpretation of religion that maintains Freud\u27s most important insights at the same time that it directs new attention to two themes Freud was unable to fully articulate: an inconscious association of anti-Semitism with the body of the mother, and the religious inversion of hatred and fear into love

I’ll focus on four psychological methodologies often utilized in the study of religion: Freudian theory, Jungian theory, object relations theory/self psychology, and poststructuralist psychoanalytic theory

We have reinvigorated our chemistry and geology programs through two mechanisms: (1) Upgrading laboratory infrastructure through state-supported research initiatives such as WV-EPSCoR and WV-INBRE, and (2) integrating new researchgrade equipment into undergraduate research and courses. The latter extends open-ended research experiences to students not directly involved in intensive, one-on-one research. Reinvigoration of our programs has culminated with a recent award from West Virginia' s new Research Trust Fund, which provides funding for several facultystudent research projects per summer.

GC35 represents a call to the Jesuit community and those who share their goals to participate in "Ignatian work" that "engages the world through a careful analysis of context, in dialogue with experience, evaluated through reflection, for the sake of action, and with openness, always, to evaluation." 1 The new Core Curriculum can be seen, in a sense, as an "Ignatian work": the Core aims to support students in a project similar to that outlined by GC35-engaging the world, through analysis in dialogue with experience, using reflection, action, and evaluation. GC35, of course, is not directly comparable to the Santa Clara Core Curriculum. GC35 is a statement approved by Jesuit leaders after much negotiation, sketching out a vision for Jesuit mission and identity in relation to the sufferings of the world. Santa Clara's Core Curriculum, although it too was approved after much negotiation and many votes, is not a statement or text, 2 but rather a work in progress taking shape in the teaching of our faculty and the education of our students. There are, nevertheless, many points of connection. In this essay I'll outline key components of the Core Curriculum that resonate with what I'll call the "core vision" of GC35. STarTING PoINTS: GoaLS, VaLUES, IdENTITIES Both the Santa Clara Core Curriculum and GC35 begin by looking toward the future and asking fundamental questions about goals, values and identities. The faculty team who developed the Core Curriculum asked "Who are our students? What kind of people will our graduates become? how will they live in community with others? how will they engage Walking Different Pathways Coming to Know Our Own Journey Better-The "Core Vision" of GC35 by diane Jonte-PaCe

Throughout the ensuing four decades he taught at the Divinity School, and in the Committees on the History of Culture and Human Development and in the College. We have included the welcoming remarks made at his memorial service by Dean Richard A. Rosengarten as well as remarks by his former student, Diane Jonte-Pace, and daughter Jennifer Homans. Closing this issue we offer a small 'books in brief ' section. We asked some of our faculty to provide us with the titles of recent books they have found particularly interesting and enjoyable and we present here some reading possibilities for the winter as recommended by these faculty members. As always, my thanks to Susan Zakin, editorial assistant, and Robin Winge, designer.

Abstract The recent scholarship on Freud is guilty of the same kind of ideological projection as that uncovered by Albert Schweitzer in his 1906 exposé of the assumptions underlying the "historical Jesus" scholarship: the search for the religious Freud evinces a search for an atheist, Christian, or Jew who mirrors the personal and intellectual assumptions of the seeker. Ironically, of the three issues emerging as central concerns in recent literature on Freud-Jewishness, ethics, and gender-Jewishness and ethics were also the focus of heated debate among nineteenth-century Biblical scholars.
