Description: Winner of the 2018 American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis (AB a Psa) p rize for best Edited book Temporality has always been a central preoccupation of modern philosophy and shame has been a major theme in contemporary psychoanalysis. To date however there has been little examination of the critical connection between these core experiences. Although they deeply implicate each other no single book has focused upon their profound interrelationship. Temporality and Shame highlights the many dimensions of that reality. A core point of this book is that shame can be a teacher and a crucial one in evaluating our ethical and ontological position in the world. Granting the fact that shame can be toxic and terrible we must remember that it is also what can orient us in the difficult task of reflection and consciousness. Shame enables us to become more fully present in the world and authentically engage in the flow of temporality and the richness of its syncopated dimensionality. Such a deeply honest ethos embracing the jarring awareness of shame and the always - shifting temporalities of memory can open us to a fuller presence in life. This is the basic vision of Temporality and Shame. The respective contributors discuss temporality and shame in relation to clinical and theoretical aspects of psychoanalysis philosophy anthropology and genocide as well as the question of evil myth and archetype history and critical studies the discipline of interiority and literary works. Temporality and Shame provides valuable insights and a rich and engaging variety of ideas. It will appeal to psychotherapists and psychoanalysts philosophers and those interested in the basic philosophical grounds of experience and anthropologists and people engaged in cultural studies and critical theory.
