| golem syndrome: Jacqueline Kahanoff David Ohana, 2023-11-07 Jacqueline Kahanoff: A Levantine Woman is the first intellectual biography of this remarkable Egyptian-Jewish intellectual, whose work has secured her place in literary pantheon as a herald of Levantine, Mediterranean, and transnational culture. Growing up Jewish in cosmopolitan Egypt in the 1920s and 1930s, Jacqueline Kahanoff experienced a bustling Middle East enriched by diverse languages, religions, and peoples who nonetheless were deeply connected to each other through history, business, daily practices, and shared landscape. At the age of twenty-four, Kahanoff immigrated to the United States. Her stories, essays, and short autobiographical novel attest to her penchant to cross boundaries, generations, social classes, sexes, and Western and Eastern constructs. After immigrating to Israel in the early 1950s, she critically addressed the country's provinciality and ethnic nationalism as seen through her conception of a transnational Levantine culture. Through many writings, Kahanoff set forth her distinctive vision of Israel as a Mediterranean country with a broad, multicultural Levantine identity. Drawing on an extensive array of sources, ranging from interviews with Jacqueline Kahanoff's acquaintances and contemporaries to unpublished writings, David Ohana explores her fascinating life and intellectual journey from Cairo to Tel Aviv. The encompassing vision of a Levantine Israel made Kahanoff the initiator of a different cultural possibility, more extensive than that offered in her time, and also, perhaps, than is offered today. |

| golem syndrome: Communication Issues in Autism and Asperger Syndrome, Second Edition Olga Bogdashina, 2022-07-21 In this updated edition, Olga Bogdashina provides a theoretical foundation for understanding communication and language impairments specific to autism. She explores the effects of different perceptual and cognitive styles on the communication and language development of autistic children. She also stresses the importance of identifying each individual's nonverbal language - which can be visual, tactile, kinaesthetic, auditory, olfactory or gustatory - to establish verbal communication. Reflecting recent research and changes in terminology, the book explains why some approaches may work for some autistic children but not for others, and the 'What They Say' sections allow the reader to see through the eyes of autistic individuals and understand their language differences first-hand. 'What We Can Do to Help' sections throughout the book give practical recommendations for helping autistic individuals use their natural mechanisms to learn and develop social and communicative skills. The final chapters are devoted to assessment and intervention issues with recommendations for selecting appropriate methods and techniques to enhance communication, based on the specific mode of communication a person uses. |
| golem syndrome: Anorexia Nervosa and Other Dyscontrol Syndromes E.L. Edelstein, 2012-12-06 What is that which gleams through me and smites my heart without wounding it? I am both a-shudder and a-glow. St. Augustine It is wonder and awe that I feel in view of the individual's power to create self-therapeutic devices. This book is the saga of these young in dividuals, who change and recreate the shape and dimensions of their bodies in a quest to achieve and finally demonstrate autonomy. Ironically, it seems that they can go on living thanks to their exces sive behavior, their hunger, and their deviances. They exhibit an ex treme polarity, an either-or: the thrill of excesses, the joy of giving in to pleasure, versus masochistic enjoyment and pride curbing, procras tinating and mastering these impulses almost to the absolute by simple force of effort and sublimatory strength. Somewhat alien to the medi cal profession, these maladies are self-induced, and only make sense if their symbolism is recognized and understood using a hermeneutic ap proach. It aptly reflects their interaction with other objects, both human and nonhuman. The anorectic girl, to whom the book is specifically devoted, rejects any human bond in a masochistic way and also denies that her own body is a worthwhile object that deserves to be cared for. On the other hand, her body and its expressions are virtually under the most potent overcontrol. Thus, the narrative of the anorectics is strongly related to their incessant suffering, which is again of their own creation. |
| golem syndrome: History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe Marcel Cornis-Pope, John Neubauer, 2010-09-29 Types and stereotypes is the fourth and last volume of a path-breaking multinational literary history that incorporates innovative features relevant to the writing of literary history in general. Instead of offering a traditional chronological narrative of the period 1800-1989, the History of the Literary Cultures of East-Central Europe approaches the region’s literatures from five complementary angles, focusing on literature’s participation in and reaction to key political events, literary periods and genres, the literatures of cities and sub-regions, literary institutions, and figures of representation. The main objective of the project is to challenge the self-enclosure of national literatures in traditional literary histories, to contextualize them in a regional perspective, and to recover individual works, writers, and minority literatures that national histories have marginalized or ignored. Types and stereotypes brings together articles that rethink the figures of National Poets, figurations of the Family, Women, Outlaws, and Others, as well as figures of Trauma and Mediation. As in the previous three volumes, the historical and imaginary figures discussed here constantly change and readjust to new political and social conditions. An Epilogue complements the basic history, focusing on the contradictory transformations of East-Central European literary cultures after 1989. This volume will be of interest to the region’s literary historians, to students and teachers of comparative literature, to cultural historians, and to the general public interested in exploring the literatures of a rich and resourceful cultural region. |
| golem syndrome: What's Our Problem? Tim Urban, 2023-02-21 From the creator of the wildly popular blog Wait But Why, a fun and fascinating deep dive into what the hell is going on in our strange, unprecedented modern times. Between 2013 and 2016, Tim Urban became one of the world’s most popular bloggers, writing dozens of viral, long-form articles about everything from AI to colonizing Mars to procrastination. Then, he turned his attention to a new topic: the society around him. Why was everything such a mess? Why was everyone acting like such a baby? When did things get so tribal? Why do humans do this stuff? This massive topic sent Tim tumbling down his deepest rabbit hole yet, through mountains of history, evolutionary psychology, political theory, neuroscience, and modern-day political movements, as he tried to figure out the answer to a simple question: What’s our problem? Six years later, he emerged from the hole holding this book. What’s Our Problem? is a deep and expansive analysis of our modern times, in the classic style of Wait But Why, packed with original concepts, sticky metaphors, and 300 drawings. The book provides an entirely new framework and language for thinking and talking about today’s complex world. Instead of focusing on the usual left-center-right horizontal political axis, which is all about what we think, the book introduces a vertical axis that explores how we think, as individuals and as groups. Readers will find themselves on a delightful and fascinating journey that will ultimately change the way they see the world around them. Anyway he wanted to say a lot more about all of this but there was a word limit on this book description so just go read the book. |
| golem syndrome: Dr. Golem Harry Collins, Trevor Pinch, 2008-09-15 A creature of Jewish mythology, a golem is an animated being made by man from clay and water who knows neither his own strength nor the extent of his ignorance. Like science and technology, the subjects of Harry Collins and Trevor Pinch's previous volumes, medicine is also a golem, and this Dr. Golem should not be blamed for its mistakes—they are, after all, our mistakes. The problem lies in its well-meaning clumsiness. Dr. Golem explores some of the mysteries and complexities of medicine while untangling the inherent conundrums of scientific research and highlighting its vagaries. Driven by the question of what to do in the face of the fallibility of medicine, Dr. Golem encourages a more inquisitive attitude toward the explanations and accounts offered by medical science. In eight chapters devoted to case studies of modern medicine, Collins and Pinch consider the prevalence of tonsillectomies, the placebo effect and randomized control trials, bogus doctors, CPR, the efficacy of Vitamin C in fighting cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, AIDS cures, and vaccination. They also examine the tension between the conflicting faces of medicine: medicine as science versus medicine as a source of succor; the interests of an individual versus the interests of a group; and the benefits in the short term versus success rates in the long term. Throughout, Collins and Pinch remind readers that medical science is an economic as well as a social consideration, encapsulated for the authors in the timeless struggle to balance the good health of the many—with vaccinations, for instance—with the good health of a few—those who have adverse reactions to the vaccine. In an age when the deaths of research subjects, the early termination of clinical trials, and the research guidelines for stem cells are front-page news, Dr. Golem is a timely analysis of the limitations of medicine that never loses sight of its strengths. |

A young escape artist and budding magician named Joe Kavalier arrives on the doorstep of his cousin, Sammy Clay. While the long shadow of Hitler falls across Europe, America is happily in thrall to the Golden Age of comic books, and in a distant corner of Brooklyn, Sammy is looking for a way to cash in on the craze. He finds the ideal partner in the aloof, artistically gifted Joe, and together they embark on an adventure that takes them deep into the heart of Manhattan, and the heart of old-fashioned American ambition. From the shared fears, dreams, and desires of two teenage boys, they spin comic book tales of the heroic, fascist-fighting Escapist and the beautiful, mysterious Luna Moth, otherworldly mistress of the night. Climbing from the streets of Brooklyn to the top of the Empire State Building, Joe and Sammy carve out lives, and careers, as vivid as cyan and magenta ink. Spanning continents and eras, this superb book by one of America’s finest writers remains one of the defining novels of our modern American age.

| golem syndrome: Dario Argento James Gracey, 2010-05-01 The stylistic and bloody excesses of the films of Dario Argento are instantly recognizable—his films lock violent deaths in a twisted embrace with an almost sexual beauty. Narrative and logic are often lost in a constant bombardment of atmosphere, technical mastery, and provocative imagery. Setting the tone with earlier gialli films such as The Animal Trilogy and Deep Red, Argento has steadily pushed the boundaries; through his elaborately gothic fairytales Suspiria and Inferno, right up to his more recent contributions to Showtime's Masters of Horror series and the conclusion of his Three Mothers trilogy, Mother of Tears: The Third Mother. Along the way, his prowling camera work, pounding scores, and stylistic bloodshed have only gained in intensity and opulence. Argento continues to create inimitable and feverishly violent films with a level of artistry rarely seen in horror films. His high profile and mastery of the genre is confirmed with his role as producer on celebrated classics such as George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead and Lamberto Bava's Demons. |

It’s all thanks to the efforts of her fiancé, Ginorious, that she now has the confidence to move forward and try to better herself. But while they’re on the path to happiness together, they haven’t achieved it quite yet. There are still mysteries to be resolved, especially in regard to when Ginorious is. If his suspicions are right, then perhaps the cure to Ana’s condition—and consequently, the key to her happiness—isn’t too far off. But the lengths he’ll go to bring her joy are sometimes extreme. Just how far will he go to ensure her happily ever after, and at what cost to himself? |
| golem syndrome: Androids and Intelligent Networks in Early Modern Literature and Culture Kevin LaGrandeur, 2013 This book explores the creation and use of artificially made humanoid servants and servant networks by fictional and non-fictional scientists of the early modern period. Beginning with an investigation of the roots of artificial servants, humanoids, and automata from earlier times, LaGrandeur traces how these literary representations coincide with a surging interest in automata and experimentation, and how they blend with the magical science that proceeded the empirical era. These representations eerily prefigure modern robots, androids, and artificially intelligent networks, and the art that is responsible for their creation blurs the edges between magic and science in a way that resonates especially with modern notions of cybernetics. In the instances that this book considers, the idea of the artificial factotum is connected with an emotional paradox: the joy of self-enhancement is counterpoised with the anxiety of self-displacement that comes with distribution of agency. In this way, the older accounts of creating artificial slaves are accounts of modernity in the making--a modernity characterized by the project of extending the self and its powers, in which the vision of the extended self is fundamentally inseparable from the vision of an attenuated self. This book discusses the idea that fictional, artificial servants embody at once the ambitions of the scientific wizards who make them and society's perception of the dangers of those ambitions, and represent the cultural fears triggered by independent, experimental thinkers--the type of thinkers from whom our modern cyberneticists descend. |

The opportunity presents itself one day when he receives an offer to marry the daughter of the premier duke. It’s a shocking proposal for the son of a simple viscount, until he learns that all their attempts to arrange courtships with higher nobles have already failed, and for one simple reason: the daughter’s appearance, which has earned her the epithet of the Goblin Maiden.

| golem syndrome: Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Expectancies Sławomir Trusz, Przemysław Bąbel, 2016-05-20 Do our expectancies about ourselves and about others have any effect on our actual experiences? Over fifty years of research studies suggest not only that this is the case, but also that our expectancies can shape other people’s experience in different contexts. In some cases they can help, but other times they can do harm instead. Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Expectancies provides a theory, a research review, and a summary of the current knowledge on intra- and interpersonal expectancy effects and related phenomena. Based on extensive study, and written by eminent experts from some of the world’s leading academic institutions, the book presents the most recent knowledge on social and psychological mechanisms of forming both intra- and interpersonal expectancies. It also considers how expectancies are sustained and what their consequences are, as well as discussing the latest theoretical concepts and the most up-to-date research on expectancy effects. This book represents the first review of the phenomenon of interpersonal expectancies in over 20 years, and the only publication presenting a complementary view of both intra- and interpersonal expectancies. It aims to open up a discussion between researchers and theoreticians from both perspectives, and to promote an integrative approach that incorporates both. |

| golem syndrome: Armageddon, Close Encounters in the Fifth Kind Frederick Guttmann, ¿Cómo cambiaría nuestra forma de ver el mundo si nos planteásemos que todos los estamentos de la sociedad serán pronto abolidos? ¿Veríamos la vida de la misma forma si diéramos lugar a la idea de que nuestra historia ha estado ligada a influencias que no son de este mundo? “Armagedón, Encuentros Cercanos en la Quinta Fase” es una obra que no pasará desapercibida, mucho menos delante de los acontecimientos que están ocurriendo, aunque el mundo no esté al tanto de ellos -porque está siendo distraído. Hablamos de un cambio a escala planetaria en la conciencia humana y del sistema de vida que tenemos, el destape de grandes y sumamente relevantes mentiras que han mantenido engañado al hombre del siglo XXI, y así mismo el inicio de una existencia libre, sólo posible tras una guerra sin precedentes. Nuestro mundo está a punto de tener los cambios más significativos de toda la historia humana, desde que se tiene constancia de ella. La vida extraterrestre es una realidad, tal como lo es el hecho de que sabremos toda la verdad sobre la vida fuera de la Tierra y los misterios del universo en esta década. El Nuevo Orden Mundial, del cual pocos han oído hablar -aún a estas alturas y con el terreno ya ganado por esos psicópatas en todos los medios globales- no conseguirá sus fines de eliminación poblacional y control totalitario, aunque conseguirán por un periodo muy breve de tiempo muchas de sus agendas. Toda la humanidad está al borde de un cambio de paradigma, no sin antes presenciar la experiencia de la vida extraterrestre inteligente, un mundo dominado por las corporaciones, dueños de la banca y de los oleoductos. Entonces el cambio será radical y no dejará lugar a dudas a más cuestionamientos, suposiciones o teorías sobre el origen del hombre y de la vida fuera de nuestro orbe azul; de igual modo que no habrá más medias tintas sobre el conocimiento y realidad de la existencia de Jesucristo, no como una religión sino como una realidad. Esta será una verdad inamovible que no está sujeta –ni nunca lo ha estado- a religiones, ni a dogmas, ni a espiritualismo, ni a teorías conspiratorias, ni a ciencia ficción, ni a fábulas, ni a cualquier otra creencia abstracta, sino al modernismo de esta centuria y a la revolución mundial que hoy nos atañe. Parece difícil reconciliar la imagen de aquel carpintero que fue clavado en una cruz junto con la ciencia, pero recordemos que los estamentos religiosos que conocemos son relativamente recientes y no fueron impuestos por Jesucristo. Sus enseñanzas aparecieron sobre el 26 y/o el 33 d.C. aprox., en cambio las posteriores fueron ciertamente tardías: Catolicismo (325 d.C.), Islam (600 d.C.), Protestantismo (inicios del siglo XIV) Mormonismo (mediados de 1800 d.C.), Testigos de Jehová (1870), etc. En otras palabras, las enseñanzas de Jesús no estuvieron sujetas a religiones “cristianas”, ya que estas se crearon en nombre de él siglos después, mayormente con fines lucrativos o de control de masas. Tengamos presente, antes que nada, que todas las profecías, que han venido de parte de Dios, hasta su momento se han cumplido y nada sugiere que las que aún han de cumplirse dejen de tener lugar; mucho menos cuando estamos viviendo las concisas advertencias que hicieron hombres modelo en tiempos antiguos, y además con lujo de detalles. Así que tenemos que citar a hombres de otrora para ver cómo se han dado los hechos que anunciaron y qué otros acontecimientos han de tener lugar en nuestra década y en los años que precederán nuestra era. Ciertamente cada vez podemos ver más cerca un final de esta edad y el inicio de una nueva historia para la civilización humana. Un cambio que se palpa y comenta en todos los círculos sociales y culturales. Este cambio viene acompañado de mucha incertidumbre, dudas sobre cómo será ese desenlace final y qué ocurrirá después de ello. La historia de nuestra raza se ha visto constantemente salpicada por grandes extinciones, donde nuestros antecesores han sido diezmados, eliminados tácitamente por sucesos catastróficos que han dado origen a nuevos eones. Así se ha visto en lejanas edades desde la prehistoria y así se ve hoy, muy próximos a experimentar eventos nunca antes vistos en ninguna etapa anterior de nuestro devenir como civilización. Como hijos de la Tierra hemos de conocer los hechos que han modelado nuestro presente y que han colocado a nuestra raza en el borde del colapso y de la aparente auto-extinción. Tenemos que ser conscientes de que tal como la arqueología nos sirve para revelar los acontecimientos de antaño, también han existido desde otrora métodos para vaticinar el tiempo por venir, y éstos han marcado hechos memorables en el registro histórico. Nosotros los llamamos “profecías”, y si bien, desde tiempos de la Grecia clásica los helenos consultaban el polémico oráculo de Delfos, el que se cree era el más preciso de todos, aunque se especuló que alguna vez se equivocó (más bien diríamos que dijo lo que sus consultores debían saber). |

| golem syndrome: New Ritual Society Gianpiero Vincenzo, 2018-07-27 Consumerism has established itself as a dominant lifestyle, but the reasons behind this are often unclear. This study revisits a large amount of diverse research, and argues that consumerism is a powerful ritual “machine” that can make up for the modern lack of values with new symbols and rituals. Consumerism made its claim between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, when the traditional symbolic world had ended and a new one had not yet emerged. Slowly but progressively, consumerism begun to develop new symbolic forms and new social rituals, becoming the basis for new mimetic behaviours. As nationalism has progressively declined, consumerism has permeated the entire social fabric. Supermarkets and shopping malls must be interpreted in the light of their ritual significance, as temples and holy cities of a new symbolic order. In the consumeristic era, many people are led to think and imagine in consumer terms, to identify themselves through consumption rituals. The impact of consumerism on culture, from literature to art, should not be underestimated. Many artists have tried to develop their aesthetics by triggering a dialectical, or openly critical, confrontation with consumerism. This book also takes into account the development of violence and the effects of consumerism on childhood and new generations. The book contains a preface by the German anthropologist Christoph Wulf, and the images illustrating the text are by Belgian artist Michel Couturier. |
| golem syndrome: Emotions and Affect in Human Factors and Human-Computer Interaction Myounghoon Jeon, 2017-04-05 Emotions and Affect in Human Factors and Human–Computer Interaction is a complete guide for conducting affect-related research and design projects in H/F and HCI domains. Introducing necessary concepts, methods, approaches, and applications, the book highlights how critical emotions and affect are to everyday life and interaction with cognitive artifacts. The text covers the basis of neural mechanisms of affective phenomena, as well as representative approaches to Affective Computing, Kansei Engineering, Hedonomics, and Emotional Design. The methodologies section includes affect induction techniques, measurement techniques, detection and recognition techniques, and regulation models and strategies. The application chapters discuss various H/F and HCI domains: product design, human–robot interaction, behavioral health and game design, and transportation. Engineers and designers can learn and apply psychological theories and mechanisms to account for their affect-related research and can develop their own domain-specific theory. The approach outlined in this handbook works to close the existing gap between the traditional affect research and the emerging field of affective design and affective computing. - Provides a theoretical background of affective sciences - Demonstrates diverse affect induction methods in actual research settings - Describes sensing technologies, such as brain–computer interfaces, facial expression detection, and more - Covers emotion modeling and its application to regulation processes - Includes case studies and applied examples in a variety of H/F and HCI application areas - Addresses emerging interdisciplinary areas including Positive Technology, Subliminal Perception, Physiological Computing, and Aesthetic Computing |
| golem syndrome: Escape Route Nick, Lyby Skovgaard, 2024-05-01 'Escape Route' outlines how we can address the crises we are currently facing without being dependent on the world's power holders.
