| reading through history answer key: Reading Foucault Through Lacan Jessica L. Davis, 2024-12-28 Jacques Lacan and Michel Foucault are often cast as intellectual adversaries, their legacies marked by differences in method, lineages, and analytical priorities. Yet beneath their distinct projects lies a shared ambition: to decenter the Western conception of the subject while critically engaging with the notion of subjectivity in post-Kantian thought. This book examines Foucault’s critical project through the lens of Lacan’s theory of the four discourses, introduced in Seminar XVII: The Other Side of Psychoanalysis (1969-70). Divided into two parts, Reading Foucault through Lacan unfolds as a dialogue between the discourses of the Hysteric and the Analyst. Part I, “The Hysteric,” reframes Foucault’s genealogical critique from the early to mid-1970s as a form of hysterical questioning directed at Kant’s transcendental legacy and its aftermath. Through an exploration of how violence and embodied resistance interact in a discursive framework, Part I uncovers the epistemological fractures that mark the modern subject. Part II, “The Analyst,” examines Foucault’s redefinition of Kantian critique as a historically situated engagement with the present. Building on Lacan’s claim that analytic experience begins with the hystericization of discourse, this section views Foucault’s re-alignment with Kant as retroactively constituting the transformation from Hysteric to Analyst. Addressing themes such as parrhesia, transference, and the ethics of speaking, Part II examines discourse as a social link that transcends fixed identities to inhabit new modes of being. Drawing on newly available English translations of Foucault’s lectures and Lacan’s seminars, this book bridges two key trajectories in French thought and offers valuable insights for scholars of psychoanalysis, critical theory, and social philosophy. |
| reading through history answer key: Reading the Old Testament as Christian Scripture (Reading Christian Scripture) Mark S. Gignilliat, Heath A. Thomas, 2025-03-11 This survey textbook by two respected Old Testament scholars is designed to meet the needs of contemporary undergraduate students. The book effectively covers the Old Testament books and major topics in the Old Testament, assuming no prior academic study of the Bible. Mark Gignilliat and Heath Thomas pay attention to the subject matter of the Old Testament: God's revelation of himself. Their focus is on the triune God and God's engagement with the world. The authors attend to the Old Testament's literary, theological, and historical dimensions and explore how these texts are received and interpreted in Christian (and Jewish) tradition. The book is organized according to the Hebrew structure of the Old Testament: Law, Prophets, and Writings. The authors utilize this structure to generate numerous interpretive and theological insights as well as fresh avenues of discovery for Christian readers who may lack familiarity with the Hebrew ordering of the Old Testament documents. Chapters can be assigned in any order, making this an ideal textbook for one-semester courses. Beautifully designed in full color, this addition to the Reading Christian Scripture series offers a full array of pedagogical aids that hold interest and aid learning: photographs, sidebars, maps, time lines, charts, glossary, and discussion questions. Additional resources for instructors and students are available through Textbook eSources. |

| reading through history answer key: Pleasure in Profit Laura Moretti, 2020-12-22 In the seventeenth century, Japanese popular prose flourished as waves of newly literate readers gained access to the printed word. Commercial publishers released vast numbers of titles in response to readers’ hunger for books that promised them potent knowledge. However, traditional literary histories of this period position the writings of Ihara Saikaku at center stage, largely neglecting the breadth of popular prose. In the first comprehensive study of the birth of Japanese commercial publishing, Laura Moretti investigates the vibrant world of vernacular popular literature. She marshals new data on the magnitude of the seventeenth-century publishing business and highlights the diversity and porosity of its publishing genres. Moretti explores how booksellers sparked interest among readers across the spectrum of literacies and demonstrates how they tantalized consumers with vital ethical, religious, societal, and interpersonal knowledge. She recasts books as tools for knowledge making, arguing that popular prose engaged its audience cognitively as well as aesthetically and emotionally to satisfy a burgeoning curiosity about the world. Crucially, Moretti shows, readers experienced entertainment within the didactic, finding pleasure in the profit gained from acquiring knowledge by interacting with transformative literature. Drawing on a rich variety of archival materials to present a vivid portrait of seventeenth-century Japanese publishing, Pleasure in Profit also speaks to broader conversations about the category of the literary by offering a new view of popular prose that celebrates plurality. |

| reading through history answer key: America's Rasputin David Milne, 2008-03-04 David Milne's America's Rasputin provides the first major study of the man who pushed two presidents into Vietnam. Walt Rostow's meteoric rise to power—from Flatbush, Brooklyn, to the West Wing of the White House—seemed to capture the promise of the American dream. Hailing from humble origins, Rostow became an intellectual powerhouse: a professor of economic history at MIT and an influential foreign policy adviser to John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Too influential, according to some. While Rostow inspired respect and affection, he also made some powerful enemies. Averell Harriman, one of America's most celebrated diplomats, described Rostow as America's Rasputin for the unsavory influence he exerted on presidential decision-making. Rostow was the first to advise Kennedy to send U.S. combat troops to South Vietnam and the first to recommend the bombing of North Vietnam. He framed a policy of military escalation, championed recklessly optimistic reporting, and then advised LBJ against pursuing a compromise peace with North Vietnam. David Milne examines one man's impact on the United States' worst-ever military defeat. It is a portrait of good intentions and fatal misjudgments. A true ideologue, Rostow believed that it is beholden upon the United States to democratize other nations and do good, no matter what the cost. America's Rasputin explores the consequences of this idealistic but unyielding dogma. |

Reading Closely for Textual Details Making Evidence-Based Claims Making Evidence-Based Claims about Literary Technique (Grades 9-12) Researching to Deepen Understanding Building Evidence-Based Arguments The program approaches literacy through the development of knowledge, literacy skills, and academic habits. Throughout the activities, students develop their literacy along these three paths in an integrated, engaging, and empowering way. Knowledge: The texts and topics students encounter in the program have been carefully selected to expose them to rich and varied ideas and perspectives of cultural significance. These texts not only equip students with key ideas for participating knowledgeably in the important discussions of our time, but also contain the complexity of expression necessary for developing college- and career-ready literacy skills. Literacy Skills: The program articulates and targets instruction and assessment on twenty CCSS-aligned literacy skills ranging from “making inferences” to “reflecting critically.” Students focus on this set of twenty skills throughout the year and program, continually applying them in new and more sophisticated ways. Academic Habits: The program articulates twelve academic habits for students to develop, apply, and extend as they progress through the sequence of instruction. Instructional notes allow teachers to introduce and discuss academic habits such as “preparing” and “completing tasks” that are essential to students’ success in the classroom. The program materials include a comprehensive set of instructional sequences, teacher notes, handouts, assessments, rubrics, and graphic organizers designed to support students with a diversity of educational experiences and needs. The integrated assessment system, centered around the literacy skills and academic habits, allows for the coherent evaluation of student literacy development over the course of the year and vertically across all grade levels. |
