In The Private Self, Arnold Modell contributes an interdisciplinary perspective in formulating a theory of the private self. A leading thinker in American psychoanalysis, Modell here studies selfhood by examining variations on the theme of the self in Freud and in the work of object relations theorists, self psychologists, and neuroscientists. Modell contends that the self is fundamentally paradoxical, in that it is at once dependent upon social affirmation and autonomous in generating itself from within. We create ourselves, he suggests, by selecting values that are endowed with private meanings.By thinking of the unconscious as a neurophysiological process, and the self as the subject and object of its own experience, Modell is able to explain how identity can persist in the flux of consciousness. He thus offers an exciting and original perspective for our understanding of the mind and the brain.

★美國總統國家與社會貢獻獎金獎得主★ 韓秀　傾情鉅獻 從一畫成名驚天下，到窮愁潦倒無人問 他是時代的孤勇者，更是西方藝術史的先行者 林布蘭（Rembrandt, 1606-1669）生於荷蘭萊登，以色彩鮮明的版畫與精湛的銅版蝕刻技術聞名於世，為巴洛克時期最具代表性的藝術家之一。早期善於以「明暗對照法」繪製栩栩如生的肖像，例如《杜爾普教授的解剖課》，他也因此畫一舉成為當時阿姆斯特丹最富有的人之一。 但好景不長，因為受妻兒接連過世的打擊，1640年之後，林布蘭的畫筆不再濃墨重彩，他的畫布變得灰暗，人物形象追求自然、更加忠於原貌──但這樣的轉變卻也讓他從此跌落畫壇。 荷蘭的風帆正在黃金時代的浪潮中駛向全世界，林布蘭的人生卻陷入了暗無星月的夜晚。因為不符合審美潮流，幾乎沒有人再肯委託他作畫，財務狀況每下愈況；到了人生的終章，林布蘭甚至必須割愛珍貴的異國收藏、不斷遷居，過世時幾乎可說是身無分文、窮愁潦倒…… ═════ 林布蘭畫布下的故事 ═════ ♦《夜巡》（The Night Watch） ──世界三大油畫之一，為何當年會被裁剪、焚毀、謾罵百年？ ♦《猶太新娘》（The Jewish Bride） ──讓梵谷為之瘋狂的詩意之作，訴說林布蘭一生最重要的女人 ♦《杜爾普教授的解剖課》（The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp） ──杜爾普教授是誰？一窺十七世紀荷蘭的醫學片段 ♦《克勞迪‧基維里斯密謀起義》（The Conspiracy of the Batavians under Claudius Civilis） ──只餘下草圖的偉大畫作，究竟是得罪了何人？ ♦《雅各與天使角鬥》（Jacob Wrestling with the Ange） ──無比經典的聖經故事，也是林布蘭一生心志的寫照…… 「我的身心為之一震，彷彿有一塊巧奪天工的色彩撲面而來。」 「當沉溺於心中的夢想時，他失去了一切，但同時，他也得到了一切。」 「終其一生他都生活在一個虛幻的世界中，這個世界有著無限的美麗和完滿，以至於世人只能聳聳肩，帶著惡意與嫉妒的嗤笑，不予理睬

As a Cultural construct, gender is fictional and imagined, yet its ideological and representational effects on the formation of self and identity are quite real. The fiction behind the fictional, which many accepts as truth, is at the core of what is most intriguing about the problem of gender. Critiquing this narrative, Gender, Discourse, and the Self in Literature unravels the strategies that writers and filmmakers adopt in their (de)construction of the gendered self in three Chinese communities: mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Writing from the vantage points of film, literature, and gender studies, contributors make an innovative marriage to Western gender discourse and the construction and representation of self and identity in contemporary China.

Cultures around the world have regarded self-fulfillment as the ultimate goal of human striving and as the fundamental test of the goodness of a human life. The ideal has also been criticized, however

Eros of International Relations: Self-Feminizing and the Claiming of Postcolonial Chineseness is a distinctive work that explores the much-neglected Chinese perspective in broader international relations theory. Using the concept of “self-feminizing”―adoption of a feminine identity to oblige and achieve mutual caring as a relational strategy―this book argues that postcolonial actors have employed gendered identities in order to survive the squeezing pressure of globalization and nationalism in their own ways. Sovereign actors who have historically claimed to act on behalf of Chineseness have taken advantage of the images of femininity thrust upon them by transnational capitalism, the media, or intellectual thought.Shih illustrates the feminist potential for emancipation through a range of empirical examples, showing that women of various Chinese characteristics, acting on behalf of their nation, city, and corporations, reject the masculinization of their groups of belonging as remedy f
