Sociology and psychoanalysis in the liberal arts
This paper posits that an infusion of psychoanalytic concepts into the teaching of sociology in undergraduate liberal arts curricula offers a route to expanding students’ understanding of how self and society are entwined in a condition of mutual crisis in contemporary society. We argue that the liberatory project at the core of the liberal arts is served well by linking the critical perspectives found in these two disciplines. We provide as spec…
World Conflict
Wars of the past century or so have addressed economic and political conflicts and, increasingly, ethnic and religious conflicts. The scope of war seems to be decreasing from “macrowar” to “microwar,” with terrorism and drone attacks replacing massive civilian deaths and warriors' deaths in conventional war. Drone attacks are “proactive” in promoting policy objectives of governments, so far, while terrorism seems more commonly to be “reactive,” a…

World Conflict
Fights of one kind or another show up in archaeological and anthropological studies of early societies as well as later ones. Usually limited to ritualized encounters, these conflicts seem more like sport than anything else; two groups of men fight, the action ending when someone is hurt

Ambivalence and social change
In teaching a new and experimental course on empowerment last year, I stumbled upon an apparent paradox. Although students enrolled in the class knew that doing a project was part of the course design, when we got to the point of potential action, most of them hesitated and appeared to be genuinely conflicted about proceeding. I saw a number of reasons for what appeared to be profound vacillation. First, the semester was nearly over, and to do th…

Violence: Biological Need and Social Control
This paper discusses the possibility implicit in psychoanalytic theory that on an instinctual basis, destructive impulses may be irreducible in man's nature. Attempting to still and deny them, therefore, will only aggravate their ill effects. Once this is clearly recognized, they can be acknowledged instead and ways can be found to express them symbolically in socially useful institutions
