"All these places have their moments": Exploring the Micro-Geography of Music Scenes: The Indica Gallery and the Chelsea Hotel

In this article, we focus on the micro-geography of the relationship between music and place by homing in at two iconic cultural hotspots where innovative artists, notably (pop) musicians, came together in the 1960s. Because of their many famous visitors and residents, both spaces are well documented in (auto)biographies, monographs on art scenes, as well as in newspapers. We contend that the Chelsea Hotel and the Indica Gallery spaces were able to become cultural hotspots because of their location and due to the fact that these were tolerant spaces managed by people close to the artists.

New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 2015. 323 pp. $26.99 (cloth).In Lukes Gospel, in the days when Jesus has set his face toward Jerusalem and has begun to tell his that he must undergo great suffering and be rejected by the religious leaders and be killed and then on the third day be raised, his closest circle of followers ask him to teach them how to He had just gone off by himself to a certain place to pray, alone with God, as was his spiritual practice. His followers notice, and when Jesus finishes praying, they confess to him their need to pray as he did: Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples (Luke 11:1).I like to think that, in that moment, Jesus learned something about his vocation. From the earliest days of his public ministry, Jesus had understood the purpose of his life and ministry to be about healing and proclaiming good news. After his discernment in the wilderness, he had returned to his hometown of Nazareth and stood up in the synagogue, full of the Holy Spirit, to reveal his mission. He would teach about the reign of God, what it was like and what it could be like on earth. He would proclaim that it was coming and already very near, especially for those most in need of it, the poor, the imprisoned, the blind, the oppressed. He would help to bring about the reign of God by his preaching and by his healing of lepers and paralytics, blind and deaf people, and those possessed by demons. He would also help to usher in the reign by suffering and dying. But it may not have been until this moment of expressed need, desire, and perhaps some gentle critique by his of his leadership compared with that of his cousin John the Baptist that Jesus realized his mission also was to be a teacher of prayer.He himself was a man of prayer, in close relationship with God his Father. It is no coincidence that, in Luke's Gospel, Jesus is praying in the moment of his baptism, when the heavens open and the Holy Spirit descends upon him. His prayer and his power in the Spirit for mission are interwoven. His prayer emboldens and strengthens him for proclaiming and healing. But when he commissions his also to go forth into the villages to bring the good news and cure disease of every kind, Jesus may not have realized that they needed instruction in prayer for this ministry. They needed to know how to pray as he did. They needed a relationship with God as intimate as his. When his begin to learn that the mission of Jesus also will involve suffering and death, they become more aware of their need for prayer and beg Jesus to instruct them in nurturing intimacy with God. Lord, teach us to pray. And so Jesus does, starting with the suggestion that they address God with a name of tender endearment, one used by beloved children. Abba.Because Jesus instructed others in the art of prayer, teaching people how to pray is arguably one of the mission responsibilities of the Christian community. Not everyone within the community can be a teacher of prayer, for the Holy Spirit gives gifts for all kinds of different ministries. But some are so called.Interestingly, from the veiy earliest days of Christianity to now, women as well as men have significantly participated in this mission of Jesus, from the desert mothers and fathers, to Christian mystics of the medieval age, to spiritual directors and teachers of prayer in more recent times. …

The Big Shift: The Seismic Change in Canadian Politics, Business, and Culture and What It Means for Our Future, by Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson

Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson The Shift: The Seismic Change in Canadian Politics, Business, and Culture and What It Means for Our Future Toronto: HarperCollins Publishers Ltd., 2013. 294 pp $27.99 (hardback) ISBN: 978-1443416450If there is one thing Canadian commentators agree on, it is that the events of 9/11 and the financial crisis, aided and abetted by the Conservative governments led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, have changed the country's social and cultural makeup. This is, however, where the consensus ends: opinions on the extent, durability, and desirability of these changes vary widely. Some commentators bemoan the new Canada, charging the Conservatives with forsaking the nation's spirit; others happily note the return of a Conservative Canada, reclaiming its values at home and prepared to robustly defend its interests abroad.Ipsos Reid pollster Darrell Bricker and The Globe and Mai! columnist John Ibbitson do not judge whether what they call the Big - a set of societal, cultural, and economic changes which underpin the election of a majority Conservative government - is a good or a bad thing. But they do argue that the shift is real, is here to stay, and is ignored at one's own political and economic peril. According to Bricker and Ibbitson, the shift has two major sources. One is the demographic, economic, and political rise of Canada's West; the other is immigration, which has changed the makeup of middle-class Ontario suburbs. Current immigration patterns mean that most newcomers have more links to the West than the east: they often hail from Asian countries and, even if they settle in the East, they often have family in western Canadian provinces. Western-oriented and with an ethos of self-reliance and economic discipline, new immigrants moved their vote away from its traditional home in the Liberal Party and joined the West in voting Conservative. The federal election of 2011, which delivered a majority Conservative government with a power base in the West, support in suburban Ontario, and little presence in Quebec or Atlantic Canada, testifies to the strength of this new coalition.The new coalition has displaced what Bricker and Ibbitson refer to as the Consensus of big-city Ontario and Quebec, which had underpinned the electoral dominance of the Liberal Party and shaped Canada's institutions in the twentieth century. The priorities of the new electoral coalition are not those that preoccupied the Laurentian elites. Confident and multicultural, this new Canada is not concerned with protecting national identity, fussing over the English/French divide, and implementing progressive policies at the federal level. Rather, it expects its government to keep its books in order and step aside. In foreign policy, instead of looking to the Atlantic for international associations and trade opportunities, the new Canada turns to the Pacific first.While occasionally guilty of overstatement and overly florid in style, in its broad strokes the Bricker/Ibbitson analysis is convincing. The Conservatives' ability to build a winning coalition with no recourse to Quebec is a novelty in Canadian politics and strongly suggests that something of significance is afoot. The book, however, does a less thorough job at the level of detail. A distinction between the societal base of the Shift and its partisan, Conservative manifestations is signposted but not systematically elaborated on. As a consequence, the book can only suggest that some Conservative values will wax and others wane; it does not offer a disciplined argument as to what might stay and what might go. …

Bumble-Ardy by M. Sendak

Sendak, Maurice. Bumble-Ardy. New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 2011. Print. Maurice Sendak’s devotion to chaos, revelry, and the inherent wildness of children is present once again in Bumble-Ardy, the story of a little pig intent on celebrating his ninth birthday. Having had his first eight birthdays summarily passed over by an immediate family who “frowned on fun,” Bumble-Ardy is overjoyed when he is adopted by his “devine” Aunt Adeline. Like the doting relative she is, Adeline throws Ardy a sweet and thoughtful (though low-key) birthday party; however, Ardy, unsatisfied with his aunt’s efforts, decides to throw his own party, without his aunt’s permission. Having invited all of his most unsavoury friends, Bumble-Ardy’s party crescendos into a chaotic whirlwind until Aunt Adeline finally arrives home to break up the shenanigans. Many children will have been introduced to Sendak’s work through the classic Where the Wild Things Are, and superficially at least, many of the same elements are at work in Bumble-Ardy. The art style remains raw, colourful, and roughly executed, as a complement to the subject matter. However, the wildness on display in Bumble-Ardy is written to very different effect than that of Where the Wild Things Are. Whereas Wild Things’ Max was instantly relatable to young children—his mischief presented as harmless escapism and the product of a healthy and flourishing imagination—Ardy lacks the character definition necessary both to connect with readers and to excuse his behavior. While being deprived of birthday parties for nine years could certainly make a little boy act out, Ardy’s actions in the story feel especially deceptive, almost crossing a line from mischief into malice. Though Aunt Adeline forgives her nephew, of course, the emotional coda of the story feels tacked on. Instead, Adeline’s almost-terrifying outburst at arriving home, her house in shambles, is far more likely to stick with readers. The scenes of emotion, wildness, and chaos show glimpses of Sendak’s best work; however, the story itself makes a poor and lazy showcase for these talents. Flip through Bumble-Ardy to appreciate Sendak’s artwork, but when it comes time to read your child a bedtime story, go with Where the Wild Things Are instead.

She was previously the Editor of the Dalhousie Journal of Interdisciplinary Management and is very happy to be involved in the Deakin Review and the delightful world of children’s literature.

Organ Trafficking: Global Solutions for a Global Problem

The organ trafficking market is on the rise worldwide. Numerous unfortunate stories of networks of brokers, physicians, and hospitals engaged in illegal trade have been featured in high-profile media. The profitable enterprises facilitating these unregulated services exploit the poor in underresourced countries and offer substandard medical care with unacceptable outcomes to the rich recipients. Despite efforts to boost altruistic organ donation and resolutions to curb transplant tourism, their implementation has been compromised. At the same time, the worldwide escalation in the number of patients with kidney failure coupled with a shortage in the supply of organs continues to fuel this trade. Thus, measures to enhance the donor pool in well-resourced countries to meet their own needs will act as a strong deterrent to the proliferation of transplant tourism in impoverished nations. Regulated schemes that include reimbursement for removing potential disincentives to organ donation and ensure the long-term safety of donors and their families are likely to increase living donations. Such socially responsible programs should be tested in both developed and developing countries for their own populations. It also is vital that developing countries establish a regulated, standardized, and ethical system of organ procurement; create awareness in physicians and the public; upgrade facilities and standardize medical care; and enforce legislation for transplantation. The World Health Organization, National Kidney Foundation, and international transplant and nephrology societies can have an instrumental role in facilitating initiatives in these critical areas. There should be clearly defined codes of conduct for health care facilities and professionals' roles in unregulated paid organ donations and transplants. Ultimately, physicians and transplant surgeons have the responsibility to ensure to the best of their ability that the organs they transplant were obtained upholding the highest standards of ethics.

Revolution in Mind: The Creation of Psychoanalysis (review)

Reviewed by: Revolution in Mind: The Creation of Psychoanalysis Elizabeth Bromley George Makari . Revolution in Mind: The Creation of Psychoanalysis. New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 2008. viii + 613 pp. Ill. $32.50 (978-0-06-134661-3). It seems true, as the book jacket claims, that Revolution in Mind is the first book "ever to fully account for the making of psychoanalysis." George Makari's impressive new book vibrantly renders the intellectual environment of late-nineteenth-century Europe, exhaustively traces psychoanalysis's development through World War II, and generously enlivens an enormous cast of thinkers who fundamentally shaped the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. Makari's history includes the warts of Freud's science: the politicking, jockeying, and hand waving that plagued the effort are recounted in rich detail. Yet, through comprehensive historical detective work, Makari demonstrates why psychoanalysis was an astounding advance and an unparalleled watershed in the science of the mind and brain. This is neither a biography of Freud nor a good introduction to psychoanalytic thought, since Makari only indirectly explains Freud's ideas by detailing their development. Instead, Revolution in Mind is a history of a scientific discovery. The development of psychoanalysis as a science is finally and fully recounted: a brilliant synthesis of previously incommensurate ideas; the development of initial hypotheses and their dialectical refinement; theoretical advances in fits and starts; and an increasingly persuasive accumulation of evidence. The social portion of science is also detailed: the attacks from the mainstream aging lions; the backdoor politics enacted to maintain cohesiveness among colleagues; the uneven link between theory and practice; and the rising tide that lifted all boats. Makari demonstrates that, by prioritizing hypothesis testing and standards for data collection, Freud created an avalanche of investigation in psychological science. He deftly describes how Carl Jung, Eugen Bleuler, and other colleagues in Zurich devised experimental techniques with which to test tenets of Freud's model of the mind. Experimentation in the clinic also led to theoretical developments. Freud initially used dreams as the primary source of data about the unconscious, but dream interpretation proved a haphazard data collection tool. It took decades for psychoanalysts to recognize that the relationship between analyst and analysand could be a reliable representation of unconscious processes. Makari says, "Freud had pushed aside the complex hermeneutics of dream interpretation and replaced it with the analysis of transference. From the evidentiary point of view, this move was a winner, and Freud knew it" (p. 332). [End Page 214] Revolution in Mind is also a useful corrective, because it confronts certain totalizing myths about Freud. Freud was not an intellectual autocrat. Freud did struggle to maintain some theoretical unity among colleagues of immense diversity, and at times he squelched debate. His ideas were not inherently misogynistic. Instead, they were interpreted by some as blatantly revolutionary and libertine and by others as progressive and friendly to women. Overall, the critiques of psychoanalysis do not appear to have changed much in a century. Auguste Comte's curse haunted early analysts: psychological knowledge "could never be objective," Comte claimed, because a mind looking at itself would surely produce "as many theories as there are observers" (p. 11). Lacking rigorous laboratory techniques for gathering data, psychoanalysts argued over fundamental truths. One analyst's conclusions could easily be impugned as only "marked by the author's neurosis" (p. 170). Freud recognized that theoretical innovation emerged from introspection (e.g., following his father's death, during his own self-analysis) as often as it did from experimentation. And, as early psychoanalysts gleefully appropriated Freud's ideas to issue scathing cultural critiques, psychoanalysis as a social theory conflicted with psychoanalysis as a clinically relevant theory of the mind. For these reasons and others, psychoanalysts had difficulty maintaining a position in academic medical circles. Makari accomplishes a remarkable feat: he thoroughly explores the nuances of progress and retrenchment in this intellectual and scientific movement. His history does not shy away from the complexity of its subject. Revolution in Mind fills a significant gap, and it is a must read for scholars interested in the history of ideas about the mind or brain.
