The Third Functional Brain Unit in a Shattered World: Revisiting Neuropsychological Dysfunctions Through the Lens of Luria and Vygotsky

Book Review: Emily M. D. Scott, <i>For All Who Hunger: Searching for Communion in a Shattered World</i>

This is the third part of the article about the work and life of A.R. Luria in Kisegach which presents a unique document The Work Diary. A notebook with this name served him for daily records of studies of patients. It is kept in the family archive of Luria. This part publishes entries in the Diary from January 8 to June 22, 1943. The afterword to the notes tells about the generalization of clinical materials collected in Kisegach in the scientific works of A. R. Luria, about the perception of the scientist by his patients. It also supplements the history of the relationships between A. R. Luria and A. V. Zaporozhets according to the memoirs of the wife of Zaporozhets T. O. Ginevskaya (2005) and the daughter of L. S. Vygotsky G. L. Vygodskaya (2005). For this purpose, the materials of Luria's book The Lost and Returned World or The Man with a Shattered World (1971/1972) and the book of memoirs about A. V. Zaporozhets (Paramonova, 2005) have been employed. In general, the article shows an intense and fruitful work of scientists in the Kisegach hospital.

From the early 1500s to the mid-1700s, the American Southeast was the scene of continuous tumult as European powers vied for dominance in the region while waging war on Native American communities. Yet even before Hernando de Soto landed his expeditionary force on the Gulf shores of Florida, Native Americans had created their own cultures of violence: sets of ideas about when it was appropriate to use violence what sorts of violence were appropriate to a given situation. In New Worlds of Violence, Matthew Jennings offers a persuasive new framework for understanding the European Native American contact period the conflicts among indigenous peoples that preceded it. This pioneering approach posits that every group present in the Southeast had its own ideas about the use of violence that these ideas changed over time as they collided with one another. book starts with the Mississippian era continues through the successive Spanish English invasions of the Native South. Jennings argues that the English conquered the Southeast because they were able to force everyone else to adapt to their culture of violence, which, of course, changed over time as well. By 1740, a peculiarly Anglo-American culture of violence was in place that would profoundly influence the expansion of England s colonies the eventual southern United States. While Native African violence were present in this world, they moved in circles defined by the English. New Worlds of Violence concludes by pointing out that long-lasting violence bears long-lasting consequences. An important contribution to the growing body of work on the early Southeast, this book will significantly broaden readers understanding of America s violent past. Matthew Jennings is an assistant professor of history at Macon State College in Macon, Georgia. He is the author of Violence in a Shattered World in Mapping the Shatter Zone: European Invasion the Transformation of the Mississippian World, edited by Robbie Ethridge Sheri Shuck-Hall. His work has also appeared in The Uniting States, South Carolina Encyclopedia, A Multicultural History of the United States, and Encyclopedia of Native American History.

Creating a Shattered World: Toward the Poetics of Yevgeny Popov

This article discusses two sets of neurological case histories, A. R. Luria's The Man with a Shattered World and Oliver Sack's Awakenings, and argues that these histories display two paradigmatic explanations for the mind/brain relation, and that the movement from one paradigm to another also necessitates a movement to different forms of discourse. One explanation comes from the physical sciences and results in logical, quantitative exposition. The other originates in the human sciences and results in narrative. Luria and Sacks wrote these case histories in an explicit attempt to bridge—in understanding and in discourse—this paradigmatic gap; in the process, they redefined what it means to be a neuropsychiatrist. Case histories allow the writer to combine the empirical analysis characteristic of neurological discourse with the individual detail characteristic of psychological narrative.
