![]() This paper aims at examining these innovations in a systematic way with a view to reintegrating them within a general assessment of the film’s narrative strategy. The use of fades to black (as in the scene of Henry’s confession to Margaret about his past affair with Jacky Bast) is only one example among various cases of unusual editing, which often goes against the grain of the narrative conventions of Heritage filmmaking. Another side to this adaptation which has been generally overlooked by critics is the innovation Howards End brings in terms of editing in the context of costume dramas. ![]() as focused mainly on the idealisation of period scenes and the enjoyment of nostalgic, historical reconstitution. This status has sometimes contributed to a reductive vision of the film as the embodiment of an ‘aesthetics of display,’ in Andrew Higson’s phrase, i.e. Produced in the heyday of costume dramas and awarded many prizes Howards End stands today as the epitome of Heritage aesthetics. ![]() ![]() ![]() Other mental disorders, such as addiction and anorexia, result from the mismatch between modern environment and our ancient human past. Low moods prevent us from wasting effort in pursuit of unreachable goals, but they often escalate into pathological depression. Anxiety protects us from harm in the face of danger, but false alarms are inevitable. Drawing on revealing stories from his own clinical practice and insights from evolutionary biology, Nesse shows how negative emotions are useful in certain situations, yet can become overwhelming. Instead of asking why certain people suffer from mental illness, Nesse asks why natural selection has left us all with fragile minds. Now he returns with a book that transforms our understanding of mental disorders by exploring a fundamentally new question. Randolph Nesse helped to establish the field of evolutionary medicine. ![]() A founder of the field of evolutionary medicine uses his decades of experience as a psychiatrist to provide a much-needed new framework for making sense of mental illness.Why do I feel bad?

Applied sociologists work with policy and community organisations to affect justice organisations and practices. Instead, he sees that social scientists are tasked with critiquing social institutions and relations of power in different societies. He sees it is our task to help to put this plan into action.įoucault argues that there is no ideal concept of social justice that can be universally applied. Chomsky believes that the social sciences should draw up a framework for an ideal society where creativity, freedom and scientific discovery will flourish. What is our role in social justice as applied sociologists? In this great debate from 1971, Michel Foucault and Noam Chomsky disagree about the fundamental qualities of “human nature” and the key task of social science in helping humanity achieve its collective potential. ![]() ![]() ![]()
