Sommario/riassunto

This book provides the first systematic discourse on a very peculiarapproach to the theory of strongly correlated systems. HubbardX-operators have been known for a long time but have not been widelyused because of their awkward algebra. The book shows that it ispossible to deal with X-operators even in the general multilevel localeigenstate system, and not just in the case of the nondegenerateHubbard model. X-operators provide the natural language for describingquasiparticles in the Hubbard subbands with unusual doping andtemperature-dependent band structures.

Sommario/riassunto

Individuals sometimes derive sexual pleasure from submission to cruel discipline. While that predilection was noted as early as the sixteenth century, masochism was not codified as a concept until 1890. According to John K. Noyes, its invention reflected a crisis in the liberal understanding of subjectivity and sexuality which continues to inform discussions of masochism today. In essence, it remains a political concept. Viennese physician Richard von Krafft-Ebing coined the term masochism, based on the work of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Noyes analyzes the social and political problems that inspired the concept, suggesting, for example, that the triumphant expansion of European colonialism was in part animated by an ambivalence in masculine sexuality. Noyes documents the evolution of the concept of masochism with scenes in literature from John Cleland's Fanny Hill through Sacher-



Masoch's Venus in Furs and Pauline Reage's Story of 0. Analysis of Freud's vastly influential rereading of masochism precedes an exploration of the work of his successors, including Wilhem Reich, Theodor Reik, Helene Deutsch, and Karen Horney. Noyes suggests that the thematics of feminine masochism emerged only gradually from an exclusively male concept.
