In particular, the following question has not been answered satisfactorily: what distinguishes a psychoanalytically oriented study of historical realities from a historical psychoanalysis? Skepticism and fear of collaboration dominate on both sides. Initiating a productive dialogue between historical studies and psychoanalysis seems to be plagued by ignorance and, at times, a sense of helplessness. Interdisciplinary collaborations are rare.
Empirical research, formulation of theory, and the development of methods are essentially carried out within the conventional disciplinary boundaries. This volume undertakes to overcome these limitations by combining psychoanalytical and historical perspectives and thus exploring the underlying 'unconscious' dimensions and by informing academic and nonacademic forms of historical memory. Moreover, it puts special emphasis on transgenerational forms of remembrance, on the notion of trauma as a key concept in this field, and on case studies that point the way to further research.

Early modern architecture coincided with a sustained drive to transform a country that was still primarily rural into a modern industrial state, and throughout the twentieth century, architects in Italy have attempted to define the role of architecture within a capitalist economy and under diverse political systems. In Italy: Modern Architectures in History, Diane Yvonne Ghirardo addresses these and other issues in her analysis of the last century of Italy’s building practices. Specifically, she examines the post-unification efforts to identify a distinctly Italian architectural language, as well as the transformation of the urban environment in Italian cities undergoing industrialization in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
She challenges received interpretations of modern architecture and also looks at the subject of illegal building and current responses to ecological challenges. In order to illuminate the full scope of the building industry in Italy, her examples are drawn not only from the work of widely published architects in the largest cities but from throughout the peninsula, including small towns and rural areas. Insightful reading for those interested in Italian culture, this book offers a new way of understanding the architectural history of modern Italy.

But the victims of the accident are not the only ones to have returned from the dead. Their arrival coincides with a series of grizzly murders which bear a chilling resemblance to the work of a serial killer from the past.A stunning page-turner filled with startlingly real characters, Seth Patrick’s THE RETURNED reveals how the choices we make can affect those we love long after we’re gone.

I've never read a book based on a tv show before so idk what to expect, lol.i didn't even know this EXISTED until i saw it in the bookstore (when i'd already paid so i had no money left why does Provenance hate me)on a mildly unrelated note, i accidentally came across another book of the same name that literally plagarised Les Revenants.
And it even had another american tv show based off it, called Resurrection. People are shameless. I had a love/hate relationship with this novel – extremely well written and most definitely addictive, I have not seen the tv show but am now very tempted to take a look.Some huge plus points – the writing style has such a flow to it that it pulls you right into the story, into the lives of these people who are suddenly facing the very real consequence of “Be careful what you wish for”.

I could barely put it down as I watched the aftermath of the dead returning, the joy and the disbelief and the very chilling events that follow.The prose does have a very “screenplay” feel, which works extremely well, yet does not lose any sense of character in order to thrill – the heart of the story is in the emotional side of things, with the mystery and also horror elements woven around that in a great way. Overall then a really good, thought provoking read.My one little bugbear was that after a terrific build up, a real sense of anticipation, the ending felt to me a little rushed and was definitely unsatisfying. Having said that I’m fairly sure there is more to come.
I’m unsure whether there is more than one season of the visual version, but if that ended as this did I truly hope so. And I hope that there will be another instalment from Seth Patrick, – he has given us a page turner with heart and soul and I would love to know what happens next.RecommendedHappy Reading Folks!.I would like to thank Netgalley and Sourcebooks for the opportunity to read this book.At first the book pulled me right in, it was creepy with dead people coming back just as they were when they died.

I don’t understand this book – I just don’t really understand the point of it.When I picked it up I thought it would be the book that The Returned television series was based on – my mistake, it’s actually a book based on the television series (both of which are based on another book which is rather loopy).

Book spin offs from TV shows happen and we’ve reviewed a few before so while it wasn’t what I expected I was curious about where it would go, given the mystery and unanswered questions of the seriesIt turns out, however, that “based on” is not exactly an accurate description of this book. “Blatant copy” is much more accurate.
This book is a recap of the show. Literally, someone took the script sat down and just wrote it as a novel. The characters, plot, setting, conversations – pretty much everything is exactly the same. It actually reminds me of a blog recap without the commentary. I almost DNFed this book from sheer redundancy since I already knew what would happen in painful detail – but I held on to the end to see if anything changed.
Lack-of-things-to-spoil-alert: nothing did. Not one damn thingThe only real difference between the two was medium. Since this was a book we had a lot less of the dramatic visuals and ominous music that were so prevalent in the TV series (which is absolutely terrible because this entire tv show was BASED on the atmosphere – it’s like taking a Michael Bay movie and removing the explosions an half naked Megan Fox – there’s nothing left to it afterwards). We lose a lot of the ominous because of this – for example, when Victor appears on the tv show he is so utterly creepy that the average viewer wanted to kill him with fire – that’s completely lost in the book. And Victor is oddly chatty and not ominously silent.Instead what we have is the ability to see things through the character’s eyes, from their point of view. Yes, this book is a switching POV 1st person. And this is AWFUL.
It is awful because it takes all the nuanced depiction of the atmosphere, well acted portrayals and layered conflicts and decides to info-dump the hell out of all of it. Do we need to see Jerome struggling with the conflicts over Lucy, his family and his general feelings of failure and inadequacy? Nope because he’s going to info-dump all of that in one big self-reflecting chunk of text! Lena dealing with survivor’s guilt and fear with her returning twin sister? Sure we could show a series of developing conflict – or we could have her exposition an appalling info dump.
When I first requested this book, I thought it was about the current TV show, which sucks. I just wanted to find out wth was going on without having to sit through the boring episodes. Then I realized it was a totally different book and not related to the TV show. However, an 8 episode series was made of this book and shown in the UK. Lucky them!!Although I haven't read the other book by Jason Mott, I did watch a few episodes of the TV series. This one is WAY better.

Of course, Hollywood does have a tendency to drag out things so they will get enough for a season's worth of episodes, so I guess this isn't a fair analysis.But back to the book, I found it very interesting and entertaining. It read quickly and I read it all in one sitting. I highly recommend it as I had a very hard time putting it down.Thanks to Sourcebooks and Net Galley for a free e-galley in exchange for an honest review.

The Returned is based on the French tv series, Les Revenants, which is one of the best tv series I've ever seen. Because of this, I can't express an unbiased view. I've seen the series three years ago - long enough to forget exactly what happened, but to still know who the characters were and how it all looked, so to say.A good thing, too.

Because while the novel was gripping, the author doesn't bother much with descriptions. I'm not a fan of the pages-long descriptions of Nature some authors go for, but Patrick really lacked in this department. All we basically know about the town is that there's a lake, a lot of pines, and a valley.
The same goes for the character - their appearance is hardly ever described. Even if it is, their hair colour is about the most we get. Because of this, it didn't feel as if he was writing his own story.
Which it obviously isn't, but you'd expect a twist, I think. I also thought it was odd he would talk about Monsieur Costa and Madame Payet, but then refers to parents as Mum and Dad.The story itself is very intense, of course. Atypical, too, for the genre. I remember thinking this about the tv series as well - how different it would be if it was American. The story is what kept me reading. The characters draw the reader in as well - they're all so different and so imperfect.
Especially with the short chapters and the change in point of view, it was quite unputdownable. But I don't know how much of that I can attribute to Seth Patrick.I would recommend anyone who read this and liked it to see the original tv series as well. The atmosphere is amazing. My book that I read was The Returned by Seth Patrick. It is a fiction book.
It is a book that has several sub-plots to it. It is about a group of people who died in a bus accident and have come back from the dead. The book explains the story and life of each individual character that died. There are many things I liked about the book.

My favorite part of the book was when Camille walked into her family’s home like it was just another day. Her family was just freaked out and they were screaming and crying but Camille had no idea what was going on because she doesn’t remember being killed in a bus accident. The accident occurred 4 years prior to her returning home. The story did in fact grip me and kept me turning the pages, it was hard to put the book down at times.
What I disliked about the book was the ending. It was a very anticlimactic ending and it did not really explain why or how these individuals came back from the dead 4 years later. It just tells each character’s story and the book just ends after fully explaining their situations. So if the ending was better I would have enjoyed the book a lot more than what I do now. This book is a really good mystery themed book and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading books and mystery.
I give this book a ⅗ rating because of the lame ending. The Returned by Seth Patrick the first book of a currently two book series is a fiction mystery book based on the tv show “The Returned” and is about a small town in the alpines where the dead are coming back alive.

This book has a few different stories happening at the same time from different character’s point of view. The book starts off with a character in a dam talking about how the water level is getting really low and starts to mention the old village that is under all of the water that was flooded out years ago when the old damn broke.
The story does a fairly good job at character development throughout the story. Seth Patrick did a very good job at keeping your attention towards one huge mystery in the book but also made sure you were sucked into the other stories. I really enjoyed how this was able to make me keep turning pages and kept me focused on the story the whole time it was just the way he was able to keep the flow of the story not stop and keep you thinking of how everything is happening. Although I did not like how the book ended it left me really confused.
I really enjoyed this book and I can not wait to read the second book. I give this book a five out of five Seth Patrick did a very good job on this book.
In a small French village, people's lives go on as usual although many of them have experienced tragedies and trauma. All of their lives are overshadowed by someone who has died, whether they know it or not. When the dead come back exactly as they died, the sleepy town is thrown into chaos. If that weren't enough, brutal murders occur, eerily similar to unsolved cases of years ago. The town's scars are reopened and raw.

All of their lives are overshadowed by someone who has died, whether they know it or not. When the dead come back exactly as they died, the sleepy town is thrown into chaos. If that weren't enough, brutal murders occur, eerily similar to unsolved cases of years ago.
The town's scars are reopened and raw. Only time will tell who will be strong enough to continue, who will die, and if the dead are here to stay.When the novel opens, the cast of characters are stuck in some aspect of their lives or on the cusp of moving on. Jerome is separated from his wife Claire because both of them never recovered from her daughter's death. Jerome pushed everyone away and now lives alone, clinging to a psychic for solace. Claire is with sanctimonious, creepy Pierre. Their remaining daughter Lena throws herself into drink and drugs to forget. Adele is about to get married when her previous lover died on the day they were supposed to be married.
Julie throws herself into work and rejects her former girlfriend after being attacked years ago. Toni continues to be haunted by his past choices and his mother's judgment for them. While their day to day lives are fairly normal, their pasts are with them every single day.When they return, the dead appear exactly before they died and have no memory of what happened. Outwardly, they appear completely normal and coherent. Inability to sleep and an insatiable hunger plague them. Each of the main characters are visited by a zombie who causes secrets to resurface and their entire lives to change. Each person reacts to them differently.
Claire sees the return of her daughter Camille as a gift from god while Pierre sees it as the beginning of the end times. Adele sees the return of her late fiance Simon as a psychological vision because she is remarrying. Julie protects little Victor even though she's never seen him before and sees him as abused and broken as she views herself. Toni falls back into old habits with his unstable brother Serge.
One man, Michel, sets his house on fire and kills himself. The dead mean something different to everyone and all transform their lives for better or worse.While much of the story is a drama between characters, some chilling imagery and eerie events take place. When Camille comes home, a torn up rabbit is found in the garbage and all of the photos with her in them are torn to shreds.
A few murders are found with signs that parts of the victims were eaten, mirroring those of years ago. Around the underwater city, animals were so scared that they would rather drown themselves than face whatever scared them. Overall, I wish there was much more horror in this book.
So much of it was slow and quiet, focusing on the character's relationships and secrets, but I was truly expecting a huge horrific ending that never came.The Returned is the heartbreaking story of the dead returning to life, opening old wounds and uncovering buried secrets for the living. Although the story undeniably has flaws and some revelations that come out of nowhere, the book was enjoyable. The anticlimactic ending really through me off and it felt like there was something missing. This book was based on the French television show Les Revenants which was remade into an American TV show The Returned. Although the French show is pretty much universally acclaimed and the American show was cancelled, I will check both out to see the comparisons between each other and the book. The dead are back and they want your electricity!A remote Alpine village has more than its share of tragic deaths, but things get complicated when the dead start returning.
They appear to be selected at random and have no idea why they came back, but they are in a pretty bad mood. Maybe it's because they carry all the dark secrets that the living had buried with them.

The Returned have an ax to grind, literally, plus enormous appetites and their reappearance somehow takes the power grid offline.
What their problem is with electricity is not revealed, nor their connection with the leaking dam, suicidal animals, the prior drowned village, nor why they are gathering together at the Hidden Hand to take the living with them. But the dead men are still sexy enough to lure the living to bed. Necrophilia isn't often explored. However, Patrick writes quick chapters with artful cliffhangers that keep you reading. The French TV series (Les Revenants) barely differs from the novel but is beautifully produced and much more forgivable for it. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.

I don't like not knowing what happened. It didn't explain why they came back. Or why they were getting into groups in front of bonfires? Didn't explain why you couldn't kill them.

Although I loved the plot of this book, over all it was just a fair read. One problem is the author obviously plans on this being a series of books so you never really find out what is going on. A mistake rookie authors make thinking it will make you buy their next book rather than have each book stand on its own.
Also, character development is rather weak as I never related to any of them.

Also, character development is rather weak as I never related to any of them. This makes the dialogue rather clumsy since it does not always appear they are real people saying things that we expect them to say. A good author makes their characters come alive, not just in the plot, but in the readers mind. Mr Patrick had a way to go to get to this level. The end was as mysterious as the whole story.
Was a compelling read and kept my interest all the way through. Mostly because I wanted to solve the mystery and understand why. But the end was a let down without any understanding. If there was more to the end, I would have given it 5⭐. But the end was quite a disappointment. The end was as mysterious as the whole story.
