As part of his crackdown on corruption since he took office in 2012, Xi has led an anti-corruption campaign that made adultery grounds for banishment from the Communist Party.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Cognitive behavioral therapy long ago overtook psychoanalysis as the dominant form of therapy\u2014and it had results to back up this dominance. In more recent studies, though, the talking cure has proven increasingly effective. Is it time to bring Freud back into the fold? \u201cIn contrast to the meandering conversations of psychoanalysis, a typical CBT exercise might involve filling out a flowchart to identify the self-critical \u2018automatic thoughts\u2019 that occur whenever you face a setback \u2026 Yet rumblings of dissent from the vanquished psychoanalytic old guard have never quite gone away. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/2016\/jan\/07\/therapy-wars-revenge-of-freud-cognitive-behavioural-therapy?CMP=share_btn_fb\" target=\"_blank\">At their core is a fundamental disagreement about human nature\u2014about why we suffer, and how, if ever, we can hope to find peace of mind<\/a> \u2026 CBT doesn\u2019t exactly claim that happiness is easy, but it does imply that it\u2019s relatively simple: your distress is caused by your irrational beliefs, and it\u2019s within your power to seize hold of those beliefs and change them. Psychoanalysts contend that things are much more complicated. For one thing, psychological pain needs first not to be eliminated, but understood. From this perspective, depression is less like a tumor and more like a stabbing pain in your abdomen: it\u2019s telling you something, and you need to find out what.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Many of us enjoy a good walk. I myself embarked on a walk this very morning, and plan to walk more throughout the day. But I\u2019ll probably never walk as much, or as far, as Werner Herzog, whose book <em>Of Walking in Ice <\/em>tells of his journey on foot from Munich to Paris in 1974. \u201c\u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/werner-herzogs-maniacal-quests\/\" target=\"_blank\">Walking on foot brings you down to the very stark, naked core of existence<\/a>,\u2019 Herzog told a <em>Film Comment<\/em> interviewer in 1979, a year after <em>Of Walking in Ice<\/em> was first published in Germany. \u2018We travel too much in airplanes and cars. It\u2019s an existential quality that we are losing. It\u2019s almost like a credo of religion that we should walk.\u2019 Over the course of many years, and in countless different interviews, Herzog has spoken of his filmmaking\u2014and of walking\u2014in vaguely spiritual, even divine terms (\u2018It\u2019s like a grace, like a gift of God that has fallen into my lap\u2019).\u201d<\/li>\n<li>In which Ben Lerner pays a visit to the new Whitney\u2019s conservation department: \u201cFor many modern and contemporary artists, ephemerality is part of the point. Dieter Roth, to take just one example, didn\u2019t cover his canvases with yogurt for the sake of durability; they were built to biodegrade. Picasso and Braque told friends that they would rather let their canvases deteriorate than have them varnished \u2026 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2016\/01\/11\/the-custodians-onward-and-upward-with-the-arts-ben-lerner\" target=\"_blank\">In the absence of explicit and complete instructions\u2014that is, most of the time\u2014conservation is fundamentally an interpretive act<\/a> \u2026 The work of a conservator can re-sacralize the original art object \u2026 Conservation can help produce\u2014not just protect\u2014the aura of the original.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the course of the \u201cLittle Ice Age\u201d that befell Europe some centuries back, the River Thames froze twenty-three times\u2014such an unlikely occurrence that people had no choice but to party on the ice.
