In the summer of 1956, when Jo met charismatic young preacher Bill Vamos at a Vacation Bible School conference, neither could possibly have predicted the decades-long journey they were about to embark on together. It was a journey from courtship to marriage and beyond that would take them everywhere from the colorful bazaars of India to the cornfields of Indiana. It would bolster--and test--their faith in ways they never could have anticipated.
Jo Vamos Honig tells the frank and captivating story of their life together, navigating the triumphs and the sorrows with humor and grace. The joyful moments of building a life and a family are explored alongside the struggles of navigating a partner's mental illness. We travel with Jo and Bill from the sanctuary of the church to the cold hallways of the psych ward and back again, witness to both their sadness and their joy.

Описание:
In the contemporary world of neoliberalism, efficiency is treated as the vehicle of political and economic health. State bureaucracy, but not corporate bureaucracy, is seen as inefficient, and privatization is seen as a magic cure for social ills. In Public Things: Democracy in Disrepair, Bonnie Honig asks whether democracy is possible in the absence of public services, spaces, and utilities. In other words, if neoliberalism leaves to democracy merely electoral majoritarianism and procedures of deliberation while divesting democratic states of their ownership of public things, what will the impact be? Following Tocqueville, who extolled the virtues of “pursuing in common the objects of common desires,” Honig focuses not on the demos but on the objects of democratic life. Democracy, as she points out, postulates public things—infrastructure, monuments, libraries—that citizens use, care for, repair, and are gathered up by. To be “gathered up” refers to the work of D. W. Winnicott, the object relations psychoanalyst who popularized the idea of “transitional objects”—the toys, teddy bears, or favorite blankets by way of which infants come to understand themselves as unified selves with an inside and an outside in relation to others. The wager of Public Things is that the work transitional objects do for infants is analogously performed for democratic citizens by public things, which press us into object relations with others and with ourselves. Public Things attends also to the historically racial character of public things: public lands taken from indigenous peoples, access to public goods restricted to white majorities. Drawing on Hannah Arendt, who saw how things fabricated by humans lend stability to the human world, Honig shows how Arendt and Winnicott—both theorists of livenesss—underline the material and psychological conditions necessary for object permanence and the reparative work needed for a more egalitarian democracy.
