A) PSY 512 – Addictions – Winter 2011 – Tonya Alexandri

‘The weakness of the DSM definition is the fact that it is symptom based, and therefore, simplistic, rather vague and not at all inclusive. Furthermore, overemphasis on symptoms can be confusing and disorientating and individuals are not viewed as whole entities inseparable from their environment and life experiences and circumstances’.

B) Sand in My Eyes: Sudanese Moments by Eniko Nagy (2014)

I have been looking at some beautiful photographs in Enikö Nagy’s interesting book – a compilation of images and words. In 2006, she went to work in Sudan. She was inspired by the people of Sudan and their unique way of life and so she set out to document their everyday rituals, customs, sounds and colours and the relevance of nomadism and oral wisdom in the modern world.
