A powerful, unflinching and deep look from multiple vertices into
our contemporary collective descent, epitomized by the COVID-19
pandemic and systemic racism in societies makes Ominous Transitions
a strong, psychoactive read. The editors have brought forward the
wisdom of an impressive coterie of authors who can address the
tenuousness of hope for a better future together with reflective
awareness of the spur of shame in the service of social justice.
This volume can serve as a much needed guide for the troubled times
we are traversing in this archetypal moment in global history.

timely and timeless, Ominous Transitions probes the darker aspects
of the passageways from one fraught state of being to the next.
Widely varying phenomena are addressed, from an everyday
psychoanalytic session in turbulent times, to random, uncanny
personal encounters on the street, to societal malaise and
breakdown, to genocide. The essays offer clarifying and insightful
explications of these experiences, drawing from such luminaries as
Derrida, Lacan, Bion, Winnicott, Levinas, and Stiegler. Editors
Hinton and Willemsen have given us an invaluable aid in
understanding and withstanding the massive upheavals of the present
day.- Margaret Crastnopol (Peggy), Ph.D. is a Seattle-based
psychoanalyst and the author of Micro-trauma:A Psychoanalytic
Understanding of Cumulative Psychic Injury, who writes and speaks
on micro-trauma as well as on character and selfhood, the analyst's
Achilles' heels, and grappling with obstacles to psychic
growth.Hinton and Willemsen’s welcome follow-up to their
award-winning Shame and Temporality is another collection of essays
put together by these two expert editors whose latest volume brings
to mind Schopenhauer’s insight that the world could be regarded as
a giant penitentiary. Ominous Transitions is a book for those who
crave something more than utopian resolutions. Instead, the pages
of this extraordinarily thought provoking book are emblazened with
foundational ideas from original thinkers such as Derrida’s
différance, Heidegger’s thrownness, Giegerich’s (and others’)
noetics, Lacan’s hontologie, Nietzsche’s simplified nihilism, and
Stiegler’s neganthropocene. It is an exciting read and is highly
recommended.- Ann Casement, LP, FRAI, FRSM, Professor, Oriental
