[Nubar Hovsepian] Edward Said: An Oppositional Intellectual

From on high, establishment intellectuals replicate dominant societal narratives, power structures, and established norms. And as long as they perform that task, they are honored, and celebrated and are invited to all the talk shows, and attend dinner parties of the rich and powerful, and get to play golf with them and they are, of course, well rewarded financially. In sharp contrast are intellectuals who go against the grain, who rock the boat, who challenge the existing order, who contest the hegemonic discourse, who speak the truth and expose the lies and deceptions of officialdom. An oppositional intellectual not only questions mainstream ideologies and received wisdom but also offers alternatives. Edward Said was one of the 20th century's most influential intellectuals. He exemplified the oppositional intellectual who made the comfortable uncomfortable. Interviewed by David Barsamian.

Edward Said was one of the most influential intellectuals of the twentieth century. A literary scholar with an aesthete's temperament, he did not experience his political awakening until the 1967 Arab–Israeli war, which transformed his thinking and led him to forge ties with political groups and like-minded scholars. Said's subsequent writings, which cast light on the interplay between cultural representation and the exercise of Western political power, caused a seismic shift in scholarly circles and beyond. In this intimate intellectual biography, by a close friend and confidant, Nubar Hovsepian offers fascinating insight into the evolution of Said's political thought. Through analysis of Said's seminal works and the debates surrounding them, Edward Said: The Politics of an Oppositional Intellectual (American University in Cairo Press, 2025) traces the influence of Foucault on Said, and how Said eventually diverged from this influence to arrive at a more pronounced understanding of agency, resistance, and liberation. He consequently affiliated more closely with Raymond Williams, Antonio Gramsci, and more contemporaneously, with his friends the late Eqbal Ahmad and Ibrahim Abu-Lughod. Said held that it is the intellectual's responsibility to expose lies and deceptions of the holders of power. A passionate advocate for the Palestinian cause, his solidarity did not prevent him from launching a sustained critique of the Palestinian leadership. Hovsepian charts both Said's engagement with the Palestinian national movement and his exchanges with a host of intellectuals over Palestine, arguing that Said's interventions have succeeded in changing the parameters of the discourse in the humanities, and among younger Jews searching for political affiliation. Drawing on his diaries, in which he recorded his meetings with Said, as well as access to some of Said's private letters, Hovsepian illuminates, in rich detail, the trajectory of Said's political thinking and the depth and breadth of his engagement with peers and critics over issues that continue to resonate to this day. Nubar Hovsepian is associate professor emeritus of political science at Chapman University in Orange, California. He is the author of Palestinian State Formation: Education and the Construction of National Identity, and he edited and contributed to The War on Lebanon. Hovsepian has devoted enormous time to the Israel/Palestine conflict, and served, from 1982 to 1984, as political affairs officer for the United Nations Conference on the Question of Palestine.

Are you tired of daily arguments with your teen? Do you feel like no matter what approach you take—being firm or being gentle—nothing seems to work? In this episode of Power Your Parenting – Moms with Teens, Colleen O'Grady welcomes Dr. Paul Sunseri a seasoned family therapist and author of Gentle Parenting Reimagined: How to Make It Work with Oppositional and Defiant Kids. Together, they dive into the challenges of parenting strong-willed teens and explore why traditional parenting strategies often fall short with oppositional kids. Dr. Sunseri shares his journey of working with high-conflict families, uncovering what truly works when it comes to setting limits, reducing arguments, and fostering better communication. Paul Sunseri, Psy.D., is a clinical psychologist and father of four who treats children and adolescents with serious mental health conditions. He is the developer of Intensive Family-Focused Therapy (myIFFT.org), a highly effective form of family-based mental health care. One of the key insights from this conversation is the importance of clarity, consistency, and disengagement in parenting. Dr. Sinceri explains that parents often get trapped in unnecessary arguments because teens use red herrings—distractions and emotional outbursts—to steer the conversation away from responsibilities. He emphasizes that arguing with a teen is never productive and that parents should focus on setting clear expectations without engaging in power struggles. Instead of negotiating endlessly, parents should hold firm boundaries and use practical consequences, such as limiting screen time, until responsibilities are met. Disengagement is another crucial strategy—when a teen escalates, staying calm and walking away removes the emotional fuel that drives the conflict, ultimately leading to fewer power struggles. Three Key Takeaways: Stop engaging in arguments: The moment a conversation turns into a debate or escalates into yelling, step back. Arguments require two participants—when you refuse to engage, the conflict loses its power. Use structured consequences effectively: Screens and privileges should be earned, not given freely. By tying them to responsibilities like homework and chores, teens learn accountability without constant battles. Disengage from emotional explosions: Instead of reacting to tantrums or verbal outbursts, remain calm, state your boundary, and walk away. Over time, this teaches teens self-regulation and reduces dramatic confrontations. By shifting their approach, parents can create a more peaceful home environment, helping their teens develop responsibility while maintaining a loving connection.

In recent years, gentle parenting has become popular among parents but it sometimes can be challenging to pull off. With its emphasis on building connections and acknowledging feelings, this parenting philosophy helps children feel supported and valued while giving parents the tools to calmly guide them as they grow and develop.Yet, while this approach seems infinitely better the authoritarian styles of previous generations, parents often find that it can be challenging to execute with kids that are more strong-willed and oppositional. And because these kids can be so challenging and exhausting, many parents often give up on gentle parenting, concluding that it is unrealistic and just plain doesn't work.But parents can be gentle and still get their kids to be much less argumentative and far more willing to do what they're asked. As leading child and family expert Dr. Paul Sunseri reveals in GENTLE PARENTING REIMAGINED: How to Make It Work with Oppositional and Defiant Kids (Routledge paperback, on sale December 6, 2024), there are practical, effective, evidence-based solutions that drastically reduce (or even eliminate!) common daily behavioral challenges.

Gentle Parenting Reimagined In recent years, gentle parenting has become popular among parents but it sometimes can be challenging to pull off. With its emphasis on building connections and acknowledging feelings, this parenting philosophy helps children feel supported and valued while giving parents the tools to calmly guide them as they grow and develop.Yet, while this approach seems infinitely better the authoritarian styles of previous generations, parents often find that it can be challenging to execute with kids that are more strong-willed and oppositional. And because these kids can be so challenging and exhausting, many parents often give up on gentle parenting, concluding that it is unrealistic and just plain doesn't work.But parents can be gentle and still get their kids to be much less argumentative and far more willing to do what they're asked. As leading child and family expert Dr. Paul Sunseri reveals in GENTLE PARENTING REIMAGINED: How to Make It Work with Oppositional and Defiant Kids (Routledge paperback, on sale December 6, 2024), there are practical, effective, evidence-based solutions that drastically reduce (or even eliminate!) common daily behavioral challenges. And these solutions are based on a respectful, loving style that today's parents prefer.Whether they are contending with children who are disrespectful, refuse to listen, resist responsibilities, or are unable to regulate their emotions, parents can access a fresh toolbox of effective methods for solving these challenges in this illuminating guidebook.

Have you ever felt like you're butting heads with your strong-willed kid? Well, you're not alone!  Episode 187 shares some fantastic tips for dealing with those headstrong, independent-minded teens we all know and love. First off, let's celebrate these traits! Heidi reminds us that having a strong sense of self and the ability to think independently are actually superpowers. We're not trying to squash these qualities, just guide them in a positive direction. Here are some nuggets of wisdom from the episode: Choices, choices, choices! Whenever possible, give your teen options. This could be as simple as "Do you want to ride with your brother or us to the event?" It helps them feel empowered and invested in decisions. Find the 'yes' in the 'no'. When your teen asks for something you're not keen on, try to find a small part you can agree to. For example, if they're always asking to eat out with friends, maybe you can say yes to one meal a week. This approach helps them focus on what they're getting rather than what they're not. Watch your tone! Our teens can be sensitive to authoritative tones, so try to soften your approach. It doesn't mean you're not in charge, just that you're being respectful of their growing autonomy. Invite their input. Ask for their thoughts on family decisions. It shows you value their opinion and helps them practice decision-making skills. The best part? These strategies can lead to stronger relationships with our teens. Heidi mentioned that her daughter now comes to her for advice on almost everything! Remember, we're not aiming for perfection here. It's all about finding ways to respect our teens' growing independence while still providing the guidance they need. It takes time and practice, but it's so worth it.

Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a disruptive behavior disorder that emerges during childhood or adolescence and is characterized by persistent angry or irritable mood, unruly and argumentative behavior, and vindictiveness. It frequently manifests in hostility toward authority figures. All children display defiant behavior at some point, especially when tired or stressed. Oppositional behavior is in fact normal in toddlers and in early adolescents. The behavior of a child with ODD is much more extreme and disruptive than normal, however, and occurs much more frequently than the type of childhood stubbornness and rebellion that children may display over the course of development. The oppositional behavior of ODD is not only persistent but occurs across a wide array of situations and interferes with children's social, family, and educational life. Give yourself a break and tune in and learn how to identify and manage Oppositional Defiance Disorder!

If you're a parent with a kiddo who's constantly angry and acting out, a diagnosis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) can seem like an explanation for a lot of disruptive behavior. But what if that defiance and opposition are actually caused by other sensitivity? I've worked with so many parents who struggle to understand why their strong-willed kid is lashing out. An ODD diagnosis can seem like an answer, but the label doesn't come with the tools to actually help their sensitive little human cope with their big feelings. Let's talk about why I think ODD is a symptom, not a cause, and how to approach your struggling kiddo with the empathy they need to become a success story.In this episode, you'll learn:Why I'm convinced the behavior we label as oppositional and defiant is really our kids asking for help the only way they know how. All the other sensitivities and specialness that an ODD label can cause us to overlook.What strong-willed kids are looking for when they use external conflict to compensate for internal discomfort.Why we try to think our way through situations when we should learn how to feel through them instead.And much more!

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and are not affiliated with any other group or religious organization. Members include Couples, Single Parents, Stepparents, Guardians, and Grandparents. The families we support have one or more acting-out children ranging in age from middle school to older adult children. Our program provides support and tools for parents to change their own behavior, not “fix” their child. We promote independence and natural consequences for our kids' actions, which is usually not an appropriate approach for younger children. Regardless of your child's age, we will welcome you at Changes. But you may find that our members have less personal experience to draw upon and share if your child is in elementary school.  Typical problem behaviors can be: Violent or abusive Oppositional and defiant Failing grades or not attending school Substance abuse Stealing at home or shoplifting Gang involvement Running away   The purpose of the group is not to change our child's behaviors.  It is to help us give up that need to control and work on changing our own mindset and behaviors toward our children.  We can support them and support ourselves and allow them indepedence to find their own path and feel the consequences of their behaviors.   This is an amazing resources for parents who are feeling anxious and fearful and need support to know what to do.     You can call this number 8884682620. to start the process of signing up.

Friends, I was beyond furious after seeing a post from a parent who was guided by a so-called "therapist" who gave a young child such a damaging label. The diagnosis they provided? Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Just thinking of it triggers me because through my research and clinical experience, I've seen the heartbreak it causes. For years, eager, confused, EXHAUSTED parents have come to me seeking understanding - why does little Timmy have meltdowns at sports practice? Why won't Emily stay at a sleepover? But too often, other providers slap these simplistic labels that annihilate the little hope they're hanging onto. Listen to learn more.

In this episode, I unravel how to extend connection to our children while acknowledging that some might see this connection as a threat. I offer insights on toning down the demand for connection, enabling our children to relax in it, and thereby strengthen their stress response system. I also reference the previous episodes in this four-part series by talking about the science of opposition, some practical strategies, and tackling kids stuck in protection mode, all with the aim of providing a comprehensive understanding of making connection a safe experience.In this episode you'll learn:That providing too much connection can often be overwhelming and feel more like danger than connectionTo titrate connection and supply only as much as the child needs or wantsShowing your child you think of them when are not together like buying their favorite snack, titrates connection by showing that you are thinking of them and you see themResources mentioned in this podcast:Exploring Low Demand Parenting: Shifting Power Dynamics And Nurturing Trust {EP 142}Read the full transcript at: RobynGobbel.com/oppositional4Follow Me On:FacebookInstagramOver on my website you can find:Webinar and eBook on Focus on the Nervous System to Change Behavior (FREE)eBook on The Brilliance of Attachment (FREE)Ongoing support, connection, and co-regulation for struggling parents: The ClubYear Long Immersive & Holistic Training Program for Parenting Professionals: Being WithBecome a Better Parent Coach is a five-day audio-only training for anyone who works with the parents of kids with big, baffling behaviors.

Dealing with oppositional behavior in individuals can be quite challenging for parents, often leading to feelings of frustration, helplessness, and even guilt. It's crucial to recognize that experiencing these emotions is a natural response to the difficulties presented by oppositional behavior and should not be viewed as a reflection of one's parenting abilities.Thus, it's essential to emphasize that overcoming these challenges is possible. Learn more about skillfully handling frustrated children and fostering a more harmonious environment for them and the whole family. That's why in today's episode, we'll delve into effective strategies to mitigate possible conflicts in a household, focusing on effectively managing oppositional defiant behaviors in uncooperative kids. Managing oppositional defiant behaviors in children.It's crucial to understand Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and differentiate it from Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). ODD manifests in explosive reactions, especially when children face simple requests or the word "no." Understanding that ODD and ADD are distinct clinical conditions is key insofar as their brain profiles and responses to treatments greatly differ.For so long, I've noticed that some children are easily overwhelmed with frustration, making them more prone to exhibiting oppositional behaviors. Children who are more prone to frustration often find it challenging to cope with situations that don't align with their expectations or desires. They may struggle to regulate their emotions effectively, leading to outbursts of anger, defiance, or irritability.ODD becomes apparent when a kid consistently exhibits anger and hostility, especially in response to simple requests from authority figures. In many cases, these oppositional behaviors serve as a coping mechanism for children who lack the necessary emotional regulation skills. When they encounter situations that trigger frustration or discomfort, their immediate response may be to assert control or push back, often manifesting as defiance or noncompliance.It's important to recognize that ODD is a genuine clinical disorder, and from my perspective, it's associated with broader clinical issues such as mood disorders like depression or bipolar disorder which can significantly impact a child's emotional regulation, resilience, and overall outlook on life. In my work, I've encountered children with ODD and observed that their behavior isn't simply a result of a different brain profile; there's often more to it. Sometimes, this behavior stems from early stages of life, and I've found a consistent pattern in their behavior since infancy. However, it's also important to acknowledge cases where children develop ODD following a traumatic event or other circumstances.In addressing oppositional behavior, the first step is maintaining a calm demeanor for a harmonious family environment. Regulating oneself and sharing a sense of tranquility can be incredibly impactful, especially when dealing with highly sensitive individuals who might have rejection sensitivity dysphoria, a common occurrence in children with ADHD. That is why I emphasize the importance of nurturing one's nervous system through various methods like PEMF, neurofeedback, magnesium supplementation, breathwork, and more. The good news is that we have a multi-magnesium brain formula – our Neurotastic line – which contains highly bioavailable magnesium crucial for mental health and is available on our website.Another essential aspect is setting clear boundaries and expectations. Blurred lines often cause conflicts in parent-child relationships. As such, providing clear guidelines empowers children to understand limits and fosters healthy interactions. Thus, effective parenting involves not only regulating emotions but also establishing clear boundaries to nurture positive behaviors.Managing...
