The ArtsFebruary 2022"I am Jugoslovenka!"
Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism
by Jasmina Tumbas, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon
"I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.

Robust health care systems are paramount for the health, security, and prosperity of people and countries as a whole. This book provides for the first time a chronicle of the struggle for, and eventual success of, universal health coverage (UHC) in Tanzania. Beginning with an introduction to primary health care in the country, from its historical foundations to the major milestones of implementation, this book then considers stewardship of this important aspect of health systems over time. Written in a way to allow the application of lessons learned to other countries' contexts, this book covers: - Policy and governance issues such as leadership, human resources, and financing of health systems; - Practical aspects of health system delivery, including supply chains, community care, new technologies, and the integration of services for particular population groups; - The impact and mitigation of global events on health systems, such as resilience and preparedness in the light of disease outbreaks or climate change, and social, commercial, and political influences. Concluding with a look to the future, forecasting the changes and new solutions needed to adapt to a changing world, this book is a valuable reference for policy makers, global health practitioners, health system managers, researchers, students, and all those with an interest in primary health care and reforms - both in Tanzania and beyond.

May 2009Biokapitalismus
Werte im postgenomischen Zeitalter
by Kaushik Sunder Rajan, Ilse Utz
Als die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung im Juni 2000 sechs Seiten mit den Buchstaben A, C, G und T füllte, war klar: Bei der Entschlüsselung des Humangenoms handelt es sich um eine wissenschaftliche Sensation. Daß sich das öffentliche Humangenomprojekt und Craig Venters Firma Celera Genomics zuvor ein Wettrennen geliefert hatten, zeigt ihr ökonomische Potential: Informationen über den Bauplan des menschlichen Lebens verwandeln sich in Waren – in Biokapital. Damit beginnt, so die These Sunder Rajans, eine neue Phase des Kapitalismus. Über mehrere Jahre hinweg begleitete der Ethnologe die Protagonisten dieser Revolution in ihre Labore und zu Kongressen in Indien und den USA. Ausgehend von diesen Reportagen, formuliert er ethische Fragen, die er anhand der Ansätze von Ulrich Beck, Michel Foucault, Karl Marx und Slavoj Žižek erörtert: Mit welchen rhetorischen Strategien trennen vife Wissenschaftler Investoren von ihrem Geld? Und: Wie verändert sich unser Menschenbild, wenn DNA-Chips zur Erbgutanalyse uns alle zu Patienten im Wartestand machen?

Un oso en la cama y un chacal en el horno
by Avinoam Lourie y Cissy Shapiro
Un oso en la cama y un chacal en el horno Divertidas aventuras de un zoólogo israelí especializado en la fauna silvestre Avinoam Lourie y Cissy Shapiro ?Cuántos pueden decir que han tenido un oso en la cama, que calentaron un chacal en el horno, que fueron corneados por un corzo celoso o atacados por un tigre, que han tenido monos colgados de la araña, o que han perdido una víbora en un avión? Las vivencias reconfortantes, divertidas y educativas del zoólogo israelí Avinoam Lourie con una exótica variedad de animales salvajes y también con los miembros de su familia, contadas con la calidez, el humor, el ingenio y la sabiduría que bien conocen sus asiduos lectores. Avinoam Lourie ha recibido la Medalla de Honor del Presidente de Israel, ha sido seleccionado como una de las "100 personas más importantes" de Haifa, y ha ayudado a traer a Israel varias especies en peligro de extinción. "Como alguien que ha acompañado a Avi en el terreno, mientras enseñaba a nuevas generaciones de israelíes acerca de sus ecosistemas nativos, es una alegría compartir el dramatismo, el humor y las ideas que esta fascinante colección contiene", señala Sneed Collard III, autor y editor, que ha recibido el premio del Washington Post y del Children's Book Guild a obras de noficción. "Muchos de nuestros amigos tenían perros, gatos y otras mascotas, ?pero nadie tenía un padre que trajera a casa un tigre, un oso o incluso un mono, como nosotros!", dice Dr. Barak Lourie (el hijo intermedio de Avinoam), Haifa, Israel. “Él me enseñó que los animales son como la gente: trátalos de la misma manera y bien". Resumen del estudiante de una comunicación de Avinoam a la escuela secundaria media de octavo grado de Conservación de la naturaleza y ecología de Green Bay, Wisconsin, Estados Unidos.

The ArtsNovember 2011Real and Reel
The education of a film critic
by Brian McFarlane
From a little before ten years of age Brian McFarlane became addicted to stories told on the screen, and the mere fact that he had difficulty in getting to see the films he wanted - or any for that matter - only made them seem more alluring. But it wasn't just seeing the films that mattered: he also wanted, and quite soon needed, to be writing about them and these obsessions have been part of his life for the next sixty-odd years. Real and reel is a light-hearted and but deeply felt account of a lifetime's addiction. It is one particular writer and critic's story, but it will strike sparks among many others. Though many other interests have kept Brian McFarlane's life lively, nothing else has exerted such a long-standing grip on the author's imagination as film. Editor of the Encyclopaedia of British Cinema, co-editor of Manchester University Press's British Film Makers series, and author of over a dozen critical works on film and adaptation, Brian McFarlane's autobiographical Real and reel can also be read as a biography of the subject of Film Studies itself. ;

It’s a family drama with an international feel - set mainly in England but with episodes in Washington DC and around the world.
