MedicineApril 2018Bovine Tuberculosis
by Mark Chambers, Stephen Gordon, Francisco Olea-Popelka, Paul Barrow
This book is contemporary, topical and global in its approach, and provides an essential, comprehensive treatise on bovine tuberculosis and the bacterium that causes it, Mycobacterium bovis. Bovine tuberculosis remains a major cause of economic loss in cattle industries worldwide, exacerbated in some countries by the presence of a substantial wildlife reservoir. It is a major zoonosis, causing human infection through consumption of unpasteurised milk or by close contact with infected animals. Following a systematic approach, expert international authors cover epidemiology and the global situation; microbial virulence and pathogenesis; host responses to the pathogen; and diagnosis and control of the disease. Aimed at researchers and practising veterinarians, this book is essential for those needing comprehensive information on the pathogen and disease, and offers a summary of key information learned from human tuberculosis research. It will be useful to those studying the infection and for those responsible for controlling the disease.

May 2004Spectaculum 75
Sechs moderne Theaterstücke
by Antonin Artaud, Jörg Graser, Kai Hensel, Fritz Kater, Simona Sabato, Peter Turrini
Jahrelang hat die Annahme gegolten, das moderne Drama habe keine Leser. Spectaculum I und II haben diese Annahme widerlegt; die beiden Bände haben ein Aufsehen erregt, das weit über den Kreis der Fachkundigen hinausging; über hunderttausend Bände fanden ihre Käufer. Die Welt, in der wir leben, im Dialog vorzustellen, Texte zu bringen, in denen der Puls unserer und vielleicht einer kommenden Zeit schlägt, und dem modernen Theater als einer Institution zu dienen, in der menschliche Freiheit sich heute wie nirgends sonst unmittelbar ausdrückt - dies war unsere Absicht. Ihr ist begeistert zugestimmt worden: »Die gegenwärtige Lage des deutschsprachigen Theaters ist nicht allzu ermutigend. Wer für das moderne Theater ist, der wird den Wunsch hegen, daß der Suhrkamp Verlag diese dankenswerte Bemühung für das moderne Drama fortsetzt.« Österreichischer Rundfunk. - »In einer Zeit, in der die epische Literatur unseren Büchermarkt mit Romanen überschwemmt, daß die Tatsache der ›Neuerscheinung‹ oft wichtiger geworden ist als die Bedeutung einer Veröffentlichung, wird die Dramensammlung des Suhrkamp Verlages Ereignis. Sie geht den umgekehrten Weg: aus der Flut der Uraufführungen, die oft genug um der Uraufführung willen vonstatten gehen, Wesentliches zu retten. Wir bedürfen der Sicherung dieses Schaffens durch Publikation um so mehr, als wir Klarheit über die Situation unseres Theaters gewinnen müssen, in dem zuweilen die Regieleistung mehr beachtet wird als die Dichtung. Das Spectaculum möge auch mit diesem zweiten Bande nicht abgeschlossen werden.« Darmstädter Tagblatt. Wenn wir uns jetzt entschließen, das Unternehmen Spectaculum zu einer ständigen Einrichtung - wenigstens für die kommenden fünf Jahre - werden zu lassen, geschieht dies aus der Überlegung, daß modernes Theater nicht möglich ist ohne die Kenntnis des modernen Theaters. Das moderne Drama wendet sich an den Zuschauer und an den Leser, bei vielen modernen Stücken wird die vom Autor angestrebte Wirkung sich erst auf

May 2017Transsexualität im Spannungsfeld von Gefühl, Körper, Arbeit und Macht
Eine soziologische Fallstudie
by Rodat, Simona
Simona Rodat investigates social practice of „doing transgender“ within work and power relations. She not only examines the influence of transsexuality on professional careers and power positions in the narrower sense, but also examines how transsexuality is processed at the level of social action and interaction, identity and the body, including the emotional level (gender display). The author proceeds in two steps: In the first part, a theoretical framework is developed that includes aspects of power and action theory, but also dimensions of the cultural coding of gender as well as a consideration of transsexuality as a gender process. In a second step, she presents her empirical study in which she identifies specific constellations that do not or do not easily correspond to previous sociological studies. Her innovative approach is illustrated by methodological 'triangulation' and underpinned by the evaluation of the data. *** Simona Rodat untersucht die soziale Praxis der Geschlechtsangleichung (doing transgender) innerhalb von Arbeits- und Machtbeziehungen. Sie widmet sich nicht nur dem Einfluss von Transsexualität auf berufliche Karrieren und Machtpositionen im engeren Sinne, sondern untersucht auch, wie Transsexualität auf der Ebene sozialen Handelns und der Interaktion, der Identität und des Körpers inklusive der emotionalen Ebene verarbeitet wird (gender display). Dabei geht die Autorin in zwei Schritten vor: Im ersten Teil wird ein theoretisches Grundgerüst erarbeitet, das macht- und handlungstheoretische Aspekte, aber auch Dimensionen der kulturellen Codierung von Geschlecht sowie eine Betrachtung der Transsexualität als Geschlechterprozess umfasst. Im zweiten Schritt stellt sie ihre empirische Untersuchung vor, in der sie spezifische Konstellationen identifiziert, die nicht oder nicht ohne weiteres den bisherigen soziologischen Studien entsprechen. Ihr innovativer Ansatz wird durch die methodologische 'Triangulation' deutlich gemacht und durch die Auswertung der Daten untermauert.

FictionL'inganno della solitudine
by Simona Marocco
Tommaso works in a call center and lives the monotony of his everyday life. Rossana is a teacher and has recently lost her controversial love. Valeria is a teenager who had to face the illness of a distracted mother, together with her father, Daniele, who had to carry the weight of responsibilities on his shoulders, annihilating himself. Simona Marocco’s “L’Inganno della Solitudine” (The Deception of Loneliness) highlights the fragility of the human soul, which can be conditioned and malleable, and the author has been able to intertwine the stories of four characters who would have probably remained lost alone in their dark journey of solitude. --- Tommaso lavora in un call center e vive la monotonia della quotidianità. Rossana fa l’insegnante e ha perso da poco il suo controverso amore. Valeria è un’adolescente che ha dovuto sopportare la malattia di una madre distratta, insieme a suo padre Daniele che si è dovuto caricare sulle spalle il peso delle responsabilità, annientandosi.La vita a volte ci pone davanti a situazioni più grandi di noi. E quando accade, non sempre si ha la forza di affrontare un oggi che può sembrare insormontabile.Eppure le risorse degli esseri umani possono stupire al punto da far superare ciò che, al momento, appare insormontabile.Questa capacità può essere interna come provenire da qualcuno in grado di dirci la cosa giusta al momento giusto; talvolta si palesa un’opportunità che mai avremmo immaginato potesse presentarsi.L’inganno della solitudine evidenzia la fragilità dell’animo umano, condizionabile quanto malleabile, e Simona Marocco è riuscita a intrecciare le vicende di quattro personaggi che probabilmente da soli si sarebbero persi nell’oscuro viaggio della solitudine, ognuno trasportando sulle spalle il peso della propria esistenza, come farebbe un Atlante della sofferenza. Ma si sa: c’è sempre speranza…All'interno, prefazione del dottor Mirko La Bella, psicologo, psicoterapeuta e docente all'Università di Torino.

Sguardi sulla figura di san Giuseppe
by Antonio Autiero, Marinella Perroni
Joseph occupies a marginal place inside the theological discourse, unlike Mary. Yet, he also reflects important issues of our time, linked to the debate on identity, relationships and functions of being in the world as men and women, and in terms of living in a church made up of men and women. Freed from hagiographic stereotypes and strictly apologetic purposes, Joseph becomes the emblem of a masculinity that is now more than ever in question: what does it mean for a male to feel himself as a subject, as a person? What does it mean to share a journey of substantial relationships and to generate life together? What does it mean to take care of the world, in the plurality of its possible expressions (politics, profession, civil commitment)? This book starts an original path, expression of the fruitful intertwining that theology intends to establish with other cultural approaches. It discloses a set of “looks” – historical, biblical, sociological, theological, pastoral ... – aimed at Saint Joseph, a figure of a masculinity that questions us. Moreover, it proposes an ideal dialogue between scholars who have accepted Pope’s invitation: Ite ad Ioseph, «Go to Joseph». Their answers can be surprising. CONTRIBUTORS: Daniele Bouchard, Arianna De Simone, Elizabeth E. Green, Andrea Grillo, Adreas Heek, Michela Murgia, Paolo Naso, Cristina Oddone, Giusi Quarenghi, Simona Segoloni Ruta, Silvia Zanconato.
