Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of transnational lives has only recently gained importance in historical research. With its transnational approach to “mobility and biography,” this volume brings together research on aspects of mobility and biography across different times and spaces to open up new interdisciplinary perspectives. Networks, movements and the capacity to become socially or spatially mobile in and across Europe are not only analysed as structural factors, but rather seen as connected to concrete practices of mobility among different groups in the spheres of business, politics and the arts: from Jewish merchants via legal and financial advisors all the way to musicians.

Book Extending the Boundaries of Care

Download or read book Extending the Boundaries of Care written by Tamara Kohn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is the concept of patient care adapting in response to rapid changes in healthcare delivery and advances in medical technology? How are questions of ethical responsibility and social diversity shaping the definitions of healthcare?In this topical study, scholars in anthropology, nursing theory, law and ethics explore questions involving the changing relationship between patient care and medical ethics. Contributors address issues that challenge the boundaries of patient care, such as: - HIV-related care and research- the impact of new reproductive technologies- preventative healthcare- technological breakthroughs that are changing personal-caring relationships.Chapters range from a consideration of the practicalities of nursing and family healthcare to a debate about ‘universal human needs' and patients' rights.This book is a provocative exploration of the ways in which healthcare models are socially constructed. It will be of interest to policy-makers, medical practitioners and administrators, as well as students of sociology, anthropology and social policy.

Book Jorwerd

    Book Details:
  • Author : Geert Mak
  • Publisher : Harvill Secker
  • Release : 2000
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 298 pages

Download or read book Jorwerd written by Geert Mak and published by Harvill Secker. This book was released on 2000 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jorwerd is a small village in Friesland in the Netherlands. Geert Mak was born in Friesland and he returned to his roots to explore the 'silent revolution' that has taken place in Jorwerd and other villages like it in the years since the Second World War. The village is a form of social organisation that has lasted at least 2000 years yet it has started, slowly but inexorably, to disappear. Recent studies have shown that, by the year 2025, two thirds of the world's population will live in cities and towns. Geert Mak lived in Jorwerd for six months, gathering the personal histories of Jorwerters past and present. By interweaving their lives with the wider history of Europe, Mak provides an unsentimental portrait of the pleasures and hardships of living in the country, while also making plain how rural life everywhere is under threat from the modern world.

  • ISBN : 1315469561
  • Pages : 239 pages

Download or read book The Biographical Turn written by Hans Renders and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Biographical Turn showcases the latest research through which the field of biography is being explored. Fifteen leading scholars in the field present the biographical perspective as a scholarly research methodology, investigating the consequences of this bottom-up approach and illuminating its value for different disciplines. While biography has been on the rise in academia since the 1980s, this volume highlights the theoretical implications of the biographical turn that is changing the humanities. Chapters cover subjects such as gender, religion, race, new media and microhistory, presenting biography as as a research methodology suited not only for historians but also for explorations in areas including literature studies, sociology, economics and politics. By emphasizing agency, the use of primary sources and the critical analysis of context and historiography, this book demonstrates how biography can function as a scholarly methodology for a wide range of topics and fields of research. International in scope, The Biographical Turn emphasizes that the individual can have a lasting impact on the past and that lives that are now forgotten can be as important for the historical narrative as the biographies of kings and presidents. It is a valuable resource for all students of biography, history and historical theory.
