Download or read book Histoires d IVG Histoires de femmes written by Israël Nisand and published by Vuibert. This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Écouter l'histoire singulière des femmes en demande d'IVG pour mieux les accompagner L'interruption volontaire de grossesse (IVG), légalisée en France en 1975, reste un droit à défendre parce qu'elle permet aux femmes de choisir et d'avorter de façon sécurisée. L'IVG est vécue différemment selon les femmes et peut représenter pour beaucoup un événement douloureux. C'est pourquoi l'IVG ne doit pas se réduire à un acte médical et doit être accompagnée par la parole : elle peut alors devenir un événement constructif dans la vie d'une femme. C'est ce que six professionnelles de santé - gynécologues, psychanalyste, psychologues et sage-femme - ont souhaité partager dans ce livre. Leur point de vue, forgé au cours de leurs années d'accompagnement pluridisciplinaire des femmes et renforcé dans leur groupe de parole, est développé à travers le récit de 23 cas cliniques. Adolescentes ou mères, seules ou en couple, les femmes, face au choix de l'IVG, se confrontent à leur histoire, à celle de leurs parents ou de leur couple, aux silences et aux violences qui parfois la traversent. En un mot, elles se confrontent à elles-mêmes. Chaque histoire est singulière : c'est ce qu'ont voulu montrer les auteurs en s'appuyant sur leur pratique clinique, leur expérience de l'écoute et de la prévention. Ces récits révèlent ce qui peut aider les femmes ayant vécu une IVG à sortir grandies grâce à la parole. Ce livre se veut un outil pour tous les professionnels, qu'ils soient médecins, sages-femmes, psychologues, infirmières, assistants sociaux, afin qu'ils soient sensibilisés et formés à la bienveillance, aux échanges de groupe et aux enseignements de la clinique de l'IVG sur la sexualité, la maternité, la contraception, la parentalité, la violence et la prévention. Il intéressera également toutes celles et ceux qui défendent les droits des femmes et notamment celui de choisir.

Download or read book Chryselephantine Statuary in the Ancient Mediterranean World written by Kenneth D. S. Lapatin and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composite statues of gold (chrysos), ivory (elephas), and other precious materials were the most celebrated artworks of classical antiquity. Greek and Latin authors leave no doubt that such images provided a centrepiece for religious and civic life and that vast sums were spent to producethem. A number of these statues were the creations of antiquity's most highly acclaimed artists: Polykleitos, Alkamenes, Leochares, and, of course, Pheidias, whose magnificent Zeus Olympios came to be ranked among the Seven Wonders of the World. Although a few individual images such as Pheidias'Athena Parthenos have been the subject of detailed scholarly analysis, chryselephantine statuary as a class, from the exquisite statuettes of Minoan Crete to the majestic temple images constructed by classical Greek city-states and imitated by the Romans, has not received comprehensive study since1815. This book presents not only the ancient literary and epigraphical evidence for lost statues and examines representations of them in other media, but also assembles and analyses much-neglected physical survivals, elucidating throughout the innovative techniques, such as ivory-bending, employedin their production as well as the variety of social, religious, and political roles they played within the ancient societies that produced them.

Download or read book Anti Gender Campaigns in Europe written by Roman Kuhar and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of steady progress in terms of gender and sexual rights, several parts of Europe are facing new waves of resistance to a so-called ‘gender ideology’ or ‘gender theory’. Opposition to progressive gender equality is manifested in challenges to marriage equality, abortion, reproductive technologies, gender mainstreaming, sex education, sexual liberalism, transgender rights, antidiscrimination policies and even to the notion of gender itself. This book examines how an academic concept of gender, when translated by religious organizations such as the Roman Catholic Church, can become a mobilizing tool for, and the target of, social movements. How can we explain religious discourses about sex difference turning intro massive street demonstrations? How do forms of organization and protest travel across borders? Who are the actors behind these movements? This collection is a transnational and comparative attempt to better understand anti-gender mobilizations in Europe. It focuses on national manifestations in eleven European countries, including Russia, from massive street protests to forms of resistance such as email bombarding and street vigils. It examines the intersection of religious politics with rising populism and nationalistic anxieties in contemporary Europe.

Download or read book The American Convention on Human Rights written by Ludovic Hennebel and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The American Convention on Human Rights, adopted within the framework of the Organization of American States, is the central and essential instrument of the inter-American human rights law as elaborated by the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights. This treaty, adopted on November 22, 1969, with now 23 States Parties, contains 82 articles that set out the rights and freedoms that States undertake to respect and protect, and establishes various protection mechanisms, including an individual complaints mechanism. This book offers a critical, systematic and exegetical commentary of the 82 Articles of this Convention, reflecting on the construction, often creative and avant-garde, of the inter-American human rights bodies. Doctrinal, critical and jurisprudential, this book is the fruit of reflections and research carried out by the two authors, and of a symbiotic writing. The American Convention on Human Rights is much more than just a treaty of international law. The Convention is a complex instrument, which was born in a particular context, and which reflects the inter-American human rights particularism. Of course, it is a political instrument, which was thought in the difficult context of the revolutionary fever of the late 1950s. But it is also, and above all, an instrument of progress and justice that is in line with the current of humanist thought of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the projects for the emancipation of the humankind. It is also a formidable legal instrument with exceptional normative power and potential. This treaty, as interpreted and applied by the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights, has become the founding norm of a creative, sophisticated and protective inter-American legal regime for the protection of human rights, thanks to audacious and intelligent hermeneutic work, led in particular by the Inter-American Court. The persuasive force of inter-American jurisprudence attests to its argumentative quality. This Inter-American human rights law, if it embodies the hope of access to justice for some, to truth for others, or to the protection of the most vulnerable, is also, for the internationalist lawyer, a paradigm of reference for what is and what must be public international law centered on humanist and progressive values"--
Download or read book Liberty and Nature written by Douglas B. Rasmussen and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristotle's way of thinking has normally been understood as hostile to any liberal, pluralistic, or commercial society. In Liberal Nature, Rasmussen and Den Uyl set out to show that the Aristotelian approach to ethics supports the natural rights which form the most secure basis for liberal principles. The authors lay the foundations for their thesis by rebutting the most prominent arguments against the Aristotelian approach; they then offer a new interpretation for Aristotelian ethics as a natural-end ethics in which human flourishing is the ultimate moral standard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les entretiens psychologiques auprès des femmes en demande d'IVG et la réflexion qu'ils ont suscitée fondent cet ouvrage. L'acte d'avorter n'est pas isolé dans la vie d'une femme, et bien souvent il signifie "quelque chose". L'opinion générale a toujours enfermé l'avortement, hier sous la réprobation, actuellement sous une certaine banalisation. Dans la configuration d'IVG, les mouvances relationnelles du présent rejoignent les défaillances ou les faillites des attaches du passé.
