This study deals with the filmic self-representation of Native Americans. It focuses on five contemporary features directed by indigenes, and it deconstructs the ways in which they respond to the legacy of the Hollywood Indian. By telling their own cinematic stories, Native Americans have taken up the battle against the century-old one-dimensional characterizations of America's original peoples in the mainstream culture. These indigenous filmmakers highlight the variety and complexity of modern Native America. (Series: MasteRResearch - Vol. 1)
Wie erlebt der Tod das Leben? Dieses Buch stellt das Tagebuch des Todes dar, der die gesellschaftlichen und politischen Ereignisse des Jahres 2023 erzählt. Es ist eine Geschichte über Hybris, über das Wesen der Menschheit, über die Fragilität von Demokratien und die Gefahr des Demagogen. Über das Phänomen der Religion, die Neigung der Menschen zu Psychpomps, über die Ambiguität und Evolution der Menschen. Über technische Entwicklungen, gute und böse Seiten und darüber, warum sich die Geschichte wiederholt. Und mittendrin: ein Erzähler, der die Geschichte der Menschheit wie kein zweiter kennt. Ein Tod, der alle Aspekte des menschlichen Lebens sieht. Ein Tod, der an den Menschen verzweifelt und sich an Lichtblicke wie den Weihnachtsfrieden von 1914 klammert. Ein allwissender Erzähler der sich ohnmächtig fühlt. Ein Erzähler, der verzweifelt nach der Menschlichkeit unter den Menschen sucht.
This title was first published in 2002: This volume discusses the subject of biomedical ethics. Various views, historical and contemporary, are discussed, with the editors using the contrasting concepts in the shift from paternalism to autonomy in 20th-century medicine as a heuristic tool for the critical study of ethics in medicine.As far as the evidence in this volume goes, paternalistic medical practices and patient autonomy had an uneasy relationship by the beginning of the 20th century. A hundred years later, full autonomy in decisions on medical treatment is still subject to numerous caveats. The text pays close attention to the interplay between various players, noting how factors such as social contexts, governmental organizations and the biotechnological industry influence and shape responses to the principle of bioethics.
