Using the Bodies of the Dead

Legal, Ethical and Organisational Dimensions of Organ Transplantation

By: Nora Machado

First published in 1998, this unique, timely book applies sociological concepts and analysis to the study of organ transplantation and related medical phenomena. It provides comparisons between differing transplantation systems and examines the ethical issues of organ transplantation, organ donation and recipient selection. The author presents rich empirical materials and fertile theory with which to better understand a number of the current problems and developments related to organ transplantation and other high-tech medical developments. It also addresses important ethical issues. Dr. Nora Machado develops and applies an impressive range of new concepts and models in analyzing organ transplantation systems: the dissonance that appears to be endemic to these systems; the particular functions of a number of hospital roles, rituals, and discourses tin dealing with such dissonance and related conflict; the legal and normative regulation of body part extraction and allocation in large-scale systems; the cognitive and moral dilemmas which physicians, nurses and next-of-kin face in the use of the bodies of the dead. Much of Dr. Machado’s theoretical work is of a highly general value and should be of considerable interest even to those not engaged in issues of organ transplantation or bio-medical developments.

Being in Common

Nation, Subject, and Community in Latin American Literature and Culture

By: Silvia Nora Rosman

Rosman persuasively demonstrates how they explore ways of being in common - the communal relation - when the notion of a common being - a totalized conception of community - is shown to be untenable. In doing so she incorporates and looks beyond her predecessors theoretical resources to urgent contemporary preoccupations with how to imagine identity in a "post-national" moment."--Jacket.

Medieval Frontiers: Concepts and Practices

Medieval Frontiers: Concepts and Practices

By: David Abulafia,Nora Berend

In recent years, the 'medieval frontier' has been the subject of extensive research. But the term has been understood in many different ways: political boundaries; fuzzy lines across which trade, religions and ideas cross; attitudes to other peoples and their customs. This book draws attention to the differences between the medieval and modern understanding of frontiers, questioning the traditional use of the concepts of 'frontier' and 'frontier society'. It contributes to the understanding of physical boundaries as well as metaphorical and ideological frontiers, thus providing a background to present-day issues of political and cultural delimitation. In a major introduction, David Abulafia analyses these various ambiguous meanings of the term 'frontier', in political, cultural and religious settings. The articles that follow span Europe from the Baltic to Iberia, from the Canary Islands to central Europe, Byzantium and the Crusader states. The authors ask what was perceived as a frontier during the Middle Ages? What was not seen as a frontier, despite the usage in modern scholarship? The articles focus on a number of themes to elucidate these two main questions. One is medieval ideology. This includes the analysis of medieval formulations of what frontiers should be and how rulers had a duty to defend and/or extend the frontiers; how frontiers were defined (often in a different way in rhetorical-ideological formulations than in practice); and how in certain areas frontier ideologies were created. The other main topic is the emergence of frontiers, how medieval people created frontiers to delimit areas, how they understood and described frontiers. The third theme is that of encounters, and a questioning of medieval attitudes to such encounters. To what extent did medieval observers see a frontier between themselves and other groups, and how does real interaction compare with ideological or narrative formulations of such interaction?

Amanda

By: Nora Roberts

De Calhoun Saga De Towers, het grote oude familiehuis met de prachtige tuin waarin je zo heerlijk kunt dwalen, is al generaties lang het hart van de familie Calhoun. Voor de kordate Catherine - in de wandeling C.C. genoemd - die zeer tegen de zin van hun tante Coco een garage runt. Voor de koppige, praktische Amanda, die voor alles wel een lijstje heeft. Voor Lilah, de dromer, gevoelig voor stemmingen en intuïtief. En voor Suzanna, de oudste van de vier, die er met haar twee kinderen woont. Geen van hen zou er ook maar aan denken om afstand te doen van het huis, ook al moet er nog zoveel aan gebeuren en hebben ze daar het geld helemaal niet voor. Alleen tante Coco denkt er anders over, en dat zorgt voor de nodige problemen. Te beginnen met de komst van een zekere Trenton St. James III, die zijn zinnen op de Towers heeft gezet... Deel 2 Al de hele dag rent Amanda Calhoun van hot naar her om een waslijst van klusjes af te werken. Helaas zit alles tegen, en dat terwijl ze nog een heleboel moet organiseren voor de bruiloft van haar zus Catherine. In gedachten al druk met de volgende taak, loopt ze een boetiek uit en botst tegen een grote man op. Al haar aankopen belanden op de grond. Gehurkt grist ze haar spullen bij elkaar, kordaat zijn hulp afslaand en een gesprekje in de kiem smorend. Wanneer ze opkijkt en haar blik van zijn cowboylaarzen naar zijn twinkelende ogen glijdt, gebeurt er iets wonderlijks: haar hart begint razendsnel te slaan. Snel maakt ze zich uit de voeten, alweer op weg naar het volgende karwei. Tot haar grote verbazing staat hij nog geen uur later bij haar op de stoep, met dezelfde uitdagende grijns op zijn - hinderlijk knappe - gezicht... Dit verhaal is ook verkrijgbaar in een e-bundel met de complete miniserie.

Comme une ombre dans la nuit

By: Nora Roberts

Hymne aux liens indissolubles de l'amitié et au pouvoir rédempteur de l'amour, Comme une ombre dans la nuit témoigne de l'une des plus belles réussites romanesques de Nora Roberts, star incontestée de la littérature féminine. Sous son apparence fragile et réservée, Tory Bodeen cache une forte personnalité, tôt endurcie par une enfance martyre, que domine le souvenir d'une vision insoutenable : le corps violenté de son amie Hope, huit ans, gisant dans le marais... A vingt-six ans, et après des années d'exil, Tory est toujours hantée par ce crime impuni. Décidée à exorciser les douleurs du passé, elle se réinstalle à Progress, sa ville natale, en Caroline du Sud. La jeune femme renoue avec d'anciennes connaissances, dont Cade, le séduisant frère aîné de son amie défunte, héritier du domaine familial. Rapidement, il lui témoigne un empressement qui n'est pas du goût de tout le monde... Mais qu'importe la méfiance, voire l'hostilité de la petite communauté, quand se profile l'ombre d'une terrifiante menace. Se pourrait-il que le meurtrier de Hope rôde encore, en quête d'une nouvelle proie ? S'il existe une chance que justice soit enfin rendue à son amie, Tory est prête à aller jusqu'au bout du cauchemar...
