Doulas in Italy

The Emergence of a 'New' Care Profession

By: Pamela Pasian

This book documents the emergence of doulas as care professionals in Italy, considers their training, practices, and representation, and analyses their role in national and international context. Doulas offer emotional, informational and practical support to women and their families during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. Pamela Pasian explores the development of this ‘new’ profession and how doulas are defining their space in the Italian maternity care system. Whilst doulas are gaining recognition they are also facing opposition. The book reflects on the conflicts and collaborations between doulas and midwives, as well as relations between different doula associations. Interweaving ethnography and autoethnography, it will be of interest to anthropologists, sociologists and those working in health and maternity care.

Openness, Secrecy, Authorship

Technical Arts and the Culture of Knowledge from Antiquity to the Renaissance

By: Pamela O. Long

A history of the book and intellectual property that includes military technology and military secrets. Winner of The Morris D. Forkosch Prize from the Journal of the History of Ideas In today's world of intellectual property disputes, industrial espionage, and book signings by famous authors, one easily loses sight of the historical nature of the attribution and ownership of texts. In Openness, Secrecy, Authorship: Technical Arts and the Culture of Knowledge from Antiquity to the Renaissance, Pamela Long combines intellectual history with the history of science and technology to explore the culture of authorship. Using classical Greek as well as medieval and Renaissance European examples, Long traces the definitions, limitations, and traditions of intellectual and scientific creation and attribution. She examines these attitudes as they pertain to the technical and the practical. Although Long's study follows a chronological development, this is not merely a general work. Long is able to examine events and sources within their historical context and locale. By looking at Aristotelian ideas of Praxis, Techne, and Episteme. She explains the tension between craft and ideas, authors and producers. She discusses, with solid research and clear prose, the rise, wane, and resurgence of priority in the crediting and lionizing of authors. Long illuminates the creation and re-creation of ideas like "trade secrets," "plagiarism," "mechanical arts," and "scribal culture." Her historical study complicates prevailing assumptions while inviting a closer look at issues that define so much of our society and thought to this day. She argues that "a useful working definition of authorship permits a gradation of meaning between the poles of authority and originality," and guides us through the term's nuances with clarity rarely matched in a historical study.

Love, Pamela

By: Pamela Anderson

Loin de son image de pin-up, Pamela raconte son histoire, celle d’un esprit libre qui rentre à la maison et se redécouvre à chaque tournant. Avec une prose vivante entrecoupée de poèmes, Pamela se confie sur les moments les plus extraordinaires et aussi les plus éprouvants de son incroyable histoire. Pamela Anderson, la naïade de la série TV Alerte à Malibu, était omniprésente dans les années 1990. Originaire de Vancouver, au Canada, Pamela a vécu une enfance difficile, durant laquelle elle a développé son amour profond pour la nature, peuplant son monde des animaux blessés du coin. En surmontant sa timidité naturelle et grâce à une imagination débordante, Pamela s’est finalement propulsée dans une vie de rêve, des plages de Malibu à la scène du Playboy Mansion. Au fur et à mesure que sa célébrité grandissait, elle s’est retrouvée dans les pages des tabloïds, à l’apogée d’une époque où les tactiques des paparazzi s’apparentaient à une véritable traque. « J’ai tendance à voir des diamants dans les morceaux de charbon de l’or dans le nickel. Je suis une alchimiste à attirer ces personnages fantastiques qui me détruisent systématiquement. »
