réf. 61446London: John and Josiah Boydell 1798. 1803. Original copper engraving 44 x 60 cm overall sheet 54 x 66 cm. Light scattered foxing to lower margin not affecting plate. From "A Collection of Prints. Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakespeare." published by Boydell London 1803. In 1789 the publisher John Boydell opened the Shakespeare Gallery an exhibition space in London's Pall Mall showcasing paintings that exclusively represented scenes from Shakespeare's plays. The Gallery was a bid to revive 'history painting' the practice of depicting scenes from the Bible mythology or the classics in contemporary British art a genre thought to be of great public benefit because of its morally instructive messages. What better unifying theme for such a project than the works of Shakespeare which had become so popular and so integral to British identity by the mid-18th century The Gallery opened in May 1789 with 34 canvases by 18 British artists. By the next year there were 55 paintings and in 1796 the total was 84 along with dozens of 'Small Pictures'. Once the exhibition was mounted reproductive engravings of the paintings produced by an in-house team of 46 printmakers were available to purchase either as a large portfolio of 90 prints or as a luxurious illustrated edition of the plays.

réf. B9783031406652Paperback / softback. New. This book presents important concepts from medical and socio-cultural anthropology to health professionals working with organ transplantation involving indigenous populations. Written by an anthropologist and a nephrologist working at the Brazilian Amazon region it presents an interdisciplinary approach merging perspectives from medical and socio-cultural anthropology social epidemiology and clinical medicine to blend philosophical concerns around tissue and organ exchange with transplant-related initiatives in order to help health professionals develop care protocols that take into account the specific cultures of indigenous populations. The approach proposed in this book is based on the assumption that there are other concepts of bodies personhood health sickness and collectivity implicated in processes of organ transplantation and health care in general that must be taken into consideration beyond strictly biomedical perspectives. Such cultural aspects also imply challenges in terms of bioethics and legislation given the need to respect indigenous cultures. So in order to offer health professionals practical insights the book presents a review of the literature available about experiences of organ transplantation in ethnically diverse countries and how the professionals involved have addressed this diversity respecting these groups from a cultural ethical and epidemiological point of view. Organ Transplantation and Native Peoples: An Interdisciplinary Approach is primarily aimed at being a practical tool for health professionals working with indigenous populations but will also be of interest to researchers in different fields of the social and health sciences such as medical anthropology public health nursing bioethics and epidemiology. paperback

réf. B9781509554379Hardback. New. In the 1970s the economic and social foundations of Western Europe underwent an unprecedented transformation. Old industries like coal and steel disappeared millions of people lost their jobs and formerly flourishing towns and cities went into decline. Traditional political agendas gave way to new social problems and concerns. What happened to industrial citizens – their workplaces their careers and their homes How did social rights and political participation of workers change when markets became global management lean and financial capital dominant What ideas and ideologies framed these dramatic changes in society How did companies change and how were personal skills and work tasks were re-invented under the impact of new technologies How did workers – men and women – live through these decades of uncertainty and upheaval Lutz Raphael reconstructs the highly variegated story of deindustrialisation in Western Europe with a particular focus on Britain France and West Germany. Extending over three decades this transformation was accompanied by significant rises in productivity and consumerism but it also came at a heavy cost ushering in many low income jobs growing inequality and a crisis of democratic representation. Its legacy is everywhere around us today – it is the transformation that has shaped our world. hardcover
