        Politicising and gendering care for older people

        Multidisciplinary perspectives from Europe

        by Anca Dohotariu, Ana Paula Gil, Lubica Volanská

        This book offers a new critical framework for understanding the processes of politicising and gendering care for older people and their manifestations in several European contexts. It interrogates how care for older adults varies across time and place while searching for an in-depth comprehension of how it becomes an arena of political struggle and the object of public policy in different countries and at various societal and political levels. It brings together multidisciplinary contributions that examine the issue of care for older people as a political concern from many angles, such as problematising care needs, long-term care policies, home care services, institutional services and family care. The contributions reveal the diversity of situations in which the processes of politicising and gendering care for older adults overlap, contradict or reinforce each other while leading to increased gender (in)equalities on different levels.

        Colouring the Caribbean

        Race and the art of Agostino Brunias

        by Mia L. Bagneris

        Colouring the Caribbean offers the first comprehensive study of Agostino Brunias's intriguing pictures of colonial West Indians of colour - so called 'Red' and 'Black' Caribs, dark-skinned Africans and Afro-Creoles, and people of mixed race - made for colonial officials and plantocratic elites during the late-eighteenth century. Although Brunias's paintings have often been understood as straightforward documents of visual ethnography that functioned as field guides for reading race, this book investigates how the images both reflected and refracted ideas about race commonly held by eighteenth-century Britons, helping to construct racial categories while simultaneously exposing their constructedness and underscoring their contradictions. The book offers provocative new insights about Brunias's work gleaned from a broad survey of his paintings, many of which are reproduced here for the first time.

        Synaesthesia: Living with Connected Senses

        by Udo Schneider, Markus Zedler, Hinderk Emrich

        Blue wine or colour-matched letters, compass points seen in colour, or listening to music that is also an experience of forms and structures. Anyone with these kind of perceptions lives among the synaesthetes. This phenomenon was long overlooked by science. Nowadays, things are different. This book presents not only modern neuroscience’s standpoint on the puzzle of synaesthesia; it also ventures into philosophical peripheral areas. What does life look like for a synaesthete, and how does our perception work anyway?

        European Empires and the People

        Popular responses to imperialism in France, Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Italy

        by John M. MacKenzie

        This is the first book to survey in comparative form the transmission of imperial ideas to the public in six European countries in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The chapters, focusing on France, Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Italy, provide parallel studies of the manner in which colonial ambitions and events in the respective European empires were given wider popular visibility. The international group of contributors, who are all scholars working at the cutting edge of these fields, place their work in the context of governmental policies, the economic bases of imperial expansion, major events such as wars of conquest, the emergence of myths of heroic action in exotic contexts, religious and missionary impulses, as well as the new media which facilitated such popular dissemination. Among these media were the press, international exhibitions, popular literature, educational institutions and methods, ceremonies, church sermons and lectures, monuments, paintings and much else.

        Caring for People with Paraplegia

        Assessment, Problems, Interventions and Evaluation

        by Ute Haas

        Paraplegia generally means a sudden, although sometimes gradual, change in the lives of those affected and their relatives, which challenges all previous behavior patterns and life activities. Caring for and looking after people with this condition is very challenging and demands thorough knowledge and special skills on the part of caregivers as well as close interdisciplinary cooperation.  The second edition has been updated and expanded in light of new scientific and practice-related findings concerning respiratory and excretion problems, including surgical procedures on the intestines, pressure sores and pain, as well as body image. The theoretical frame of reference for the care process in the form of Gordon’s functional health patterns is explained and illustrated in a new chapter for all process elements.
