Assistência ao idoso na rede de saúde na perspectiva da estratégia saúde da família: modelo teórico
Authors: Pimenta Sheron Hellen da Silva , Rodrigues Leiner Resende
Published: September 2022

Tem como objetivo desenvolver o modelo teórico de assistência ao idoso na RAS que tem orientado a Estratégia Saúde da Família. O estudo foi realizado na vertente qualitativa, adotando-se a Teoria Fundamentada em Dados (TFD) ou Grounded Theory (GT), de Strauss e Corbin, e como referencial teórico, o Interacionismo Simbólico (IS). Foi adotado como instrumento, a entrevista individual. Com o auxílio do software ATLAS/ti 7.0, a codificação aberta das 44 entrevistas dos profissionais levantou diferentes códigos que foram agrupados de acordo com sua similaridade, dando origem a 387 códigos preliminares, e categorizados em quinze subcategorias e cinco categorias. O modelo teórico apresentado neste estudo constitui-se da representação do fenômeno “Construindo a rede de cuidados aos idosos, sob a ótica da ESF.” Pode-se perceber com a construção do modelo teórico, que os profissionais da ESF não seguem a um protocolo de atendimento em rede, que esta encontra-se desfragmentada e desarticulada. Neste estudo, o desenvolvimento do modelo teórico poderá subsidiar a construção de um modelo de cuidado à pessoa idosa na RAS, que considere mais efetivamente a realidade dos serviços de saúde e que seja voltado para as demandas, necessidades e direitos da pessoa idosa em seu contexto de vida.

Entre poliamor e as famílias paralelas: um estudo crítico-comparativo das duas modalidades de arranjos familiares
Authors: Consalter Zilda Mara , Krinert Rafaella de França
Published: September 2022

Efetua uma análise descritivo-crítico-comparativa entre dois institutos do direito das famílias: o poliamor e as famílias paralelas. O objetivo geral da pesquisa consiste em identificar corretamente os dois institutos, diferenciando-os quanto aos seus traços individualizadores, quanto às suas principais características diferenciais e qual o tratamento jurídico conferido aos mesmos. Para tanto, o desenvolvimento do texto deu-se em respeito ao método dedutivo, tendo-se efetuado análise geral de ambas as espécies de arranjo familiar para, após, efetuar o refino individual dos mesmos, com a finalidade de encerrar a abordagem tratando da crítica ao atual estado da arte quanto à seara jurídica. A pesquisa, que é eminentemente teórica, apoiou-se em técnicas documentais indiretas, notadamente a doutrinária e a jurisprudencial, sem prejuízos de outras fontes que foram utilizadas de modo mais pontual. Como resultados, tem-se que é possível a total diferenciação conceitual dos dois institutos, no entanto, o tratamento jurídico dado aos mesmos tem um eixo semelhante, que é a tendência ao não reconhecimento – ou reconhecimento com ressalvas - como entidades familiares albergadas pela Constituição.

Introdução: A Enfermagem, maior categoria da área da saúde, composta por auxiliares, técnicos e enfermeiros. Historicamente, essa classe exerce suas atividades laborais enfrentando condições de trabalho precárias. A pandemia da Covid-19 exacerbou questões do processo de trabalho da enfermagem, ameaçando inclusive a sobrevivência desses profissionais. Objetivo: descrever o perfil dos profissionais de enfermagem que atuavam em unidades coorte em um Hospital Universitário durante a pandemia da Covid-19. Método: estudo quantitativo, observacional, descritivo. Utilizou-se questionário eletrônico na plataforma Google forms, respondido por profissionais de enfermagem que atuavam em unidades coorte de Covid-19 em um Hospital Universitário do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Dados armazenados no Excel 2010 e analisados por estatística simples. O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: participaram 220 profissionais, 71,1% técnicos de enfermagem, 78,8% se declararam do sexo feminino, com faixa etária predominante entre 40-44 anos (21,9%). Possuíam vínculo temporário 83,9%, atuando por pelo menos três meses nas unidades, evidenciando a precarização do trabalho, já que o vínculo temporário priva o profissional de direitos trabalhistas. (75%) afirmaram ter um segundo vínculo; 60,3% trabalhavam 60h semanais. 72,6% tinham segundo vínculo e atuavam em setor coorte, aumentando assim a exposição ao vírus e o risco de contaminação destes profissionais. 28,1% dos participantes afirmaram ter alguma comorbidade como: hipertensão arterial, obesidade, asma e diabetes. Conclusão: o gênero feminino, o duplo vínculo e a carga horária excessiva foram fatores que aumentaram a exposição dos profissionais de enfermagem ao SARS-CoV-2, comprometendo a saúde física, mental e social destes indivíduos.

Authors: Furtado Marlesson Arlean Alencar , Santos Gabriela Barbosa dos , Araújo Josiney Farias de , Freitas Manolo Cleiton Costa de , Correia Leandro Marques
Published: September 2022

A espécie Iroxa chinensi conhecida popularmente como alfinete gigante, que é utilizada no preparo de extratos hidroalcoólicos utilizados como indicadores naturais de substâncias ácidas e básicas. Esse estudo teve como objetivo obter uma solução hidroalcóolica indicadora ácido-base a partir da espécie Iroxa chinensi para teste qualitativo (visualização da coloração em soluções ácidas e básicas do dia a dia) e teste quantitativo (determinação da porcertagem do teor de ácido acético em vinagres comercializados no município de Breves no Estado do Pará). Esse estudo foi realizado em várias etapas, a saber: o preparo do extrato hidroalcoólico a partir da Iroxa chinensi e posteriormente a produção de fitas de pH; testes utilizando tanto o extrato quanto a fita de pH em soluções preparadas e produtos do cotidiano; e determinação do teor de ácido acético em vinagres comerciais. Os resultados mostraram a eficiência do extrato hidroalcoólico da Iroxa chinensi como indicador natural de ácido-base, assim como a fita de pH mostrou-se uma ferramenta viável na identificação de substâncias ácidas e básicas. Portanto, existe um potencial na utilização de indicadores naturais para identificar substâncias ácidas e básicas do dia a dia, levando em consideração a fácil obtenção desses recursos, baixo custo e eficiência nos resultados obtidos, podendo assim substituir indicadores sintéticos, além de ser uma ferramenta que pode ser facilmente produzida e trabalhada em sala de aula.
Dependência no uso prolongado dos benzodiazepínicos no tratamento da ansiedade em pacientes idosos: clonazepam versus diazepam
Authors: Savala Joyce de Lira , Rodrigues Junior Omero Martins
Published: September 2022

Os benzodiazepínicos estão entre as drogas mais consumidas no Brasil e no mundo. Desenvolvidas acidentalmente na década de 1960, essas drogas ganharam ampla aceitação por seus efeitos satisfatórios no controle de distúrbios do sono e ansiedade. O abuso de benzodiazepínicos está aumentando devido ao crescente diagnóstico de distúrbios do sono e relacionados à ansiedade, bem como à prática da automedicação, levando a sérios problemas de saúde, como tolerância, abstinência, dependência, dentre outras. O objetivo desta revisão é comparar a literatura existente sobre a dependência no uso prolongado dos benzodiazepínicos no tratamento da ansiedade em pacientes idosos destacando o Clonazepan versus Diazepam. Para a pesquisa bibliográfica foi utilizada as bases de dados LILACS, PUBMED/MEDELINE e SCIELO, na qual identificaram-se 32 artigos, sendo 20 utilizados na elaboração do trabalho, com a seleção de artigos publicados em periódicos nacionais e internacionais, no período de 2013 a 2022. Resultados mostram a dependência e as consequências do uso ao longo prazo por pacientes idosos que fazem o uso de benzodiazepínicos, assim como a dificuldade do manejo na descontinuação dos idosos. A literatura sugere a utilização segura e eficaz no uso dos benzodiazepínicos em pacientes os idosos com ansiedade, a fim de precaver a dependência do mesmo.

Authors: Medeiros Juliano Smaniotto de , Rossi Eduardo Pellegrino da Rocha , Kominski Giovanni Ariel Bora , Freitas Fábio Henrique Gomes de , Padoani Patrick Willian , Maschke Silvio Neupert
Published: September 2022

Introdução: As fraturas de fêmur proximal podem acontecer pessoas de todas as idades. Entretanto são mais comumente encontradas em pessoas com idade mais avançada, ainda mais frequentemente em mulheres acima de 60 anos. Essas fraturas podem ser consideradas emergências cirúrgicas, podendo ser agravadas com a presença de comorbidades. Os pacientes que apresentam esse tipo de fratura têm apresentado um índice de mortalidade aumentado, associado a condições gerais desse indivíduo como idade e fisiologia do paciente. Objetivo: Verificar as evidências científicas relacionadas a mortes causadas por fraturas do fêmur proximal na população em geral. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo, qualitativo, do tipo revisão bibliográfica sistemática. Para a pesquisa de artigos, foram utilizadas as plataformas de base de dados PubMed/Medline e Scielo e foram incluídos artigos publicados nos últimos dez anos (2012–2022). Foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: “fracture of the proximal femur”, “deaths” and “impacts”. Resultados e Conclusão: Foram encontrados um total de dez artigos indexados nas bases de dados Scielo®️, MedLine®️ e PubMed®️, no período de 2004 a 2021. Através dessa revisão sistemática foram correlacionados o tempo de internação, sexo dos pacientes, presenças de comorbidades. Essa análise apontou que uma maior exposição ao ambiente hospitalar, associada com as comorbidades podem realmente ser fatores que levem a um aumento da mortalidade nesses pacientes. Esses dados auxiliam na análise da expectativa quanto a mortalidade e morbidade ocasionada por essas fraturas.
Determination Of Relative Error in Coal Resource Classification Based On Geostatistical Drill Hole Spacing Analysis: A Case Study of Coal Deposits at Batang Hari, Jambi
Authors: Fadhli Muhammad , Setiawan Budhi
Published: September 2022

Generally, the determination of resource classification is only qualitative based on the geometric factors and geological complexity that control it. However, as the prospect area is found to have a reasonably heterogeneous sediment characteristic, a method is needed that can be used to increase the level of confidence in determining the Optimum Drill Hole Spacing. Therefore, this study uses the application of geostatistics with the global estimation variance (GEV) method based on the relative error value of each parameter, namely the thickness geometry and quality in the form of Ash and VM. This research was carried out in Jangga Aur village, Bathin XXIV District, Batang Hari Regency, Jambi Province, Working Area of PT Berkat Bara Persada Jobsite PT Inti Bara Nusalima.The Drill Hole Spacing Analysis (DHSA) results will obtain optimum spacing on resource classification based on relative error values, namely 0-10% for measured resources, 10-20% for indicated resources, and 20% for Inferred resources carried out the on-seam reference. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the seam reference used was Seam D, then the spacing distance of the drill hole on the coal seam of the research area, which had an average distance of 80 m, with geostatic analysis could be increased up to a distance of 250 m in measured resources, indicated resources of 450 m and Inferred 800 m.
Visual Art and Self-Construction
Authors: Mitcheson Katrina
Published: September 2022

Starting from the criticisms of a simple, given self found in Nietzsche, Freud and Foucault, Visual Art and Self-Construction employs artworks to address the problem of how a complex self, incorporating multiple drives, is constructed, and how a hermeneutics of the self can avoid reproducing a subjugated self. Literary artworks have previously been looked to for models of self-construction, and narrative theories of the self turn to the novel in particular as a paradigm of self-unification. Exploring the narrative theory of the self advanced by Paul Ricoeur this book argues that narrative theories inevitably offer a restrictive account of self-construction which both overlooks various ways in which the self is already being constructed in the context of power relations and how the self could be re-constructed. Visual Art and Self-Construction offers a fresh approach, looking beyond the model of literature, and employing a range of visual art to offer an alternative account of self-construction to narrative theory, which can incorporate multiple, bodily processes. It explores work by artists including Louise Bourgeois, Francis Bacon, Cindy Sherman, Rebecca Horn, Steve McQueen, Mona Hatoum Claude Cahun, and Joseph Beuys showing how they can be employed as technologies of the self to understand self-construction, resist subjugation, and exploit the possibilities of self-transformation.
There is No Data for Islam: Testing the Utility of a Category
Authors: Hughes Aaron W.
Published: September 2022

Hughes argues that Islam is not an ahistorical essence, but the site of multiple competing truth claims. These claims rely on underdefined concepts such as tradition or authority. But there is inevitably a danger that commentators will seek to emphasise some characteristics and marginalise others. While Shahab Ahmed has tried to rescue ‘Islam’ as a category of analysis by framing it in very broad terms, but ultimately this seems to avoid the issue that all definitions of Islam are assertions of power, which aim to police practices that are deemed peripheral and disregards changes over time.
Paradigms of Religion and the Swift Birth of Islam: Wilfred Cantwell Smith Revisited
Authors: Wood Philip
Published: September 2022

This chapter engages with recent writing in the study of religion that sees the term ‘religion’ as a product of a nineteenth century imperial context. While much scholarship on this subject has considered the etic use of ‘religion’ as a term of analysis, this chapter focuses on the role of empire before the nineteenth century in producing different criteria for religion as a comparative category. It argues that the late Roman definition of ‘religion’ forms an important part of the context for the Quran, and for its presumption that humanity will be divided according to religion. And secondly it argues that Muslim assumptions about religion affected the evolution of non-Muslim religion.
Prospects for a New Idiom for Islamic History
Authors: Bashir Shahzad
Published: September 2022

This chapter reflects on the positivistic treatment of medieval ‘histories’ written in Muslim contexts, which often ignore their significance as pieces of rhetoric. This is a product both of an emphasis on philology in training and a wish to make essentialised generalisations about Islam to communicate to policy makers. A corrective is offered here in recognising the Sunni bias of many of the sources for canonical understandings of Islamic history and recognising that Islam is a discursive field and a product of the choices of historians, rather than having an essence that precedes our texts.
Introduction: ‘Nearest to The King’
Authors: Bergeron David M.
Published: September 2022

The Introduction establishes the essential argument of the book: that Lennox was the most important courtier in the Jacobean court from his arrival from France in 1583 until his death in 1624. This section sketches the evidence for this claim in his political, diplomatic, and personal life. The Introduction outlines the organization of the biography, chapter by chapter. It also discusses the research involved in the biography.
England: A Courtier in a New World of Joy and Sorrow
Authors: Bergeron David M.
Published: September 2022

Chapter 2 focuses extensively on major events in the royal family’s early years in England (1603-1612) and Lennox’s involvement. His hand can be found in almost all that shaped their lives, participating in the coronation for James and Anne and the subsequent civic pageant honoring them. James immediately appointed Lennox to the Privy Council and made him head of the Gentlemen of the Bedchamber. The years 1610-1612 concentrate on Prince Henry beginning with his installation as Prince of Wales. In late 1612 Henry became ill and died on 6 of November. Lennox served as “chief supporter” to Prince Charles, the chief mourner in the funeral procession.
Fundamental Concepts
Authors: Reid Elspeth Christie
Published: September 2022

This chapter reflects upon Scottish and comparative treatment of the rights of the person, including bodily and mental integrity, liberty, reputation, integrity of property, economic well-being, as well as the function of damages as a response to infringement. It discusses the different modes of wrongful conduct, including negligence, intentional infliction of harm, and strict liability. There is guidance on the different types of person who may bring actions and those who may incur liability. The implications of the Human Rights Act 1988 for the law of delict are outlined, as well as the role of insurance in the conduct of disputes in this area.
Liability of Employers to Employees
Authors: Reid Elspeth Christie
Published: September 2022

This chapter examines the various aspects of the employer’s duty to protect employees against physical danger in the workplace. This includes duty to take care that staff are competent, materials are adequate, there is a safe system of working, and adequate precautions are taken in regard to unusual hazards. Issues arising from exposure of employees to occupational stress are also considered, as is the extent of duty to save employees from financial loss. In addition, there is discussion of the modern framework of statutory liability, and its interaction with the common law.
Product Liability
Authors: Reid Elspeth Christie
Published: September 2022

This chapter discusses the basis of liability in negligence for defective products, starting with the landmark case of Donoghue v Stevenson. However, most of its attention is given to the framework of statutory liability introduced by the Consumer Protection Act 1987. It explains the concept of “consumer” for the purposes of the act, as well as key terms such as producer, product, and damage. The criterion of defectiveness is examined in detail, including the various tests by which it may be established. The difficulties of establishing causation in this context are noted, as is the range of defences permitted by the Act.
William the Conqueror: The Only Shakescene in a Country
Authors: Wilson Richard
Published: September 2022

Richard Wilson critically situates the 2016 announcement of £11 million towards building a ‘Globe of the North’ in Liverpool, and draws on an anonymous Elizabethan drama variously attributed to Shakespeare and Robert Greene entitled A Pleasant Comedy of Fair Em the Miller’s Daughter of Manchester: With the love of William the Conqueror. Wilson’s chapter is therefore concerned with the uses to which Shakespeare has been put in the north historically, and currently, including on and beyond performances on stage, focussing on his appropriations in northern civic society, his incorporation within the fabric of northern cityscapes, and his figurings in diverse media now. Wilson concludes that we underestimate ‘Shakespearean Lancashire’ at our peril.
A Road by Any Other Name: Heaton History Group, a North East Suburb and Shakespeare
Authors: Jackson Chris
Published: September 2022

Chris Armstrong’s chapter explores what happens when Shakespeare, northern locations and local history meet, focussing on a recent community research project on the origin of Shakespearean street names in Heaton, Newcastle upon Tyne. Jackson delves into the rich Shakespearean culture and heritage of the North East of England and the intersection of local history and national theatre, reinforcing the sense that Shakespeare’s welcome in the North has been warmer than the North’s reception in Shakespeare criticism.
Colonial Conditions: On Being Ill in the Anglo-Indian Novel
Authors: Goodman Sam
Published: September 2022

This chapter examines the variety of diseases, illnesses and medical conditions represented throughout Anglo-Indian fiction and the ways in which these authors use medicine as a means of engaging with the history of the British Empire in India. Grounding the book’s critical medical humanities approach, the chapter argues that fictional imaginings of India published in this period continually configure British presence in relation to illness and the perennial risk to health; beyond the recurrent use of illness as a narrative device, the metaphor and idiom of post-Imperial fiction are repeatedly expressed in medicalised terms throughout the work of the authors under study. The chapter is divided into three sections, engaging with J. G. Farrell’s conceptual exploration of medicine, Paul Scott’s focus on the embodied experience of illness, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s representation of mental health.
The Crisis of ‘Non-Representation’
Authors: Barnwell Ashley
Published: September 2022

Influenced by the arguments discussed in the previous chapter, as well as Brian Massumi’s ‘The Autonomy of Affect’ (1995, 2002, 2015), critics such as Nigel Thrift (2007) and John Law (2004) argue that creative genres of representation, such as fiction and performance, are more affective and can thus access the visceral truth of experience better than scientific and critical methods. Analysing the proposals of Thrift, Law, and fictocriticism, this chapter explores why certain methods are deemed to be more creative than others, and therefore, more in touch with embodied experience.
Highlighting some of the persistent tensions in these method proposals, I argue that we should reconsider the social purchase of critical attention and what Paul Ricoeur called ‘the hermeneutics of suspicion’. To do this, the chapter locates an intriguing parallel between a public fascination with conspiracy culture and secrecy and affect theory’s concerns about unseen agencies and atmospheres. Indeed, the bestselling novels and most watched television programs of our times present popular representations of ‘the hermeneutics of suspicion’. Read in social context, the divisions between critical and creative or common forms of attention become less resolute. Critique can be seen as socially impelled, rather than socially redundant.
The Life of Genre
Authors: Barnwell Ashley
Published: September 2022

The final chapter draws out what is at stake when we recuperate conflicts between creative and critical methods, and social and scholarly modes of interpretation. The preceding chapters have demonstrated that such divisions, when examined closely, always unravel. So why do we insist on thinking about method along such oppositional lines and what are the consequences for the ethics of social inquiry?
Drawing from writings by Bernhard Schlink and Barbara Johnson on the dangers of polemical thinking and rationalisation, this final chapter evaluates both the quandaries and potential of current debates about affect and critique. I conclude that rather than trying to decide which is the ‘right’ mode to engage with social life, as if method were an external lens, we might think about our methods as part of the very social flux that we seek to address. In this light, ‘paranoid reading’ can be seen as an immanent response to the instability of social structures, rather than a defunct method of decades past. Concluding the argument, this chapter opens up divisions in current methodological debates and re-enlists critique as a valuable method for engaging with questions about affect, ontology, and social transformation.
‘Hollow-hearted angels’: Coins, Counterfeits and the Discourses of Treason
Authors: Hudson Judith
Published: September 2022

Chapter Two considers another problematic offence: counterfeiting, a crime that was not popularly perceived as a sin, yet which was prosecuted and punished as high treason. The chapter considers the dramatisation of coining and counterfeiting in seventeenth century drama – The Revenger’s Tragedy, A Chaste Maid in Cheapside, The Roaring Girl, The Alchemist – asking how that depiction interacts with the ‘official’ discourses of treason. Unlike other ‘treasonous’ crimes of the period, the severity of punishment decreed for counterfeiting seemed to have little moral force behind it, and it was notably absent from the proscriptions of the Decalogue. Yet analysis reveals that issues of coining and counterfeiting were intimately bound up in the discourses of mercantile worth and personal profit that dominate contemporary drama, and this chapter explores the significance of that connection. It also interrogates the representation of the offence in legal record and popular print, seeking the traces of a counter-discourse on coining that may or may not exist.
A Possible Person?: Marking the Minor Character in Dickens
Authors: Gore Clare Walker
Published: September 2022

This chapter explores the marginalised position of disabled characters in the overcrowded novels of Charles Dickens, arguing that Dickens trains his readers to understand physical distinctiveness and impairment as indicators of minor status, but that he uses this connection in subtle ways to highlight the cruelties of the narrative order. By writing minorness onto his characters’ bodies as disability, Dickens draws attention to the inequities of the narrative structure, and encourages us to invest attention in those characters who are ultimately marginalised by his novels’ plotting. Through heroines such as Esther Summerson and Little Dorrit, who become major characters through their very minorness, a self-understanding written upon their bodies as disability, and through assertive disabled characters such as Jenny Wren and Silas Wegg, who resist their narrative disablement, Dickens troubles his own narrative strategies, using disability to complicate readers’ response to the novels’ plots and final arrangements of characters.
Novalis’ Hymnen an die Nacht and the Prose Poem avant la lettre
Authors: Monroe Jonathan
Published: September 2022

To speak of a word as avant la lettre does not necessarily imply a fixed origin; it does imply a history of usage. In the case of the prose poem, a genre which should be of much interest to contemporary genre theory not only because of its current wide dis semination but also because it is a genre with a relatively short history, the term avant la lettre must have reference to Baudelaire, for it is his collection of Petits
poèmes en prose, his naming of them as such, that establishes the currency of the prose poem within literature. It is not this chapter’s aim, however, to consider the emergence of the modern prose poem with Bertrand and Baudelaire in France, where it acquires currency as a literary genre for the fi rst time. Nor does it intend to argue that Novalis’ Hymnen an die Nacht constitutes the “real” or “true” origin of the prose poem. Rather, it hopes to show that the Hymnen an die Nacht provides an early framework within which to consider the emerging conflict between prose and poetry, a conflict that defines one of the prose poem’s principal concerns from Bertrand and Baudelaire to the present.
“Prose in Prose” in Contemporary French Poetic Practice: Appropriation, Repurposing and Pornography
Authors: Barda Jeff
Published: September 2022

The idea that a collation of junk or waste could generate new representations, filiations and forms of meaning has become a significant feature of a number of poetic practices of the 20th century, which work with or from pre-existing materials. The recent years saw the proliferation in North American poetry of a new generation of “uncreative writers” (Kenneth Goldsmith, Vanessa Place, …) generating new poetic objects through plagiarism, collage/montage and flarf. The advent of digital technology introduces crucial consequences for the way one produces, perceives and processes language. Focusing on issues of poetic theory, this chapter will show how earlier references of French poetry (Dada, OuLiPo, Situationism) can be identified in their work but also how this new paradigm serves French contemporary poets to generate avatars of poet’s prose that bypass the traditional definitions of poetry. It will question the filiation or rupture of this kind of poetry with the modernist tradition, the social and political meaning of these appropriations and the status of their work in regard to prose. More generally, it will shed light on the complex dynamics of textual circulation, reception and canonization of uncreative works in contemporary poetics.
The Spectator in the Magazine: Cinema-going, Ideology and Femininity
Authors: Missero Dalila
Published: September 2022

This chapter focuses on the intersections between gender, ideology and cinema-going, through the analysis of articles and agony columns published in a sample of Italian women’s magazines, covering the years 1958–1963. In particular, it concentrates on the discourses and opinions about cinema-going presented in Catholic (Famiglia Cristiana, Cosí), Communist (Noi Donne) and commercial (Annabella) women’s magazines to compare their different approaches to femininity and mass culture. The comparison between these publications reveals the complex ideological and gendered meanings attributed to women’s movie-going, as well as the transgressive and pleasurable traits it had for many, especially young, readers.
Asexuality and Housework in the Anthological Comedies of the Mid-1960s
Authors: Missero Dalila
Published: September 2022

This chapter analyses a group of comedies of the mid ‘60s which represented the crisis of the bourgeois couple. These films generally employed the tropes of popular sexology to portray female characters as neurotic, unproductive and frigid. By means of an anachronistic use of feminist theories on reproductive labour, this chapter reveals the potentiality of asexuality for a feminist and political critique of compulsory (hetero)sexuality.
The Beginning of the End? Depoliticised Feminism in Fellini’s City of Women
Authors: Missero Dalila
Published: September 2022

This chapter focuses on a late film of Federico, La città delle donne (City of Women, 1980), which benefitted of the collaboration of a group of feminist intellectuals, artists and activists. By reconstructing the creative and political implications of this collaboration, the chapter uses this film as a prism to look at the shifts occurred in the strategies of the feminist movement by the late 1970s.
A Forgetting in the Thesis of Forgetting
Authors: Ferrarese Estelle , Corcoran Steven
Published: September 2022

The Adornian thesis of forgetting treats a generalized process affecting all human beings without distinction within the capitalist form of life. In other terms, the thesis itself contains a point of forgetfulness, that of the specificity imparted to women in the moral economy of the capitalist form of life.
Ferrarese argues that within capitalism sectors/practices that escape the market co-exist with sectors/practices woven by the market, and that capitalism is propped up on both sets of sectors/practices, as it feeds on moral dispositions that are distributed in a gendered fashion. Taking up certain ideas from the ethics of care for her own account, Ferrarese conceives of capitalism as demanding differentiated moral dispositions along the lines of gender, dispositions that are not to be understood as two parallel and inverted subjectivations, constituting admirable women and blameworthy men. Rather, she argues that, within the generalised indifference instituted by the capitalist form of life, women are in addition ascribed a disposition for caring, itself limited to those forms in which it proves to be precious to the market – both to its conditions of possibility and to its concrete exchanges.
“I Don’t Make Culture, I Sell It!”: The Early History of Music Documentation, 1920s–1970s
Authors: Niebling Laura
Published: September 2022

In this chapter, Laura Niebling explores the pre-history of the rockumentary genre through mediated music on film, television, and in radio from the 1920s to the late 1960s. Especially the radio connection is important for the development of the rockumentary, via the canonization of music through experts, hits, and stars.

Offbeat and Out of Sync: Popeye and the Failure of an Auteur-Driven Franchise
Authors: Anderson Tim J.
Published: September 2022

This chapter argues for a reconsideration of Popeye (1980) as an auteur-blockbuster musical. Both Altman’s unconventional filmmaking style and Harry Nilsson’s songs and arrangements did not fit into a then-emergent discourse of blockbusters where musical film forms were explicitly conceived as textual investments for both profit and cross-promotional purposes. In the case of Popeye, both the songbook and score are distinctly subdued. Working with acoustic instrumentations and Van Dyke Parks’s arrangements, Nilsson’s music and lyrics reveal themselves as excessively simple. Instead of providing show-stopping moments, Nilsson’s songs and Van Dyke Parks’s arrangements often interweave with Altman’s famous overlapping dialogue. The chapter secures Popeye’s place within this specific historical moment of the late 1970s and early 1980s when Hollywood and the American musical industry both transitioned into and experimented to find a set of blockbuster-oriented cinema practices.
“Here Comes the Hot-Stepper”: Hollywood Renaissance, Indie Film and Robert Altman’s Comeback in the 1990s
Authors: Tzioumakis Yannis
Published: September 2022

During the 1980s, American independent film achieved some visibility thanks to the emergence of an industrial and institutional infrastructure that supported this type of production. However, commercial success remained limited. In the 1990s independent cinema became increasingly commercialized due to the adoption of stars, genres, niche marketing, and branded authorship. Independent cinema turned “indie.” In this environment, Robert Altman—in his late 60s—re-emerged as a rather unlikely key indie film figure. His “comeback” film, The Player (1992), embodied all the above commercial elements, making it one of the key titles in the sector under the marketing expertise of Fine Line Features (run by Ira Deutchman, with whom Altman had a long-established professional relationship). This chapter surveys Altman’s reinvention as an indie filmmaker in the early 1990s, focusing on the discourses surrounding The Player, Short Cuts (1993), and Pret-a-Porter (1994) while also examining arguments that saw 1990s indie films linked to the films of the Hollywood Renaissance of the 1970s, such as Altman’s McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971) and Nashville (1975).

Allan F. Nicholls began his collaboration with Robert Altman by playing folk singer Bill in Nashville (1975). Since that time, Nicholls worked in a variety of capacities with Altman. Looking at the period starting with 1980, Nicholls acted as Rough House in Popeye (1980), served as music supervisor for O.C. & Stiggs (1985) and Prêt-à-Porter (1994), and worked as either first assistant director or assistant director on many Altman films, including Streamers (1983), Secret Honor (1984), The Player (1992), Short Cuts (1993), Prêt-à-Porter, and Tanner on Tanner (2004). In this interview, Nicholls discusses his collaboration with Altman over three decades, with a particular focus on Prêt-à-Porter.
Ibn Jamaʿa’s Synthesis and Praxis of Shafiʿi Political Thought
Authors: El-Merheb Mohamad
Published: September 2022

Chapter 2 introduces the reader to Ibn Jamaʿa’s (639/1241–733/1333) career and political thought. It explains the development of his practicable conceptions of the rule of law and his elaboration of a new system of checks and balances to moderate the ruler’s discretionary exercise of power, which was rooted in Shafiʿi juristic reasoning and greatly benefited from the author’s administrative and judicial experience. The chapter treats Ibn Jamaʿa’s tripartite conception of political authority, which ruled out the normative need for the caliphal institution, advanced what resembled a proto-constitution that regulated all aspects of public life and empowered the administration, and proposed an advanced theory of the legitimate delegation of power to high-ranking functions of government.
Uncovering the Real as Physical: Naturalism and Materialism
Authors: Röck Tina
Published: September 2022

In this chapter the investigation moves towards metaphysics and speculation. At this point a first attempt to answer the question of what is real using the hallmark feature introduced in the last chapter (real is what resists) is made. This first attempt to answer what is real uses physicalist, naturalist and materialist approaches to understand the real. After discussing traditional forms of naturalism and materialism and presenting, their respective problems in accounting for the dynamic and relational aspects of reality are introduced. Thus, more dynamic and relational forms of naturalism or physicalism are presented, namely ontic structural realism (Ladyman and Ross) and transcendental scientific realism (Sellars). Both positions are better able to come to terms with the dynamic, networked reality that we are living in, but still fail to fully account for its integrated and temporal nature.
Moving from the World of Science to the Life-World
Authors: Röck Tina
Published: September 2022

This chapter moves from ways of grounding realism within a scientific horizon towards the attempt to ground realism in the Life-World. The central feature that distinguishes Life-World from the world of science is the centring of the concept of ‘life’ in the latter. Thus the idea of ‘life’ becomes the guiding principle of this chapter. An investigation into Aristotle’s account of life in DeAnima shows that ‘life’ merely names an inner principle of movement and that it does not presuppose a psyche or even consciousness. Using ‘life’ in this manner, means that the life world is characterised by an internal perspective (an innerness) and a historical/temporal dimension (movement). In a second step an alternative, but cognate account to describe reality as that which resists is discussed, namely nature in the pre-Socratic sense of physis. However, both terms (life as well as nature) suffer similar ontological and metaphysical issues.
From Phenomenology to Speculative Metaphysics
Authors: Röck Tina
Published: September 2022

The final chapter moves fully into speculative metaphysics. After discussing the ontological and conceptual problems that would ensue if ‘nature’ and ‘life’ were used as realist concepts of being, an alternative is introduced, namely ‘becoming existence’. It is discussed as a concept of being able to come to terms both with the becoming and the relational nature of being, without erasing all difference as is the case with ‘nature’ or ‘life’ as concepts of being.
Jocelyne Saab and CRIFFL: Dismantling Boundaries and Making New Routes for Asian Cinema in Lebanon
Authors: Srour Némésis
Published: September 2022

This chapter describes the adventure of making new routes for Asian cinema in Lebanon. Known for her work as a war reporter, for her documentaries and her fiction films, Jocelyne Saab is not only a filmmaker, nor a mere image-maker. Though she has explored making images in diverse forms and with various mediums little light has been shed on her role as an agent developing cinematic links between Lebanon and Asia. A firm believer in Lebanon’s integration in the Asiatic continent, her attitude contrasted with the country’s general attitude, mostly looking West towards Europe and the United States, pushing aside its links with the East. In her endeavor to unearth this Asian communality, always through and with cinema, she founded the Cultural Resistance International Film Festival of Lebanon in 2013, bringing Asian films to Lebanese screens. CRIFFL was in essence the first Lebanese festival dedicated to Asian films, and that, in itself, was a political act. As such, this chapter focusing on Saab’s links with Asia and on her work as a cultural agent with CRIFFL, formulating the hypothesis that Saab contributed to the production of a pan-Asian history of Lebanese cinema and of cinema in Lebanon.
Twilight Reflections in Single Frames and Short Sequences
Authors: Alkassim Samirah
Published: September 2022

Jocelyne Saab was one of the most adaptive and versatile filmmakers of her generation. This is evidenced by the creative work she produced in her later years, which took her literary voice, documentary eye, and personal experience of the Lebanese wars and those of its surrounding countries, into photography, video art, and cultural curatorial practice that expanded geographic borders. “The city has no center other than ourselves,” is the concluding line of her 2016 Imaginary Postcards, a 6-minute video homage to the bridge uniting East and West across the Bosporus, designed by Turkish architect Orhan Pamuk. This chapter will examine the work of her later years in light of their adaptive elements, particularly as the more flexible formats of video art, photography, and curation allowed for greater freedom to explore issues of culture that were of increasing concern to her: the culture wars between East and West; Arab women and Western feminism; the negative impact of increasing religiosity; the refugee crisis from regional wars. Describing herself as “a cartographer of the human condition”, she died seeking to understand the world around her as it continued to change, never losing the capacity to find wonder in a single frame.
