The End of Economic Man The Origins of Totalitarianism

The End of Economic Man The Origins of Totalitarianism

In The End of Economic Man long recognized as a cornerstone work Peter F. Drucker explains and interprets fascism and Nazism as fundamental revolutions. In some ways this book anticipated by more than a decade the existentialism that came to dominate the European political mood in the postwar period. Drucker provides a special addition to the massive literature on existentialism and alienation since World War II. The End of Economic Man is a social and political effort to explain the subjective consequences of the social upheavals caused by warfare. Drucker concentrates on one specific historical event: the breakdown of the social and political structure of Europe which culminated in the rise of Nazi totalitarianism to mastery over Europe. He explains the tragedy of Europe as the loss of political faith resulting from the political alienation of the European masses. The End of Economic Man is a book of great social import. It shows not only what might have helped the older generation avert the catastrophe of Nazism but also how today's generation can prevent another such catastrophe. This work will be of special interest to political scientists intellectual historians and sociologists. The book was singled out for praise on both sides of the Atlantic and is considered by the author to be his most prescient effort in social theory. | The End of Economic Man The Origins of Totalitarianism

Exploring End of Life Experience Facing Death

Exploring End of Life Experience Facing Death

The groundbreaking contribution made by this unique book draws on the experiences recorded by five people who are facing death – Jenny Diski Philip Gould Christopher Hitchens Michael Mayne and Cory Taylor. Analysing the key themes that emerge from a psychodynamic perspective the book describes how the memoirists respond to the first shock of receiving a terminal diagnosis how they meet the challenge of continuing an active life when the illusion of an open-ended future has gone and finally how they struggle with accepting death as it overtakes them. The author argues that the ability to accept personal death is the key to resolving the paradox of our need to survive at all costs while at the same time however much we might deny it we know that we must die. In a society where death and dying occur largely out of sight this book provides information about what it is like to die – physically psychologically and emotionally – and invites us to think about coming to terms with death. Exploring End of Life Experience is an important contribution to the interdisciplinary literature on death and dying relevant to scholars and practitioners in medicine nursing psychology and the wider medical humanities. | Exploring End of Life Experience Facing Death

Older Citizens and End-of-Life Care Social Work Practice Strategies for Adults in Later Life

Older Citizens and End-of-Life Care Social Work Practice Strategies for Adults in Later Life

Older people are like younger people citizens in the communities of the nations in which they live. This book sees ageing as a life journey that incorporates a process of citizening in which people build their identity as part of their family and community. But the social experience of illness frailty disability and reaching the end of life may de-citizen older people by devaluing the social identity that comes from continuing social engagement. We de-citizen older people by emphasizing dependence on services and their cost to public expenditure instead of valuing the interdependence of participation and mutual respect. This book argues that older people retain full citizenship for the whole of their lives up to the moment of death; but what does this mean for health and social care? In this groundbreaking book Malcolm Payne argues that social work with older people must build re-citizening practice strategies to value both the common and the special aspects of the citizenship of older people. Current models of social care and social work create dependency rather than relying on values of participative interdependence. The failure to recognize the end of life as a crucial element in all social care and social work for older people means that the lessons learned in providing palliative and end-of-life care in healthcare have not been transferred to social care and the priorities of end-of-life care have not been adequately encompassed in social work with older people. | Older Citizens and End-of-Life Care Social Work Practice Strategies for Adults in Later Life

Thanatourism and Cinematic Representations of Risk Screening the End of Tourism

Thanatourism and Cinematic Representations of Risk Screening the End of Tourism

In today’s world the need to eliminate natural and human-made disasters has been at the forefront of national and international socio-political agendas. The management of risks such as terrorism labour strikes protests and environmental degradation has become pivotal for countries that depend on their economy’s tourist sector. Indeed there is fear that that ‘the end of tourism’ might be nigh due to inadequate institutional foresight. Yet in designing relevant policies to tackle this arts such as that of filmmaking have yet to receive due consideration. This book adopts an unorthodox approach to debates about ‘the end of tourism’. Through twenty-first century cinematic narratives of symbolically interconnected ‘risks’ it considers how art envisages the future of humanity’s well-being. These ‘risks’ include: migration as an infectious disease; alien incursions as racialized labour mobilities; cyborg rebellion as the fear of post-colonial otherness; and zombie anthropophagy as the replacement of rooted identities by nomadic lifestyles. Such filmic scenarios articulate the futuristic survival of community as the triumph of the technological human over otherness and provide a means to debate societal risks that weave identity politics into unequal mobilities. This book will appeal to researchers and students interested in mobilities theory tourism and travel theory film studies and aesthetics globalisation studies race labour and migration. | Thanatourism and Cinematic Representations of Risk Screening the End of Tourism

The End of Physiotherapy

The End of Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is arriving at a critical point in its history. Since World War I physiotherapy has been one of the largest allied health professions and the established provider of orthodox physical rehabilitation. But ageing populations of increasingly chronically ill people a growing scepticism towards biomedicine and the changing economy of healthcare threaten physiotherapy’s long-held status. Paradoxically physiotherapy’s affinity for treating the ‘body-as-machine’ has resulted in an almost complete inability to identify the roots of the profession’s present problems or define possible ways forward. Physiotherapists need to engage in critically informed theoretical discussion about the profession’s past present and future - to explore their practice from economic philosophical political and sociological perspectives. The End of Physiotherapy aims to explain how physiotherapy has arrived at this critical point in its history and to point to a new future for the profession. The book draws on critical analyses of the historical and social conditions that have made present-day physiotherapy possible. Nicholls examines some of the key discourses that have had a positive impact on the profession in the past but now threaten to derail it. This book makes it possible for physiotherapists to think otherwise about their profession and their day-to-day practice. It will be essential reading for scholars and students of physiotherapy interprofessional and community rehabilitation as well as appealing to those working in medical sociology the medical humanities medical history and health care policy.

The Ongoing End: On the Limits of Apocalyptic Narrative

The Ongoing End: On the Limits of Apocalyptic Narrative

The world keeps turning to apocalypticism. Time is imagined as proceeding ineluctably to a catastrophic perhaps revelatory conclusion. Even when evacuated of distinctly religious content a broadly ecclesial structure persists in conceptions of our precarious life and our collective journey to an inevitable fate—the extinction of the human species. It is commonly believed that we are propelled along this course by human turpitude myopia hubris or ignorance and by the irreparable damage we have wrought to the world we inhabit. Yet this apprehension is insidious. Such teleological convictions and crises-laden narratives lead us to undervalue contingent hesitant and provisional forms of experience and knowledge. The essays comprising this volume concern a range of writers’ engagements with apocalyptic reasoning. Extending from a reading of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s ‘Triumph of Life’ to critiques of contemporary American novels they examine the ways in which ‘end times’ reasoning can inhibit imaginative reflection blunt political advocacy or – more positively – provide a repertoire for the critique of complacency. By gathering essays concerning a wide range of periods and literary dispositions this volume makes an important contribution to thinking about apocalypticism in literature but also as a social and political discourse. This book was originally published as a special issue of Studia Neophilologica. | The Ongoing End: On the Limits of Apocalyptic Narrative

Cross-Strait Relations Since 2016 The End of the Illusion

Cross-Strait Relations Since 2016 The End of the Illusion

Cross-Strait Relations Since 2016: The End of the Illusion examines the situation in the Taiwan Strait since the election of Tsai Ing-wen of the Democratic Progressive Party in the January 2016 general elections. Tracking the pragmatic approach taken by the Tsai administration this book positions the recent developments within a changing geopolitical context and analyzes Beijing’s reactions to an environment which has become increasingly skeptical of its intentions. It shows that despite President Tsai’s commitment to the status quo in the Taiwan Strait and pro-democracy policies which have been well received by the international community Xi Jinping continues to advocate for a unification policy which remains very unpopular in Taiwan. With in-depth on-the-ground analysis based on access to various government actors in Taiwan and abroad the author takes a deep dive into a highly complex relationship that is often misunderstood abroad with stakes that have direct implications for the future stability of the Indo-Pacific region. The first English language book to provide a full assessment of the four years of DPP rule since 2016 this book will be useful to students and scholars of Asian Studies and Taiwan Studies as well as Security Studies Politics and International Relations. | Cross-Strait Relations Since 2016 The End of the Illusion

US Foreign Policy and the End of the Cold War in Africa A Bridge between Global Conflict and the New World Order 1988-1994

This book investigates the end of the Cold War in Africa and its impact on post-Cold War US foreign policy in the continent. The fall of the Berlin Wall is widely considered the end of the Cold War; however it documents just one of the many ends since the Cold War was a global conflict. This book looks at one of the most neglected extra-European battlegrounds the African continent and explores how American foreign policy developed in this region between the late 1980s and the early 1990s. Drawing on a wide range of recently disclosed documents the book shows that the Cold War in Africa ended in 1988 preceding the fall of the Berlin Wall. It also reveals how since then some of the most controversial and inconsistent episodes of post-Cold War US foreign policy in Africa have been deeply rooted in the unique process whereby American rivalry with the USSR found its end in the continent. The book challenges the traditional narrative by presenting an original perspective on the study of the end of the Cold War and provides new insights into the shaping of US foreign policy during the so-called ‘unipolar moment’. This book will be of much interest to students of Cold War history US foreign policy African politics and international relations. | US Foreign Policy and the End of the Cold War in Africa A Bridge between Global Conflict and the New World Order 1988-1994

Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos

Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos

Women in Mycenaean Greece is the first book-length study of women in the Linear B tablets from Mycenaean Greece and the only to collect and compile all the references to women in the documents of the two best attested sites of Late Bronze Age Greece - Pylos on the Greek mainland and Knossos on the island of Crete. The book offers a systematic analysis of women’s tasks holdings and social and economic status in the Linear B tablets dating from the 14th and 13th centuries BCE identifying how Mycenaean women functioned in the economic institutions where they were best attested - production property control land tenure and cult. Analysing all references to women in the Mycenaean documents the book focuses on the ways in which the economic institutions of these Bronze Age palace states were gendered and effectively extends the framework for the study of women in Greek antiquity back more than 400 years. Throughout the book seeks to establish whether gender practices were uniform in the Mycenaean states or differed from site to site and to gauge the relationship of the roles and status of Mycenaean women to their Archaic and Classical counterparts to test if the often-proposed theories of a more egalitarian Bronze Age accurately reflect the textual evidence. The Linear B tablets offer a unique if under-utilized point of entry into women’s history in ancient Greece documenting nearly 2000 women performing over fifty task assignments. From their decipherment in 1952 one major gap in the scholarly record remained: a full accounting of the women who inhabited the palace states and their tasks ranks and economic contributions. Women in Mycenaean Greece fills that gap recovering how class rank and other social markers created status hierarchies among women how women as a group functioned relative to men and where different localities conformed or diverged in their gender practices. | Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos
