Bedside Manner: Hospital and Health Care in Hong Kong
ISBN: 9789622017986 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Hong Kong the responsibility for building and operating hospitals used to be shared by the Government of Hong Kong and a number of charities, including religious orders, some with traditions dating back to the earliest times. Unfortunately this dual system of government and subvented hospitals was not integrated, leading to problems of coordination and management and resulting in gaps and duplication in services, inefficient and ineffective use of resources, as well as low staff morale. The problems persisted against a background of significant population growth, rising community...

The Politics of Postmodernism
ISBN: 9780415280167 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Postmodernism has become so familiar a term that it is easy to forget how complex, challenging and politically charged postmodern theory can be. We are even sometimes told that postmodernism is over, or that it never existed. This text remains a clear and incisive introduction to the field. Perhaps more importantly, it is a discussion of why postmodernism matters. Working through the issue of representation, in art forms from fiction to photography, Linda Hutcheon sets out postmodernism's highly political challenge to the dominant ideologies of the western world. A new epilogue traces the...

Opera: The Art of Dying
ISBN: 9780674335615 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Our modern narratives of science and technology can only go so far in teaching us about the death that we must all finally face. Can an act of the imagination, in the form of opera, take us the rest of the way? Might opera, an art form steeped in death, teach us how to die, as this provocative work suggests? In "Opera: The Art of Dying" a physician and a literary theorist bring together scientific and humanistic perspectives on the lessons on living and dying that this extravagant and seemingly artificial art imparts. Contrasting the experience of mortality in opera to that in... Our modern narratives of science and technology can only go so far in teaching us about the death that we must all finally face.

Four Last Songs: Aging and Creativity in Verdi, Strauss, Messiaen, and Britten
ISBN: 9780226420684 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Aging and creativity can seem a particularly fraught relationship for artists, who often face age-related difficulties as their audience's expectations are at a peak. In Four Last Songs, Linda and Michael Hutcheon explore this issue via the late works of some of the world's greatest composers. Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901), Richard Strauss (1864-1949), Olivier Messiaen (1908-92), and Benjamin Britten (1913-76) all wrote operas late in life, pieces that reveal unique responses to the challenges of growing older. Verdi's Falstaff, his only comedic success, combated Richard...

Irony's Edge : The Theory and Politics of Irony
ISBN: 9780415054539 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The edge of irony, says Linda Hutcheon, is always a social and political edge. Irony depends upon interpretation; it happens in the tricky, unpredictable space between expression and understanding. Irony's Edge is a fascinating, compulsively readable study of the myriad forms and the effects of irony. It sets out, for the first time, a sustained, clear analysis of the theory and the political contexts of irony, using a wide range of references from contemporary culture. Examples extend from Madonna to Wagner, from a clever quip in conversation to a contentious exhibition in a...

This volume explores the development of creative adaptation, and argues that the practice of adapting is central to the story-telling imagination.

Opera: Desire, Disease, Death
ISBN: 9780803273184 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "A fascinating interdisciplinary study of the interconnected subtexts of erotic attraction, illness, and death in several 19th- and 20th-century operatic texts. . . . This is an extraordinary examination of how opera uses the singing body--gendered and sexual--to give voice to the suffering person. Highly recommended."--Library Journal "The authors' argument is rich and complex; it draws on source, text and music; it is also medically sound. Opera is quintessentially an art of love and desire, of loss and suffering, of disease and death. Hutcheon and Hutcheon enrich our understanding of both...

Poverty in Canada
ISBN: 9780199003228 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. With income inequality a growing concern among many observers, it is no surprise that we have witnessed large-scale protests against a system that seems to exclude some groups and over-reward others. Poverty in Canada is on the rise, particularly among certain groups. The phenomenon of "globalization" is eliminating labour-intensive jobs and polarizing the job market into high-skill, high-paying jobs on one hand, and low-skill, low-paying jobs on the other. In these circumstances, the less-qualified, the disadvantaged, and the discriminated are unable to find decent jobs and too often become...
