Bodies, Commodities, and Biotechnologies: Death, Mourning, and Scientific Desire in the Realm of Human Organ Transfer
ISBN: 9780231138390 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the United States today, the human body defines a lucrative site of reusable parts, ranging from whole organs to minuscule and even microscopic tissues. Although the medical practices that enable the transfer of parts from one body to another most certainly relieve suffering and extend lives, they have also irrevocably altered perceptions of the cultural values assigned to the body. Organ transfer is rich terrain to investigate--especially in the American context, where sophisticated technological interventions have significantly shaped understandings of health and well-being,...

The Sacrificed Generation: Youth, History, and the Colonized Mind in Madagascar
ISBN: 9780520229518 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Youth and identity politics figure prominently in this provocative study of personal and collective memory in Madagascar. A deeply nuanced ethnography of historical consciousness, it challenges many cross-cultural investigations of youth, for its key actors are not adults but schoolchildren. Lesley Sharp refutes dominant assumptions that African children are the helpless victims of postcolonial crises, incapable of organized, sustained collective thought or action.
She insists instead on the political agency of Malagasy youth who, as they decipher their current predicament, offer potent,... Youth and identity politics figure prominently in this provocative study of personal and collective memory in Madagascar. A deeply nuanced ethnography...

The Transplant Imaginary: Mechanical Hearts, Animal Parts, and Moral Thinking in Highly Experimental Science
ISBN: 9780520277984 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In The Transplant Imaginary, author Lesley Sharp explores the extraordinarily surgically successful realm of organ transplantation, which is plagued worldwide by the scarcity of donated human parts, a quandary that generates ongoing debates over the marketing of organs as patients die waiting for replacements. These widespread anxieties within and beyond medicine over organ scarcity inspire seemingly futuristic trajectories in other fields. Especially prominent, longstanding, and promising domains include xenotransplantation, or efforts to cull fleshy organs from animals for human use,...

Possessed and the Dispossessed: Spirits, Identity and Power in a Madagascar Migrant Town
ISBN: 9780520207080 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 399 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This finely drawn portrait of a complex, polycultural urban community in Madagascar emphasizes the role of spirit medium healers, a group heretofore seen as having little power. These women, Leslie Sharp argues, are far from powerless among the peasants and migrant laborers who work the land in this plantation economy. In fact, Sharp's wide-ranging analysis shows that tromba, or spirit possession, is central to understanding the complex identities of insiders and outsiders in this community, which draws people from all over the island and abroad. Sharp's study also reveals the...

Strange Harvest: Organ Transplants, Denatured Bodies, and the Transformed Self
ISBN: 9780520247864 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Strange Harvest illuminates the wondrous yet disquieting medical realm of organ transplantation by drawing on the voices of those most deeply involved: transplant recipients, clinical specialists, and the surviving kin of deceased organ donors. In this rich and deeply engaging ethnographic study, anthropologist Lesley Sharp explores how these parties think about death, loss, and mourning, especially in light of medical taboos surrounding donor anonymity. As Sharp argues, new forms of embodied intimacy arise in response, and the riveting insights gleaned from her interviews,...
