Описание: Antimicrobial resistance is now a general problem. Many of us have elderly relatives who died from a drug-resistant infection, and some of us have suffered from a resistant urinary infection that likely came from intestinal bacteria following antibiotic consumption. Antimicrobial Resistance in the 21st Century provides a broad introduction to the subject in which the situation with problematic pathogens is detailed, the biology of resistance is described, and gaining approval for new antibiotics is discussed. Some topics are immediately practical, such as watching for resistant pathogen sub-populations in cultures taken from patients; other topics point to future research efforts that may lead to new antimicrobials and ways to stimulate the action of existing ones. Overall, Antimicrobial Resistance in the 21st Century provides an update for physicians, serves as a starting point for graduate students interested in solving the resistance problem, and may serve as a text for a course on resistance. Lay readers familiar with microbiology will gain an appreciation for a medical issue that promises to be one of the most important of our time.

Описание: The early collections from Africa in Liverpool’s World Museum reflect the city’s longstanding shipping and commercial links with Africa’s Atlantic coast. A principal component of these collections is an assemblage of several thousand artefacts from western Africa that were transported to institutions in northwest England between 1894 and 1916 by the Liverpool steam ship engineer Arnold Ridyard. While Ridyard’s collecting efforts can be seen to have been shaped by the steamers’ dynamic capacity to connect widely separated people and places, his Methodist credentials were fundamental in determining the profile of his African networks, because they meant that he was not part of official colonial authority in West Africa. Kingdon’s study uncovers the identities of many of Ridyard’s numerous West African collaborators and discusses their interests and predicaments under the colonial dispensation. Against this background account, their agendas are examined with reference to surviving narratives that accompanied their donations and within the context of broader processes of trans-imperial exchange, through which they forged new identities and statuses for themselves and attempted to counter expressions of British cultural imperialism in the region. The study concludes with a discussion of the competing meanings assigned to the Ridyard assemblage by the Liverpool Museum and examines the ways in which its re-contextualization in museum contexts helped to efface signs of the energies and narratives behind its creation.

Описание: A Century of South African Theatre offers an authoritative, wide-ranging chronicle of a century of theatre and other kinds of performance in South Africa. Its comprehensive coverage includes the Pageant of Union celebrating white South Africa’s entry into the British Commonwealth in 1910, through apartheid culture and anti-apartheid protest and testimonial theatre right up to the present dramatization of the problems and conflicts of today’s uneven post-apartheid society, where government has promised much and delivered little. The breadth of work considered includes local languages of performance such as Afrikaans and Zulu as well as varieties of English, and local fusions of international forms from melodrama to the musical, tribal epics to avant-garde and multi-media experiments. Building on the author's previous publications in this field, A Century of South African Theatre provides a transnational historical and theoretical framework to highlight South Africa’s changing engagement with the world from the days of Empire through the supposed isolation and surreptitious contacts of the apartheid era to the multi-lateral and multi-lingual globalized networks of the 21st century. The final chapters bring the work up to the present: 'The Interregnum: Pitfalls Of Post-Anti-Apartheid Theatre' examines the successful if short-lived application of protest and testimonial theatre to new South African problems especially AIDS and domestic violence, as well as the better known testimonial performances in and around the TRC, while 'South African Performance In The Age Of Globalization' critically evaluates internationally known theatre makers, including the signature collaborations between animator/designer/director William Kentridge, and Handspring Puppet Company, and the recently notorious work of showman Brett Bailey and Third World Bunfight in Exhibit B. The volume is supplemented with further resources including a glossary and chronology.

Описание: American dramas consciously rewrite the past as a means of determined criticism and intentional resistance. While modern criticism often sees the act of revision as derivative, Malburne-Wade uses Victor Turner`s concept of the social drama and the concept of the liminal to argue for a more complicated view of revision.
Описание: This volume considers the interconnection of racial oppression in the U.S. South and West, presenting thirteen case studies that explore the ways in which people have been caged and incarcerated, and what these practices tell us about state building, coercive legal powers, and national sovereignty. As these studies depict the institutional development and state scaffolding of overlapping carceral regimes, they also consider how prisoners and immigrants resisted such oppression and violence by drawing on the transnational politics of human rights and liberation, transcending the isolation of incarceration and the boundaries of domestic law.
