Analyzes how the possibility of egg freezing changes what it means to be fertile and to age in the 21st century
Welcomed as liberation and dismissed as exploitation, egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) has rapidly become one of the most widely-discussed and influential new reproductive technologies of this century. In Freezing Fertility, Lucy van de Wiel takes us inside the world of fertility preservation--with its egg freezing parties, contested age limits, proactive anticipations and equity investments--and shows how the popularization of egg freezing has profound consequences for the way in which female fertility and reproductive aging are understood, commercialized and politicized. Beyond an individual reproductive choice for people who may want to have children later in life, Freezing Fertility explores how the rise of egg freezing also reveals broader cultural, political and economic negotiations about reproductive politics, gender inequities, age normativities and the financialization of healthcare. Van de Wiel investigates these issues by analyzing a wide range of sources--varying from sparkly online platforms to heart-breaking court cases and intimate autobiographical accounts--that are emblematic of each stage of the egg freezing procedure. By following the egg's journey, Freezing Fertility examines how contemporary egg freezing practices both reflect broader social, regulatory and economic power asymmetries and repoliticize fertility and aging in ways that affect the public at large. In doing so, the book explores how the possibility of egg freezing shifts our relation to the beginning and end of life.

Описание: The transparent clarity and rigid geometric forms of Wiel Arets have made him one of the most influential architects of modern times. A theorist as well as a designer, he is revered in his native Holland as a modern master in the tradition of Louis I. Kahn. Arets's works are stern but humane, powerful but not overbearing, and attentive to their urban context. Unlike other designers who create architecture of understated simplicity, Arets is concerned with "skins" - the sometimes transparent, sometimes opaque membranes that define buildings and cities. His reputation is founded on such works as the Academy of Art and Architecture in Maastricht (1990-93) and the headquarters for the AZL Pension Fund in Heerlen (1990-95), along with several newer projects, which are published here. This volume features photographs of Arets's work, along with project descriptions and excerpts from Arets's own writing, and critical essays by Xavier Costa, Anthony Vidler, Greg Lynn, Stan Allen and Bart Lootsma.

Описание: Education for Democratic Intercultural Citizenship (EDIC) is very relevant in contemporary societies. All citizens, but in particular teachers, curriculum developers, educational policy makers, and educational professionals in civil society (NGOs) have a crucial role in this. Seven European universities are working together in developing a curriculum to prepare their students for this important academic, societal and political task. As part of an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership they each develop a module in the area of moral, intercultural and citizenship education. All modules are international and inquiry oriented, and make links with society. In this book the leading scholars write the theoretical background of their module, their curriculum guidelines and goals, the concrete programmes, and the experiences of students. The universities had an annual intensive programme in which students and teachers of all universities came together to have try-outs of parts of the modules. These programmes contributed strongly to the network building of researchers, teachers and students. The activities have given a strong stimulus to the implementation of Education for Democratic Intercultural Citizenship in the participating universities and in educational organisations worldwide. The experiences show both the necessity and the relevance of this topic and this kind of collaboration.

Описание: No one tells people to move to cities; people do so on their own. Unconscious City: Conversations with Wiel Arets, explores the unconscious decisions the world's citizens have collectively taken throughout the last few centuries, which are currently and invisibly, reshaping the sensory, physical, and emotional experiences of human beings, when navigating the world's metropolises. Today, it's often that people must move to other cities, whereas in the past, such choices were made consciously, as they were based on rules, or tradition. Then, people belonged to a certain religion, society, or family-which defined their existence. In 1965 Jean-Luc Godard's film Alphaville, showed to the world that the new human being would-one day soon-live in a new, nomadic condition. That day has arrived; tomorrow, the situation will be amplified to unknown heights. This book speculates upon what may soon happen to the world's metropolises, and how the human condition might change, as a result. Today, we navigate by flying between continents; each continent contains a treasure trove of unique neighborhoods-cities. We should no longer speak about cities of the past, and instead discuss the world becoming one cosmopolis: The Unconscious City.

Описание:
Aqua the farm dog really loves to swim.
Sometimes the farmer gets angry at him.
Instead of herding sheep he loves to splash.
Diving under water in a flash.
When the rain falls and the water levels rise.
A lesson is learnt of immeasurable size.
When a flood puts his talents to the test.
Is swimming what Aqua Dog does best?
