Book Synopsis The Keeper of the Stories by : Michael Levin MD
Download or read book The Keeper of the Stories written by Michael Levin MD and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-08-12 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Keeper of the Stories, I describe the devolution of the doctor-patient relationship through the lens of my career in medicine, showing how the value of intense listening, and a strong personal connection with patients, has been replaced by a system that treats doctors and patients as impersonal cogs in a vast medical machine designed to maximize profits for hospitals and insurance companies. Now, with no time to listen, doctors today are deprived of the subtle cues and relevant information that can be gathered about patients from hearing details of their life. Listening is especially important for patients who are elderly, infirm, or mentally illthose marginalized and vulnerable to the impersonal forces of a health-care system that sees them as potential expenses, not human beings. In the book, I present some of these stories, gathered to illustrate the surprising ways personal narrative can inform a doctors treatment or simply unburden a patient of painful memories. The fascinating narratives describe a diverse range of experience from survivors of horrors like the Holocaust to witnesses to major events in history. They are a testament to the remarkable lives we all lead.

Biggs is a Jamaican drug kingpin in charge of The Cobras, who own territory in Manhattan and The Bronx. They trade each other’s merchandise for the sake of their own territories. Eight years ago, someone started a “game” on the streets of New York City which is a more secure way to keep their territories safe and secure. Every crew on the streets has what is known as a “keeper” who is the only one keeping their most valuable secrets with something they call “the key”. If a key is taken from a keeper, everything they’ve ever had can be stolen and it could send them back to the bottom of the ranks. The keeper is the most protected person and they seem to seek each other out to steal each other’s key. The Reapers and The Cobras have been unknowingly seeking out each other’s keeper as both can provide full control to the entire city and one of them is the original keeper who started it all.

Both crews have their own agenda to get what they desperately want the most. Biggs and Mateo will stop at nothing to take each other’s territory no matter what the cost and to be the true kingpin of the city.

Download or read book Tattooed Bodies written by James Martell and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-20 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays collected in Tattooed Bodies draw on a range of theoretical paradigms and empirical knowledge to investigate tattoos, tattooing, and our complex relations with marks on skin. Engaging with diverse disciplinary perspectives in art history, continental philosophy, media studies, psychoanalysis, critical theory, literary studies, biopolitics, and cultural anthropology, the volume reflects the sheer diversity of meanings attributed to tattoos throughout history and across cultures. Essays explore conceptualizations of tattoos and tattooing in Derrida, Deleuze and Guattari, Lacan, Agamben, and Jean-Luc Nancy, while utilizing theoretical perspectives to interpret tattoos in literary works by Melville, Beckett, Kafka, Genet, and Jeff VanderMeer, among others. Tattooed Bodies prompts readers to explore a few significant questions: Are tattoos unique phenomena or an art medium in need of special theoretical exploration? If so, what conceptual paradigms and theories might best shape our understanding of tattoos and their complex ubiquity in world cultures and histories?
Book Synopsis Virtual Afterlives by : Candi K. Cann
Download or read book Virtual Afterlives written by Candi K. Cann and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For millennia, the rituals of death and remembrance have been fixed by time and location, but in the twenty-first century, grieving has become a virtual phenomenon. Today, the dead live on through social media profiles, memorial websites, and saved voicemails that can be accessed at any time. This dramatic cultural shift has made the physical presence of death secondary to the psychological experience of mourning. Virtual Afterlives investigates emerging popular bereavement traditions. Author Candi K. Cann examines new forms of grieving and evaluates how religion and the funeral industry have both contributed to mourning rituals despite their limited ability to remedy grief. As grieving traditions and locations shift, people are discovering new ways to memorialize their loved ones. Bodiless and spontaneous memorials like those at the sites of the shootings in Aurora and Newtown and the Boston Marathon bombing, as well as roadside memorials, car decals, and tattoos are contributing to a new bereavement language that crosses national boundaries and culture-specific perceptions of death. Examining mourning practices in the United States in comparison to the broader background of practices in Asia and Latin America, Virtual Afterlives seeks to resituate death as a part of life and mourning as a unifying process that helps to create identities and narratives for communities. As technology changes the ways in which we experience death, this engaging study explores the culture of bereavement and the ways in which it, too, is being significantly transformed.
