Conisbee Molly: No Ordinary Deaths / B

No Ordinary Deaths

A People's History of Mortality

Cultural History and Historical Culture

This volume explores the changing field of cultural history to map out its new developments and future directions, covering major themes such as environment, digitization, heritage and identity.

Cultural History for a Changing World

*Longlisted for the Cundill History Prize* What would women do with their lives if they had more time? The riveting, untold story of a revolutionary campaign to change the way work is valued 'The women of the world are serving notice. We want wages for every dirty toilet, every indecent assault, every painful childbirth, every cup of coffee and every smile. And if we don't get what we want, we will simply refuse to work any longer!' Across the globe in the 1970s, a network of feminists distilled their struggles into a single demand: Wages for Housework! Today, it remains a provocative idea, and an unfulfilled promise. Here historian Emily Callaci tells the story of this campaign by exploring the lives and ideas of its key creators, tracing their wildly creative political vision over the past five decades: from the early 1970s, when Selma James, a working-class political organizer, and Mariarosa Dalla Costa, a scholar-activist, started laying the foundations of Wages for Housework in London and Italy; through philosopher Silvia Federici reframing the campaign in the context of New York City's fiscal crisis; to Wilmette Brown, lesbian poet and anti-war activist, and Margaret Prescod, community organizer, who brought the insights of Black feminism to the movement. Drawing on new archival research and extensive interviews, Callaci takes us deep inside the heart of the movement as it reached across Europe, America, Africa and the Caribbean. For these women, the wage was more than a demand for money: it was a starting point for remaking the world as we know it, imagining potential futures under capitalism - and beyond. Then as now, Wages for Housework poses profound questions. What would it be like to live in a society that prioritizes care rather than production? How would this change our relationship with the natural world? And what would women do with their lives if they had more time?

Edition Medienwissenschaft

In einer global vernetzten, digital durchdrungenen Welt genügt es nicht mehr, in geschlossenen Systemen zu denken. Der Blick richtet sich vielmehr auf das, was Systeme verbindet und definiert: das Spiel der Schnittstellen. Als Orte der Übertragung, Filterung, Übersetzung und Sinnbildung werden sie zu den zentralen Erkenntnisobjekten überhaupt. Zwischen Mensch und Maschine, Kultur und Technik, Sprache und Material ermöglichen sie nicht nur Austausch, sondern auch ständige Veränderung. Christian Stein führt interdisziplinäre Perspektiven aus&nbsp;Medien-, Kultur-, Technik- und Naturwissenschaften zusammen.&nbsp;So öffnet er ein neues Denken - eines, das Schnittstellen offenlegt und zu ihrer aktiven Mit- und Umgestaltung anregt.

'Unforgettable'SUNDAY TIMES'Courageous'OBSERVER'One of the most important books to be published in years' SARA COLLINS'There are few writers with Li's power'DOUGLAS STUARTThe best book I have read this year' DAVID NICHOLLS'I will return to it for the rest of my life' CHARLOTTE WOODA remarkable, defiant work of radical acceptance from acclaimed Pulitzer Prize finalist Yiyun Li as she considers the loss of her son James.'There is no good way to say this,' Yiyun Li writes at the beginning of this book.'There is no good way to state these facts, which must be acknowledged. My husband and I had two children and lost them both: Vincent in 2017, at sixteen, James in 2024, at nineteen. Both chose suicide, and both died not far from home.'There is no good way to say this - because words fall short. It takes only an instant for death to become fact, 'a single point in a timeline'. Living now on this single point, Li turns to thinking and reasoning and searching for words that might hold a place for James. Li does what she can: including not just writing but gardening, reading Camus and Wittgenstein, learning the piano, and living thinkingly alongside death.This is a book for James, but it is not a book about grieving. As Li writes, 'The verb that does not die is to be. Vincent was and is and will always be Vincent. James was and is and will always be James. We were and are and will always be their parents. There is no now and then, now and later, only, now and now and now and now.' Things in Nature Merely Grow is a testament to Li's indomitable spirit.As seen in the New Yorker, Vanity Fair, LA Times, TIME, and the Paris Review.'To state that this courageous book is a testament to love is an understatement. One is left altered by it'OBSERVER'A story of loss that is unlike any other book I've read ... an unforgettable monument to endurance'SUNDAY TIMES'Resolutely unsentimental, and yet it might wind you with its emotional force'GUARDIAN'A memoir unlike others, strange and profound and fiercely determined not to look away'NEW YORK TIMES'An extraordinary book' SARAH MOSS'A manifesto of living, not dying, and of how we endure the most unimaginable things' SINÉAD GLEESON, in THE WEEK'A profound look at how a parent continues to live in a world without her children'TIME'A book unlike any I've read, that brims with rare clarity and intelligence, with love and care.

Palgrave Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Medicine

Surviving the demise of his humoral pathology and anatomy, Galen’s works on simple and compound remedies (the so-called ‘galenicals’) formed the backbone of Western pharmacology up until the Industrial Revolution. Over its long and multicultural tradition—spanning the Roman Empire and Byzantium, through Islamicate societies, India, and China, to the New World and even Japan—Galenic pharmacopoeia evolved to incorporate new remedies, foods, philosophical rationales, and modes of preparation, including chemical ones. Despite its endurance, a systematic exploration of the use of galenicals beyond the Renaissance remains overdue.
Addressing this gap, the contributions in this volume bring together leading scholars who illuminate how this medical tradition unfolded in the early modern period and its underlying dynamics, often drawing on new or overlooked archival material. Challenging the prevailing narrative of decline, they examine how pharmacological knowledge was transmitted across languages and medical traditions. Each contribution highlights an aspect of the various conceptual adaptations this process entailed, including textual transmission, debates over the structure of matter, occult qualities, dosage quantification, apothecary regulations, patient treatment, and the integration of galenicals into household medicine. Special attention is also given to the commodification of materia medica in Atlantic trade, while a comprehensive introduction contextualises the main themes of Galen’s post-Renaissance legacy and explores the reasons for its enduring vitality.
