Femmes de lettres – Europäische Autorinnen des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts
Seit dem 15. Jahrhundert zählt die querelle des femmes in ganz Europa zu den zentralen Streitdiskursen. Streiten zunächst ausschließlich Männer, so postulieren ab dem 16. Jahrhundert zunehmend die Frauen selbst die Gleichwertigkeit der Geschlechter in ihrem Streben nach Bildung und aktiver Teilhabe an Kunst und Literatur. Dieser emanzipatorische Entwicklungsprozess wirkt als transkulturelles longue durée-Phänomen weit über die Renaissance hinaus. Im Zentrum dieses Buches stehen deshalb westeuropäische Autorinnen des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts, die nach ihrem Tod zu Unrecht in Vergessenheit gerieten. Mittels eines in gewisser Weise „postfeministisch aufgeklärten“ Verständnisses der Gynopoetik identifizieren die Beiträge ästhetische und poetologische Eigenheiten der Texte und analysieren im weitesten Sinne „proto-feministische“ Diskurse zwischen der Einschreibung in männlich dominierte Literaturtraditionen und deren innovativ-subversiver Brechung. So gelingt es, transkulturelle Gemeinsamkeiten der literarischen Emanzipationsdiskurse aufzudecken.
Humidification in the Intensive Care Unit
Inadequate humidification of inspired gases can cause a variety of serious problems, and humidification has accordingly become an important aspect of modern intensive care medicine. This book is designed to serve as a practical guide for clinicians, providing information on the theoretical background of humidification, the equipment, and its optimal use. The book starts by examining the physiological basis of humidification. Current devices are then discussed, with careful attention to factors influencing their performance and methods to evaluate their effectiveness. The two scenarios of mechanical and non-mechanical ventilation are considered, and the issue of ventilator-associated pneumonia is addressed in detail. Further chapters focus on such topics as humidification following tracheostomy, humidification of the artificial airway during secretion management, measurement of inspired gas temperature in the ventilated neonate, and humidification in the home care setting.

Regretting Motherhood
A provocative and deeply important study of women’s lives, women’s choices—and an ‘unspoken taboo’—that questions the societal pressures forcing women into motherhood Women who opt not to be mothers are frequently warned that they will regret their decision later in life, yet we rarely talk about the possibility that the opposite might also be true—that women who have children might regret it. Drawing on years of research interviewing women from a variety of socioeconomic, educational, and professional backgrounds, sociologist Orna Donath treats regret as a feminist issue: as regret marks the road not taken, we need to consider whether alternative paths for women currently are ...

Introduction to a Poetics of Diversity
This book consists of four lectures and six interviews; it covers a wide range of topics central to Glissant's thought - such as creolization, langage, culture and identity, 'atavistic' versus 'composite cultures' - presented in a particularly accessible form because here Glissant interacts with the views of other people.
Roma/Gypsies: A European Minority
The Roma/Gypsy community has been persecuted in Europe throughout history, whether through banishment, Roma/Gypsy hunts or the Roma/Gypsy Holocaust of the twentieth century.

The authors Jean-Pierre Liégeois and Nicolae Gheorghe, renowned experts on this subject, discuss European and international institutions’ responses to the growing sense of shared identity that exists among Roma/Gyps...
