Neuware - Sprekende handen is een uniek werkboek met een methodiek voor ontmoetingsgroepen met en voor dementerende mensen, wonend op psychogeriatrische afdelingen in verpleeg- en verzorgingshuizen.De methodiek is in de praktijk ontwikkeld en sluit aan bij die stromingen in de ouderenzorg die de beleving van oude mensen zelf, en de aandacht voor hun eigen levensverhaal centraal stellen.

Vervolgens worden 46 uitgewerkte programma's voor groepsbijeenkomsten beschreven, die als kapstok dienen voor de bijeenkomsten. Als thema voor deze programma's is gekozen Sprekende handen , waarbij de handen de levensverhalen van ouderen symboliseren.Dit werkboek bevat extra materiaal op de website met filmfragmenten van een bijeenkomst van een ontmoetingsgroep, die de tekst nader illustreren. In het boek zijn verwijzingen opgenomen naar deze filmfragmenten.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Investigating the current interest in obesity and fatness, this book explores the problems and ambiguities that form the lived experience of 'fat' women in contemporary Western society. Engaging with dominant ideas about 'fatness', and analysing the assumptions that inform anti-fat attitudes in the West, The 'Fat' Female Body explores the moral panic over the 'obesity epidemic', and the intersection of medicine and morality in pathologising 'fat' bodies. It contributes to the emerging field of fat studiesby offering not only alternative understandings of subjectivity, the (re)production of public knowledge(s) of 'fatness', and politics of embodiment, but also the possibility of (re)reading 'fat' bodies to foster more productive social relations. 196 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Myths and Fairy Tales in Contemporary Women's Fiction explores contemporary feminist, postmodernist, and postcolonial women writers' use and revisions of fairy tales and myths. With close readings of works ranging from Margaret Atwood to Doris Lessing to Toni Morrison, Wilson examines meanings of myths and fairy tales as well as their varying techniques, images, intertexts, and genres. Although the writers represent several different nationalities and racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds, they employ a type of postcolonial literature that urges readers and societies beyond colonization. Wilson argues that the use of myths and fairy tales generally convey characters' transformation from alienation and symbolic amputation to greater consciousness, community, and wholeness, and it is in and through story that characters construct a hybrid way of establishing themselves in the larger world. 207 pp. Englisch.
