The Ethics of Gender-Specific Disease - Mary Ann Cutter - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Ethics of Gender-Specific Disease - Mary Ann Cutter - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Our understanding of gender carries significant bioethical implications. An errant account of gender-specific disease can lead to overgeneralizations, undergeneralizations, and misdiagnoses. It can also lead to problems in the structure of health-care delivery, the creation of policy, and the development of clinical curricula. In this volume, Cutter argues that gender-specific disease and related bioethical discourses are philosophically integrative. Gender-specific disease is integrative because the descriptive roles of gender, disease, and their relation are inextricably tied to their prescriptive roles within frames of reference. An integrative account of gender-specific disease carries ethical implications because our understanding of gender-specific disease is evaluative, and our evaluations of gender-specific disease entail judgments concerning the praiseworthiness and blameworthiness of a clinical event. Cutter supports a "both/and" emphasis on context and integration in relation to gender-specific disease and bioethical analyses. While the text mainly focuses on gender-specific diseases that affect women, Cutter also includes examples involving men, children, and members of the LGBT community.

The Diamond Cutter Sutra - Khenpo Sodargye - Bog - Wisdom Publications,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

The Diamond Cutter Sutra - Khenpo Sodargye - Bog - Wisdom Publications,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

Khenpo Sodargye translates and provides commentary on the Diamond Cutter Sutra , the oldest printed book in China, shedding light on the Buddha’s teachings on how to destroy attachment without being led astray; the author is a household name in China and his books and CDs sell in the millions in China. In the profound teachings of the Diamond Cutter Sutra , the Buddha offers a view of the world that deconstructs our normal categories of experience to show us that what we think are real entities in the world are actually our conceptualizations. The Buddha teaches us to cut our attachment to all phenomena and to the “I,” which are empty of inherent existence, and in so doing, cut the root cause of our suffering. Yet without wise guidance we may think that because all phenomena are empty there is no need to be attached to virtue, and thus we fall into the worst trap of all—an attachment to emptiness. How do we destroy our attachment without being led astray? With this question in mind, Dzogchen Master Khenpo Sodargye provides sparkling commentary on the Diamond Cutter Sutra so that we understand its actual meaning, thus preparing us to understand the view of the Great Perfection and Mahamudra. Before recognizing the nature of the mind, we learn we must hold on to things that are virtuous and right. Like a boat, these can help us cross a river; until we reach the other shore, it makes no sense to give them up.

Lost and Found in Translation - Martha J. Cutter - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Lost and Found in Translation - Martha J. Cutter - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Starting with Salman Rushdie''s assertion that even though something is always lost in translation, something can always be gained, Martha Cutter examines the trope of translation in twenty English-language novels and autobiographies by contemporary ethnic American writers. She argues that these works advocate a politics of language diversity--a literary and social agenda that validates the multiplicity of ethnic cultures and tongues in the United States.Cutter studies works by Asian American, Native American, African American, and Mexican American authors. She argues that translation between cultures, languages, and dialects creates a new language that, in its diversity, constitutes the true heritage of the United States. Through the metaphor of translation, Cutter demonstrates, writers such as Maxine Hong Kingston, Sherman Alexie, Toni Morrison, and Richard Rodriguez establish a place within American society for the many languages spoken by multiethnic and multicultural individuals. Cutter concludes with an analysis of contemporary debates over language policy, such as English-only legislation, the recognition of Ebonics, and the growing acceptance of bilingualism. The focus on translation by so many multiethnic writers, she contends, offers hope in our postmodern culture for a new condition in which creatively fused languages renovate the communications of the dominant society and create new kinds of identity for multicultural individuals.

Unruly Tongue - Martha J. Cutter - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Unruly Tongue - Martha J. Cutter - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

In a society perceiving that language was for the province of male, white speakers, how did women writers find a voice? Martha J. Cutter answers this question by examining works by ten African American and Anglo American women who wrote between 1850 and 1930. She shows that female writers in this period perceived how male-centered and racist ideas on language had silenced them. By adopting voices that are maternal, feminine, and ethnic, they broke the link between masculinity and voice and created new forms of language that empowered them and their female characters.With historical writings and with recent studies by feminist theorists, Cutter shows that the problem of language has been among the foremost concerns of American women writers. Such authors as Fanny Fern, Harriet Wilson, and Louisa May Alcott employed domestic voices that did not undermine constraining ideas of "women''s speech." Later writers, including Anna Julia Cooper, Mary Wilkins Freeman, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Frances Harper, and Kate Chopin, moved towards more unruly concepts of women''s language. In doing so, they enabled such twentieth-century writers as Willa Cather and Jessie Fauset to create voices that work from within masculine and racist conceptions of language to undermine them.The "unruly tongue" of nineteenth-century writing initiated an important shift in American culture and literature. It was a new kind of feminine voice that attempted to theorize and finally dismantle constraining views on women''s speech. These writers challenged not only who has access to an enfranchised voice but also the larger power structures undergirding language itself. In so doing, they created a new frontier of language that breaks the silence of the centuries.Martha J. Cutter is a professor of English at the University of Connecticut.

Tool & Cutter Sharpening - Harold Hall - Bog - Fox Chapel Publishers International - Plusbog.dk

Tool & Cutter Sharpening - Harold Hall - Bog - Fox Chapel Publishers International - Plusbog.dk

Sharpening workshop tools is probably the most diverse of all workshop activities and the one that is least understood by the majority of workshop owners. This is not unreasonable in view of the wide range of equipment suggested for the task, ranging from the complex, typically an industrial tool and cutter grinder, through to the humble off hand grinder. This book illustrates how most sharpening tasks can be carried out using an off hand grinder and a few simply made accessories, whilst doing this to a standard comparable to that achieved using much more sophisticated equipment. A lack of understanding of the processes almost certainly results in the workshop owner attempting tasks with far from perfect cutting tools that can diminish the satisfaction of a job well done. With the information in this book this situation can be avoided and working with blunt tooling should be a thing of the past.
