The Legitimacy Of Medical Treatment: What Role For The Medical Exception?
by Sara Fovargue Alexandra MullockWhenever the legitimacy of a new or ethically contentious medical intervention is considered, a range of influences will determine whether the treatment becomes accepted as lawful medical treatment. The development and introduction of abortion, organ donation, gender reassignment, and non-therapeutic cosmetic surgery have, for example, all raised ethical, legal, and clinical issues. This book examines the various factors that legitimatise a medical procedure. Bringing together a range of internationally and nationally recognised academics from law, philosophy, medicine, health, economics, and sociology, the book explores the notion of a treatment, practice, or procedure being proper medical treatment, and considers the range of diverse factors which might influence the acceptance of a particular procedure as appropriate in the medical context. Contributors address such issues as clinical judgement and professional autonomy, the role of public interest, and the influence of resource allocation in decision-making. In doing so, the book explores how the law, the medical profession, and the public interact in determining whether a new or ethically contentious procedure should be regarded as legitimate. This book will be of interest and use to researchers and students of bioethics, medical law, criminal law, and the sociology of medicine. 9781138819634 9781315744308

Foucault's Monsters And The Challenge Of Law
by Andrew Neville SharpeIn contrast to other figures generated within social theory for thinking about outsiders, such as Rene Girard s scapegoat and Zygmunt Bauman s stranger, Foucault s Monsters and the Challenge of Law suggests that the figure of the monster offers greater analytical precision and explanatory power in relation to understanding the processes whereby outsiders are constituted. The book draws on Michel Foucault s theoretical and historical treatment of the category of the monster, in which the monster is regarded as the effect of a double breach: of law and nature. For Foucault, the monster does not simply refer to a particular kind of morphological or psychological irregularity; for the body or psyche in question must also pose a threat to the categorical structure of law. In chronological terms, Foucault moves from a preoccupation with the bestial human in the Middle Ages to a concern over Siamese or conjoined twins in the Renaissance period, and ultimately to a focus on the hermaphrodite in the Classical Age. But, although Foucault s theoretical framework for understanding the monster is affirmed here, this book's study of an English legal history of the category monster challenges some of Foucault s historical claims. In addition to considering this legal history, the book also addresses the contemporary relevance of Foucault s theoretical framework. Structured around Foucault s archetypes and the category crises they represent admixed embryos, conjoined twins and transsexuals the book analyses their challenge to current distinctions between human and animal, male and female, and the idea of the proper legal subject as a single embodied mind. These contemporary figures, like the monsters of old, are shown to threaten the rigidity and binary structure of a law that still struggles to accommodate them. "

Social Justice Re-examined: Dilemmas And Solutions For The Classroom Teacher (PDF)
by Rowena Arshad Terry Wrigley Lynne Pratt Ian MenterTeachers want to do their best for every child. But research shows that as diversities in the classroom proliferate, they are worried about dealing with values issues lest they cause offence or appear insensitive to difference. The answers to the complex situations that arise nowadays as a result of diversity are seldom straightforward. This book offers honest discussions about what are seen as difficult or controversial issues. Social Justice Re-Examined provides ideas and approaches for the classroom and helps teachers negotiate their way through concepts and value differences, so they can help bring about constructive change. Theoretical as well as practical, the book looks from inside out - from the perspective of the teacher. Many of the chapters are written by teachers and each features key questions and suggested readings. Chapters such as "Not much I can do - he's got ADHD" or "I'm not homophobic but I find this area difficult" encourage teachers to model for their pupils the ways in which to think and learn. The book is essential reading for student teachers, beginning teachers and teacher trainers but will be invaluable for experienced teachers too, as they navigate their work in a constantly diversifying society.

Disability In The Arab Ottoman World, 1500-1800 (PDF)
by Sara ScalenghePhysical, sensory, and mental impairments can influence an individual's status in society as much as the more familiar categories of gender, class, religion, race, and ethnicity. This was especially true of the early modern Arab Ottoman world, where being judged able or disabled impacted every aspect of a person's life, including performance of religious ritual, marriage, job opportunities, and the ability to buy and sell property. Sara Scalenghe's book is the first on the history of both physical and mental disabilities in the Middle East and North Africa, and the first to examine disability in the non-Western world before the nineteenth century. Unlike previous scholarly works that examine disability as discussed in religious texts such as the Qur'an and the Hadith, this study focuses on representations and classifications of disability and impairment across a wide range of biographical, legal, medical, and divinatory primary sources. As such, this is a socio-cultural history that seeks to explain how blindness, deafness and muteness, intersex conditions, and certain mental impairments were understood and experienced in a specific Arab-Islamic context within the geographical area that includes present-day Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine/Israel under Ottoman rule in the early modern period. 9781107622791
Crotchet Castle
by Thomas Love PeacockCrotchet Castle (1831), his sixth novel, contains all the humour and social satire for which Peacock is famous. Its lively farce is more ambitious than that of the earlier works in its range of cultural and intellectual targets, including progressivism, dogmatism, liberalism, sexism, mass education and the idiocies of the learned. The book constitutes an artistic, political and philosophical miscellany of sorts, thematically unified in its satirical emphasis on folly and dispute – and on the folly of dispute itself.
