Early life experiences of the author in the northern province of Zambia in Africa, and training in healthcare with subsequent employment in the mining industry healthcare owned jointly by the Anglo-American Corporation and the Government of the Republic of Zambia, mark the beginning of the journey of duty. After working for eight years from 1990 to 1998, this initial part of the journey of duty becomes full of challenging encounters and adventure stories associated with copper mining operations. Moving to Britain as a migrant worker marks the second part of the long journey of duty. Over the next 22 years, the author is immersed in the busy National Health Service (NHS), an umbrella organisation for thousands of hospitals and allied institutions. Experiencing the British way of life becomes fascinating but then part of this way of life is about how politics influence the way healthcare is delivered by the NHS which takes the centre stage throughout the rest of this book. The NHS tales about itsorigins, evolution, inspiring radical transformation in the 21st century, traffic light targets, and the dark times of scandals with red tape are quite revealing especially for people intending to work, train or are working as healthcare professionals. In the thick of it are some of the shining stars with rare qualities of fixing the broken parts of the healthcare systems that end this book.

This text consists of identifying literary elements with historical guidelines in eleven stories selected from three texts entitled Historia Secreta de Chile (Secret History of Chile) written by the Chilean Jorge Baradit. These narratives are framed in historical events that occurred in Chile between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries. Such stories, with historical glimpses, make up the analysis, the purpose of which is to elucidate the author's narrative style and identify elements typical of literature. Consequently, the study is preceded by a review of the cultural-literary framework in which literary and artistic terms such as postmodernism, contemporary literature and historical fiction are examined in depth, considering theorists from the 20th century onwards. In addition, an approach has been made to the artistic and literary movement known as Freak Power, to which the author Jorge Baradit belongs. Finally, four axes of analysis have been determined: discursive reconstruction between person-fact-character, symbolism of fire, dehumanisation of the self and recusation of the dictator. These themes are transversal in the stories chosen for this analysis.

Wahrnehmung und Einstellung der Bevölkerung zum Strafvollzug werden entscheidend von den ihr zur Verfügung stehenden Informationen geprägt. Fehleinschätzungen der Strafvollzugswirklichkeit sind das Ergebnis von wechselseitigen Kommunikationsprozessen, auf deren Ebenen, abhängig vom Strafvollzugszeitgeist, unterschiedliche Strafvollzugswirklichkeiten dargestellt werden. Aufgrund der spärlichen Informationsquellen der Bürger stellen die medialen Nachrichten mitunter die einzige Quelle dar, anhand derer die Rezipienten ihre Einstellung und Meinung zum Strafvollzug entwickeln. Ausgehend von diesen Überlegungen befasst sich die Dissertation mit der Frage, wie die lokale Presse über den Strafvollzug berichtet. Die Datengrundlage der Inhaltsanalyse bilden 1603 Presseartikel, die in der Meppener Tagespost erschienen sind.

For more than three decades, Gregory Crewdson has been luring viewers into the worlds of his cinematic, highly detailed, and assiduously crafted photographs. This retrospective catalog features images from nine series that represent a broad chronological spectrum of Crewdson's oeuvre. Included are selections from Twilight, the eerie and often darkly humorous photographs inspired by Stephen Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind; Beneath the Roses, which illuminates townscapes, forest clearings and broad, desolate streets with unsettling clarity; the black and white images of Sanctuary, shot on location at the legendary Cinecittà studios on the outskirts of Rome; Cathedral of the Pines, a paean to the beauty and tragedy of a gritty western Massachusetts town; and Eveningside, in which moments of alienation and wonder occur within the confines of quotidian life. With highest quality reproductions, paper changes, and incisive essays by photography expert Walter Moser and other esteemed art historians, this exhibition catalog reveals why Crewdson's powerful, elegiac and painterly photos draw comparisons to old master painting, staged photography and auteur cinema.

August 1991. Ich heiße Luca und schulde meiner Kollegin Cindy einen Besuch drüben im Osten, in ihrer alten Heimat. Cindy ist ein guter Kumpel, aber leider auch wahnsinnig anstrengend. Zum Glück sind ihre Nachbarn Ursula und Detlef vorbeigekommen, um mit uns ein paar Flaschen Wein zu köpfen. Während wir fröhlich Rosenthaler Kadarka in uns hineinschütten, verstärkt sich das ungute Gefühl, dass ich den Satz über Cindy und ihre Bekannten hinter dem Wort "wahnsinnig" beenden sollte. Und als der Sowjetsoldat Semjon auftaucht, nimmt meine Ost-Reise für alle Anwesenden eine "urst" ungesunde Wendung...

Bessy - Willbess - was a dancer, but that isn't all he did for money. He dreamed of leaving Zambia with his lover for the queer heaven of San Francisco. Grace Zulu was still fresh from the village, donning her suit and covering up her childhood scarifications each day to go to her corporate law job. Born with a highly developed sense of justice, she was excited to meet her first pro bono client; what she encounters in the jail cell, however, is a badly beaten boy with chipped teeth and an eye that's swollen shut. Within two weeks, Bessy has disappeared from custody - apparently released but no one sees him again. Navigating the baked-in homophobia of Zambia's colonial legacy, the confused hurt and rage of Bessy's nuclear family, and the tensions between Christian kindness and its propensity to hate the sinner, Grace must pursue her legal case while tracking down the wily, dangerous owner of the club where Bessy was first arrested.

”Hvem er russerne?” giver en indgående beskrivelse af Rusland, som det så ud i det første årti efter Sovjetunionens sammenbrud i 1991. Bogen fortæller blandt andet om de nye samfundsproblemer som stigende hjemløshed, kortere gennemsnitslevealder, krigsinvalider og en hær, der var ved at gå i opløsning. Samtidig beskriver den de forandrede kønsroller, den nye åbenhed og ytringsfrihed, der prægede Rusland i 1990’erne og den optimistiske forventning om, at fremtiden så lysere ud.”Hvem er russerne?” forsøger også at afdække, hvad der ligger i begrebet ’den russiske folkesjæl’, den særegne russiske kultur og landets dramatiske historie. Bogen udkom første gang i 2000.Peter Dalhoff-Nielsen (1924-2008) var en dansk journalist, forfatter og redaktør.

Western academics, experts, and journalists specializing in Eastern Europe, Russia and Eurasia have grappled with two fundamental analytical crises in connection with the 1991 disintegration of the USSR and Russiäs 2014 invasion of Ukraine. Both crises were brought about by a similar lack of understanding of Moscow¿s inability to view its neighbors, in particular Ukraine, as not possessing sovereignty and not treating them as independent states. Typically, they downplayed the historic and current role of Russian imperialism and nationalism.The book¿s contributors investigate how the Kremlin¿s recent turbo-charging of Russiäs information warfare, 24-hour TV, and social media activity has expanded on traditional pro-Russian sentiments among Western academics, experts, and journalists. The authors analyze the downplaying of Russian nationalism, misinterpretations of the 2014 crisis, sympathetic portrayals of Crimeäs occupation, and the use of the term ¿civil war¿ rather than ¿Russian-Ukrainian war¿ for the Donbas conflict in academia as well as the think tank world and media in the UK, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Japan, USA, and Canada.

Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio proposes a perception of reality and of what lies beyond it. The rational, the irrational and the transrational are fundamentally linked to this author's writing. His writing is a philosophy of existence, with all its certainties and uncertainties. Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio's writing is marked by reflection and perpetual questioning. One might even say that it is writing at the frontiers of human thought in its relationship to knowledge and truth. The questions that pile up in Leclézio's novels bear witness to a kind of repeated anxiety that runs through the stories and the characters.

This book aims to analyze the profiles of women built in the poetics of Chico Buarque, confronting myths and legends that projected the image of women over time, contributing to literary studies on the subject. Francisco Buarque de Hollanda, better known as Chico Buarque, is a musician, playwright and writer who became an icon in Brazilian culture, because when we talk about Brazilian popular music (MPB) in the decades of 1960 - 70 it is impossible not to make reference to Chico, due to his great contribution to the cultural scene of the country. Thus, the research aims to understand, through literary analysis, the meanings put in the songs of Chico Buarque, in which he thematizes the female figure, conflicting with the fact that the female is considered a social marginality, in various periods of history.

Sommer im Jahr 2000. Die Fahrt zum Nordkap soll für Julius und seinen besten Freund Markus ein unbekümmerter Roadtrip werden. Doch es kommt anders. Ganz anders. ..."Am Morgen des vierten Reisetages werde ich jäh von einer wütend schimpfenden Männerstimme aus dem Schlaf gerissen. Zudem wird am Zelt gerüttelt und gezogen. Wo bin ich?, frage ich mich, doch für eine Antwort bleibt keine Zeit.Noch im Halbschlaf taste ich nach Markus, aber der Platz neben mir ist leer. Ist er das da draußen? Verwirrt quäle ich mich aus dem Schlafsack und krabbele zögerlich durch das von dutzenden Mücken belagerte Vorzelt. Am Ende des Vorzeltes öffne ich den Reißverschluss und will hinaus ins Freie. Doch zwei stark behaarte Beine versperren mir den weiteren Weg. Beine, die nicht die von Markus sind, da bin ich mir sicher. Wessen Beine dann? Ich blicke nach oben und sehe zunächst nur Mensch, bevor mir gleißendes Sonnenlicht in die Augen sticht und das Bild vor mir in einem hellen Lichtkegel verschwindet.Ich weiß daher nicht, wie mir geschieht, als mich plötzlich eine kräftige Hand am rückseitigen Kragen meines T-Shirts packt und Kopf voran aus dem Zelt zieht. ..."
