Self-Tracking, Health and Medicine: Sociological Perspectives
by Deborah LuptonSelf-tracking practices are part of many health and medical domains. The introduction of digital technologies such as smartphones, tablet computers, apps, social media platforms, dedicated patient support sites and wireless devices for medical monitoring has contributed to the expansion of opportunities for people to engage in self-tracking of their bodies and health and illness states. The contributors to this book cover a range of self-tracking techniques, contexts and geographical locations: fitness tracking using the wearable Fitbit device in the UK; English adolescent girls’ use of health and fitness apps; stress and recovery monitoring software and devices in a group of healthy Finns; self-monitoring by young Australian illicit drug users; an Italian diabetes self-care program using an app and web-based software; and ‘show-and-tell’ videos uploaded to the Quantified Self website about people’s experiences of self-tracking. Major themes running across the collection include the emphasis on self-responsibility and self-management on which self-tracking rationales and devices tend to rely; the biopedagogical function of self-tracking (teaching people about how to be both healthy and productive biocitizens); and the reproduction of social norms and moral meanings concerning health states and embodiment (good health can be achieved through self-tracking, while illness can be avoided or better managed). This book was originally published as a special issue of the Health Sociology Review.
Self-Trust and Reproductive Autonomy
by Carolyn McleodThe power of new medical technologies, the cultural authority of physicians, and the gendered power dynamics of many patient-physician relationships can all inhibit women's reproductive freedom.
Selfish Mind, Slavish Body: A Quest Into Self-Identity
by Laljee VermaEvery thought, sensation, observation, and emotion is mediated by the mind, and it underpins everything that constitutes the perceived reality. But despite an exponential growth in our understanding of the mind, accounting for its nature and implications remain elusive. Selfish Mind, Slavish Body is an enlightening odyssey that investigates the fundamental nature of mind, individuality, and the self. The book distils the wisdom from both, the Eastern and Western religions, teachings of great philosophers, and profound insights from contemporary science into a singular, comprehensive source. The strength of the book lies in its attempt to simplify and unite the diverse viewpoints and conceptions from various fields. Some of the key concepts addressed in the book include: • The religious, cultural, and environmental influences that shape our perception of the world and self-identity. • The relationship between the conscious mind and the physical brain. • The conjunction between mind and the material world. • The intricacies of consciousness, subconsciousness, and ego. To put it succinctly, Selfish Mind, Slavish Body is an ambitious and creative endeavour that provides a fresh perspective on the architecture of self to uncover and understand what really resides behind what we call &‘I&’.
Sellars and Contemporary Philosophy (Routledge Studies in American Philosophy)
by David Pereplyotchik Deborah R. BarnbaumWilfrid Sellars made profound and lasting contributions to nearly every area of philosophy. The aim of this collection is to highlight the continuing importance of Sellars’ work to contemporary debates. The contributors include several luminaries in Sellars scholarship, as well as members of the new generation whose work demonstrates the lasting power of Sellars’ ideas. Papers by O’Shea and Koons develop Sellars’ underexplored views concerning ethics, practical reasoning, and free will, with an emphasis on his longstanding engagement with Kant. Sachs, Hicks and Pereplyotchik relate Sellars’ views of mental phenomena to current topics in cognitive science and philosophy of mind. Fink, deVries, Price, Macbeth, Christias, and Brandom grapple with traditional Sellarsian themes, including meaning, truth, existence, and objectivity. Brandhoff provides an original account of the evolution of Sellars’ philosophy of language and his project of "pure pragmatics". The volume concludes with an author-meets-critics section centered around Robert Brandom’s recent book, From Empiricism to Expressivism: Brandom Reads Sellars, with original commentaries and replies.
The Seller of Secrets: A Memoir
by Kathleen Rose MorganMother was an emotionally damaged woman shrouded in depression and dark secrets. Father was a man plagued by alcoholism who lived in a state of drunken evasion for many years before jumping ship. Kathleen Rose Morgan was born into this troubled family and merged with a community plagued by toxic male aggression, submissive women, wannabe Mafia brutes, charlatan holy men and women, and lurid and criminal goings–on—all made possible by cheek-turners, complicit and fearful enablers, and an ever-present, overarching code of silence.This is the story of the poignant journey Kathleen embarks upon after the long-hidden details of her trauma finally come to light—a quest to seek deep healing through truth, nature, energy medicine, and after-death communication. After a shocking deathbed confession from Mother, Kathleen’s healing path joins an investigation into a shadowy past where the puzzle of repressed memories and childhood secrets is painstakingly assembled. Raw and intense, The Seller of Secrets is a memoir of how early adverse experiences shape a fractured life with limitations, and how freeing oneself from fear and the muteness of shame is the key to true happiness.

Selling Immunity Self, Culture and Economy in Healthcare and Medicine (Critical Approaches to Health)
by Mark DavisSelling Immunity: Self, Culture and Economy in Healthcare and Medicine provides a groundbreaking study of the ways in which immunity shapes life. Through its up-to-date discussion of immunity cultures, alongside detailed real-world examples, the book demonstrates how immunity is enmeshed in concepts of possessive individualism, self-defence and health consumerism. The book explores the rich metaphorical powers of immunity and the life narratives it inspires with reference to the talk of scientists, immunology texts and popular science magazines. The author provides a detailed overview of the ways in which digital media can shape the immune self with reference to cultural and social theories, providing insight into how immunitary knowledge and products are consumed and the benefits and drawbacks this has for healthcare. The book considers the significance of immunity for individuals navigating the threats to health that arise with pandemics and superbugs, with a keen look into how these ideas surface in everyday life across the globe. Finally, the book also discusses economic bases of healthcare technologies bent towards the protection and restoration of immunity. This book is essential reading for professionals within the fields of psychology, sociology, biomedical science, healthcare and other related disciplines. A broader audience will appreciate the book’s attention on the ways immunity is understood to be a personal possession, an object of life craft, and the basis for healthcare consumerism.

Selling Our Souls: The Commodification of Hospital Care in the United States
by Adam Dalton ReichHealth care costs make up nearly a fifth of U.S. gross domestic product, but health care is a peculiar thing to buy and sell. Both a scarce resource and a basic need, it involves physical and emotional vulnerability and at the same time it operates as big business. Patients have little choice but to trust those who provide them care, but even those providers confront a great deal of medical uncertainty about the services they offer. Selling Our Souls looks at the contradictions inherent in one particular health care market—hospital care. Based on extensive interviews and observations across the three hospitals of one California city, the book explores the tensions embedded in the market for hospital care, how different hospitals manage these tensions, the historical trajectories driving disparities in contemporary hospital practice, and the perils and possibilities of various models of care.As Adam Reich shows, the book's three featured hospitals could not be more different in background or contemporary practice. PubliCare was founded in the late nineteenth century as an almshouse in order to address the needs of the destitute. HolyCare was founded by an order of nuns in the mid-twentieth century, offering spiritual comfort to the paying patient. And GroupCare was founded in the late twentieth century to rationalize and economize care for middle-class patients and their employers. Reich explains how these legacies play out today in terms of the hospitals' different responses to similar market pressures, and the varieties of care that result.Selling Our Souls is an in-depth investigation into how hospital organizations and the people who work in them make sense of and respond to the modern health care market.
Selling Sickness: How the World's Biggest Pharmaceutical Companies Are Turning Us All Into Patients
by Ray Moynihan Alan CasselsThis book presents a valuable counterweight to the mind-numbing barrage of unproven diagnoses and just plain dysinformation that haunts the airwaves and even some medical journals.
Selling Sickness
by Ray Moynihan Alan CasselsIn this hard-hitting indictment of the pharmaceutical industry, Ray Moynihan and Allan Cassels show how drug companies are systematically using their dominating influence in the world of medical science, drug companies are working to widen the very boundaries that define illness. Mild problems are redefined as serious illness, and common complaints are labeled as medical conditions requiring drug treatments. Runny noses are now allergic rhinitis, PMS has become a psychiatric disorder, and hyperactive children have ADD.Selling Sickness reveals how expanding the boundaries of illness and lowering the threshold for treatments is creating millions of new patients and billions in new profits, in turn threatening to bankrupt national healthcare systems all over the world. This Canadian edition includes an introduction placing the issue in a Canadian context and describing why Canadians should be concerned about the problem.
Sem Resposta: Quando tudo é Respondido
by Kunal Narayan UniyalDesde os primórdios da existência, a humanidade rebuscou o fugitivo elixir da paz, da felicidade e da tranquilidade. Os seus esforços concentraram-se na criação de um caminho e um destino que levassem a uma imaculada e duradoira felicidade, a um estilo de vida distinto de uma pureza divina e a uma existência baseada no livre arbítrio. Muitos empreenderam este árduo caminho e fracassaram, seja parcialmente que lastimosamente. Todavia, a pesquisa sempre conservou o seu fascínio. Acumulam-se riquezas materiais, persegue-se o sucesso e forçam-se relações para colmatar um vazio que, nesta pesquisa, não é possível preencher. Este livro procura preencher algum vazio, responder algumas destas incertezas e dar voz algumas reflexões não exprimidas; fala de um percurso que liberta e eleva. Esta colectânea não é apenas uma articulação da natureza da pesquisa, mas também dos obstáculos que se encontram no caminho que leva a perceber quem somos; é também uma tentativa para perceber a natureza incógnita, aquele enigma ilusório e fascinante que nós conhecemos como “maya”. Todos os artigos, e as poesias, deste livro são baseados na minha experiencia pessoal com a “verdade”, assim como cheguei a conhecê-la. O meu navegar no oceano da espiritualidade conduziu-me às margens da certeza, da paz e da consciência daquilo que sou hoje. Esta obra é uma humilde tentativa para explicar a natureza da minha viagem. Ficarei feliz se servirá também a outros para encontrar a “Luz”. Não sou que o teu instrumento. Ámen.

Semantic Externalism (New Problems of Philosophy)
by Jesper KallestrupSemantic externalism is the view that the meanings of referring terms, and the contents of beliefs that are expressed by those terms, are not fully determined by factors internal to the speaker but are instead bound up with the environment. The debate about semantic externalism is one of the most important but difficult topics in philosophy of mind and language, and has consequences for our understanding of the role of social institutions and the physical environment in constituting language and the mind. In this long-needed book, Jesper Kallestrup provides an invaluable map of the problem. Beginning with a thorough introduction to the theories of descriptivism and referentialism and the work of Frege and Kripke, Kallestrup moves on to analyse Putnam’s Twin Earth argument, Burge’s arthritis argument and Davidson’s Swampman argument. He also discusses how semantic externalism is at the heart of important topics such as indexical thoughts, epistemological skepticism, self-knowledge, and mental causation. Including chapter summaries, a glossary of terms, and an annotated guide to further reading, Semantic Externalism an ideal guide for students studying philosophy of language and philosophy of mind.
Semantics and the Body: Meaning from Frege to the Postmodern
by Horst RuthrofIn traditional semantics, the human body tends to be ignored in the process of constructing meaning. Horst Ruthrof argues, by contrast, that the body is an integral part of this hermeneutic activity. Strictly language-based theories, and theories which conflate formal and natural languages, run into problems when they describe how we communicate in cultural settings. Semantics and the Body proposes that language is no more than a symbolic grid which does not signify at all unless it is brought to life by non-linguistic signs.Ruthrof reviews and analyses various 'orthodox' theories of meaning, from the views of Gottlob Frege at the beginning of the twentieth century to those of theorists in the postmodern period, then offers an alternative approach of his own. His theory features 'corporeal semantics,' and holds that meaning has ultimately to do with the body and that the meaning of linguistic expressions is indeterminate without the aid of visual, tactile, olfactory, and other bodily signs. This approach also remedies what Ruthrof sees also as a loss of interpretive will in the postmodern era.Pedagogy in many fields could be enriched by a systemic integration of non-verbal semiosis into the linguistically dominated syllabus. Those involved in discourse analysis, literature, art criticism, film theory, pedagogy, and philosophy will find the implications of Ruthrof's study considerable.

Señales en el cielo: Lo que nunca se contó. Ovnis, telepatía, mundos subterráneos y profecías
by Fabio ZerpaFabio Zerpa cuenta sus inicios, y condensa sesenta años de investigación recorriendo el mundo y entrevistando a personas que aseguran haber visto objetos voladores. Profecías, teorías, vidas paralelas y mundos subterráneos. 17 de noviembre de 1959. Fabio Zerpa, un joven actor que ocupaba un sitio incipiente pero importante en el teatro y la televisión, estaba grabando escenas en una base aérea. Durante el descanso, el piloto que hacía de su doble de riesgo lo invitó a dar un paseo en avioneta. Ascendieron a ochocientos metros de altura. Volaban señalándose curiosidades del paisaje, bromeando, cuando de pronto el piloto se puso serio y le indicó a Fabio que mirara a su izquierda y detrás. "Yo giré la cabeza para ver más allá de la cola del avión y vi algo así como un bolígrafo metálico plateado de unos ciento cincuenta metros de largo volando, siguiéndonos -recuerda Zerpa-. Increíblemente, se detuvo un instante frente a la cabina de nuestro avión. Y, de pronto, realizó un movimiento de sesenta grados y se perdió en el cielo a gran velocidad, hacia el norte. Todo en silencio. Estaba muy impresionado. Busqué en ese cielo clarísimo una nueva señal, pero nada. Así como había aparecido, había dejado su ausencia, tan enorme como mi asombro." La visión de ese objeto marcaría su destino para siempre. Como al mejor de los artistas o de los sabios, a Fabio Zerpa lo fascinó un misterio y le dedicó su vida. Durante sesenta años investigó, se entrevistó con personas de todo el mundo, y fue detrás de pistas y datos que documentó con fervor y precisión. Este libro es una historia de vida, la de un hombre que convirtió sus días en una película de ciencia ficción; pero también la búsqueda incansable y monumental de respondernos: "¿Qué hay más allá?". «Conocí a Fabio Zerpa en los años setenta. Ya era un gran investigador. Su trabajo ha sido titánico. Solo los que investigamos por las carreteras lo sabemos. La historia, algún día, le hará justicia.» Juan José Benítez
