Cultural Locations of Disability
by David T. Mitchell Sharon L. SnyderIn Cultural Locations of Disability, Sharon L. Snyder and David T. Mitchell trace how disabled people came to be viewed as biologically deviant. The eugenics era pioneered techniques that managed "defectives" through the application of therapies, invasive case histories, and acute surveillance techniques, turning disabled persons into subjects for a readily available research pool. In its pursuit of normalization, eugenics implemented disability regulations that included charity systems, marriage laws, sterilization, institutionalization, and even extermination. Enacted in enclosed disability locations, these practices ultimately resulted in expectations of segregation from the mainstream, leaving today's disability politics to focus on reintegration, visibility, inclusion, and the right of meaningful public participation. Snyder and Mitchell reveal cracks in the social production of human variation as aberrancy. From our modern obsessions with tidiness and cleanliness to our desire to attain perfect bodies, notions of disabilities as examples of human insufficiency proliferate. These disability practices infuse more general modes of social obedience at work today. Consequently, this important study explains how disabled people are instrumental to charting the passage from a disciplinary society to one based upon regulation of the self.

The Cultural Politics of the Paralympic Movement: Through an Anthropological Lens (Routledge Critical Studies in Sport)
by David HoweDo the Paralympic Games empower the disability sport community? Like many other contemporary sporting institutions, the Paralympic Games have made the transition from pastime to spectacle, and the profile of athletes with disabilities has been increased as a result. This book reviews the current status of the Paralympics and challenges the mainstream assumption that the Games are a vehicle for empowerment of the disabled community. Using ethnographic methods unique in this area of study, P. David Howe has undertaken an innovative and critical examination of the social, political and economic processes shaping the Paralympic Movement. In The Cultural Politics of the Paralympic Movement he presents his findings and offers a new insight into the relationship between sport, the body and the culture of disability. In doing so he has produced the most comprehensive and radical text about high performance sport for the disabled yet published. P. David Howe is Lecturer in the Sociology of Sport at Loughborough University. He is also a four-time Paralympian and former Athlete’s Representative to the International Paralympic Committee.

Culture and Mental Illness: A Client-Centered Approach
by Richard J. CastilloIn our increasingly multicultural global society, it has become important for practitioners to consider social and cultural factors when looking at the causes of, and treatments for, mental illness. The American Psychiatric Association recognized the role of culture in the recent DSM-IV. But the DSM-IV leaves practitioners wondering just how they should go about assessing those cultural factors. This book picks up where the DSM-IV leaves off.
Culture and Occupation: A Model of Empowerment in Occupational Therapy
by Roxie Black Shirley WellsSince Cultural Competency for Health Professionals was first published in 2000, much has changed in the world. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, have resulted in increased suspicion in the United States and around the world of people of Arab descent. In the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that began shortly thereafter, people from many countries have been killed or seriously wounded, among them U.S. service members whose injuries are significantly challenging health care practitioners in the armed services and Veterans Administration hospitals around the country. In addition, the United States is becoming an increasingly diverse nation, and advances in communications technology have made it possible to connect with cultures from around the world in an instant. In the world of occupational therapy, the concepts of occupational justice, community-based rehabilitation, and health disparities have been introduced and studied. AOTA's Centennial Vision has called for a culturally diverse occupational therapy workforce by 2017, the 100th anniversary of the profession. Also, the first culturally sensitive occupational therapy practice model, the Kawa Model, has been developed to provide a culturally appropriate intervention option for Japanese clients.
Culture and Politics on the Couch: Lacanian Interventions (The Palgrave Lacan Series)
by Thomas SvolosIn this book, Thomas Svolos tests the claim that a practicing psychoanalyst is afforded a unique perspective on issues of politics, social and cultural affairs, trained, as they are, to look out for that which is not readily transparent to a patient. This might be something opaque, something bizarre even, something that is part of the experience of the patient that they are not conscious of, what Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan called, at different points in their work, desire, libido, or, jouissance. It argues that by taking account, in one way or another, of desire, libido and jouissance, we might find another dimension to political, social and cultural matters, a dimension that is present, but generally opaque, to those who deal with them. In a series of original texts and edited dialogues, brought together for the first time, this lively and accessible work offers novel insights on topics ranging from race, climate change and partisan politics, to science fiction and Bruce Springsteen. It will appeal to students, scholars and those with a general interest in psychoanalysis, politics, cultural studies and critical theory.
Culture, Society and Sexuality: A Reader (Sexuality, Culture and Health)
by Richard Parker Peter AggletonThis new and revised edition of Culture, Society and Sexuality brings together and makes accessible a broad and international selection of readings to provide insights into the social, cultural, political and economic dimensions of sexuality and relationships, and emerging discourses around sexual and reproductive rights. Clearly structured and presented, the book makes an extremely useful reference for students and researchers. Section one focuses on the social and cultural construction of sexuality as an emerging field of inquiry over the course of recent decades, and examines some of the most important theoretical insights and areas of investigation that have emerged as this field has developed. Section two links research on the construction of sexuality to a growing body of work on gender and sexuality in relation to a wide range of practical issues and contemporary social policy debates. It is an essential reader not only for students and researchers in these areas, but also for activists, health workers and service providers, who daily confront practical and policy issues related to sexuality, sexual health and sexual rights.
Culture, Society And Sexuality: A Reader (Sexuality, Culture And Health Ser.)
by Richard Parker Peter AggletonSince the beginnings of time, people have been interested in sex - the form it takes, the pleasure it can give, the circumstances in which it occurs, and what it means - both for the individuals concerned and to society more generally. Often seen as a synonym for love, sometimes as an expression of power, and infrequently as a means of exploitation and abuse, sex is a complex and multi-faceted aspect of human behaviour that has been written about by numerous writers and theorists worldwide. This book offers an introduction to the central debates in sexuality research. Among the issues examined are the social and cultural dimensions of sex, human sexuality and sex research. It will be of use to students of sociology, cultural studies, and health and behavioural studies.

Cunnilingus: El mejor manual de sexo oral para hombres
by Kevin Scott¿Quieres darle a tu mujer el orgasmo más explosivo? Una actitud problemática que viene de las películas es que el sexo comienza y termina cuando el hombre se "acaba". Normalmente, eso se considera el clímax de hacer el amor. El problema con esto es que ignora completamente si las mujeres alcanzan el orgasmo durante el sexo. La verdad es que los hombres llegan al orgasmo más rápido que las mujeres. No tomes esto como una amenaza a tu virilidad. Lo que esto significa es que no se debe tratar el sexo en términos de si un hombre eyacula o no, sino que realmente se debe tratar del orgasmo de la mujer. La diferencia es a veces tan simple como usar diferentes formas de excitación. Por ejemplo, es importante estimular a la mujer durante los juegos preliminares, tocando y succionando su clítoris para excitarla. Esto le da una experiencia prolongada y la calienta para poder tener un orgasmo en primer lugar. A diferencia de los hombres, la excitación de las mujeres ocurre más gradualmente y se construye por anticipación. Por lo tanto, esta estimulación no debe ser considerada como algo incidental, sino como algo que puede hacer que el sexo dure más tiempo y resulte en más orgasmos. Existen muchos hombres que sinceramente se niegan a practicar el sexo oral a sus parejas por diversas razones, pero confía en mí, chupar a tu mujer hará que su clímax sea más rápido y te lo agradecerá. A las mujeres, como a los hombres, les encanta tener un sexo oral explosivo y permitir que tus miedos saquen lo mejor de ti, te impediría experimentar el máximo orgasmo celestial de tu estilo de vida sexual o darle un clímax clitorial igualmente entumecedor a tu chica. Así que, si quieres darle a tu mujer el orgasmo más inolvidable de su vida, supera tus temores y hazlo de una vez. Algunos hombres pueden incluso pensar que lo saben porque han "bajado" un par de veces en el pasado, pero te sorprenderá lo poco que sabes sobre cómo realizar esa al

Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs (second edition)
by Scott CunninghamNature has provided a veritable magical pantry in the plants which grow all over our planet. Since ancient times these plants have been used in magic- the practice of causing change by natural (albeit little-understood) powers. Though the medicinal properties of plants are fairly well-known-many of the most widely prescribed drugs are synthesized versions of substances originally derived from plants-their occult powers are less accessible. Much of their magic still lies in the shadow of secrecy. Our ancestors knew that plants had mysterious, magical powers. Although the magic in herbs has been forgotten by many, it has never disappeared. Return to the days when nature spirits dwelled in sacred groves and fairies danced in flower gardens. Inside this book you'll find magical uses for hundreds of plants: String a garland of marigolds above your door to keep evil from entering your home. Bury vervain around your house and in your house plants-wealth will flow and the plants will thrive. Carry a bag of orris root to attract love. Drink rosebud tea before bed to induce prophetic dreams. - Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs is a treasury of herb wisdom and lore from the Old and New Worlds. This comprehensive guidebook has all the information you need to practice magical herbalism. Tap into the power of plants and watch your magic blossom!
