Community, Autonomy & Informed Consent: Revisiting the Philosophical Foundation for Informed Consent in International Research
Pamela J. Lomelino
This book uses the example of informed consent guidelines for international research on human subjects to demonstrate how a philosophical analysis can assist in understanding how underlying concepts affect public policy; how and why such policies are exclusionary; and what methodology can be used to remedy injustices in public policy and practice.
Epidemics, such as AIDS, have resulted in an increase in medical research in less developed countries. In an attempt to be more globally applicable, current international guidelines for research on human subjects have attempted to acknowledge the importance of community. This book explains how these attempts fail to adequately acknowledge the importance community has for many people in less developed countries, and how these guidelines fail to attend to constraints to autonomy that oftentimes get magnified once community is involved in the informed consent process. The book further explains how these problems can be traced to a mistaken underlying notion of autonomy and what policymakers can do to remedy these problems

The Athenian Agora Museum Guide
Laura Gawlinski
Written for the general visitor, the Athenian Agora Museum Guide is a companion to the 2010 edition of the Athenian Agora Site Guide and leads the reader through all of the display spaces within the Stoa of Attalos in the Athenian Agora — the terrace, the ground-floor colonnade, and the newly opened upper story. The guide also discusses each case in the museum gallery chronologically, beginning with the prehistoric and continuing with the Geometric, Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods. Hundreds of artifacts, ranging from common pottery to elite jewelry held in 81 cases, are described and illustrated in color for the very first time. Through focus boxes, readers can learn about marble-working, early burial practices, pottery production, ostracism, home life, and the wells that dotted the ancient site. A timeline, maps, and plans accompany the text. For those who wish to learn more about what they see in the museum, a list of further reading follows each entry.

Religiöser Pluralismus in der Klinikseelsorge
Hille Haker, Gwendolin Wanderer, and Katrin Bentele
Das Krankenhaus ist ein Ort, an dem Helfende und Hilfebedürftige aus unterschiedlichen kulturellen und religiösen Kontexten aufeinander treffen. Neben medizinethischen sind kulturelle und interreligiöse Kompetenzen unerlässlich, um ein Handeln zum Wohl der Patientinnen und Patienten zu gewährleisten.
Der vorliegende Band der Reihe Medizinethik in der Klinikseelsorge bringt medizinethische Diskurse verschiedener Religionen mit Beiträgen aus der Praxis der Klinikseelsorge sowie Erfahrungen mit religiösem Pluralismus in der Klinik zusammen. Verschiedene Projekte geben einen Einblick in die konkreten Möglichkeiten interreligiöser und interkonfessioneller Zusammenarbeit.
Das Buch macht deutlich, welche Bedeutung die Auseinandersetzung mit religiösem Pluralismus als Bestandteil der Medizinethik hat. -

L'Italia Postcoloniale
Cristina Lombardi-Diop and Caterina Romeo
The volume presents the postcolonial condition as one of the determining factors that shape the daily life and culture of contemporary Italy. It identifies a wide variety of discourses, social practices and forms of cultural production specifically postcolonial that find expression in today's Italy. This collective volume is not limited to a rereading of the colonial past but underlines how the power relations established by colonialism are perpetuated and corroborated in contemporary society. It also establishes a relationship of continuity between the colonial past and other phenomena central to the formation of the Italian identity, such as transoceanic and European emigration, the subordination of the South, internal migrations, the relationship with the Mediterranean and contemporary immigration. Through the analysis of scholars who work in an international and interdisciplinary context, the volume fully introduces postcolonial studies as a field of investigation that broadens and enriches the theoretical-critical debate on Italian history and culture.
