      Bordering intimacy

      Postcolonial governance and the policing of family

      by Joe Turner

      Bordering intimacy explores the interconnected role of borders and dominant forms of family intimacy in the governance of postcolonial states. Combining a historical investigation with postcolonial, decolonial and black feminist theory, the book reveals how the border policies of the British and other European empires have been reinvented for the twenty-first century through appeals to protect and sustain 'family life' - appeals that serve to justify and obfuscate the continued organisation of racialised violence. The book examines the continuity of colonial rule in numerous areas of contemporary government, including family visa regimes, the policing of 'sham marriages', counterterror strategies, deprivation of citizenship, policing tactics and integration policy.

      Intimacy and mobility in an era of hardening borders

      Gender, reproduction, regulation

      by Haldis Haukanes, Frances Pine

      This book is a collection of articles by anthropologists and social scientists concerned with gendered labour, care, intimacy and sexuality, in relation to mobility and the hardening of borders in Europe. Interrogating the relation between physical, geopolitical borders and ideological, conceptual boundaries, it offers a range of vivid and original ethnographic case studies that will capture the imagination of anyone interested in gendered migration, policies of inclusion and exclusion, and regulation of reproduction and intimacy. The book presents ethnographic and phenomenological discussions of people's changing lives as they cross borders, how people transgress and reshape moral boundaries of proper gender and kinship behaviour, and moral economies of intimacy and sexuality. It also focuses on migrants' navigation of social and financial services in their destination countries, putting questions about rights and limitations on citizenship at the core.

      Die Liebesgeschichten

      by Hermann Hesse, Volker Michels, Volker Michels

      Ein großer Teil aller Erzählungen Hermann Hesses sind Liebesgeschichten und nahezu jedes zehnte seiner Gedichte ist ein Liebesgedicht. Die meisten der in diesem Band gesammelten Erzählungen, Märchen und Legenden – geschrieben in den Jahren 1900 bis 1924 – sind autobiographisch fundierte Erinnerungen aus der Jugend des Verfassers. Unter ihnen finden sich überraschende Entdeckungen aus den Anfangsjahren des Dichters, zum Beispiel der kleine, um die Jahrhundertwende entstandene Roman Der Dichter. Ein Buch der Sehnsucht, das sich im Nachlaß Hesses befand. Mit den chronologisch angeordneten 29 Texten – darunter Taedium vitae, Der Kavalier auf dem Eise, Heumond, Schön ist die Jugend, Hans Amstein und Piktors Verwandlungen – sind hier nun alle Geschichten Hermann Hesses über die Liebe in ihren unterschiedlichsten Facetten versammelt.

      Über die Liebe

      by Stendhal, Walter Hoyer, Walter Hoyer

      Als Stendhal die Liebe und ihre Geheimnisse ergründen wollte, war er selbst gerade unglücklich verliebt: die Mailänderin Mathilde Dembowskij erhörte ihn nicht. Sein großer Essay Über die Liebe zeigt seine innere Zerrissenheit und zeichnet sich durch die erstaunlichsten, subtilsten Beobachtungen und Betrachtungen aus.

      Robust health care systems are paramount for the health, security, and prosperity of people and countries as a whole. This book provides for the first time a chronicle of the struggle for, and eventual success of, universal health coverage (UHC) in Tanzania. Beginning with an introduction to primary health care in the country, from its historical foundations to the major milestones of implementation, this book then considers stewardship of this important aspect of health systems over time. Written in a way to allow the application of lessons learned to other countries' contexts, this book covers: - Policy and governance issues such as leadership, human resources, and financing of health systems; - Practical aspects of health system delivery, including supply chains, community care, new technologies, and the integration of services for particular population groups; - The impact and mitigation of global events on health systems, such as resilience and preparedness in the light of disease outbreaks or climate change, and social, commercial, and political influences. Concluding with a look to the future, forecasting the changes and new solutions needed to adapt to a changing world, this book is a valuable reference for policy makers, global health practitioners, health system managers, researchers, students, and all those with an interest in primary health care and reforms - both in Tanzania and beyond.

      Affective intimacies

      by Marjo Kolehmainen, Kinneret Lahad, Annukka Lahti

      This volume provides a novel platform to re-evaluate the notion of open-ended intimacies through the lens of affect theories. Contributors address the embodied, affective and psychic, sensorial and embodied aspects of their ongoing intimate entanglements across various timely phenomena. This fascinating collection asks how the study of affect enables us to rethink intimacies, what affect theories can do to the prevailing notion of intimacy and how do they renew and enrich theories of intimacy in a manner which also considers its normative and violent forms. Lively and thought-provoking, this collection contributes to timely topics across the social sciences, representing multiple disciplines from gender studies, sociology and cultural studies to anthropology and queer studies. By so doing, it advances the value of interdisciplinary perspectives and creative methodologies to understanding affective intimacies.
