permettre aux personnes âgées de participer pleinement à la société. Soigner les vieux, c'est enfin tirer des leçons de la pandémie de COVID-19.

Par Esther Vivas. 2024
¿Es posible ser mamá y feminista al mismo tiempo? ¿Hay alguna salida al dilema «carrera vs. familia»? Si hemos elegido…
se madres, ¿hasta que punto podemos decidir sobre nuestra maternidad?En Mamá desobediente, la periodista, socióloga y madre feminista, Esther Vivas aborda éstas y otras interrogantes cuando explora la maternidad con emancipación y sin imposiciones. Con un tono fresco pero riguroso, respaldado en una investigación rigurosa y en la experiencia personal de la autora, este libro trata los asuntos menos frecuentados sobre la maternidad, como la infertilidad, el embarazo, el parto, la violencia obstétrica y la lactancia. Ofrece también una guía y herramientas factibles para quienes deseen emprender este recorrido desde una postura diferente.El enfoque de Vivas es fresco y refleja la necesidad que hay, entre las generaciones jóvenes, de opiniones disruptivas, realistas y políticas sobre la maternidad y la paternidad, alejadas de la excesiva idealización que ignora sus obstáculos y retos, y los limita a ser tratados exclusivamente como un asunto privado. En los últimos años, éste se ha convertido en un tema recurrente en la literatura en lengua española, sobre todo en la nueva ola de escritoras latinoamericanas, pero sigue siendo un terreno inexplorado en los géneros de no ficción.———Is it possible to be a mother and a feminist at the same time? Is there a way out of the "career vs. family" dilemma? If we have chosen to be mothers, to what extent can we decide about our motherhood?In Mamá desobediente, the Spanish journalist, sociologist, and feminist mom Esther Vivas tackles these and other interrogations, exploring maternity in an emancipating way and without impositions. With a fresh but rigorous note, underpinned in deep research and author’s personal experience, this book addresses commonly neglected issues surrounding maternity, such as infertility, pregnancy, childbirth, obstetric violence, and breastfeeding, and offers guidance and actionable tools for those who desire to embark in this journey from a different standpoint. Vivas’ approach feels fresh and reflects the appetite amongst younger generations for disruptive, realistic, and political takes on maternity and parenting, removed from the idealization and over-romanticization that put aside its hitches and challenges, and confine them as exclusively private matters. In the last years, this has become a recurrent topic in Spanish-language literature, especially at the new wave of Latin American women writers, but remains a largely unexplored path in non-fiction.Demenz im Film: Wie das Kino vergessen lernte
Par Dennis Henkel. 2023
Seit der Jahrtausendwende wagen Filmemacher immer häufiger, das gesellschaftlich drängende Thema Demenz in Großproduktionen aufzugreifen - für die große Leinwand…
mit ihren hochbudgetierten Produktionen war das bis dahin zu brenzlig, kontrovers und für Kassenschlager schlicht ungeeignet. Der Trend setzt sich bis heute fort: Allein 2020 schafften es sechs Großproduktionen um das Thema Demenz, teils mit Hollywoodstars besetzt, in die großen Kinosäle. Das Kino lernt also Vergessen! Die Autoren begeben sich in diesem Buch auf die Spuren dieser Entwicklung und heben gesellschaftlich und künstlerisch bemerkenswerte Aspekte hervor: Sie skizzieren die Perspektive der Erkrankten, der Angehörigen und die filmische Darstellung von Pflegeeinrichtungen. Filme weiblicher Regisseure und Werke aus anderen Kulturen fügen eine antipatriarchische und internationale Sichtweise auf die Erkrankung hinzu und zeigen Standpunkte jenseits stereotyper Vorstellungen auf. Darüber hinaus stellen die Autoren Filme vor, die das Thema “Demenz” mit weiteren umstrittenen Themen verbinden, wie z. B. der Homosexualität. Diese nutzen die Kraft der Fiktion, um uns zukünftige Weltentwürfe zu zeigen, in denen z. B. künstliche Intelligenz und futuristische Techniken Dementen das Leben erleichtern. Das Buch möchte so auf unterhaltsame Weise einen Beitrag zur Aufklärung über Demenz leisten und auch sensibilisieren für die künstlerisch-filmische Aufbereitung einerseits und medizinische Realität andererseits. Es richtet sich an alle kinobegeisterten Leser, ob mit oder ohne medizinisch-fachliche Vorkenntnisse - für unvergessliche Einblicke in das Thema “Demenz im Film”!The Knowledge: Your guide to female health – from menstruation to the menopause

Par Crystal Duffy. 2019
A twenty-nine-year-old mother’s harrowing and inspiring adventure through a high-risk twin pregnancy.One minute Crystal was sitting at a candlelight dinner…
in Paris with her husband. The next she was back home in Houston, sitting in her OB-GYN’s office concerned that she was having a second miscarriage. But she was actually pregnant with twins! Since Crystal and her husband Ed already had a two-year-old daughter, Abigail, she couldn’t imagine why mothering twins would be all that different. That is until she learns her twins have a life-threatening condition called Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, meaning Baby B is transfusing blood (disproportionately) to Baby A.Crystal is declared too high risk, so her OB sends her to the 5th floor of the Houston Medical Center for the duration of her pregnancy. Sitting alone in her hospital bed, Crystal wonders how she’ll pass the next few weeks, away from her husband and daughter. Soon she embarks on an emotional rollercoaster—from late night emergency ultrasounds to hospital baby blessings, sprinkled with comic relief from nurses and hospital staff.Twin to Twin is a raw and inspirational story filled with tenderness, vulnerability, and humor. It chronicles the wildest, most terrifying and challenging year of Crystal’s life, which is also the most beautiful and eye-opening. Her hope is that it will bring strength to other women dealing with their own personal trials and tragedies, so they can also triumph.Praise for Twin to Twin“An “orphan” disease, expectant mothers with Twin to Twin (and their support systems) should adopt . . . Twin to Twin. An intimate account, told with flagging and unflagging optimism, Duffy’s story ensures that others need not ride alone through this rollercoaster experience.” —Suzy Becker, author of One Good Egg“Duffy’s wit and self-deprecating humor helped her survive the realities and (sometimes devastating) physical and emotional truths of her high-stakes twin pregnancy. Twin to Twin is engaging, compelling, and yes, entertaining read.” —Susan Krawitz, author of Viva RoseSmall Pleasures: Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction

Author Heather Huhman guides readers through every stage of the process—from knowing when to seek medical advice to parenting after infertility, and everything in between. There's the medical nitty gritty: getting a diagnosis (or not); selecting a fertility clinic that's right for you; understanding IUI and IVF and genetic testing; a comprehensive list of medications and their side effects, and much more. There are emotional high and lows: staying hopeful while managing grief and depression, maintaining and strengthening your relationship, and navigating religious and ethical concerns. And then there is the practical and often complicated questions around affording treatments, dealing with your workplace (including the military), and everything you need to know about insurance and fertility treatments.Stronger Than Infertility breaks down complicated clinical information and expert medical advice from top specialists in the field. The book includes first-person stories and hard-won advice from women who have been down this long and often painful road (Huhman included) and offers a clear-eyed look at the emotional and psychological landmines that come with the journey. The result is a book that inspires as much as it educates and is a much-needed source of support and inspiration for readers hungry for understanding and hope.Older Mexicans and Latinos in the United States: Where Worlds Meet

the labor force, and healthcare systems. It examines in depth the causes and consequences of the increasing prevalence of cognitive impairment and dementia, especially early-onset decline in the Mexican-origin population. The book identifies resilience factors as critical to successful aging and health in the Mexican and Mexican-American populations from a transdisciplinary perspective.

The book also helps to better understand the levels of need and support capacity in both nations and the organizational contexts of long-term care in both countries. The ultimate goal of this sixth volume in the series on aging in the Americas is to identify critical sources of vulnerability and possible policy options for closing the gap in affordable and sustainable long-term care and financial wellbeing for low-resource populations living with dementia and other medical conditions in both countries. The volume presents new information, consensus data, potential venues for intervention, and action frameworks to advance current knowledge grounded in global aging health systems research of closing disparities in vulnerable populations at high risk of declining cognitive and physical health in two different political contexts. As such, the book provides a wealth of information for researchers, policy makers and professionals in the field of population aging.
