Sommario/riassunto

La celebración del Año Jubilar en honor a san Francisco de Borja es el hito histórico que ha motivado esta publicación y que recoge el estudio de siete obras de arte procedentes del Museo de Santa Clara de Gandia a partir de los análisis de diagnóstica realizados mediante radiografías, fotografía infrarroja, y fotografía ultravioleta. Esta cuidadosa selección de obras originales de los siglos XVI y XVII, conservadas en el Monasterio de Santa Clarad durante siglos, estarán acompañadas de sus correspondientes imágenes técnicas,que nos permitirán adentrarnos en cada una de las piezas de arte, llegar a sus entrañas, a sus secretos más ocultos. Las obras han sido expuestas en uno de los espacios museísticos más importantes de la Comunitat Valenciana y en este libro se presentan acompañadas de las más recientes investigaciones en el campo de la historia del arte y la iconografía.

Sommario/riassunto

A critical study of diabetes in the popular imaginationOver twenty-nine million people in the United States, more than nine percent of the population, have some form of diabetes. In Managing Diabetes, Jeffrey A. Bennett focuses on how the disease is imagined in public culture. Bennett argues that popular anecdotes, media representation, and communal myths are as meaningful as medical and scientific understandings of the disease. In focusing on the public character of the disease, Bennett looks at health campaigns and promotions as well as the debate over public figures like Sonia Sotomayor and her management of type 1 diabetes. Bennett examines the confusing and



contradictory public depictions of diabetes to demonstrate how management of the disease is not only clinical but also cultural. Bennett also has type 1 diabetes and speaks from personal experience about the many misunderstandings and myths that are alive in the popular imagination. Ultimately, Managing Diabetes offers a fresh take on how disease is understood in contemporary society and the ways that stigma, fatalism, and health can intersect to shape diabetes’s public character. This disease has dire health implications, and rates keep rising. Bennett argues that until it is better understood it cannot be better treated.
