Part One traces the context of his cultural influence, telling the story of one of the greatest writers and thinkers of the century. It includes a comprehensive critical overview of Lem's literary and philosophical oeuvre which comprises not only the classics like Solaris, but his untranslated first novels, realistic prose, experimental works, volumes of nonfiction, latter-day metafiction, as well as the final twenty years of polemics and essays. The critical and interpretive Part Two examines a range of Lem's novels with a view to examining the intellectual vistas they open up before us. It focuses on several of Lem's major but less studied books. "Game, Set, Lem" uses game theory to shed light on his arguably most surreal novel, the Kafkaesque and claustrophobic Memoirs Found in a Bathtub (1961). "Betrization Is the Worst Solution... Except for All Others" takes a close look at the quasi-utopia of Return From the Stars (1961) and at the concept of ethical cleansing and mandatory de-aggression. "Errare Humanum Est" focuses on the popular science thriller The Invincible (1964) in the context of evolution. "A Beachbook for Intellectuals" is a critical fugue on Lem's medical thriller cum crime mystery, The Chain of Chance (1976). Stanislaw Lem: Philosopher of the Future closes with a two-part coda. "Fiasco" recapitulates and reflects on the literary and cognitive themes of Lem's farewell novel, and "Happy End of the World!" reviews The Blink of an Eye, Lem's farewell book of analyses and prognoses from the cusp of our millennium.Liverpool science fiction texts and studies ;51.Criticism, interpretation, etc.fast891.85373Swirski Peter1966-1064536UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910159432303321Stanislaw Lem2786519UNINA04182nam 22008055 450 991055273960332120241120180304.03-030-91971-410.1007/978-3-030-91971-9(CKB)5580000000295508(DE-He213)978-3-030-91971-9(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/79385(MiAaPQ)EBC6914960(Au-PeEL)EBL6914960(OCoLC)1303705331(PPN)261521349(EXLCZ)99558000000029550820240605d2022 uy 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierGender and Migration IMISCOE Short Reader /by Anastasia Christou, Eleonore Kofman1st ed. 2022.ChamSpringer Nature2022Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2022.1 online resource (VI, 123 p. 1 illus.)IMISCOE Research Series,2364-40953-030-91970-6 Chapter 1: Gender and Migration: an Introduction -- Chapter 2: Gendered Migrations and Conceptual Approaches: Theorising and Researching Mobilities -- Chapter 3: Gendered Labour -- Chapter 4: Transnational Families, Intimate Relations, Generations -- Chapter 5: Gendering Asylum -- Chapter 6: Engendering Integration and Inclusion -- Chapter 7: Conclusion.This open access short reader offers a critical review of the debates on the transformation of migration and gendered mobilities primarily in Europe, though also engaging in wider theoretical insights. Building on empirical case studies and grounded in an analytical framework that incorporates both men and women, masculinities, sexualities and wider intersectional insights, this reader provides an accessible overview of conceptual developments and methodological shifts and their implications for a gendered understanding of migration in the past 30 years. It explores different and emerging approaches in major areas, such as: gendered labour markets across diverse sectors beyond domestic and care work to include skilled sectors of social reproduction; the significance of families in migration and transnational families; displacement, asylum and refugees and the incorporation of gender and sexuality in asylum determination; academic critiques and gendered discourses concerning integration often with the focus on Muslim women. The reader concludes with considerations of the potential impact of three notable developments on gendered migrations and mobilities: Black Lives Matter, Brexit and COVID-19. As such, it is a valuable resource for students, academics, policy makers, and practitioners.IMISCOE Research Series,2364-4095Migració (Població)thubGènerethubMobilitat laboralthubMobilitat residencialthubCondicions socialsthubBiotechnologySexPopulation—Economic aspectsEthicsBiotechnologyGender StudiesPopulation EconomicsMoral Philosophy and Applied EthicsLlibres electrònicsthubMigració (Població)Gènere.Mobilitat laboralMobilitat residencialCondicions socialsBiotechnology.Sex.Population—Economic aspects.Ethics.Biotechnology.Gender Studies.Population Economics.Moral Philosophy and Applied Ethics.660.6Christou Anastasiaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut915481Kofman Eleonoreauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910552739603321Gender and Migration2996872UNINA
