However, prior to the futurist break, a group of early-twentieth-century poets, later dubbed crepuscolari (crepusculars), had already begun an attack against the dominant cultural system, using their poetry as the locus in which useless little objects clashed with the traditional poetry of human greatness and stylistic perfection. The Quiet Avant-Garde draws from a number of twenty-first-century theories--vital materialism, object-oriented ontology, and environmental humanities--as well as Bruno Latour's criticism of modernity to illustrate how the crepuscular movement sabotaged the modern mindset and launched the counter-discourse of the Italian avant-garde by blurring the line dividing people from "things." This liminal poetics, at the crossroad of tradition, modernism, and the avant-garde, acted as the initiator of the ethical and environmental transition from a universe subjected to humans to human-thing co-agency. This book proposes a contemporary reading of Italian twentieth-century movements and offers a foothold for scholars outside Italian studies to access authors who are still unexplored in North American literature."--Provided by publisherItalian poetry20th centuryHistory and criticismAvant-garde (Aesthetics)ItalyHistory20th centuryItalyfastCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastHistory.fastItalian.avant-garde.crepuscularism.futurism.gender.humanism.modernism.nature.nonhuman agency.poetics of the object.poetry.subject-object dualism.Italian poetryHistory and criticism.Avant-garde (Aesthetics)History851/.9109cci1icclacccoll13laccCannamela Danila, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1511672DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910793597703321The Quiet Avant‐Garde3745119UNINA03504nam 22005415 450 991040424950332120250628110031.0981-15-3572-810.1007/978-981-15-3572-7(CKB)4100000011273139(MiAaPQ)EBC6206973(DE-He213)978-981-15-3572-7(Au-PeEL)EBL6206973(OCoLC)1155878196(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/27025(PPN)248393464(ODN)ODN0010187431(oapen)doab27025(EXLCZ)99410000001127313920200519d2020 uy 0engurnn#---mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBioethics across the globe rebirthing bioethics /Akira Akabayashi1st edition 2020.SingaporeSpringer Nature2020Singapore :Springer Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2020.1 online resource (XVIII, 146 p. 22 illus., 12 illus. in color.)981-15-3571-X Chapter 1 A Brief History of Bioethics in Japan -- Chapter 2 Brain-death and organ transplantation: The first Japanese Path -- Chapter 3 Informed Consent, Familism, and the Nature of Autonomy -- Chapter 4 End-of-Life Care, Advance Directives, Withholding and Withdrawing Life-Sustaining Treatment, and The Goals of Medicine -- Chapter 5 The Moral Status of the Embryo: The Second Japanese Path -- Chapter 6 The Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident -- Chapter 7 Outcome egalitarianism and opportunity egalitarianism -- Chapter 8 Research Regulations, Ethics Committees, and Confronting Global Standards -- Chapter 9 Modern Medical Professionalism -- Chapter 10 What does it mean to be truly “interdisciplinary”? -- Chapter 11 Rebirthing Bioethics: Going Global.This open access book addresses a variety of issues relating to bioethics, in order to initiate cross-cultural dialogue. Beginning with the history, it introduces various views on bioethics, based on specific experiences from Japan. It describes how Japan has been confronted with Western bioethics and the ethical issues new to this modern age, and how it has found its foothold as it decides where it stands on these issues. In the last chapter, the author proposes discarding the overarching term ‘Global Bioethics’ in favor of the new term, ‘Bioethics Across the Globe (BAG)’, which carries a more universal connotation. This book serves as an excellent tool to help readers understand a different culture and to initiate deep and genuine global dialogue that incorporates local and global thinking on bioethics. Bioethics Across the Globe is a valuable resource for researchers in the field of bioethics/medical ethics interested in adopting cross-cultural approaches, as well as graduate and undergraduate students of healthcare and philosophy.BioethicsMedical ethicsBioethics.Medical ethics.610.1174.2MED050000bisacshAkabayashi Akira1958-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1254459MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910404249503321Bioethics across the globe2908505UNINA
