Conclusion: Becoming Biosubjects -- Notes -- References -- IndexBecoming Biosubjects examines the ways in which the Canadian government, media, courts, and everyday Canadians are making sense of the challenges being posed by biotechnologies. The authors argue that the human body is now being understood as something that is fluid and without fixed meaning. This has significant implications both for how we understand ourselves and how we see our relationships with other forms of life.Focusing on four major issues, the authors examine the ways in which genetic technologies are shaping criminal justice practices, how policies on reproductive technologies have shifted in response to biotechnologies, the debates surrounding the patenting of higher life forms, and the Canadian (and global) response to bioterrorism. Regulatory strategies in government and the courts are continually evolving and are affected by changing public perceptions of scientific knowledge. The legal and cultural shifts outlined in Becoming Biosubjects call into question what it means to be a Canadian, a citizen, and a human being.Cultural studies series (Toronto, Ont.)BiotechnologySocial aspectsCanadaGenetic engineeringSocial aspectsCanadaHuman bodyForensic geneticsTechniqueCriminal justice, Administration ofCanadaReproductive technologyGovernment policyCanadaBioterrorismCanadaPreventionBiotechnologyCanadaPatentsBioterrorismPreventionElectronic books.BiotechnologySocial aspectsGenetic engineeringSocial aspectsHuman body.Forensic geneticsTechnique.Criminal justice, Administration ofReproductive technologyGovernment policyBioterrorismPrevention.BiotechnologyBioterrorismPrevention.303.48/3Gerlach Neil, 910593Gerlach Neil1963-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457251503321Becoming biosubjects2037947UNINA01236nam0-2200397---450 99000568567020331620220624130557.0000568567USA01000568567(ALEPH)000568567USA0100056856720060125d1991----|||y0itaa50------baitait0 00|||<<Il >> relittoRobert Louis Stevensoncon la collaborazione di Lloyd Osbournetraduzione di Igor Legatinota introduttiva di Barbara LanatiTorinoEinaudicopyr. 1991XII, 482 p.20 cm<<Gli >> struzzi420Trad. di: The wrecker.2001<<Gli >> struzzi420TORINO823.8STEVENSON,Robert Louis<1850-1894>7383LEGATI,IgorLANATI,BarbaraITSA20111219990005685670203316Dipar.to di Filosofia - SalernoDFFDC 800 STE7565 FILXV.18.B. 562 (FDC 800 STE)7565 FILXV.18.B536691BKFDECI20121027USA01152620121027USA011615Relitto1084250UNISA05326nam 2200673 a 450 991096774530332120240401153638.00-7983-0370-0(CKB)2550000001113192(EBL)1352477(OCoLC)856870041(SSID)ssj0001071312(PQKBManifestationID)11959627(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001071312(PQKBWorkID)11113921(PQKB)10904929(MdBmJHUP)muse31129(Au-PeEL)EBL1352477(CaPaEBR)ebr10751658(CaONFJC)MIL513057(PPN)268572593(FRCYB88933574)88933574(Perlego)2102050(FR-PaCSA)88933574(MiAaPQ)EBC1352477(EXLCZ)99255000000111319220150303d2013 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrNATO's failure in Libya lessons for Africa /Horace Campbell1st ed.Pretoria, South Africa Africa Institute of South Africac20131 online resource (186 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-7983-0343-3 1-299-81806-4 Includes bibliographical references (pages 143-158).Preface -- Introduction -- The independence of Libya and the birth of NATO -- Collapse of the Soviet Union and emergence of NATO -- Muammar Gaddafi and the Elusive Revolution -- The Neo-liberal assault on Libya : London School of Economics and Harvard professors -- UN Security Council Resolution 1973 and the responsibility to protect -- Libya and the Gulf Cooperation Council -- Libyan resources -- France and Libya and the financialisation of energy markets -- The NATO Campaign -- The African Union and Libya -- NATO in Libya as a Military Information Operation -- Who took Tripoli? -- Tawergha and the myth of African mercenaries -- The execution of Gaddafi -- NATO's Libyan mission: a catastrophic failure -- European isolation in Africa -- Conclusion: NATO and the recursive processes of failure and destruction in Libya -- Appendix 1.

''This is my will'' -- Muammar Gaddafi.When the Tunisian and Egyptian uprisings erupted in Africa, in the first two months of the year 2011, with the chant, 'the people want to bring down the regime', there was hope all over the continent that these rebellions were part of a wider African Awakening. President Ben Ali of Tunisia was forced to step down and fled to Saudi Arabia. Within a month of Ben Ali's departure, Hosni Mubarak of Egypt was removed from power by the people, who mobilised a massive revolutionary movement in the country. Four days after the ousting of Mubarak, sections of the Libyan people rebelled in Benghazi. Within days, this uprising was militarised, with armed resistance countered by declarations from the Libyan leadership vowing to use raw state power to root out the rebellion. The first Libyan demonstrations occurred on February 15, 2011, but by February 21 there were reports that innocent civilians were in imminent danger of being massacred by the army. This information was embellished by reports of the political leadership branding the rebellious forces as 'rats'. The United States (US), Britain and France took the lead to rush through a resolution in the United Nations (UN) Security Council, invoking the principle of the 'responsibility to protect'. This concept of responsibility to protect had been embraced and supported by many governments in the aftermath of the genocidal episodes in Rwanda, Bosnia and Kosovo. The UN Security Council Resolution 1973 of 2011 was loosely worded, with the formulation 'all necessary measures' tacked on to ensure wide latitude for those societies and political leaders who orchestrated the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) intervention in Libya. In the following nine months, the implementation of this UN resolution exposed the real objectives of the leaders of the US, France and Britain. With the Western media fuelling a propaganda campaign in the traditions of 'manufacturing consent', this Security Council authorisation was stretched from a clear and limited civilian protection mandate into a military campaign for regime change and the execution of the President of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi.Regime changeLibyaRevolutionsLibyaPeacekeeping forcesLibyaLibyaHistoryCivil War, 2011-LibyaPolitics and government1969-2011Regime changeRevolutionsPeacekeeping forces355.031091821Campbell Horace511222MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910967745303321NATO's failure in Libya4341530UNINA
