The Geopolitical Melodrama --Notes --Works Cited --IndexIn December 2010 the U.S. Embassy in Kabul acknowledged that it was providing major funding for thirteen episodes of Eagle Four-a new Afghani television melodrama based loosely on the blockbuster U.S. series 24. According to an embassy spokesperson, Eagle Four was part of a strategy aimed at transforming public suspicion of security forces into something like awed respect. Why would a wartime government spend valuable resources on a melodrama of covert operations? The answer, according to Timothy Melley, is not simply that fiction has real political effects but that, since the Cold War, fiction has become integral to the growth of national security as a concept and a transformation of democracy. In The Covert Sphere, Melley links this cultural shift to the birth of the national security state in 1947. As the United States developed a vast infrastructure of clandestine organizations, it shielded policy from the public sphere and gave rise to a new cultural imaginary, "the covert sphere." One of the surprising consequences of state secrecy is that citizens must rely substantially on fiction to "know," or imagine, their nation's foreign policy. The potent combination of institutional secrecy and public fascination with the secret work of the state was instrumental in fostering the culture of suspicion and uncertainty that has plagued American society ever since-and, Melley argues, that would eventually find its fullest expression in postmodernism. The Covert Sphere traces these consequences from the Korean War through the War on Terror, examining how a regime of psychological operations and covert action has made the conflation of reality and fiction a central feature of both U.S. foreign policy and American culture. Melley interweaves Cold War history with political theory and original readings of films, television dramas, and popular entertainments-from The Manchurian Candidate through 24-as well as influential writing by Margaret Atwood, Robert Coover, Don DeLillo, Joan Didion, E. L. Doctorow, Michael Herr, Denis Johnson, Norman Mailer, Tim O'Brien, and many others.American fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismEspionage in literatureLiterature and historyUnited StatesNational securitySocial aspectsUnited StatesPopular culturePolitical aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPopular culturePolitical aspectsUnited StatesHistory21st centurySecrecy in literatureSpy stories, AmericanHistory and criticismTerrorism in literatureWorld politics in literatureElectronic books.American fictionHistory and criticism.Espionage in literature.Literature and historyNational securitySocial aspectsPopular culturePolitical aspectsHistoryPopular culturePolitical aspectsHistorySecrecy in literature.Spy stories, AmericanHistory and criticism.Terrorism in literature.World politics in literature.813/.087209Melley Timothy1963-1044551MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462186703321The covert sphere2470291UNINA07655nam 2202437z- 450 991055778730332120210501(CKB)5400000000045515(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/69055(oapen)doab69055(EXLCZ)99540000000004551520202105d2020 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierRecent Advances and Clinical Outcomes of Kidney TransplantationVolume 2Basel, SwitzerlandMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20201 online resource (270 p.)3-03936-407-3 3-03936-408-1 Advances in immunosuppression and kidney transplant techniques have led to significant improvements in the short-term survival of the renal allograft. Long-term graft survival, however, has relatively lagged behind and has now become one of the main problems in kidney transplantation. In this Special Issue, we discuss the recent research developments in kidney transplants that may affect long-term allografts, as well as the survival of the patient. The latest developments in living kidney donation are also explored.Recent Advances and Clinical Outcomes of Kidney Transplantation Medicinebicsscacute humoral rejectionacute rejectionadaptive immune systemADPKDageall-cause mortalityallograft survivalAlport syndromeantibiotic resistanceantibody-mediated rejection (AMR)apoptosisarsenicatypical hemolytic uremic syndromeautosomal dominant polycystic kidney diseaseBelataceptbeliefsbiomarkerBK virusBK virus nephropathyBKVBKVANbranched chain amino acidsC/D ratioC/D-ratioC3d-binding assaycalcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxcitycalcineurin inhibitorscancercancer mortalitycardiovascular high riskcardiovascular mortalityCD45RCchildrencreatininedelayed graft functiondietdietary intakedonor-specific antibodies (DSA)eculizumabendothelial dysfunctionepidemiologyepidermal growth factorethnicityfast tacrolimus metabolizersfirst-line therapyfish consumptionFK506fluid managementgenetic relationship donor/recipientgenomicsGFRglomerulusglucose intolerancegoal-directed fluid therapygraft failuregraft survivalgrowth hormonehealthy subjecthospitalizationhyperchloremiahyperoxaluriahypomagnesaemiahypothermichypoxic inducible factorimmunosuppressioninequityinfectious mortalityinnate immune systeminsulin resistanceinsulin secretioninsulin-like growth factor 1ironiron deficiencyischemia reperfusion injurykidneykidney allograftkidney functionkidney graft dysfunctionkidney transplantKidney transplantkidney transplant (KT)kidney transplant recipientskidney transplantationliving donorliving donor kidney transplantationliving kidney donationliving-donor kidney transplantationlymphocytemachine perfusionmagnesiummalignancymalondialdehydemeta-analysismethanogenesisMethanosphaera stadtmanaemortalitymucinsmuscle massmycophenolic acidn/aN1-methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamideN1-methylnicotinamidenative nephrectomynecrosisnephropathynephrotoxicitynew onset diabetes after renal transplantationnew-onset diabetesniacin statusnight-time renal transplantationnormothermicobesityopportunistic infectionoral glucose tolerance testorgan preservationoutcomeoutcomesoxalateoxidative stressoxidative stress.patient outcomepatient survivalpatient survival/outcomeperioperative complicationspharmacokineticpharmacokineticsphylogenyphysical activityplasmapheresispolyomaviruspost-transplant diabetes mellituspost-transplant malignancypost-transplantation diabetes mellitusposttransplant diarrheaproteasome inhibitorproton pump inhibitorproton-pump inhibitorsrenal cell carcinomarenal transplantrenal transplant recipientsrenal transplantationrenal transplantation.single nucleotide polymorphismssubarachnoid hemorrhagesulfate-reducing bacteriasurgical complicationssurvivalsystematic reviewstacrolimustacrolimus metabolismtemperaturetiming of removaltransplanttransplant recipientstransplant rejectiontransplantationtryptophanUPECureteric stenturinary biomarkersurinary excretionurinary excretion of N1-methylnicotinamideurinary tract infectionurological complicationsUropathogenic E. colivirulence traitsvitamin B3vitamin Cα-GSTπ-GSTMedicineCheungpasitporn Wisitedt1277893Thongprayoon CharatedtLeeaphorn NapatedtCheungpasitporn WisitothThongprayoon CharatothLeeaphorn NapatothBOOK9910557787303321Recent Advances and Clinical Outcomes of Kidney Transplantation3012222UNINA
