Abstract

Rights advocacy has become a prominent facet of South Korea’s increasingly transnational motion picture output, especially following the 1998 presidential inauguration of Kim Dae-jung, a former political prisoner and victim of human rights abuses who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2000. Today it is not unusual to see a big-budget production about the pursuit of social justice or the protection of civil liberties contending for the top spot at the box office. With that cultural shift has come a diversification of film subjects, which range from undocumented workers’ rights to the sexual harassment experienced by women to high-school bullying to the struggles among people with disabilities to gain inclusion within a society that has transformed significantly since winning democratic freedoms three decades ago. Combining in-depth textual analyses of films such as Bleak Night, Okja, Planet of Snail, Repatriation, and Silenced with broader historical contextualization, Movie Minorities offers the first English-language study of South Korean cinema’s role in helping to galvanize activist social movements across several identity-based categories.

Abstract

Broken Spirits gaat over mensen die ernstig beschadigd zijn door oorlog, vervolging, marteling en gedwongen migratie. Wereldwijd gaat het om ongeveer 40 miljoen mensen. In dit boek beschrijven ongeveer 50 experts uit verschillende disciplines en landen de theorie en de praktijk van de hulpverlening aan asielzoekers en vluchtelingen. Het boek bevat 25 hoofdstukken, ondergebracht in 7 delen. Het eerste deel behandelt belangrijke theoretische en conceptuele onderwerpen, zoals de gevolgen van gedwongen migratie, marteling, politiek geweld en aanpassing aan een nieuwe cultuur op de geestelijke gezondheid van mensen. Deel twee gaat over de gevolgen van psychotrauma's voor het individu en het appèl daarvan op de westerse geestelijke gezondheidszorg. Het volgende deel is gewijd aan verschillende vormen van verbale therapieën. Daarna volgt een deel over de non-verbale therapieën waarin met name de psychomotorische therapie, lichaamsgerichte therapie, creatieve therapie en muziektherapie worden behandeld. Deel 5 richt zich op groepen die extra kwetsbaar zijn voor psychotrauma's, in het bijzonder kinderen, adolescenten en vrouwen. Deel 6 handelt over de mogelijkheden voor psychofarmacologische interventies, over de omgang met medisch- somatische problemen die het gevolg zijn van martelingen en over wegen om te komen tot psychosociale rehabilitatie van patiënten met posttraumatische stressstoornissen. Het laatste deel gaat over de wettelijke, morele en ethische, en politieke kanten van het werken met asielzoekers en vluchtelingen.

Abstract

"The rights of victims to truth, justice, reparations and guarantees of non-repetition when businesses are involved in past and present abuses are seldom guaranteed. A legacy of impunity has prevailed globally in which economic actors have incurred few legal or financial (indemnity) costs for violating behaviour. Examining cases in Nazi Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Honduras, Perú, the Philippines and South Africa, this edited volume traces business accountability efforts. It identifies the tools applicable to different country contexts that have facilitated corporate accountability for human rights violations, while also flagging the barriers that persist. This volume presents the past and the present of accountability for corporations complicit in gross human rights violations, and also considers what the future may hold."--

Abstract

A new and chilling study of lethal human exploitation in the Soviet forced labor camps, one of the pillars of Stalinist terror In a shocking new study of life and death in Stalin's Gulag, historian Golfo Alexopoulos suggests that Soviet forced labor camps were driven by brutal exploitation and often administered as death camps. The first study to examine the Gulag penal system through the lens of health, medicine, and human exploitation, this extraordinary work draws from previously inaccessible archives to offer a chilling new view of one of the pillars of Stalinist terror.
