Besondere Bedeutung kommt dem Film zu. Eine DVD mit Beispielen für die performative Transformation als Spielfilm ist beigefügt.

Old Age, Gender, Social Security in Africa and Europe
Author: Henry Kam Kah
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 364391573X
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
In the `Decade of Healthy Ageing’ (UN/WHO), this collection of essays contains interdisciplinary contributions by authors from African and European cultures who address questions about the situation of old people in the past and present, comparing the situation of men and women and focussing on their protection and care within society. While at first glance it appears that the phenomena in the `young’ African countries are completely different from those in European countries, there is a certain convergence between the continents. The challenges of migration, globalisation and the climate crisis are triggering social transformation processes that are weakening older traditions. The focus is on the dissolution of the extended family and the associated loss of the stabilising function within the framework of the so-called intergenerational contract. This development triggers crises. However, new models for organising old age are also developing. Old people are finding new ways to organise their lives.

Bru Nansi’s Revival
Author: Dale Francis
Publisher: LifeRich Publishing
ISBN: 1489727507
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Bru Nansi’s Revival is a treat! The plot mixes past and present class conflicts into satirical entertainment for all ages. Chunky human and animal role reversal imagery reveals the cancel culture spirit of unity that stops the old imperialism and jump-starts a new kinder kingdom. Within the backdrop of historical references and benchmarks, this cultural tale mixes church and state traditions to recreate a lifestyle drama set in a 1700s colonial neighborhood. In this community, the natives become multilingual to communicate with the conquistadores. So, the texts present a treasure trove of multilingual words that capture the ambience of the era. Bru Nansi’s Revival is retold in African and European languages that are relevant to the setting.
