Die europäisch-asiatischen Beziehungen, so die Herausgeber, kranken immer noch an einem Hegemonialdenken, das auf die Kolonialzeit zurückgeht, und das einer gleichberechtigten Partnerschaft im Wege steht. Die vorliegende Publikation möchte diese polarisierende Sichtweise hinterfragen und dazu beitragen, ein differenzierteres Bild nicht nur der geographisch-kulturellen Entitäten Asiens und Europas, sondern auch der komplexen europäisch-asiatischen Beziehungen zu zeichnen. Die Autoren der Beiträge aus den Bereichen Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften hinterfragen dazu eingefahrene Denkfiguren auf unterschiedliche Weise und auf verschiedenen Gebieten: Da geht es um den Zusammenhang von Übernahme westlicher Technologie und der kulturellen Pluralität Asiens, um Machtstrukturen im akademischen Diskurs im Sinne von Edward Saids "Orientalism", und um die wechselseitige Abhängigkeit von Europa und Asien. Weitere Beiträge sind unter anderem den britischen und indischen Gesundheitswesen im 19. Jh. sowie der Frage nach der gegenwärtigen Situation von Migranten aus dem indischen Raum in Europa gewidmet. Die Beiträge sind aus dem an der Universität Singapur veranstalteten gleichnamigen Workshop hervorgegangen, an dem Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher Disziplinen im Dezember 2001 teilgenommen hatten.

In passages of Marx's Grundrisse known as the Fragment on Machines, Marx suggested that advanced capitalist development leads to the production of autonomous machines that replace labour-power in the direct production process. Autonomist Marxist interpretations of this text have emphasized that the proliferation of immaterial labour is the historical condition that is leading to a crisis in the measure of value based on labour-time and that will lead to a future communist mode of production. Further, Mario Tronti posited that as capitalist development unfolds, it subsumes both the state and society, a concept known as the 'social factory thesis'. This integrated article analyzes Marx and autonomist Marxist perspectives in relation to the advanced development of information technology. The approach contributes to the field of library and information science (LIS) by introducing Marx's materialist conception of history to the study of social consciousness, information and information technology and materialist conceptions of information. The thesis statement posits that the total replacement of labour-power with machine-power leads to the development of what I refer to as the autonomous mode of production while network information technologies have become capital and the bourgeois state's means of subsuming and producing 'the social factory'. Case studies of Industry 4.0, Uber and smart cities support the thesis statement. The conclusion examines the social and political implications of capitalist development of the autonomous mode of production and capitalist and bourgeois state control of network information technology, offering instead the alternative path of communisation.

This book focuses on twentieth-century Australian leprosaria to explore the lives of indigenous patients and the Catholic women missionaries who nursed them. Distinguished from previous historical studies of leprosy, the book examines the care and management of the incarcerated, enabling a broader understanding of their experience, beyond a singular trope of banishment, oppression and death. From the 1930s until the 1980s, respective governments appointed the trained sisters to four leprosaria across remote northern Australia, where almost two thousand people had been removed from their homes and detained under law for years - sometimes decades. The book traces the sisters' holistic nursing from early efforts of amelioration and palliation to their part in the successful treatment of leprosy after World War II. It reveals the ways the sisters stepped out of their assigned roles and attempted to shape the institutions as places of health and hygiene, of European culture and education, and of Christianity. Making use of accounts from patients, doctors; bureaucrats; missionary men; and Indigenous families and communities, the book offers fresh perspectives on two important strands of history. First, its attention to the day-to-day work of the Australian sisters helps to demystify leprosy healthcare by female missionaries, generally. Secondly, with the sisters specifically caring for Indigenous people, this book exposes the institutional practices and goals specific to race relations of both the Australian government and Catholic missionaries. An important and timely read for anyone interested in Indigenous history, medical history and the connections between race, religion and healthcare, this book contextualizes the twentieth-century leprosy epidemic within Australia's broader colonial history
