Spender von Körperfragmenten werden gegenwärtig vom biomedizinischen Forschungsregime exkludiert. Die Deutungshoheit über die gespendeten Körperfragmente bleibt folglich allein bei den Forschenden. Die vom rechtswissenschaftlichen Diskurs vorgeschlagene Lösung lautet wiederum: Ermächtigung der Exkludierten durch Anerkennung neuer subjektiver Rechte am menschlichen Körper. In diesem Beitrag wird ein anderer Weg eingeschlagen, namentlich die Anerkennung eines impersonalen Rechts des fragmentierten und entgrenzten menschlichen Körpers selbst. Die Funktion dieses Rechts soll nach der hier vertretenen These darin bestehen, die Deutungsoffenheit dieses Körpers vor einseitigen Bestimmungen seitens einzelner Akteure zu bewahren. Schließlich soll aufgezeigt werden, wie ein solches Recht im Kontext der Biobankenforschung umgesetzt werden kann. ; + ID der Publikation: unilu_28703 + Sprache: Deutsch + Letzte Aktualisierung: 2018-05-16 12:10:19

The notion of transition receives noticeable attention in political as well as scientific arenas. In the policy arena in the Netherlands, significant results have not been achieved yet despite all the efforts on 'managing' the transition to a sustainable energy sector. Although the scientific literature on transitions contains publications from 25 countries, the US was most important before 2000 and authors from the Netherlands have been dominant since. Simulations of energy transitions are in its early stages, compared to their potential. Our bibliographical analysis of the transition literature shows that the number of papers mentioning simulations is low, only 19 out of 142, and their young. Most of those papers describe case studies that focus on autonomous, unmanaged transitions; only a few aim their simulations at transition management. Complex systems theory tells us that energy infrastructures – true socio-technical systems – cannot be designed. Therefore, transition management is a paradox: when transitions are expected to take decades, how could we know what actions to take now in order to shape energy infrastructures in such a way that the preferred transition will occur over decades? And at the end of the day, how could we attribute the result to transition management activities, whether the transition was successful or not? This paradox is no argument to wait: policy issues regarding energy infrastructures have to be made today. Therefore, we have set out for simulations of energy transition, using agent-based models, as to support energy transition management. Results from three cases – regarding CO2 reduction from power generation, the electricity-intensity of consumer lighting, and a spot market for LNG trade – have proved that it is possible to gain useful insights in how the myriad of decisions made in energy infrastructures can be influenced in a way that a transition is likely. ; Infrastructures, Systems and Services ; Technology, Policy and Management

In this landmark study, now celebrating thirty years in print, Paul Rabinow takes as his focus the fieldwork that anthropologists do. How valid is the process? To what extent do the cultural data become artifacts of the interaction between anthropologist and informants? Having first published a more standard ethnographic study about Morocco, Rabinow here describes a series of encounters with his informants in that study, from a French innkeeper clinging to the vestiges of a colonial past, to the rural descendants of a seventeenth-century saint. In a new preface Rabinow considers the thirty-year life of this remarkable book and his own distinguished career

Beijing presents a clear and gathering threat to Washington—but not for the reasons you think. China's challenge to the West stems from its transformative brand of capitalism and an entirely different conception of the international community.Taking us on a whirlwind tour of China in the world—from dictators in Africa to oligarchs in Southeast Asia to South American strongmen—Halper demonstrates that China's illiberal vision is rapidly replacing that of the so-called Washington Consensus. Instead of promoting democracy through economic aid, as does the West, China offers no-strings-attached gi
