The purpose of this Special Issue, "Egg Consumption and Human Health," is two-fold: 1. to address the lack of effect of eggs in increasing heart disease risk (this discussion will be based on what is known from epidemiological analysis and clinical interventions) and 2. to focus on the role of eggs in protecting against chronic disease. Eggs are more than just a cholesterol-containing food. They possess numerous nutritional benefits. This Special Issue will discuss eggs as a source of high-quality protein for individuals across the life spectrum, as a substantial source of choline (a known neurotransmitter involved in cognitive function), and as a source of highly bioavailable lutein and zeaxanthin (two carotenoids well-recognized for their major role in protecting against age-related macular degeneration and cataracts, as well as for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties). Finally, the potential of incorporating eggs for weight loss interventions, due to their low glycemic index and their satiety effects, will also be discussed.

Concepts of ‘balance’ have been central to modern politics, medicine and society. Yet, while many health, environmental and social challenges are discussed globally in terms of imbalances in biological, social and ecological systems, strategies for addressing modern excesses and deficiencies have focused almost exclusively on the agency of the individual. Balancing the Self explores the diverse ways in which balanced and unbalanced selfhoods have been subject to construction, intervention and challenge across the long twentieth century. Through original chapters on subjects as varied as obesity control, fatigue and the regulation of work, and the physiology of exploration in extreme conditions, the volume analyses how concepts of balance and rhetorics of empowerment and responsibility have historically been used for a variety of purposes, by a diversity of political and social agencies. Historicising present-day concerns, as well as uncovering the previously hidden interests of the past, this volume’s wide-ranging discussions of health governance, subjectivity and balance will be of interest to historians of medicine, sociologists, social policy analysts, and social and political historians alike.

"Operated on as an infant, without anesthesia, Wendy P. Williams began life at war with her body. "There were tubes everywhere, in and out of every opening," her mother reminded her on every anniversary of her surgery. Autobiography of a Sea Creature takes readers on Williams' difficult sensory journey toward healing, as she communes along the way with horseshoe crabs, dolphins, and other marine life that taught her the restorative power of beauty, resilience, and interdependence. At times luscious and lyrical, at other times analytical and reflective, this literary memoir portrays the dissociative experience of trauma and the roots of self-destructive cycles, as well as the tragic results of medical beliefs at the time that infants could not feel pain. Autobiography of a Sea Creature is both a love letter to the earth and a hopeful testament of humans' capacity to heal our deepest wounds."--

Can art heal? Jasmin Degeling pursues this question via a redefinition of Michel Foucault’s concepts of the technologies of the self as well as of care of the self through the lenses of media studies. For that purpose she describes and analyzes the media and aesthetics of Christoph Schlingensief and Elfriede Jelinek as aesthetic therapeutics. The example of the later works of theater, film, and action artist Christoph Schlingensief traces the modern political and aesthetic history of art as a medium of therapeutics, while Elfriede Jelinek’s monumental online novel »Neid (Mein Abfall von allem) – Ein Privatroman« experiments with literary writing in virtual spaces and designs an autobiographical novel that rejects any form of literary subject constitution in a feminist way. The study brings contemporary media of care into view as exercises in healing, health, and survival, and connects them to an archaeology of the aesthetic and media history of modern concepts of health and healing. Kann Kunst heilen? Dieser Frage geht Jasmin Degeling mittels einer medienwissenschaftlichen Neubestimmung von Michel Foucaults Konzepten der Techniken des Selbst sowie der Sorge um sich nach und analysiert die Medien und Ästhetiken von Christoph Schlingensief und Elfriede Jelinek als ästhetische Therapeutiken. Am Beispiel der späteren Arbeiten des Theater-, Film- und Aktionskünstlers Christoph Schlingensief zeichnet sich die moderne politische und ästhetische Geschichte von Kunst als Medium der Therapeutik ab: Der Wunsch nach einer Gesundheit des Denkens, Empfindens wie Lebens verschränkt sich dabei mit der biopolitischen Geschichte moderner, ästhetischer Heilsprogramme. Schlingensiefs Versuch, sich selbst zu heilen, schreibt sich in einen Komplex von Kunstreligion, modernem Vitalismus und Kolonialgeschichte ein. Elfriede Jelineks monumentaler Onlineroman »Neid (Mein Abfall von allem) – Ein Privatroman« experimentiert mit literarischem Schreiben in virtuellen Räumen und entwirft einen autobiographischen Roman, der jeder Form literarischer Subjektkonstitution eine feministische Absage erteilt. Diese Poetik erweist sich als Programm einer spezifisch modernen Sorge um sich: Medientechnisch ermöglicht durch das Heilsversprechen eines von der Realwelt abgetrennten Cyberspace, übt Jelinek im Format des frühen Onlinetagebuchs eine digitale Askese in virtueller Unendlichkeit, Leere und Weite und gibt so Raum für eine komplexe poetische Reflexion des Verhältnisses von Medien, Empfindung und Subjektivierung. Die Studie rückt zeitgenössische Medien der Sorge als Übungen der Heilung, der Gesundheit und des Überlebens in den Blick, und verbindet diese mit einer Archäologie der ästhetischen und medialen Geschichte moderner Konzepte von Gesundheit und Heilung.
