Agatha Christie is one of the most popular and most translated authors of all time. Yet there is little academic work on her writing. During this exploration the discovery will be made that, when ...translated, Christie's detective fiction actually becomes a highly political affair.
Ella está presente en mis recuerdos, no solo en la vida académica sino en experiencias, charlas, viajes, en ese rinconcito y esa silla de su Taller que eran solo míos y no compartía con nadie. ...Acuerda con Susan Sontag en que el verdadero arte inquieta a la gente y considera, que, si bien quisiera poner nerviosos a sus lectores, al mismo tiempo su objetivo es darles felicidad. De aquí en adelante casi todos sus personajes son mujeres y su obra se convierte en una extensa reflexión sobre lo que significa ser mujer. La categoría de género responde ala elección del feminismo anglosajón y se constituye en la construcción social y cultural de la diferencia de sexos. Como fenómeno variable y contextual el género no denota a un ser sustantivo, sino a punto relativo de convergencias entre series de relaciones culturales e históricas específicas. Sostenemos que la lengua no es universal ni neutra, sino que se inscribe y simboliza en el interior de su misma estructura, en un proceso de construcción de sentido, la diferencia sexual, que deja de ser así natural para transformarse en un hecho cultural. En la etapa feminista de su obra se ataca la construcción discursiva de larga data que recluye a la mujer en el ámbito privado de la maternidad y el hogar a causa de su inferioridad.

This book is a comprehensive exploration of 90 years of film and television adaptations of the world's best-selling novelist's work. Drawing on extensive archival material, it offers new information ...regarding both the well-known and forgotten screen adaptations of Agatha Christie's stories, including unmade and rare adaptations, some of which have been unseen for more than half a century. This history offers intriguing insights into the discussions and debates that surrounded many of these screen projects - something that is brought to life through previously unpublished correspondence from Christie herself and a new wide-ranging interview with her grandson, Mathew Prichard. Agatha Christie on Screen takes the reader on a journey from little known silent film adaptations, through to famous screen productions including 1974's Murder on the Orient Express, as well as the television series of the Poirot and Miss Marple stories and, most recently, the BBC's acclaimed version of And Then There Were None.

...the study's findings should help guide clinicians in making decisions about management of patients with advanced Parkinson's disease, particularly when considering use of deep brain stimulation or ...intestinal infusion of levodopa–carbidopa gel. ...some patients might not have achieved optimal levodopa concentrations because each dose's benefits often last for less than 3 h. Hence, although the multidrug medication regimens might reflect real-world management of Parkinson's disease, the study might have missed an opportunity to assess outcomes from more closely spaced oral levodopa doses and greater rates of apomorphine infusion to gain better control of motor fluctuations. The Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Program that PAL directs has received clinical research grant support for conducting clinical trials from Acorda, Adamas, Biotie, Cavion, Intec, Lundbeck, NeuroDerm, The Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, The Parkinson Study Group, Roche, Sunovion, and US WorldMeds.
...to reduce the poverty-inducing health costs caused by expensive medicines. The Commission set out the challenges for Chinese cities as the foundation for Xi's notion of an ecocivilisation: ...unprecedented expansion, an epidemic of non-communicable diseases, the threat of newly emerging infections, an ageing population, rising health costs, and growing health inequities. ...to connect health to the country's broader socioeconomic development, emphasising the quality as well as the quantity of development.
While the relationship between modernism and its 'sister-genre' detective fiction Brian McHale, Postmodern Fiction (New York: Methuen, 1987), p. 59 has tended to be characterised in oppositional ...terms, recent scholarship has challenged this conceptualisation, arguing that the two forms can be productively read in relation to each other. However, the ways in which detective fiction, like modernist writing, is invested in questions of temporality remains underexplored. This paper argues that detective fiction simultaneously asserts and challenges modernity's universal, standardised time-keeping regime. This argument is developed through a detailed examination of Agatha Christie's The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, in which the criminal's ability to elude the net of modern time is only exceeded by the detective's ability to reassert it, and then through a wider discussion of the way this pattern reappears throughout the genre.
