Gaudiopolis (The City of Joy) was a pedagogical experiment that
operated in a post-World War II orphanage in Budapest. This book
tells the story of this children's republic that sought to heal the
wounds of wartime trauma, address prejudice and expose the children
to a firsthand experience of democracy. The children were educated
in freely voicing their opinions, questioning authority, and
debating ideas. The account begins with the saving of hundreds of
Jewish children during the Siege of Budapest by the Lutheran
minister Gabor Sztehlo together with the International Red Cross.
After describing the everyday life and practices of self-rule in
the orphanage that emerged from this rescue operation, the book
tells how the operation of the independent children's home was
stifled after the communist takeover and how Gaudiopolis was
disbanded in 1950. The book then discusses how this attempt of
democratization was erased from collective memory. The erasure
began with the banning of a film inspired by Gaudiopolis. The
Communist Party financed Somewhere in Europe in 1947 as propaganda
about the construction of a new society, but the film's director
conveyed a message of democracy and tolerance instead of adhering
to the tenets of socialist realism. The book breaks the subsequent
silence on "The City of Joy," which lasted until the fall of the
Iron Curtain and beyond.
This ground-breaking study of cross-cultural theatre in the
Australasian region focuses on theatrical events and practices in
avant-garde and mainstream contexts. It explores the cultural and
political dimensions of Australia's engagement with Asia and sheds
light on international arts marketing and trends in cross-cultural
performance training.
Stem Cells and Biomaterials for Regenerative Medicine addresses the
urgent need for a compact source of information on both the
cellular and biomaterial aspects of regenerative medicine. By
developing a mutual understanding between three separately
functioning areas of science-medicine, the latest technology, and
clinical economics-the volume encourages interdisciplinary
relationships that will lead to solutions for the significant
challenges faced by today's regenerative medicine. Users will find
sections on the homeostatic balance created by apoptosis and
proliferating tissue stem cells, the naturally regenerative
capacities of various tissue types, the potential regenerative
benefits of iPS-generation, various differentiation protocols, and
more. Written in easily accessbile language, this volume is
appropriate for any professional or medical staff looking to expand
their knowledge with regard to stem cells and regenerative
medicine.
