omaniblogDzakyem- lovely to hear from you here - all the way from Switzerland...
I'm afraid I don't have the motivation to read the text contained in that link. It might inform me, educate me - but I'm too emotionally horrified by what was done to Irish women...
As for your assertion that something "should" be done - I love finding out your view - I'm glad to get to know you better...
My angle is different : let's have emotion in charge - let's have reason in the driving seat - let's have diverse people. Some are more driven by emotions - others are more comfortable with rationality - I love the experience of meeting people who aren't all reasonable. Diversity rules my heart.
I'm glad you're not the same as me :)
dzakyemDisrespect and power abuse should be fought against. Social relationships were harder in the past and disrespect for the "uneducated" was sometimes extreme. / I found a medical article on the practice described in the film. It helped me to understand what was indeed performed (not a cutting of a bone but of cartilage between two bones). To make the best of a bad job (but not too bad: "mild or moderate CPD"), it seems to be one relevant measure. Discerning use seems to be difficult though, and it is delicate too. Negative consequences seem to be avoidable. If having multiple children was the goal, this practice was apparently the only adequate intervention. / Reasonable beyond our emotions we should try to keep. Easier said than done.
soundmapMany thanks, your recording's now on the UK Soundmap.
bulldoziaBinaural recording, 19 June 2011. Watching part of Christian Marclay's The Clock, a 24-hour montage of thousands of film and TV clips that reference times of the day or the passage of time. As well as the soundtrack, you can also hear sounds from outside the exhibition space (particularly the cafe-bar downstairs), of people entering and leaving, the whispering of an usher, and my four-year-old companion spotting the appearance of clocks and watches on screen.
