Jasper Hoiby What It Means To Be Human (LP)
Beschrijving
Bol
In 1872, a woman known only as 'An Ernest Englishwoman' published an open letter entitled 'Are women animals?', in which she protested the fact that women were not treated as fully human. In reality, their status was worse than that of animals: regulations prohibiting cruelty against dogs, horses and cattle were significantly more punitive than laws against cruelty to women. What does it mean to be 'human' rather than 'animal'? If the Ernest Englishwoman had turned her gaze to the previous century, her critique could equally have applied to slaves. In her time and beyond, the debate around human status involved questions of language, facial physiology, and vegetarianism. If she had been capable of looking 100 years into the future, she might have wondered about chimeras, created by transplanting animal fluids and organs into human bodies, or the ethics of stem cell research. In this meticulously researched, wide-ranging and illuminating book, Joanna Bourke explores the legacy of more than two centuries, and looks forward to what the future might hold for humans and animals.

Bol PartnerWhat It Means To be Human is de tweede in een reeks van vier albums van Jasper Høiby's Planet B, met saxofonist Josh Arcoleo en drummer Marc Michel, die zich richten op mondiale onderwerpen die van vitaal belang zijn - mensheid, klimaatverandering, kunstmatige intelligentie en monetaire hervorming. Dit album zoekt verbinding. Een verbinding tussen de mensheid en de planeet, tussen de problemen waar we allemaal mee te maken hebben en over een opportunistisch optimisme om ze op te lossen. Het brein is Jasper Høiby, de gewaardeerde en gerespecteerde Deense bassist en de diep nadenkende, expressieve en visionaire artiest. Hoewel er veel momenten zijn die de virtuositeit en keiharde grooves van Phronesis laten zien, de al lang bestaande band die Jasper in de schijnwerpers zette, biedt Planet B extra beloningen van subtiele expressie.
