]]> 2013-05-25T19:56:55-08:00 2012-04-19 - Exhibit - Symbols of living in-between: Re-stor(y)ing life within life-threatening illness http://events.uvic.ca/?view=day&cal=22&day=19&month=04&year=2012#event_heading_84229 Description:Advances in science and healthcare have allowed people with life-threatening illnesses to live longer and healthier lives. But the outcomes of treatment are uncertain and the experience of living in-between a promise of prolonged life, and the possibility of illness reoccurring and progressing, is often misunderstood.

Thirty-two people diagnosed with a life-threatening illness (cancer, chronic kidney disease, and HIV/AIDS) volunteered for an interview. They were asked to identify a symbol that represented their experience with their diagnosed illness. Symbols of living in-between: Re-stor(y)ing life within life-threatening illness is the collective effort from a team of nurse researchers seeking new insights into the experiences of individuals that live with the uncertainty of a serious illness.

This exhibit shares a selection of these important images and stories with the public. Symbols range from personal objects and medical documents to favourite music, clothing, and family photographs. Narratives from the participants and poems produced by the research team accompany the stories of these individuals living with a life-threatening illness. The symbols and narratives highlight how living with a life-threatening illness is much more than a “medical story.”

Symbols of living in-between: Re-stor(y)ing life within life-threatening illness is a travelling exhibit and will be displayed in multiple spaces from galleries to healthcare facilities. This exhibit is part of a larger study entitled Re-stor(y)ing Life Within Life-Threatening Illness. The Re-stor(y)ing project has been funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). KRESCENT and the Kidney Foundation of Canada has provided additional support.

This free exhibit runs from April 13 to June 4, 2012, at the Maltwood Prints and Drawings Gallery in the McPherson Library (Lower Level) at UVic. Gallery follows regular library hours.

Together, the Division of Medical Sciences and the Department of Biology host Dr. David Kleinfeld on Thursday, April 19th.

David Kleinfeld's group at UCSD studies issues in Systems Neuroscience, with a focus on perception and sensorimotor control in the vibrissa system as well as on the topology and neuronal coupling of corticol vasculature.

He will speak on the latter topic, with a focus on the use of nonlinear imaging to reveal the nature of cortical blood flow. This work revealed points of robustness versus weakness, hence the relation to microinfarcts in disease, as well as points of likely neuronal control.

For historian Benedict Anderson, nations are synthetic constructions that we come to imagine as communities through various systems of exchange that include public meeting places and the reproduction of images and narratives.

On Communities and Nations examines Anderson’s concept of imagined communities in relationship to the emergence of First Nations printmaking practices in the late twentieth century.
