5th World Congress World Institute of Pain – WIP

Mar 13, 2009 - Mar 16, 2009,
New-York, New York United States

The World Institute of Pain was founded in 1994 as an organization to better educate the pain physicians for the 21st century.

The theme of the World Congress is: Better education, better relief. One of its main goals is to advance the management of pain centers to a level of excellence. Much useful work in this direction is being carried out by various pain associations whose contribution in educating physicians about pain syndromes and their management is of immense importance. However, there is also a need to implement the knowledge continuously provided by various pain associations.

WIP aims to supplement these efforts at implementation. This is being done by providing pain centers with mutual opportunities for education and training, and by promoting higher standards of work efficiency. Among other things, WIP develops links among pain centers, helps physicians and the public get acquainted with the activity of these centers, promotes knowledge and management skills at each pain center, provide opportunities for patient consultations through its many links, advance physician training, evolve better treatment protocols, develop criteria for quality certification and provide a specialised examination which offers the opportunity to be certified in interventional pain practice.

What did Mr Miniver Read? The Fears and Aspirations of the ‘Masculine Middlebrow’ Writer, 1880-1950

Mar 13, 2009 - Mar 14, 2009,
Institute of English Studies, University of London London, England United Kingdom

Writers of the feminine middlebrow have been studied with increasing discernment and energy since the publication of many forgotten titles by women novelists by Virago from 1977, and by Persephone Books from 1999. Increasingly research has sought to link texts by both male and female writers associated with middlebrow tastes and to identify the kinds of cultural status they were afforded or denied. This conference focuses on the masculine middlebrow: texts aimed at Mr rather than Mrs Miniver. We aim to look in the den, and on his side of the bed, rather than on her bedside table.

‘Middlebrow' was a pejorative term by 1925, and can be traced as an increasingly complex social indicator until after the Second World War. The cultural tastes of the ‘middling sorts' became increasingly difficult to police and categorise. Though the cultural distinctions reflected in the use of the term persist to this day, we wish to encourage examination of the texts produced during the period when the culture wars were fiercest: the period 1880-1950.

In rereading texts, some forgotten and long disregarded, we also revisit works which are unfashionable and morally repugnant to many in our own time. For a better understanding of middlebrow we need to be open to these aspects, and to understand what the ‘ordinary' reader of the day was absorbing from the texts of the ‘masculine middlebrow'.
