Transfeminizm(y) i kapitalizm „gore”
No full textValencia is the author of the concept of gore capitalism based on a diagnosis of male violence as the modus operandi of capitalism in its current phase (Valencia 2010); in many parts of the world, gendered violence is one of the primary tools of capital accumulation.

Since no one is born a man only becomes one, he can always become differently, outside the framework set by the hegemonic pattern of masculinity.Valencia jest autorką koncepcji kapitalizmu gore opartej na diagnozie męskiej przemocy jako modus operandi obecnej fazy kapitalizmu (Valencia 2010); w wielu częściach świata upłciowiona przemoc stanowi jedno z podstawowych narzędzi akumulacji kapitału. W niniejszym tekście odnosi tę koncepcje do transfeminizmu i postuluje uwolnienie męskości z toksycznego i destrukcyjnego romansu z kapitalizmem. Skoro nikt nie rodzi się mężczyzna, tylko się nim staje, to zawsze może stawać się inaczej, poza ramami wyznaczanymi przez hegemoniczny wzorzec męskości
Over-the-balloon placement of the Gore Hybrid Vascular Graft in challenging clinical conditions
No full textThis report describes a useful technique for deployment of the Gore Hybrid Vascular Graft (W. L.
