Am 18. und 19. November 2017 fand, organisiert vom Forschungszentrum HCHE (Hamburg Center for Health Economics) der Universität Hamburg, der diesjährige Workshop des dggö-Ausschusses für Allokation und Verteilung statt. In neun Präsentationen wurden aktuelle Einblicke in den Forschungsstand empirischer, experimenteller und normativer Arbeiten zu Allokations- und Verteilungsfragen im Gesundheitswesen gegeben. Abgerundet wurde der Workshop durch eine Keynote-Lecture von Izabela Jelovac zum Zusammenhang zwischen Anreizen und Problemen des Zugangs in Gesundheitssystemen.

A Performance

This pair of texts, article and response – a performance poem of sorts – focuses on the sexual and textual erotics which circulate in the texts written by Jacques Derrida and Hélène Cixous for and about each other. It is based on Michael O'Rourke's ‘The Divivacities of Cixous and Derrida’, a keynote lecture delivered at the Bodies in Movement conference at Edinburgh in May of 2011 and Kamillea Aghtan's response to O'Rourke. It seeks to discuss the textual intimacies of Hélène Cixous, Jacques Derrida (and by reflection Michael O'Rourke and Kamillea Aghtan) and the various sensual bodies of text created between them. As O'Rourke enfolds his textual subjects, Aghtan repositions O'Rourke's conception of textual friendship and love in terms of her response and, by doing so, suggests a new kind of (un)balanced relationship in its writing, the creation of different amalgams and further bodies of text that are thoroughly contingent, multiplying and obstinately open-ended.

Self Driving Cars

Abstract The paper discusses the spatial consequences of the widespread use of self-driving cars and the resulting changes in the structure of urban areas. Analysing present knowledge on the technology, functionality and future forms of organisation of mobility with this type of means of transportation, conclusions are presented concerning the expected changes in the organisation of space in urban areas. The main achievement of the investigation is an outline of the fields of future research on the spatial consequences of a transportation system with a large share of self-driving cars.
