Abstract

Estelle Ferrarese is one of the leading figures of the contemporary French reception of critical theory and this book offers a renewal of the thinking of Theodor W. Adorno. Ferrarese develops our thinking about the social conditions of caring for others, while arguing for an understanding of morality that is materialist and political - always - already political. Taking the social philosopher Theodor W. Adorno as a point of departure, she questions this social philosophy by submitting it to ideas deriving from theories of care. She thinks through the mechanisms of the social fragility of caring for others, the moral gesture it enjoins, as well as its political stakes.

Abstract

This book will focus on caring and caring leadership at both interpersonal and organizational levels. There have been very few treatments of caring as applied to school leadership. Most attention has been paid to caring among teachers and students. Moreover, most books in education on caring focus on the interpersonal dimensions of caring, the actions and interactions between the one caring and the one cared for. While the interpersonal is very important in our conceptualization of caring school leadership, this book will argue that caring in leadership cannot be fully understood nor its benefits fully achieved without exploring caring organizationally and without examining the role of leadership in cultivating caring among others and promoting aspects of school organization conducive to caring. This book is unlike many other books about school leadership practice. Readers will not find in this book "to-do" lists or scripts. Readers will not find compilations of strategies that are universally effective. This book is an exposition of ideas, principles, and values illustrated with examples of how to make school leadership practice more caring. We present caring school leadership as situational, dynamic, relational, and personal. There is no "one size fits all" for caring leadership. We eschew the notion of recipes, of telling readers specifically what to do. Instead, we present principles and possibilities to inform and inspire. A key feature of this book will be multiple vignettes of practice illustrating actions and interactions of caring and caring leadership in schools. We have collected nearly 40 first-person stories recounting acts of caring and caring school leadership from practicing principals, assistant, and associate principals and teachers. The authors will be collecting more of these stories as they prepare the final manuscript. These stories include both "hits and misses", that is, actions and interactions that achieve the aims of caring and those that fall short. The authors will include summaries of arguments and take-away points at the end of each chapter. These summaries will be accompanied by study/discussion questions that will aim to engage readers more deeply in the content of each chapter and challenge them to consider this content in relation to their own practice.

Abstract

La 4e de couv. indique : "A la racine des inégalités de notre organisation sociale, il y a cette idée qu'une femme, c'est toujours un peu moins légitime, compétent, important qu'un homme. Voilà pourquoi on craint, à chaque soubresaut de l'histoire, que ne se réalise la prédiction de Simone de Beauvoir : "Il suffira d'une crise politique, économique ou religieuse pour que les droits des femmes soient remis en question." De fait, la parole d'expertise et de pouvoir des hommes a repris le dessus durant la crise, alors même que nous redécouvrions que le vaste peuple, aussi indispensable qu'invisible, des travailleurs qui prennent soin des autres était massivement constitué de femmes. De sorte que le combat feministe pour l'égalité peut s'identifier à la défense d'un projet de société qui, au nom de notre vulnérabilité commune, reconnaisse enfin une valeur au travail du soin et à la contribution de chacun plutôt qu'au pouvoir de quelques-uns. Telle est l'éthique démocratique du care."

Abstract

Le care ou le souci des autres est une zone de conflits, de tiraillements et de dominations. Celle, notamment, du travail salarié des professionnels du soin et de l'assistance, constitué essentiellement d'un salariat féminin subalterne, surexploité et stigmatisé par son manque de qualification, et parfois sa couleur de peau ; celle, aussi, du travail domestique toujours inégalement distribué. Or on ne pourra jamais évacuer complètement le sale boulot, il est urgent de penser une transformation politique du travail et de la société en plaçant le care au centre de la réflexion sur le travail. Cet ouvrage défend une position singulière, sensible et forte, au sein des débats contemporains autour du care et propose de changer de regard sur le travail, sur le soin et sur la société. C'est cette position que, d'entrée de jeu, la préface de cette nouvelle édition renforce en répondant et en désarmant avec brio les polémiques sur le care, polémiques parfois induites par la précédente édition, publiée en 2013. Ce qui conduit l'auteure à mettre la focale sur ce qu'est vraiment la perspective du care et à montrer l'inédit de cette posture théorique.

Abstract

This edited volume offers translations of important texts published by francophone care ethics scholars since the early 2000s. The anthology hopes to give readers a glimpse of the diversity of French-language care scholarship and of its unwavering commitment to showing that care is fundamentally political. The first part of the volume offers critical reflections on the controversies and debates that accompanied the introduction of care ethics in French-speaking academic life and in public debates. It also includes essays that reflect on the concepts of vulnerability and?the ordinary?. In the second part of the anthology, readers will find essays that place care ethics in conversation with other bodies of literature (disability studies, animal ethics, nanoethics, neorepublicanism, liberal theory, continental philosophy, contemporary feminist thought).00This collection includes contributions from Sophie Bourgault, Fabienne Brugère, Solange Chavel, Aurélie Damamme, Estelle Ferrarese, Marie Garrau, Claude Gautier, Naïma Hamrouni, Monique Lanoix, Sandra Laugier, Pascale Molinier, Vanessa Nurock, Patricia Paperman. The volume also includes a foreword by Fiona Robinson.

Abstract

This book investigates the relationship between philosophical phenomenology and ethics of care. The relationship between these two traditions in normative philosophy is particularly fascinating for theoretical scholars, researchers as well as bioethicists and health care clinicians. Both traditions elucidate the normative significance of human experience, emotion and embodiment. One reason for investigating the relationship is that care is both a concept (ethical, sociological etc.), a practice, and a phenomenon that has significant bearing upon human existence. Care as a phenomenon and concept also regards the human condition and experience as being invested with normativity. The book brings together care ethicists of different scholarly generations and from different countries (Belgium, Norway, USA, the Netherlands) who each explain their version of phenomenology, and secondly it includes three of today's prominent German phenomenologists who have reflected on care. Hopefully, the collection will stimulate care ethicists to inquire more deeply into phenomenology, and phenomenologists looking for connection with care ethics.

Abstract

Emotions are not universal, but are experienced and expressed in diverse ways within different cultures and times. This overview of the history of emotions within nineteenth-century British imperialism focuses on the role of the compassionate emotions, or what today we refer to as empathy, and how they created relations across empire. Jane Lydon examines how empathy was produced, qualified and contested, including via the fear and anger aroused by frontier violence. She reveals the overlooked emotional dimensions of relationships constructed between Britain, her Australasian colonies, and Indigenous people, showing that ideas about who to care about were frequently drawn from the intimate domestic sphere, but were also developed through colonial experience. This history reveals the contingent and highly politicised nature of emotions in imperial deployment. Moving beyond arguments that emotions such as empathy are either 'good' or 'bad', this study evaluates their concrete political uses and effects.

Abstract

The ethics of care, developed in early 1980s within feminism as a critique on the biases of neokantian ethics, is 40 years old. This book presents its key insights, the developments and debates over the years and the challenges care ethics faces. Internationally renown scholars from various continents have contributed, a clear sign that care ethics has spread over the globe. The key insights regard issues close by, care from person to person, but also at an institutional level and questions of global impact. Vulnerability and relationality are examples of these insights. What can caring practices, ranging from social welfare to palliative care, learn from care ethics? Has care ethics had an impact on ethics at large and what is its future?"--
