Après deux mille cinq cents ans de philosophie, deux ou trois cents ans de sciences sociales, plus d’un siècle de psychanalyse et quelques décennies de théories féministes puis de gender studies, peut-on encore espérer avancer dans la réflexion sur les rapports hommes-femmes? Tel est le pari de ce numéro qui interroge, du point de vue du don, leurs ambivalences, réversibilités et complexités.Qu’il s’agisse de donner la vie, de prodiguer des soins, de manifester leur sollicitude (care) envers les autres ou de faire don de leur beauté et de leurs charmes, les femmes n’ont en effet cessé d’être identifiées, sinon assignées au don. Pandora, première femme et première épouse pour les Grecs, n’était-elle pas ce cadeau des dieux fait aux hommes? Mère de tous les dons. Mais aussi de tous les maux…Pourquoi les dons des femmes sont-ils, paradoxalement, tout à la fois célébrés et déniés, comme si le don véritable ne pouvait qu’être masculin? Plus encore, l’idée même d’un don féminin a-t-elle un sens? Doit-on nécessairement la réduire soit à une prescription de Dame Nature, soit à une pure construction sociale et culturelle ? Comment, en définitive, penser un sujet féminin dans un autre rapport au don que celui qui l’aliène ?

Can evaluation be used to improve programs? Can it contribute to program effectiveness? Do evaluators bear any responsibility for evaluation use and program improvement? This skillfully honed revision by master storyteller and evaluator Michael Quinn Patton grapples with the answers to these questions and provides the most comprehensive review and integration ever done of the vast literature on evaluation use and practice. Earlier editions are popular with more than 26,000 students of evaluation as a core or supplemental text. This entirely rewritten edition offers readers a full-fledged evaluation text from identifying primary users of an evaluation to focusing the evaluation, making methods decisions, analyzing data, and presenting findings. Both practical and theoretical, Utilization-Focused Evaluation: The New Century Text, Third Edition tells how to conduct program evaluations and why to conduct them in the manner prescribed. Each chapter contains a review of the relevant literature and actual case examples to illustrate major points. Finally, the book offers a definite point of view developed from observing much of what has passed for program evaluation that has not been very useful: Program evaluation ought to be useful and something different must be done if evaluation is to be useful. Thought-provoking topics new to this edition are: - Using participatory evaluation processes to change a program's culture and build a learning organization. - Alternative evaluator roles connected to varying situations and diverse evaluation purposes. - Getting started: generating commitment to use. - How evaluators can nurture results-oriented, reality-testing leadership in programs and organizations. - Specific techniques for managing the power dynamics of working with primary intended users as well as evaluation stakeholders. - A paradigm of choices beyond the qualitative-quantitative methods debate. - Concrete and practical approaches for facilitating evaluation processes and working with diverse stakeholders. - Development evaluation fully elaborated. - Utilization-focused evaluation and the Experimenting Society (tribute to Donald T. Campbell). - Ethical issues in utilization-focused evaluation. - Fourteen fundamental premises of utilization-focused evaluation that are completely revised and updated. In addition, Patton has supplemented the book with the following pedagogical features to enhance your, and your students', understanding of the concepts: - More than 50 new exhibits for teaching and training use. - Menus developed as special tools for working with stakeholders in selecting evaluation decision options. - New examples and ideas for useful presentations and graphics. - Plus, the stories and parables you''ve come to expect--and love--from Patton. Written with humor, a soft touch, and the sound advice of two decades of experience, Utilization-Focused Evaluation: The New Century Text, Third Edition provides an overall framework and concrete advice for conducing useful evaluations.

Na een turnongeval komt de zeventienjarige Annemie Heselmans in een rolstoel terecht. De diagnose is hard: een verlamming of paralyse vanaf de nek en geen zelfstandige ademhaling.In haar autobiografisch boek vertelt Annemie hoe ze samen met haar familie haar leven weer inricht. Uiteindelijk behaalt ze twee masterdiploma’s en schopt ze het tot doctor in de biomedische wetenschappen. ‘Doctoreren doe je met je hoofd.’Fragmenten uit haar échte leven en haar vele verblijven in het ziekenhuis wisselen elkaar af. De anekdotes uit de praktijk zorgen voor een gezonde verwondering over ogenschijnlijk normale omgangsvormen in de gezondheidszorg en de maatschappij. Verwondering die al eens overgaat in verbazing, bevreemding en zelfs verbijstering. Annemie nodigt de lezer uit om door haar ogen mee te kijken naar een andere realiteit.
