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). This collection includes contributions from Sophie Bourgault, Fabienne Brugere, Solange Chavel, Aurelie Damamme, Estelle Ferrarese, Marie Garrau, Claude Gautier, Naima Hamrouni, Monique Lanoix, Sandra Laugier, Pascale Molinier, Vanessa Nurock, Patricia Paperman.

The Politics of Voice in Education Reforming Schools after Deleuze and Guattari


Free Download Eve Mayes, "The Politics of Voice in Education: Reforming Schools after Deleuze and Guattari "
English | ISBN: 1474451209 | 2023 | 264 pages | PDF | 5 MB
Engaging with the voices of students and educators and the work of Gilles Deleuze and FĂ©lix Guattari, Eve Mayes crafts an account of what voice can and must do in education. The book works with the textures, tremors and murmurs of voice felt over ten years of ethnographic and participatory research in Australian schools – from research encounters with students and puppets, to school governance council meetings, to school reform evaluation processes, to students’ political activism. It offers a timely critique of the liberal humanist and late capitalist logics of student voice in educational reform, entwined with an affirmation of other possibilities for transversal pedagogical relations in and beyond institutional sites of education.

Rethinking Participation in Global Governance Voice and Influence after Stakeholder Reforms in Global Finance and Healt


Free Download Joost Pauwelyn, "Rethinking Participation in Global Governance: Voice and Influence after Stakeholder Reforms in Global Finance and Healt"
English | ISBN: 0198852568 | 2022 | 592 pages | PDF | 8 MB
International organizations and other global governance bodies often make rules and decisions without input from many of the individuals, groups, firms, and governments that are affected by them. The standards of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, for instance, developed by a small number of states, govern financial markets and the safety of bank deposits in over a hundred jurisdictions. Historically, the interests of developing countries, as well as non-commercial and diffuse interests within countries, have been excluded or disregarded in global governance. Scholars and practitioners have criticised this democratic deficit and called for greater participation of such marginalized stakeholders. Against this background, international institutions have introduced a variety of reforms with the goal of increasing and facilitating the participation of these excluded stakeholders.

Your Body, Your Voice The Key to Natural Singing and Speaking


Free Download Your Body, Your Voice: The Key to Natural Singing and Speaking by Theodore Dimon Jr, G. David Brown
English | September 27, 2011 | ISBN: 158394320X | 184 pages | PDF | 5.08 Mb
In this innovative book, Theodore Dimon, EdD, shows how each part of the vocal organ (breathing, larynx, throat, and so on) works as part of a larger musculoskeletal system that is often interfered with, and how identifying this larger system and understanding in a practical way how it works allows a person to train and improve the voice, whether speaking or singing. Traditional vocal training methods, says Dimon, cannot be effective without restoring the functioning of the musculature that supports the voice.
