Curating with Care

Curating with Care

This book presents over 20 authors’ reflections on ‘curating care’ – and presents a call to give curatorial attention to the primacy of care for all life and for more ‘caring curating’ that responds to the social ecological and political analysis of curatorial caregiving. Social and ecological struggles for a different planetary culture based on care and respect for the dignity of life are reflected in contemporary curatorial practices that explore human and non-human interdependence. The prevalence of themes of care in curating is a response to a dual crisis: the crisis of social and ecological care that characterizes global politics and the professional crisis of curating under the pressures of the increasingly commercialized cultural landscape. Foregrounding that all beings depend on each other for life and survival this book collects theoretical essays methodological challenges and case studies from curators working in different global geographies to explore the range of ways in which curatorial labour is rendered as care. Practising curators activists and theorists situate curatorial labour in the context of today’s general care crisis. This volume answers to the call to more fully understand how their transformative work allows for imagining the future of bodily social and environmental care and the ethics of interdependency differently. | Curating with Care

The book contributes to the critical understanding of inequitable abstracting processes’ growing determination of increasing parts of our world and foregrounds art’s position amidst these.

Personal Safety for Health Care Workers

Personal Safety for Health Care Workers

This book is aimed at employers managers and professional and administrative staff in the health care services. GP practices home visits and the hospital are all covered. Despite growing evidence of violence against health care workers some employers have been slow to acknowledge the risks faced in both primary and secondary health care settings. Personal Safety for Health Care Workers provides the tools to investigate the risks involved and to develop policy and practice to ensure staff safety. It also deals with the vexed question of under-reporting. Part I deals with the respective roles and responsibilities of employers and employees and offers guidance on developing a workplace personal safety policy. Workplace design and management are addressed and guidelines provided for health care workers when away from their normal work base. Part 2 gives detailed guidelines for use by individual workers in a variety of work situations. Part 3 considers training issues and contains a number of sample training programmes with handouts. The message of this book is that prevention is better than cure - proper attention to risk can reduce both the incidence of aggression and its development into violent acts. The aim is to achieve the dual effect of protecting health care workers and also of providing services in a more sensitive way. Good practice implies a responsibility to ensure that health care can be delivered in conditions of safety for staff and patients alike.

Is residential care 'inherently harmful'? This book argues that this conventional wisdom is wrong and is itself harmful to a significant number of children and youth.

The nature of high-quality care is explored through child development theory and research and two empirically supported models of care are described in detail. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of child development child welfare youth work social work and education as well as professionals working within these fields. | Challenging the Conventional Wisdom about Residential Care for Children and Youth A Good Place to Grow

Helping the Problem Drinker New Initiatives in Community Care

Performance The Ethics and the Politics of Conservation and Care Volume I

This book focuses on performance and performance-based artworks as seenthrough the lens of conservation which has long been overlooked in the largertheoretical debates about whether and how performance remains. Unraveling the complexities involved in the conservation of performance Performance: The Ethics and the Politics of Conservation and Care (vol. 1)brings this new understanding to bear in examining performance as an object ofstudy experience acquisition and care. In so doing it presents both theoreticalframeworks and functional paradigms for thinking about—and enacting—theconservation of performance. Further while the conservation of performance isundertheorized performance is nevertheless increasingly entering the artmarket and the museum meaning that there is an urgent need for discourse onhow to care for these works long-term. In recent years a few pioneering conservators curators and scholars have begun to create frameworks for the longtermcare of performance. This volume presents explicates and contextualizestheir work so that a larger discourse can commence. It will thus serve the needsof conservation students and professors for whom literature on this subject issorely needed. This interdisciplinary book thus implements a novel rethinking of performancethat will challenge and revitalize its conception in many fields such as art history theater performance studies heritage studies and anthropology. | Performance The Ethics and the Politics of Conservation and Care Volume I
