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

Ethical Health Care

Ethical Health Care

Offering a format that is significantly different than that offered by other books Ethical Health Care beings by asking what is meant by health and how it is achieved. The book then proceeds to explore with care and context the nature of the relationship between patients and clinicians health care providers and the societies in which they inhabit and finally the relationship between the health care enterprise and the international community. By emphasizing the ethical issues that arise in the broad quest to foster human health and appreciating that health is not primarily a function of medical interventions Ethical Health Care introduces students to problems such as the international distribution of pharmaceuticals and the dangers of reemerging infections. To a far greater extent than is done traditionally Ethical Health Care provides an interdisciplinary perspective to bioethics relying heavily upon the teachings of economics law and public health.

Art Labour Text and Radical Care

Art Labour Text and Radical Care

Through developing an ethical-methodological approach of ‘radical care' this book explores how critical artistic practice might contribute to the materialisation of more equal more collectively fulfilling possibilities of being. The chapters trace a set of interweaving lineages perpetuating inequalities: through labour the body and onto-epistemology. Art’s all too frequent a-criticality cooption or even complicity amidst these lineages is observed and radical care and the disruptive arttext are developed as twin aspects of an alternative resistant framework. 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. It also functions as an interface both extending the fertile current discourse around care to a contemporary art focus and at the same time exploring how radical art practices might contribute to a politics rooted in an ethics of care. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history studio art philosophy and politics. | Art Labour Text and Radical Care

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.
