Frauen haben heute angeblich so viele Entscheidungsmöglichkeiten wie nie zuvor. Und sind gleichzeitig so erschöpft wie nie zuvor. Denn nach wie vor wird von ihnen verlangt, permanent verfügbar zu sein. Die Geschlechterforscherin Franziska Schutzbach schreibt über ein System, das von Frauen alles erwartet und nichts zurückgibt - und darüber, wie Frauen sich dagegen auflehnen und alles verändern: ihr Leben und die Gesellschaft. In unserer Gesellschaft wird Weiblichkeit gleichgesetzt mit Fürsorglichkeit. Frauen sind, ob in der Familie, in Beziehungen oder im Beruf, zuständig für emotionale Zuwendung, für Harmonie, Trost und Beziehungsarbeit - für Tätigkeiten also, die unsichtbar sind und kaum Anerkennung oder Bezahlung erfahren. Sie "schulden" anderen - der Familie, den Männern, der Öffentlichkeit, dem Arbeitsplatz - ihre Aufmerksamkeit, ihre Liebe, ihre Zuwendung, ihre Attraktivität, ihre Zeit. Und kämpfen jeden Tag gegen emotionale und sexuelle Verfügbarkeitserwartungen. Es sind diese allgegenwärtigen Ansprüche, die Frauen in die Erschöpfung treiben. Denn - deklariert als "weibliche Natur" - ist die geleistete Sorgearbeit meist wenig anerkannt und bleibt unsichtbar. Sie gilt ökonomisch als irrelevant und ist gerade deshalb ausbeutbar. Das Buch zeigt, dass die Verfügbarkeitsansprüche für unterschiedliche Frauen Unterschiedliches bedeuten: Ob als Mütter oder als Mädchen, ob als schwarze oder weiße Frauen, als Migrantin, Trans- oder non binäre Person, als dicke oder lesbische Frau, ob im Dienstleistungssektor, in Pflegeberufen oder in der digitalen (Selbst)vermarktung, ob als Politikerin oder Künstlerin - die Verausgabung hat unterschiedliche Ausmaße und unterschiedliche Ursachen. Die Geschlechterforscherin Franziska Schutzbach wendet sich gegen ein misogynes System, das von Frauen alles erwartet und nichts zurückgibt. Und sie zeigt, welch vielfältigen Widerstand Frauen gegen die Ausbeutung ihrer Energie, ihrer Psyche und ihrer Körper leisten. Ein Widerstand, der zu einer treibenden Kraft für neue Arbeits- und Lebensweisen wird und die Welt verändert. "Fürsorglichkeit, Zuwendung, Wärme: Keine Ressource wird im patriarchalen Kapitalismus so sehr ausgebeutet wie die vermeintliche "weibliche Natur", erklärt die Gender-Forscherin Franziska Schutzbach. Frauen sind dort überrepräsentiert, wo schlecht bezahlt, wenig gedankt, aber viel erwartet wird. Schutzbach zeigt, wie Frau der Verfügbarkeitsfalle entkommen kann" (Platz 4 der Sachbuch-Bestenliste für Dezember 2021)

"Viral modernity is a concept based upon the nature of viruses, the ancient and critical role they play in evolution and culture, and their basic application to understanding the role of information and forms of bioinformation in the social world. The concept draws a close association between viral biology on the one hand, and information science on the other to understand 'viral' technologies, conspiracy theory and the nature of post-truth. The pandemic COVID-19 is a major occurrence and momentous tragedy in world history with millions of infections and many deaths worldwide. It has disrupted society and the global economy has caused massive unemployment and hardship. Michael A. Peters and Tina Besley, explores human resilience and the collective response to catastrophe, and the philosophy and literature of pandemics, including 'love and social distancing in the time of Covid-19.' These essays, a collection from Educational Philosophy and Theory, also explore the politicising of COVID-19, the growth of conspiracy theories, its origins, and the ways it became a 'viral' narrative in the future of world politics"--

This book analyses the gendered nature of patent law and the knowledge governance system it supports. The vast majority of patented inventions are attributed to male inventors. While this has resulted in arguments that there are not enough women working in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, this book maintains that the issue lies with the very nature of patent law and how it governs knowledge. The reason why fewer women patent than men is that patent law and the knowledge governance system it supports are gendered. This book deconstructs patent law to reveal the multiple gendered binaries it embodies, and how these in turn reflect gendered understandings of what constitutes science and an invention, and a scientist and an inventor. Revealing the inherent biases of the patent system, as well as its reliance on an idea of the public domain, the book argues that an egalitarian knowledge governance system must go beyond socialised binaries to better govern knowledge creation, dissemination and maintenance. This book will appeal to scholars and policymakers in the field of patent law, as well as those in law and other disciplines with interests in law, gender and technology.

Coastwise examines the coastline of the British Isles as a dynamic environment and offers you an understandable explanation of how the coastline functions as a single entity. It is supported by hundreds of stunning photos and illustrations. It begins by exploring how the forces of nature combine to create its physical features (and continue to do so). This is a multifaceted story that involves ancient geology and powerful ocean forces. It then turns to the living nature of the coast, covering the unique plants, animals and other organisms whose interdependence keeps the coast alive and healthy. These amazing creatures are described and displayed in full colour. The third part of the book looks at how humans have interacted with the coast, using it for defence, commerce and leisure. It explores these aspects from the earliest times to the present day. The final section shows, for each coastal region, where the features discussed in the book can be observed and enjoyed, giving you a practical way of exploring the elements described in the book

This open access book is about exploring interesting borderline cases of art. It discusses the cases of gustatory and olfactory artworks (focusing on food), proprioceptive artworks (dance, martial arts, and rock climbing qua proprioceptive experiences), intellectual artworks (philosophical and scientific theories), as well as the vague limits between painting and photography. The book focuses on the author's research about what counts as art and what does not, as well as on the nature of these limits. Overall, the author defends a very inclusive view, 'extending' the limits of art, and he argues for its virtues. Some of the limits discussed concern our senses (our different perceptual modalities), some concern vagueness and fuzzy boundaries between different types of works of art, some concern the amount of human intention and intervention in the process of creation of an artwork, and some concern the border between art and science. In these various ways, by understanding better such borderline cases, Benovsky suggests that we get a better grip on an understanding of the nature of art.

"This book collects essays by Alan Montefiore on the role philosophy plays in the formation of the self, and how philosophical questions regarding the nature of reason, truth, and identity inform ethics and politics. It offers a comprehensive overview of Montefiore's influential, non-dogmatic philosophical voice. Throughout his 70-year career, Montefiore sought to bridge the analytic/continental divide and develop a new way of thinking about philosophy. He defines philosophy as the search for a higher-order understanding of whatever the situation or activity in which one may be involved or engaged, an understanding which may be achieved and expressed by and in a variety of different forms of philosophical persuasion, and which may serve to shed new light on particular problems. The book's essays, half of which are previously unpublished, are divided into two thematic sections. The first focuses on the nature of philosophy, while the second addresses the relationship between philosophy and moral and political responsibilities. Philosophy and the Human Paradox will be of interest to philosophers and students who work on ethics, Kantian and post-Kantian continental philosophy, and political philosophy"--

"We relate to things and things relate to us. Emerging technologies do this in ways that are interesting and exciting, but often also inaccessible or invisible. In Relating to Things, leading design researchers and philosophers respond to issues raised by this situation - inquiring into what it means to live with and relate to things that can actively relate to us, and that relate to each other in ways that do not involve us at all. Case studies include Amazon's Alexa, the Internet of Things, Pokm̌on Go and Roomba the robot vacuum cleaner. Authors explore everything from the care work undertaken by objects, reciprocal human/machine learning, technological mediation as a form of control, and what it takes to reveal things that tend to be hidden and that often (by design) conceal the ways in which they use us. As a whole, the book is a collaborative philosophical inquiry into the nature and consequences of contemporary technological things. It is a design inquiry into the current nature of the artificial, and possibilities for how things might be otherwise."--

Technological advances in computerization and robotics threaten to eliminate countless jobs from the labor market in the near future. These advances have reignited the debate about universal basic income. The essays in this collection offer unique and compelling perspectives on the ever-changing nature of work and the plausibility of a universal basic income to address the elimination of jobs from the workforce. The essays address a number of topics related to these issues, including the prospects of libertarian and anarchist justifications for a universal basic income, the positive impact of a basic income on intimate laborers such as sex workers and surrogates, the nature of "bad work" and who will do it if everyone receives a basic income, whether a universal basic income is objectionably paternalistic, and viable alternatives to a universal basic income. This book raises complex questions and avenues for future research about universal basic income and the future of work in our increasingly technological society. It will be of keen interest to graduate students and scholars in political philosophy, economics, political science, and public policy who are interested in these debates.

"The Multilevel Politics of Trade presents a timely comparative analysis of eight federations (plus the European Union) to explore why some subfederal actors have become more active in trade politics in recent years. As the contributing authors find, there is considerable variation in the intensity and modes of sub federal participation. This they attribute to three key factors: the distinctive institutional features of federal systems; the nature and scope of trade policy and trade agreements; and the extent of social mobilization that accompanies a particular trade policy conversation. As a whole, The Multilevel Politics of Trade argues that sub-federal actors' interests (jurisdictional, political, and economic) are what motivate them to participate in trade debates. However, institutional configurations, coupled with the influence of civil society actors, political parties, and others determine the nature and scope of that participation. Informed by a deep knowledge of federal dynamics, this volume provides extensive comparative analyses of all seven of the North American and European federations and represents a significant intervention into the study of both federalism and political economy."--

"Silence, Implicite et Non-Dit chez Rousseau/Silence, the Implicit, and the Unspoken in Rousseau prend acte d'un grand nombre de publications ayant trait à l'analyse par Rousseau des langues et du langage, de la parole par rapport à l'écriture, de la voix (y compris la voix de la nature). Mais ce volume se consacre tout particulièrement au fonctionnement et aux effets du silence, de l'implicite et du non-dit dans la pensée de Rousseau. Son approche est à la fois polyvalente et cohérente, et ses réflexions sur le silence sont associées à d'autres préoccupations esthétiques, politiques, et morales de son œuvre. Silence, Implicite et Non-Dit chez Rousseau/Silence, the Implicit, and the Unspoken in Rousseau capitalizes on a great number of publications dealing with Rousseau's analysis of languages and language, speech versus writing, of voice (including the voice of nature). But this volume is particularly dedicated to the study of the functioning and the effects of silence, the implicit and the unspoken in Rousseau's thought. His approach is both polyvalent and consistent, and his reflections on silence are associated with other aesthetic, political, and moral concerns in his work"
