A critical investigation of Bell Let’s Talk

In September 2010, Bell created the Bell Let’s Talk campaign to help lessen the stigma of mental health illnesses in Canada. The objective of this paper is to tease out the “ambivalences” (see Banet-Weiser, 2012) surrounding a massive corporation’s leadership in mental health awareness by analyzing both the importance and controversy surrounding Bell Let’s Talk. The first component of this paper is a literature review that seeks to answer the research question: “how may components of Bell Let’s Talk Day be understood as both progressive and regressive?” Although “social media is the next step in the war against silence” (Campbell, 2017), I argue that Bell has underlying motives. Through the campaign, Bell seeks to strengthen its affective brand value by encouraging consumers to produce an ethical surplus via immaterial labour (Banet-Weiser, 2012; Arvidsson, 2006). Second, I present the ambivalence of Bell Let’s Talk under Banet-Weiser’s theoretical framework of brand culture. My secondary research question is: “considering both the progressive and regressive aspects of the campaign, how does Bell Let’s Talk exemplify the ambivalences of twenty-first century brand culture?” The works of Sarah Banet-Weiser and Samantha King are important for situating cause-related marketing in a much larger social and political-economic context – for example, the neoliberal trend of relying upon private corporations to solve what should be collective, social problems. Third, I implement a small-scale reaction analysis of the comments of a Bell Let’s Talk Facebook post. Although 64.5% of audience reactions are categorized as positive, there are Facebook users who are skeptical. This mini-case study seeks to make evident the ambivalence of contemporary brand culture within society

An Ethical Argument for In Vitro Meat

This paper makes a moral argument for why in vitro meat should be adopted in favour of traditional forms of meat on the basis that doing so would reduce animal suffering. It argues that we ought to act compassionately towards animals who have the capacity to experience suffering (primarily in the form of physical pain) in a similar way to our own capacity to experience suffering. Given that the animals which are traditionally raised and slaughtered for meat (i.e. cows, pigs, and perhaps to a slightly lesser extent, chickens) have the capacity to experience pain in a significantly similar way to our capacity to experience pain, and the methods of factory farming which are implemented in the West to satisfy the human demand for consumable meat, this paper argues that, since the production of in vitro meat would produce little or no animal suffering, it would be ethical to choose to consume in vitro meat in favour of those traditional forms of meat. Further, it explores several objections to the adoption of in vitro meat from aesthetic, cultural, and religious grounds

Violence against women’s health through the law of the UN Security Council: A critical international feminist law analysis of Resolutions 2467 (2019) and 2493 (2019) within the WPS agenda

The purpose of this research is to analyse UN SC Resolution 2467 (2019)[6] and the subsequent Resolution 2493 (2019) from an international feminist law perspective in light of the women’s right to reproductive health, twenty years after the adoption of UN SC Resolution 1325 (2000). This article argues that international law might be the ultimate cause of violence against women’s health through resolutions adopted by a strictly inter-governmental ‘male’ body such as the UN SC that fails to appreciate the gender-based discrimination rooted in society – prior, during and after conflicts – and, by focusing on a notion of military rather than human security, misses the opportunity to address the violation of women’s right to sexual and reproductive health

Definizione e natura dell’εὐγένεια. Riflessioni tra V e IV secolo

La natura dell’εὐγένεια diventa un tema interessante per la riflessione filosofica solo a partire dal pensiero sofistico: qualche traccia di questo dibattito si può seguire grazie ai frammenti superstiti del dialogo aristotelico Sulla nobiltà. Sin dall’antichità cercare la giusta definizione dell’εὐγένεια contribuisce a metterne in luce le implicazioni dal punto di vista etico e politico e le risonanze sul piano storico. La lettura di alcuni autori presi in considerazione già da Aristotele (Teognide ed Euripide) permette di cogliere il progressivo sfaldarsi della compattezza dell’aristocrazia arcaica in cui convergevano tutti gli aspetti dell’eccellenza (ricchezza, educazione, nascita) e aiuta a comprendere le ragioni dell’emergere di una discussione esplicita. La lettura di Erodoto ribadisce che si tratta di un tema fortemente storico: da un lato, esso interviene a definire l’eccellenza di singoli e di gruppi sociali, dall’altro riguarda l’asse principale della storia, il tempo. Proprio il tempo infatti è l’unica dimensione in cui si può misurare la vera εὐγένεια, da intendersi – nella definizione di Aristotele – come ‘virtù del γένος’, capacità di una stirpe di produrre individui eccellenti a partire da un’eccellente ἀρχή: è solo in una virtù duratura nelle generazioni che l’εὐγένεια (‘buona discendenza’) trova la migliore garanzia.The nature of eugeneia becomes an interesting philosophical topic from the sophist thought onwards: we can follow some traces of this debate thanks to the surviving fragments of Aristotle’s dialogue ‘On Nobility’. Search of a correct definition of eugeneia highlights ethical, political, historical implications of this theme. Some authors (Euripides and Theognis) allows us to understand the graduale disintegration of the archaic aristocracy including wealth, education, birth. Herodotus confirms historical aspects, like the excellence of individuals and social groups, and the importance of chronos (the time). In the Aristotle’s definition eugeneia is the ‘arete (virtue) of the genos’, i.e. the ability to generate excellent individuals from excellent origin: time and generations are the best guarantee for the genuine eugeneia ‘good birth’

Science, precautionary principle and the law in two recent judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union on glyphosate and hunting management

This article is aimed at assessing the interplay that exists, from a legal point of view, between the precautionary principle and science in front of the Court of Justice of the European Union with regard to two judgments concerning the use of glyphosate (Blaise and others) and the protection of animals under the 1992 Habitats Directive (Tapiola), both decided in October 2019. I will argue that the precautionary principle is more a political rather than a scientific principle that informs the activity of public authorities and that the CJEU – mutatis mutandis, potentially all courts – could examine its application through the lens of the reasonableness of the measures adopted by competent authorities

Network Regulation of Cross-Border Economic Crime

The purpose of the first part of this article is to explain what we consider for “network regulation” in the fight against transnational criminality, and to provide some concrete examples of this concept. The notion has been developed in the field of financial regulation but we will demonstrate that it perfectly suits the struggle against different forms of criminality expanded worldwide. In a second part we will outline pros and cons of network regulation in order to answer to the question as of whether or not it can be considered as an alternative to international treaties in responding to current global threats

Human and Non-Human Beings: Towards the Affirmation of the Rights of Nature and of a Right to a Healthy Environment

This short comment connects the aspects of Corradetti’s book "Relativism and human rights" with international environmental law, and, more specifically, to the rights of nature and the gradual affirmation of a human right to a healthy environment, which takes into consideration the interests of the human beings and nature alike. The analysis starts from some reflections on the concept of ‘common concern of human kind,’ then acknowledges the absence in Corradetti’s book of reference to non-human beings and other elements of nature. It further asks a question (to the author and in general): whether it is possible to conceive a cosmopolitan law that not only recognises a place in the world for all human beings, but also appreciates the place of non-human beings and of the environment per se on one hand and as related to the existence of human beings on the other. It eventually explores the concept of ‘cosmopolitan authority’ in the context of the (though limited) jurisprudence on environment of regional human rights courts. It concludes by arguing that cosmopolitan law can be better appreciated when we endorse a broad understanding of the subjects of this system, which include the ‘us’, namely human, non-human beings, and the environment. This point of view embraces present and future generations, both entitled of human dignity

Reclaiming the Streets: Investigating Female Experience of Cinematic Urban Violence

The spatial ideologies and narrative tropes of gendered victimhood, which are designed to induce fear and anxiety, are routinely employed to govern and restrict female access to and experience of urban spaces—both in cinematic depictions and in the real world. This paper explores how such tropes are challenged and rewritten in three screen narratives based in urban landscapes: London in Happy-Go- Lucky (2008), Paris in Amélie (2001), and New York in Sex and the City (1998–2004). Contrary to the ideologies of fear that routinely dominate urban narratives, I will argue that the texts under discussion instead display the city as a space of potential female sexual, social, and spatial emancipation—most notably achieved through employing the comedic genre to express the potentially subversive power of comedy in overthrowing gender and social hierarchies. My primary focus will remain on the narrative techniques that these texts employ to rewrite what I refer to as the “fear script” and to dismantle motifs of gendered victimhood

A Quest for an Eco-centric Approach to International Law: the COVID-19 Pandemic as Game Changer

This Reflection starts from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as unprecedented occasio to reflect on the approach to international law, which—it is contended—is anthropocentric, and its inadequacy to respond to current challenges. In the first part, the Reflection argues that there is, more than ever, an undeferrable need for a change of approach to international law toward ecocentrism, which puts the environment at the center and conceives the environment as us, including humans, non-human beings, and natural objects. To encourage the incorporation of ecocentrism in the entire discipline, the Reflection will rely on some insight of ecofeminism, whose potential has not been fully investigated in international legal scholarship. In the second part, the Reflection illustrates what an eco-centric international law would mean, imagining three possible applications: first, what the author has called environmental global health, which is connected to the current pandemic and puts into question the proposals dealing with global health that completely miss the theorization of the environment as a whole; second, how actors of international law would change according to an eco-centric perspective; and, third, how the rules prohibiting the use of force might be reconceptualized. The analysis contained in these pages cannot itself exhaust all the possible nuances of the legal reasoning, but it is aimed at being a provocative starting point for a change in the mindset and approach of international legal scholarship
