Naar een handelingsgericht ethiekbeleid voor zorgorganisaties : een normatieve verkenning
From a philosophical perspective this study explores a normative concept of ethics management for Health Care Organizations. Much attention has been paid to care as a form of action. Arendt__s typology of action that stresses qualitative differences between human activities is central in the concept. This action character of professional care needs confirmation in special organizational arrangements. So the concept brings ethics, care and organization together in a specific way. The broadening of an ethics concept for care in the direction of management and organization is the most original part of this study.UBL - phd migration 201
New aesthetic, new anxieties
The New Aesthetic was a design concept and netculture phenomenon
launched into the world by London designer James Bridle in 2011. It
continues to attract the attention of media art, and throw up
associations to a variety of situated practices, including speculative
design, net criticism, hacking, free and open source software
development, locative media, sustainable hardware and so on. In this book we consider the New Aesthetic: as an opportunity to rethink
the relations between these contexts in the emergent episteme of
computationality. There is a desperate need to confront the political
pressures of neoliberalism manifested in these infrastructures.
Indeed, these are risky, dangerous and problematic times; a period
when critique should thrive. But here we need to forge new alliances,
invent and discover problems of the common that nevertheless do not
eliminate the fundamental differences in this ecology of practices. In
this book, perhaps provocatively, we believe a great deal could be
learned from the development of the New Aesthetic not only as a mood,
but as a topic and fix for collective feeling, that temporarily
mobilizes networks. Is it possible to sustain and capture these
atmospheres of debate and discussion beyond knee-jerk reactions and
opportunistic self-promotion? These are crucial questions that the New
Aesthetic invites us to consider, if only to keep a critical network
culture in place
