Towards a relational ethics in pandemic times and beyond: Limited accountability, collective performativity and new subjectivity
No full textIt is often said that desperate times call for desperate measures. Yet, in the contemporary pandemic crisis, desperate organizational measures seem all but present. Instead, for most of us it is 'business as usual' while we are at the same time required to take care of our kids. The situation makes us highly uncomfortable and overwhelms many of us with feelings of stress - when trying to keep on going with the flow - or feelings of guilt - when just not being able to juggle all the different things. In this short piece, I draw on a personal vignette to first theorize how the pandemic crisis leverages the constitution of a masculine subjectivity and, so doing, further increases the ontological struggle in the constitution of a female subjectivity under neoliberal governance. In a second instance, I turn to an email sent by my PhD supervisor to illustrate how a relational ethics, recognizing the openness and generosity in the relation, and collective performativity can lower the ethical burden we face. I conclude by arguing that such an alternative script and the subjectivity fostered through it is urgently needed, not only today in pandemic times, but also in times beyond.Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek, Grant/Award Number: G.0630.14N; Flemish Fund for Scientific Research, Belgium, Grant/Award Number: G.0630.14 NDe Coster, M (corresponding author), Hasselt Univ, Martelarenlaan 42, B-3500 Hasselt, Belgium.

More Than Prefigurative Politics? Redefining institutional frames to reduce precarity under neoliberal capitalism
No full textThis paper responds to the emergent calls for recovering the role of contentious politics in prefigurative communities to more effectively transform capitalist institutions. Theoretically drawing on the work of Judith Butler, our paper points to the importance of addressing the institutional frames that demarcate who will be (mis)recognized in the public space and which are at the core of politics. Our analysis of the Coop case shows how prefigurative and contentious politics are not incompatible, but can rather strengthen each other in a virtuous circle. When articulated to redefine existing institutional frames, they can reduce precarity. Through this articulation an assembly is constituted where a redefined subject can emerge outside the precarizing frames of neoliberalism. At the same time, our analysis suggests that Coop's political practices do not completely redefine the individualized, calculative neoliberal subject. Project workers embraced the assembly only to the extent that it helped them reduce their self-responsibility and advance their professional and life projects. Overall, these insights advance the literature on grassroots organizations by showing the importance of contentious politics in attempting to redefine the institutional frames, as opposed to solely relying on prefigurative politics outside institutions. Yet they simultaneously confirm the difficulty of redefining the precarious neoliberal subject through collective emancipatory projects.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.

Marjan Hagenzieker (SWOV), hoogleraar Verkeersveiligheid TU Delft : 'De mens moet zich niet aanpassen aan de weg, maar de weg aan de mens'.
No full textGedrag is een essentiële factor in het verkeer, maar je kunt de oorzaak van een ongeval, anders dan de media vaak willen doen geloven, nooit volledig wijten aan menselijk handelen of falen. Gedrag is volgens Marjan Hagenzieker, die de nieuwe leerstoel Verkeersveiligheid aan de TU Delft bekleedt, slechts één component. Of iets veilig is hangt volgens haar af van het complete verkeerssysteem. "Gebrekkige verkeerssystemen zijn primair de oorzaak van menselijke fouten op de weg. Niet de mens." In haar oratie pleitte zij voor betere verkeersmodellen. "Als je daarin de component gedrag mee laat wegen, kun je veel beter voorspellen hoeveel ongevallen er jaarlijks plaatsvinden."

Sisyphus' dochters: vrouwelijke beeldhouwers en hun werk in de publieke ruimte (Parijs, Londen, Brussel, ca. 1770-1953)
No full textZowel de beeldhouwkunst als de publieke ruimte zijn eeuwenlang als mannelijke domeinen beschouwd. Toch waren er al vroeg, en vooral sinds de late achttiende eeuw, vrouwelijke beeldhouwers aan de slag in de (semi)publieke ruimte, en dit bovendien veel vaker dan men tot nu toe aannam. In Sisyphus’ dochters gaat Marjan Sterckx in op deze unieke beeldhouwsters en hun werk in de stedelijke publieke en semipublieke ruimte in de periode ca. 1770-1953. Parijs, Londen en Brussel fungeren als casus. Na een analyse van de fysieke aanwezigheid en vertegenwoordiging van de beeldhouwwerken van vrouwen in de drie onderzochte steden, beschrijft de auteur de toenmalige moeilijkheden en mogelijkheden voor vrouwen met diverse profielen om beeldhouwer te worden, een degelijke opleiding te genieten en opdrachten te bekomen in die steden. Vervolgens gaat ze in op de vormelijke en inhoudelijke kenmerken van het getraceerde beeldhouwwerk, en hun zichtbaarheid in de publieke en semipublieke ruimte. Een laatste deel behandelt de ontvangst, vroeger en nu, van de bestudeerde beeldhouwsters en hun (semi)publieke werken. Een tweede volume, de catalogus, inventariseert 365 niet eerder bijeengebrachte sculpturen van de hand van vrouwen in publieke en semipublieke buiten- en binnenruimtes in Parijs, Londen en Brussel in de periode ca. 1770-1953.Both sculpture and the public space were considered for centuries as male domains. Yet were there early on, and especially since the late eighteenth century, women sculptors who worked for the (semi) public space, and this more than has hitherto been assumed. In Sisyphus' daughters, Marjan Sterckx takes up these unique sculptors and their work in the urban public and semi-public space in the period ca. 1770-1953. Paris, London and Brussels act as a case study. After an analysis of the presence and representation of the sculptures by women in the three cities studied, the author describes the difficulties and opportunities for women with various profiles to become a sculptor then, to enjoy a proper training and to obtain commissions in those cities. Then she goes on to the formal and iconographic characteristics of the traced sculptures, and their visibility in the public and semi-public space. A final section deals with the reception, past and present, of the studied sculptors and their (semi) public works. A second volume, the catalogue, inventories 365 not previously gathered sculptures by women in public and semi-public outdoor and indoor spaces in Paris, London and Brussels in the period ca. 1770-1953
How Can Disease Control Program Contribute to Health System Strengthening in Sub-Saharan Africa : A Concept Note for Engaging in the Global Debates on Health Systems Strengthening
No full textRecently, there has been broad consensus in the global health community on the need for health systems strengthening (HSS) to make further progress toward the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is still divergence
on how HSS should be framed, what HSS practically entails, and how it should be done.
We set out to clarify HSS for managers of disease control programs (DCPs).
In September 2000, the United Nations
created a new movement in the fight against poverty: 189
countries in the General Assembly expressed their commitment
to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the Millennium
Declaration (World Health Organization 2004). The
recognition of health as one of the key determinants of
human development is translated in three health-related
MDGs. MDG 4 and 5 focus respectively on children and women
as priority target groups, and MDG 6 focuses on priority
diseases (HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other major diseases),
representing the bulk of the disease burden in low-income
countries. In section two, the author first focuses on how
national health systems can be understood, with their
strengthening in mind, with a special focus on service
delivery and on its pluralistic nature. In section three,
the author uses the Anna Karenina principle to explain an
approach to health systems assessment at the national level.
Finally, in section four, the author develops an approach on
how Disease Control Program (DCP) can contribute to Health
systems Strengthening (HSS) at country level
Historical memory about Jews of Prekomurje
No full text"Novo knjižno delo dr. Marjana Toša je sistematični prikaz usode slovenskih Judov. Pripoved se osredotoča tako na uničenje kot tudi na povojni spomin na judovsko skupnost Prekmurja. Avtor izrisuje podobe kontroverznega, fragmentiranega in v veliki meri potlačenega spomina na naraščajoči antisemitizem med obema vojnama, deportacijo leta 1944, vrnitev peščice preživelih, razlastitve in emigracije. Bralec je soočen z dramo različnih regionalnih in nacionalnih akterjev, njihovih interesov, vednosti, stališč, aspiracij, v katere pa avtor ne posega s kakim odvečnim moraliziranjem ali celo apologijo. Prej nasprotno, na podlagi poglobljenega raziskovalnega dela nam pokaže, kako je mogoče misliti tako kompleksno temo, kot je sistematični genocid" (iz recencije dr Irene Šumi)."Nova knjiga dr Marjana Toša je sistematski prikaz sudbine slovenačkih Jevreja. Priča se fokusira i na uništenje i na posleratno sećanje na jevrejsku zajednicu u Prekomurju. Autor slika kontroverzno, fragmentirano i u velikoj meri potisnuto sećanje na rastući antisemitizam između dva rata, deportaciju 1944. godine, povratak šačice preživelih, eksproprijaciju i emigraciju. Čitalac je suočen sa dramom raznih regionalnih i nacionalnih aktera, njihovih interesovanja, znanja, pogleda, težnji, u koju se autor ne meša nikakvim preteranim moralizovanjem, pa čak ni izvinjavanjem. Naprotiv, na osnovu dubinskog istraživačkog rada, pokazuje nam kako se može razmišljati o tako složenoj temi kao što je sistematski genocid" (iz recencije dr Irene Šumi)."New book by dr. Marjan Toš is a systematic representation of the fate of Slovenian Jews. The story focuses on both the destruction and the post-war memory of the Jewish community of Prekomurje. The author paints images of the controversial, fragmented, and largely repressed memory of growing anti-Semitism between the two wars, deportation in 1944, the return of a handful of survivors, expropriation, and emigration. The reader is confronted with a drama of various regional and national actors, their interests, knowledge, views, aspirations, in which the author does not interfere with any excessive moralizing or even apology. On the contrary, based on in-depth research work, it shows us how such a complex topic as systematic genocide can be thought of" (part of the review of dr. Irena Šumi).Knjiga je objavljena uz podršku Javne agencije za knjige Republike Slovenije (the book was published with the support of the Public Book Agency of the Republic of Slovenia)

Literarni atlas Ljubljane. Zgode in nezgode 94 slovenskih književnikov v Ljubljani
No full textThis is the first atlas of the kind in Slovenia ('The Literary Atlas of Ljubljana'). A collection of biographical articles starts with descriptions of the times which the selected Slovenian literary men and women spent in Ljubljana. There is a wide range of conflicting literary and ideological orientations as well as turbulent social and political developments in Slovenian capital. Numerical indications of places (author of the texts is Marjan Dolgan) serve the readers to find locations on the attached maps of Ljubljana (authors Jerneja Fridl and Manca Volk) where the writers and poets lived, attended school or received their education, worked, died and are buried. There are pubs where they amused themselves, and prisons where they were locked up by the authorities. Also places of love romances and misfortunes, public scandals, social spectacles, even mysterious disappearances. Ljubljana as the venue of farces, dramas, tragedies, thrillers and horror stories which Slovenian literary creators experienced. An extensive publication is informative, instructive, funny and thrilling. It contains a great number of data that have not yet been published. Readers will get an insight into previously unknown strata of Slovenian literature.To je prvi atlas takšne vrste v Sloveniji. V njem so najprej v člankih opisana obdobja, ki so jih izbrani slovenski književniki od protestantizma do sodobnosti preživeli v Ljubljani. Pokaže se paleta nasprotujočih si literarnih in nazorskih usmeritev ter burno družbeno dogajanje v slovenski prestolnici. Številčne oznake krajev, ki so omenjeni v člankih (avtor besedila je Marjan Dolgan), pa bralcu omogočajo, da na priloženih zemljevidih Ljubljane (avtorici Jerneja Fridl in Manca Volk) najde kraje, kjer so književniki prebivali, se šolali, delali, umirali in kjer so jih pokopali. Ne manjkajo niti lokali, v katerih so se zabavali, niti zapori, v katere so jih tlačili oblastniki. Navedeni so tudi mnogi kraji ljubezenskih romanc in polomov, javnih škandalov, družabnih spektaklov; omenjena so skrivnostna izginotja. Ljubljana kot prizorišče fars, dram, tragedij, kriminalk in grozljivk, ki so jih doživljali slovenski književniki. Obsežna knjiga je informativna, poučna, zabavna in srhljiva.
