Care Ethics in yet a Different Voice: Francophone Contributions

This edited volume offers translations of important texts published by

francophone care ethics scholars since the early 2000s. The anthology

hopes to give readers a glimpse of the diversity of French-language care

scholarship and of its unwavering commitment to showing that care is

fundamentally political. The first part of the volume offers critical

reflections on the controversies and debates that accompanied the

introduction of care ethics in French-speaking academic life and in

public debates. It also includes essays that reflect on the concepts of

vulnerability and the ordinary . In the second part of the anthology,

readers will find essays that place care ethics in conversation with

other bodies of literature (disability studies, animal ethics,

nanoethics, neorepublicanism, liberal theory, continental philosophy,

contemporary feminist thought).

This collection includes contributions from Sophie Bourgault, Fabienne

Brugere, Solange Chavel, Aurelie Damamme, Estelle Ferrarese, Marie

Garrau, Claude Gautier, Naima Hamrouni, Monique Lanoix, Sandra Laugier,

Pascale Molinier, Vanessa Nurock, Patricia Paperman. The volume also

includes a foreword by Fiona Robinson.
