The Lived Experiences of Mothers whose Children were Sexually Abused by Their Intimate Male Partners.Brandon Morgan,AudreyPatriciaChauke &Gertie Pretorius -2011 -Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology 11 (1):1-14.detailsChild sexual abuse is a global phenomenon that affects many families and appears to be increasing dramatically in South Africa. The literature on child sexual abuse focuses mainly on the victims and perpetrators while largely ignoring the experiences of non-offending mothers. The objective of this study was to explore the lived experiences of mothers whose children were sexually abused by their intimate male partners. Existential phenomenology was employed in the study, and Braun and Clarke’s six-phase thematic analysis was used to (...) analyse the data. The results indicate that the participants experienced emotions similar to those following loss including disbelief, anger, guilt, depression, trust and blame. (shrink)

Signaling Positive Corporate Social Performance.Ray Jones &Audrey J. Murrell -2001 -Business and Society 40 (1):59-78.detailsA firm’s social performance can shape the impressions of key stakeholders, such as employees, customers, suppliers, and investors, that influence subsequent decision making and relationships to the firm. To test this notion, we examine how a firm’s public recognition for exemplary social performance can serve as a positive signal of the firm’s business performance to shareholders. We conduct an event study of firms named to Working Mothermagazine’s list of “Most Family- Friendly Companies” for the first time between 1989 and 1994. (...) We find statistically significant, positive, abnormal returns for such firms, in particular for firms whose shares are traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange. (shrink)
Il ne faut jamais tuer l’enfant.Audrey Tuaillon-Demésy -2021 -Temporalités 33.detailsChez Narcisse est un débit de boissons situé à l’entrée des Vosges méridionales. Sa particularité tient au fait qu’il comprend, depuis le milieu des années 1980, au fond du jardin, une salle de concert dite « punk ». Associant ainsi un bistrot qui s’ancre dans le temps quotidien du village et des événementiels qui sont des temps festifs, Chez Narcisse apparaît comme un espace « double » qui met l’accent sur la recherche d’indépendance et la culture en milieu rural. Une (...) monographie ethnographique réalisée sur ce lieu permet de mettre en lumière les conceptions du temps en jeu dans la culture punk « narcissienne ». Formalisé sous forme de « bulles », oscillant entre présent festif du concert, passé idéalisé et futur incertain, le temps punk ne repose pas sur une conception linéaire des événements. La question qui se pose est donc de savoir de quelle manière ces bulles temporelles sont exprimées et, au-delà, comment elles invitent à penser l’utopie et, parfois, la mise en place d’alternatives.

Eros & Logos: da poesia à filosofia, e vice-versa.Patrícia Lavelle -2024 -Aufklärung 11 (Especial):101-112.detailsIn an essayistic and experimental approach, which includes the reconstruction of conceptual contexts and poetic writing, this article interrogates the passages and hybridizations between poetry and philosophy from the point of view of their relation to Eros. Thus, in dialogues with Sappho, Anne Carson, Walter Benjamin and Hans Blumenberg, I present the notion of “eroticization of language” as a point of convergence between poetic production and theoretical impulse.

Anarchist Satire in Pre-World War I Paris: The Case of František Kupka.Patricia Leighten -2017 -Substance 46 (2):50-70.detailsThe rich body of understudied imagery constituting the culture of satire in pre-World War I Paris represents the work of scores of contributing artists, ranging from mockery of manners to biting critique of government policy. While František Kupka is recognized as a major Parisian contributor to the development of modernism and abstraction, his career as a satirist has been sidelined. In 1900, Kupka wrote to his friend the Czech poet Josef S. Machar that he would devote himself in future mainly (...) to lithography and graphics as these media are more "democratic". Kupka published scores of cartoons in France in the prewar period and was recognized at the time as a leading satirist. Here I explore his work... (shrink)
Multiple Gestations: Some Public Policy Issues.Patricia K. Jennings &Joan C. Callahan -2001 -Health Care Analysis 9 (2):167-185.detailsMultiple gestations, or multifetal pregnancies,raise a number of significant policy questionsconcerning the well being of women and the wellbeing of the children fetuses might become.Important questions for feminists pertain notonly to multifetal pregnancy itself, but alsoto the medical interventions associated withthese pregnancies. In this paper, we addressthe questions of how many embryos should betransferred in assisted reproduction, how manyfetuses should remain in a multiple gestation,who should make these decisions, and the needto protect women from overexposure to exogenoushormones. Although we focus (...) on assistedreproduction in the United States, we believethat our suggestions are applicable to othercountries where the technology is comparable. (shrink)

Beyond Pathologizing Harm: Understanding PTSD in the Context of War Experience.Patricia Benner,Jodi Halpern,Deborah R. Gordon,Catherine Long Popell &Patricia W. Kelley -2018 -Journal of Medical Humanities 39 (1):45-72.detailsAn alternative to objectifying approaches to understanding Post-traumatic Stress Disorder grounded in hermeneutic phenomenology is presented. Nurses who provided care for soldiers injured in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and sixty-seven wounded male servicemen in the rehabilitation phase of their recovery were interviewed. PTSD is the one major psychiatric diagnosis where social causation is established, yet PTSD is predominantly viewed in terms of the usual neuro-physiological causal models with traumatic social events viewed as pathogens with dose related effects. Biologic models (...) of causation are applied reductively to both predisposing personal vulnerabilities and strengths that prevent PTSD, such as resiliency. However, framing PTSD as an objective disease state separates it from narrative historical details of the trauma. Personal stories and cultural meanings of the traumatic events are seen as epiphenomenal, unrelated to the understanding of, and ultimately, the therapeutic treatment of PTSD. Most wounded service members described classic symptoms of PTSD: flashbacks, insomnia, anxiety etc. All experienced disturbance in their sense of time and place. Rather than see the occurrence of these symptoms as decontextualized mechanistic reverberations of war, we consider how these symptoms meaningfully reflect actual war experiences and sense of displacement experienced by service members.

Women in Science-Based Employment: What Makes the Difference?Patricia Ellis -2003 -Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society 23 (1):10-16.detailsDespite 20 years of official concern, women scientists in the United Kingdom are still unrepresented in the higher echelons of U.K. science, engineering, and technology and limited in their opportunities for advancement. The author attributes this to the organization and structure of scientific work, together with male “ownership” of science (even where women are a sizeable minority), rather than to the choices women make. Conflict with childbearing and child raising is significant in science more than in law and medicine because (...) external funding sources and large, rigid laboratory organizations disparage and hence disadvantage part-time scientists. Perception is another factor. Women scientists are not seen as equally committed to their work or as eager for advancement. Industrial employment, which should be freer of some of the problems in academic or research science, nevertheless shows restrictions on women’s advancement, too. (shrink)

Guide to the Ethics of Ex Parte Communications.Patricia Sue Wall -2008 -Journal of Business Ethics 81 (3):555-559.detailsEx parte communications can become an administrative quagmire for anyone trying to deal with tribunals that regulate business matters. These communications involve contact between a decision maker and one party outside the presence of another, interested party. At a time when codes of ethics are enacted to make corporate financial officers and boards of directors more accountable to their stockholders, and thus, to restore the confidence of the investing public, it appears most important that administrative judges and hearing officers adhere (...) strictly to their own Codes of Conduct. This article defines and explains ex parte contacts and consequent problems that might arise during administrative appeals. It is not the author’s intent to present the law of any specific jurisdiction, but to present a general overview of typical state law in the United States, a market of interest to many entrepreneurs and exporters worldwide.

Phytographia.Patrícia Vieira -2015 -Environmental Philosophy 12 (2):205-220.detailsThis article develops the notion of plant writing or phytographia, the roots of which go back to the early modern concept of signatura rerum, as well as, more recently, to Walter Benjamin’s idea of a “language of things” and to Jacques Derrida’s arche-writing. Phytographia designates the encounter between the plants’ inscription in the world and the traces of that imprint left in literary works, mediated by the artistic perspective of the author. The final section of the essay turns to the (...) so-called “jungle novel,” set in the Amazonian rainforest, as an instantiation of phytographia. (shrink)
