we look at care as a reciprocal act, the one giving care may or may not give care, but the one receiving care may not.\u003cbr\u003e This asymmetrical relationship can easily turn into a power

care work so cheap? Why aren't they trying to raise its price?\u003cbr\u003e --- p.43\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the past, childcare and elderly care were considered private matters, so no one recognized them as social issues.\u003cbr\u003e However, gender studies have shown that the private sphere has simply become invisible because it is excluded from the public sphere, and furthermore, that the private sphere is a sphere that has been created publicly. \u003cbr\u003eGender studies, which originated from feminism with the slogan “the personal is political,” politicized the private sphere.\u003cbr\u003e Afterwards, care, which had been considered a private act, became a visible social problem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Family care is mostly forced labor.\u003cbr\u003e For example, when we see daughters-in-law caring for the elderly, we can realize that caregiving is often forced labor in reality.\u003cbr\u003e Forced labor isn't limited to concentration camps.\u003cbr\u003e For those who cannot leave their homes, their families can become another concentration camp.\u003cbr\u003e As with concentration camps, it is historically proven that abuse and forced labor exist within families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I got this idea from Shane Ferran. \u003cbr\u003eQuoting Foucault, who did not hide the fact that he was gay, as saying, “I try to be gay,” Ferran said that the “coming out” of being gay\/lesbian is always “becoming out.”\u003cbr\u003e 'Being gay\/lesbian' is not something that can be objectively defined, but rather a strategy and process of sexual subjectification of the subject who has accepted 'being gay\/lesbian'.\u003cbr\u003e Every time one comes out, one chooses a sexual subjectivity that makes one gay\/lesbian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Why care for the elderly? This is a truly frightening question.\u003cbr\u003e Because there is no real basis to justify care for the elderly.\u003cbr\u003e Historically, there is a reality where elderly people in need of care have not been cared for.\u003cbr\u003e Since care for the elderly is a newly emerging demand, both theoretically and practically, it cannot be taken for granted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.141\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHere, let us look back at what the problem of housework was.\u003cbr\u003e The problem with housework was that ① the cost of reproduction, which is essential labor for the survival of society, was allocated outside the market, that is, to the family, ② unfairly as labor that did not pay wages (did not have a price), and ③ was allocated only to women under gender segregation.\u003cbr\u003e Only through this problem setting was it possible to finally find the answer to the question, “Why is it unfair that only women do housework?”\u003cbr\u003e And in reality, the market has been secretly dependent on external sources for reproduction costs, thus clearly revealing that the 'self-sufficiency of the market' is nothing more than a fiction.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.158~159\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut when and how did family care become taken for granted? And is family care truly desirable? Aren't the various options outside the family, resulting from the \"socialization of care,\" merely supplementary alternatives to the supposedly desirable family care? Are they merely inadequate, second-rate alternatives?

However, excluding gender from discussions about care, as if women are not involved in care, should also be criticized as a position that does not understand gender.” (p. 24)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Another strength of this book is the field research conducted over the past 10 years.\u003cbr\u003e The author toured various on-site facilities and met with many stakeholders, exploring the questions, \"What constitutes good senior care?\" and \"How can we solve and implement senior care issues?\"\u003cbr\u003e Particularly noteworthy are \"unit care\" facilities, where everyone can live in a private room, and \"coexistence care\" facilities, where people with disabilities, infants, and the elderly live together.\u003cbr\u003e While Korean nursing homes are typically four-person rooms and primarily provide 'group care,' these facilities are user-centered and provide 'individual care.' \u003cbr\u003e“Therefore, the criteria for ‘good care’ are as follows:\u003cbr\u003e It is individual care rather than group care, home care rather than facility care, and private room care rather than multi-person room care within a facility.\u003cbr\u003e “In general, good care is care that responds to the individuality of the person involved and values ​​the person’s needs.” (p. 30)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhy is care work cheap?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But Japan's innovative facilities also have their drawbacks.\u003cbr\u003e This is because these facilities are supported by the low wages of care workers.\u003cbr\u003e \"Why is care work so cheap? Why aren't we trying to raise its price?\" The author repeatedly poses this question, ultimately asserting that if we fail to address it, the future of care will be bleak.\u003cbr\u003e And this question is also answered from a feminist perspective.\u003cbr\u003e “If we explain this in terms of gender, the answer is clear.\u003cbr\u003e Why?

The author argues that the family (\"family failure\"), the state or local government (\"state failure\"), and the market (\"market failure\") all have limitations, and he urges the cooperative sector, which includes civil society, to take center stage.\u003cbr\u003e In reality, Japan's \"good care\" is mainly practiced by non-profit organizations and civic businesses with a new public nature, such as worker collectives and cooperatives, where everyone is both a manager and a worker.\u003cbr\u003e However, this cooperation also has its limitations. \u003cbr\u003eUltimately, we conclude that good care has its limitations in the government (public), market (people), civil society (cooperative), and family (private) sectors, and therefore a welfare pluralistic society in which all sectors complement each other must be realized.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, the theory the author is based on is the theory of a welfare pluralistic society that replaces the existing welfare state theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhat is care?\u003cbr\u003e Parties' sovereignty and human rights approach\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So what does Ueno Chizuko mean by care? Care is 1) a reciprocal act and relationship between a giver and a receiver, 2) the needs of the care recipient are paramount, and 3) labor that can be transferred to a third party.\u003cbr\u003e And the relationship between the caregiver and the care recipient is asymmetrical.\u003cbr\u003e If we look at care as a reciprocal act, the one giving care may or may not give care, but the one receiving care may not.\u003cbr\u003e This asymmetrical relationship can easily degenerate into a power relationship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn this book, the author presents the following two positions on the normative theory of care, symbolized by the 'ethics of care.'\u003cbr\u003e First, care is not always a 'good thing'; it can also be 'a burden, a heavy load, a nuisance to be avoided'.\u003cbr\u003e Second, we will approach it from a human rights perspective through the following four rights:\u003cbr\u003e The four rights are:\u003cbr\u003e 1) Right to care.\u003cbr\u003e 2) Right to care.\u003cbr\u003e 3) The right not to be forced to provide care.\u003cbr\u003e 4) The right not to be forced to receive (inappropriate) care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A central and somewhat normative position in this book is 'sovereignty of the parties.'\u003cbr\u003e The party the author is talking about is not simply a socially disadvantaged person, but a socially disadvantaged person who has become a subject.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, the socially disadvantaged must take steps to reveal their identity and assert their rights before they can become parties. \u003cbr\u003e“Being a ‘care recipient’ who needs care and having the identity of a ‘care recipient’ and becoming a party to the matter are two different matters.\u003cbr\u003e “To become a caregiver, there must be an opportunity to reveal and identify one’s needs.” (p. 130) In other words, the sovereignty of the care recipients is for them to assert their needs and rights without relying on the paternalistic judgment of experts or third parties.\u003cbr\u003e In this respect, it is said that Japan's elderly people requiring nursing care have not yet become the parties concerned.\u003cbr\u003e The author argues that we must strengthen welfare for the elderly through a movement of individuals who assert their needs and rights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIs family care a given?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Who should take care of them?

Even cooperative sectors (civil society), such as NPOs (non-profit organizations), have limitations. It's impossible for NPOs alone to fully address the failures of the family, the market, and the state.\u003cbr\u003e The theory that replaces the existing welfare state theory is the 'welfare pluralism theory', which originated from the idea that every sector has its limitations and therefore each sector needs to complement each other to fulfill its role.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eUnit care and symbiotic care: Japan's leading examples\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The various activities undertaken by Japan's cooperatives and local governments to achieve better care for the elderly are noteworthy.\u003cbr\u003e It is particularly interesting that unit care based on single rooms was pioneered by the local government in Care Town Takanosu and later institutionally accepted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. \u003cbr\u003eThe 'small-scale multi-functional home care' model, which provides various types of services needed by users in one institution rather than a specific type of service institution, and the 'coexistence model', in which children, the elderly, and the disabled use day services together, are care models created by civic businesses such as consumer cooperatives before the introduction of Japan's long-term care insurance, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare later adopted this model into the system.\u003cbr\u003e The author suggests that the conditions for advanced care found in civic businesses are “① when managers with high ideals and leadership ② hire care workers with high moral standards and capabilities ③ under low working conditions.”\u003cbr\u003e The spontaneity of civil society serves as the foundation, and the participation of highly educated, full-time housewives in cooperative activities is a particularly important resource. \u003cbr\u003eThe author criticizes Japan's \"housewife preference policy\" for confining women to the home as caregivers for an aging society. It is a striking irony that the cooperative's advanced care practices are made possible by the low-wage labor of housewives, a policy that maintains this gender-discriminatory structure. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 27, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover book binding method guide\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 944 pages | 1,368g | 148*218*49mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791168731035\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1168731038 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891445792810,"sku":"164630","price":62.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/a4e6d9187b9368d73bf4ef402e0548a2.jpg?v=1765325255","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/164630","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
