Abstract

The numerous stakeholders involved in the development of universal health coverage (UHC) policies are likely to have diverging interests about which dimensions to prioritize, hence the importance of ensuring an effective and transparent policy dialogue. This paper aims to investigate whether or not UHC policy dialogue processes are functioning well in Benin and Senegal. Based on a literature review, we have identified a number of characteristics guaranteeing the quality of policy dialogue processes, which we have integrated into an analytical grid. The quality criteria identified were classified along four dimensions: stakeholder participation, dialogue/negotiation process, quality of situation analysis and decision criteria, and results from the negotiation process. Based on data collected through documentary review, interviews, an electronic survey and the authors’ own experience, we applied that analytical grid to the cases of Benin and Senegal. In both countries, the policy dialogue processes are largely imperfect in terms of many of the quality criteria identified. Decisions were made under strong political leadership, ensuring government coordination and ownership, and strong emphasis has been put on expanding financial risk protection. Yet, both countries perform poorly in a number of dimensions, especially with regards to conflicts of interest, transparency and accountability. None of them has really institutionalized a UHC policy dialogue process, and the UHC policymaking processes have actually bypassed existing health sector coordination mechanisms. The two countries perform well regarding the quality of situation analysis. A small (in the case of Benin) or broader (in the case of Senegal) governmental coalition managed to impose its views, given insufficient stakeholder participation. Policy networks were particularly influential in Senegal. Overall, there are important gaps that reduce the quality of UHC policy dialogue processes, hence explaining the weaknesses in their results in terms of transparency and accountability. Our analytical framework enables usto identify rooms for improvement with regard to country-led negotiation processes relating to UHC.

Abstract

This book investigates the growing politicization of Mumsnet and its use by politicians to influence middle-class women in the UK. The site's discussion topics go far beyond traditional 'mothering' subjects and encompass politics, feminism and current affairs. Understood as a safe space for gender-critical voices, the site has spawned real-life activism and continues to be both praised and attacked for its support of free speech on controversial subjects. Sarah Pedersen investigates how Mumsnet has become a central part of a resurgent women's rights movement in the UK. She argues that its openness to discussion around this subject has allowed the site to function as a subaltern counter-public - a space where gender-critical feminists have been able to share information and make plans for action and agitation.

Abstract

"Chris is a math teacher and debate coach, and this book is about how he uses the tools of debate to get his students arguing in math class. Students are highly engaged and learn mathematics more deeply when using his techniques. The book is short and clear and will help readers learn how to incorporate debate in an incremental, totally not overwhelming way because Chris has broken the work down into a lovely step-by-step sequence. It's a super practical and readable manual, written by a working teacher for working teachers"--

Abstract

"Hands Down, Speak Out is an innovative book that looks at how we can teach students how to talk and listen to one another, without all discourse running through the teacher. Kassia is a math coach and Christy is a literacy coach. Together, they show how to teach dialogue "micro-lessons" alongside content, both within and across math and literacy, so students become increasingly skilled and independent in conversations. Their hope is that students will have better, deeper discourse within the content areas, and also beyond the classroom"--

Abstract

La tâche urgente de notre époque est de remonter aux fondements du laïcisme. Le débat qui eut lieu en janvier 2004 entre Habermas et Ratzinger, publié dans la revue Esprit, met en évidence le caractère central du problème d’un auto-fondement de l’État démocratique dans le cadre d’une pensée laïque. C’est dans un tel contexte que les réflexions de Guido Calogero s’avèrent déterminantes. Élève de Croce et de Gentile, il se nourrit du néo-hégélianisme italien et épouse son exigence d’une pensée parfaitement immanentiste. Il va plus loin encore et déplace le terrain de la réflexion philosophique : la gnoséologie ne peut que conduire la pensée à retomber dans ces formes métaphysiques qu’il s’agit de dépasser. C’est la volonté qui constitue le véritable principe premier, auto-fondateur. Volonté qui échappe à l’irrationalisme comme à l’intellectualisme si l’on retrouve à sa racine le choix fondamental entre l’égoïsme et l’altruisme, choix omniprésent qui se formule à travers l’impératif du dialogue, le devoir de comprendre l’autre : « Ou bien je veux comprendre les autres, ou bien je veux rester seul avec moi-même ». Ce principe du dialogue est le seul principe indiscutable. Une forme de rationalité pratique post-métaphysique redevient pensable. Et c’est dans ce principe du dialogue que résident les fondements de la démocratie. Calogero tient ce pari de donner un fondement autonome à la démocratie sans pour autant arguer de son caractère purement procédural, puisqu’il nous renvoie à l’intériorité propre à tout sujet. Les droits inaliénables peuvent trouver un fondement non-métaphysique et surtout cette règle du dialogue permet de penser une cohabitation des idées et des cultures qui ne soit pas seulement neutralité bienveillante de la part des institutions, mais participation active des citoyens.

Abstract

During seven years, 16 performers spread 'Lecture For Every One' throughout Europe. They intervened in more than 300 different gatherings, from a corporate sales meeting to a brass-band rehearsal and a municipal council. As uninvited guests, they addressed every one with exactly the same text. Until now, the project has remained largely invisible to the wider public. This book now sheds light on the information and expertise Lecture For Every One has generated?feedback, stories and memories from a range of perspectives. It reflects on how places where people gather can become political instances, on the (im)possibility of addressing every one, and on the value of fiction in our daily lives. Sarah Vanhee is an artist, performer and writer. Her interdisciplinary work moves between the civilian space and the institutional arts sector, and is best known for its radical gestures and its engagement with non-dominant voices and narratives. Since 2007 she has created several onstage performances, (semi-)public interventions and site-specific works that have been widely presented internationally.

Abstract

PONGE, DERRIDA : voilà les interlocuteurs d’une rencontre exceptionnelle. Jacques Derrida n’a eu de cesse de montrer que la philosophie, comme la littérature, est au travail dans la langue. La littérature vient, depuis toujours, inquiéter la philosophie en l’invitant à quitter sa position de surplomb. Peut-être est-ce l’une des raisons de la fascination de cette dernière pour l’œuvre de Ponge, de Bernard Groethuysen à Henri Maldiney, en passant par Jean-Paul Sartre et Jacques Derrida. Ce dernier lui a consacré un livre, Signéponge, dont cet entretien est en quelque sorte le post-scriptum. Jacques Derrida se retourne sur son commentaire, l’explicite et le prolonge. Des questions aussi diverses que celles de la signature, de l’idiome, de la chose, de la métaphore, de la mise en abyme ou encore de l’éthique y sont posées. En matière d’écriture, Ponge et Derrida nous l’ont appris, il n’y a pas de point final.

Abstract

In dieser Untersuchung geht es um die unterrichtsbezogenen epistemologischen Überzeugungen von Lehrkräften, die ein geisteswissenschaftliches Fach unterrichten. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Konstruktion geisteswissenschaftlicher Wissensbestände von Lehrerinnen und Lehrern und die damit verbundenen Formen der Kulturvermittlung: Wie begegnen Lehrkräfte Kulturgütern (z.B. Gedichten, Bildern) im geisteswissenschaftlichen Unterricht? Wie dechiffrieren Lehrkräfte den Bedeutungsgehalt von Kulturgütern? Welchen Kulturkanon bzw. welche kulturellen Inhalte vermitteln Lehrkräfte Schülerinnen und Schülern? Die qualitativ-rekonstruktive Studie ist im Schnittfeld der empirischen Bildungsforschung, der geisteswissenschaftlichen Fachdidaktik sowie der Allgemeinen Pädagogik angesiedelt. Sie leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Grundlagenforschung geisteswissenschaftlicher Fächer und zur theoretischen Weiterentwicklung kulturbezogener Bildungsarbeit.
