Abstract

"This book explores how lean operates and is adopted in real, corporeal, collective and affective environments of health and social care services. During Lean implementation processes, knowledges, affects, skills and materialities come together in manifold, complex ways. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, interviews and observation, and with empirical and theoretical rigour, the book provides an answer to the question of what happens to care work when processes become 'Leaned'. As in many other fields, the predominantly female health and social care sectors suffer from devaluation in terms of wages and working conditions. The book explores how Lean operates, is adopted and is ultimately lived in this gendered context of work and labour. Moreover, the book situates Lean and related management doctrines in the current mutation of capitalism - that is, biocapitalism - in which bios, life itself, becomes the core of value production. The book adds to the corpus of work, organization and management studies on Lean that have rarely focused on gender, affect or sociomateriality. It provides scholars in Social Science, Management and Gender Studies with a fresh outlook and a cross-disciplinary take on Lean management"-- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Née en 1050, Trotula de Salerne fit "trente-six métiers" d'homme. Féministe sans entraves, elle fut la première femme médecin du Moyen Âge. Surveillée par l'Eglise mais jamais inquiétée, elle developpa une gynécologie quasi inexistante, pratique accouchements sans douleurs, avortements et césariennes avant d'enseigner la médecine. Personne ne pensait qu'une femme pût s'intéresser à la balnéothérapie, à l'astronomie, aux vertus cachées des plantes et à la chirurgie. Plus tard, la mère de Léonard de Vinci fut traitée de "fille de Trotula" parce qu'elle était fille-mère. Avec sa médecine empathique, Trotula semblait encore trop moderne pour être honnête...

Abstract

Throughout its history, the American West symbolized a place of hope, and new beginnings, where anything was possible, especially for men. However, the history written until the 1970s and 1980s excluded women. Sigrid Schönfelder illustrates how the American West served as a catalytic gold mine for many transformations, especially for women. It draws on the life narratives of three healthcare providers whose devotion within the social reform movements of the long nineteenth century contributed significantly to shaping healthcare policies. Their stories show how women contributed to place-making in the West and served as role models for other women to enter the field of medicine.
