Curatorial Activism : Towards an Ethics of Curating
Only 16% of the most recent Venice Biennale artists were female.A mere 14% of MoMA’s 2016 display is by non-white artists.Only one third of artists represented by US galleries are female, but over two-thirds of the enrolment in art and art-history programmes is young women… The fight for gender and race equality in the art world is far from over.Indeed, the more closely one examines the numbers, the more glaring it becomes that white, Euro-American, heterosexual, privileged and, above all, male artists continue to dominate the art world.Arranged in thematic sections focusing on feminism, race and sexuality, this book examines and illustrates pioneering examples of exhibitions that have broken down boundaries and demonstrated that new approaches are possible, from Nochlin’s ‘Women Artists’ at the LACMA in the mid-1970s to Martin’s ‘Carambolages’ in 2016 at the Grand Palais in Paris.By exposing both the disparities and inclusive solutions, the author addresses the urgent need in the contemporary art world for curatorial strategies that provide alternatives to exclusionary models of collecting and display.In so doing, she provides an invaluable source of information for current thinkers and, in a world dominated by visual culture, a vital source of inspiration for today’s ever-expanding new generation of curators.

Brand Activism : Advertising and the Ethics of Visibility
This book critically examines how brands determine the visibility of social issues through their advertising practices, informing the ways we are persuaded to feel, think, and act as consumers and citizens. Through a critical analysis of brand responses to ongoing geopolitical events, such as the Ukrainian conflict and the war in Gaza, Scalvini demonstrates how commercial objectives drive ethical stances, leading to the prioritization of certain profit-driven narratives and the exclusion of more politicized ones.Drawing on in-depth interviews with post-Millennial consumers across North America, Europe, and Asia, Brand Activism critiques brands’ reluctance to engage with politically sensitive topics, particularly those affecting the Global South, arguing that this avoidance distorts the representation of moral responsibility in advertising.This book examines how ‘ordinary’ consumers—those not strongly aligned with activist consumption—negotiate the idea that they should take moral responsibility for their spending choices.However, it also discusses the rise of a new generation of consumer activists who reject superficial brand gestures and demand accountability for global justice.Case studies from brands such as Nike, Patagonia, Gillette, Dove, and Ben & Jerry’s are explored in detail to unpack the symbolic, rhetorical, and discursive strategies by which present brand activist campaigns are being hollowed out and re-articulated into a moral discourse. This is valuable and insightful reading for advanced students and researchers in Media and Communication, Sociology, Marketing, and Business disciplines.

The Ethics of Privacy and Surveillance
Privacy matters because it shields us from possible abuses of power.Human beings need privacy just as much as they need community.Our need for socialization brings with it risks and burdens which in turn give rise to the need for spaces and time away from others.To impose surveillance upon someone is an act of domination.The foundations of democracy quiver under surveillance.Given how important privacy is for individual and collective wellbeing, it is striking that it has not enjoyed a more central place in philosophy.The philosophical literature on privacy and surveillance is still very limited compared to that on justice, autonomy, or equality-and yet the former plays a role in protecting all three values.Perhaps philosophers haven't attended much to privacy because for most of the past two centuries there have been strong enough privacy norms in place and not enough invasive technologies.Privacy worked for most people most of the time, which made thinking about it unnecessary.It's when things stop working that the philosopher's attention is most easily caught-the owl of Minerva spreading its wings only with impending dusk.With the spread of machine learning, a kind of AI that often uses vast amounts of personal data, and a whole industry dedicated to the trade of personal data becoming one of the most popular business models of the 21st century, it's time for philosophy to look more closely at privacy. This book is intended to contribute to a better understanding of privacy from a philosophical point of view-what it is, what is at stake in its loss, and how it relates to other rights and values.The five parts that compose this book respond to five basic questions about privacy: Where does privacy come from?What is privacy? Why does privacy matter? What should we do about privacy? Where are we now?

Can you give examples of ethics and freedom?
Ethics can be seen in actions such as telling the truth, being honest, and treating others with respect and fairness. For example, choosing not to cheat on a test or to steal from someone demonstrates ethical behavior. Freedom can be seen in actions such as expressing one's opinions, making choices about one's own life, and having the ability to pursue one's own goals and aspirations. For example, having the freedom to speak out against injustice or to choose a career path that aligns with one's passions demonstrates freedom.

Can you explain virtue ethics, duty ethics, and goods ethics?
Virtue ethics focuses on the character of the individual and emphasizes the development of virtuous traits such as honesty, courage, and compassion. It is concerned with cultivating moral excellence and living a good life. Duty ethics, also known as deontological ethics, is based on the idea that certain actions are inherently right or wrong, regardless of their consequences. It emphasizes the importance of following moral rules and fulfilling one's duties and obligations. Goods ethics, or consequentialism, evaluates the morality of an action based on its outcomes or consequences. It focuses on maximizing the overall good or happiness and considers the potential impact of an action on others.

Is Buddhist ethics comparable to Christian ethics?
Buddhist ethics and Christian ethics share some similarities, such as the emphasis on compassion, love, and non-violence. Both traditions also promote the idea of treating others with kindness and respect. However, there are also significant differences between the two, such as the concept of sin and salvation in Christianity, which is not present in Buddhism. Additionally, the role of divine authority and the concept of God differs between the two traditions. Overall, while there are some common ethical principles, the underlying beliefs and foundations of Buddhist and Christian ethics are distinct.

Does freedom not exist when morality and ethics are absent?
Freedom can still exist in the absence of morality and ethics, as freedom is the ability to act and make choices without restraint. However, the absence of morality and ethics can lead to negative consequences and harm to others. Without a moral and ethical framework, individuals may abuse their freedom and harm others, leading to chaos and conflict. Therefore, while freedom can still technically exist without morality and ethics, it may not lead to a just and harmonious society.

Pedagogy of Freedom : Ethics, Democracy, and Civic Courage
In Pedagogy of Freedom Paulo Freire travels ever more deeply into the territory where learning and activism are the essence of human life.This profound new book shows why an engaged way of learning and teaching is central to the creation of the individual, culture, and history. Freire finds in today's emerging global society a new context in which education cannot be indifferent to the reproduction of dominant ideologies and the interrogation of them.He argues against 'progressive' liberalism and its passive acceptance of a world where unemployment and hunger must inevitably co-exist with opulence.In so doing, he shows why an acceptance of fatalism leads to loss of personal and societal freedom_and how those individuals who think without optimism have lost their place in history. This book displays the striking creativity and profound insight that characterized Freire's work to the very end of his life_an uplifting and provocative exploration not only for educators, but for all who learn and live.

Does Kant's deontological ethics contradict Aristotle's eudaemonistic ethics?
Kant's deontological ethics and Aristotle's eudaemonistic ethics have some fundamental differences, but they do not necessarily contradict each other. Kant's ethics focus on duty and the intention behind actions, while Aristotle's ethics emphasize achieving eudaimonia, or human flourishing, through virtuous actions. While Kant's emphasis on duty can sometimes conflict with Aristotle's emphasis on virtue, both ethical theories ultimately aim to guide individuals towards leading a good and moral life. Therefore, while they may approach ethics from different perspectives, they can be seen as complementary rather than contradictory.

Is Nicomachean Ethics the same as Virtue Ethics?
Nicomachean Ethics is a specific work by Aristotle that is considered one of the foundational texts in virtue ethics. While Nicomachean Ethics is a key text within the broader framework of virtue ethics, virtue ethics itself is a broader ethical theory that encompasses various other works and perspectives beyond just Aristotle's. So, while Nicomachean Ethics is a significant part of virtue ethics, they are not exactly the same thing.
-
Is responsibility ethics the same as future ethics?
Responsibility ethics and future ethics are related but not the same. Responsibility ethics focuses on the moral obligations and duties that individuals and organizations have in the present moment, while future ethics considers the ethical implications of our actions on future generations and the long-term consequences of our choices. While responsibility ethics emphasizes the immediate impact of our actions, future ethics considers the broader and long-term effects of our decisions on the well-being of future generations and the sustainability of the planet. Both are important aspects of ethical decision-making, but they address different time frames and perspectives.
