The French care economy
Screening the Hospital
The workplace is a critical site in the social construction of gender that transforms cultural norms about gender into structurally ascribed and hierarchical power relationships. This article examines representations of hospital work in recent French and Belgian fiction films exploring the connections between idealized gender identities and the existence of profoundly unequal and stressful working conditions. Drawing on theoretical perspectives f…
The entanglements which make instruments musical
A thing becomes a musical instrument by virtue of its use in a social context, a use of which its initial intended design (if it had one) forms only a part: sometimes a very small part.Drawing on the notion of the ‘performance ecosystem’ this papersuggests that instrument designers/makers working with digital technologies might fruitfully attend further to the social contexts/constructs that characterise every level of musicking. It looks at the …
Co-designing a new approach to delivering integrated services to chronically ill patients within existing funding constraints – Victoria’s HealthLinks trial
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
Engendering Hope
This paper examines instances of recent musical and artistic works and asks to what extent it makes sense to regard certain practices and technologies as gendered. It looks at a number of strategies for making, suggesting that male gender stereotypes are as prevalent and unhelpful (to practitioners) as female ones. It looks at aspects of the working environments of practitioners to determine whether changes in such conditions might alleviate the …
Tullis Rennie's Muscle Memory
This paper explores a recent, broadly 'electroacoustic', fixed medium composition by Tullis Rennie, which uses his background in ethnographic fieldwork to explore (in this case through auto-ethnography) modes of listening, and the role of technologies in mediating this listening. Muscle Memory: A conversation about jazz, with Graham South (trumpet) (2014) begins to answer questions about how one work can comment on and analyse or critique another…
A Capitalism That Kills
France Télécom has been at the center of intense public scrutiny since 2008, following a sharp rise in workplace suicides at the company. This macabre reputation now stood in sharp contrast with the company's image during the 1980s and 1990s as a showpiece for successful liberalization and as a former state-owned enterprise that was blazing a trail toward a new globalized economy. Drawing on Emile Durkheim's seminal work, Suicide (1897), the arti…
Touching at a Distance
This is a paper about resistance and affordance as they relate to music-making in the most extended sense, and perhaps about empathy if this is understood as a capacity to ‘read’ the resistances and affordances of objects, bodies, people, and environments. It proceeds from a set of broad working assumptions which inform one individual's musical practice, via description of a musical-instrument-making project which is a hybrid of physical and virt…
Between republic and market
The rise of neo-liberal globalisation has posed major challenges for all European countries, identifying itself as the key political tension of the coming era. Yet, it is in France that globalisation has produced the deepest tensions, and it is here that it has generated its greatest political resistance. The author pursues two separate lines of enquiry. First, she considers the influence of French political tradition and an enduring legacy of re…
Globalization, the ConfÃ(c)dÃ(c)ration Paysanne, and Symbolic Power
Situating Movements Historically
Recent literature on social movements has called for a renewal of theory so that it engages more directly with the social and historical dynamics in which movements emerge and crystallize. Too often, some critics argue, movements are treated as static or reified phenomena that are disconnected from their links to space and time. I examine new social movement theory from an historical perspective that emphasizes its connections with concrete socia…
Mobilising against Globalisation
Contemporary France has witnessed the rise of an anti-globalisation movement that has mobilised with considerable intensity and force on a national and international stage. This article examines the role of Attac, the leading French organisation against neo-liberal globalisation, focusing on its impact within mainstream political life. Attac has been characterised by unparalleled success within formal politics, gaining access to key institutions …
Social Movements in France
The past decade of French politics was marked by a rise of social movements that articulated new struggles and expressed changing demands. The new movements gave voice and representation to groups that had been marginalised by political institutions and excluded from mainstream society. Sarah Waters explores a 'new generation of movements' within French political life and seeks to examine their meaning and significance. The outstanding feature of…
New social movement politics in France
The term 'new social movement' (NSM) tends to be broadly used by scholars to denote all recently formed non‐traditional types of social movement. Yet, the forms of social movement which have emerged in France over the past decade (anti‐racist movement, solidarity movement, Aids advocacy groups) differ from earlier NSMs in important ways. The most salient feature of these movements is their strong civic dimension. Their principal role is to defend…
The limits of local economic intervention
Chambers of commerce in France and Italy are powerful organisations with a unique potential for local economic growth. As public‐law organisations, they are vested with extensive formal powers and resources, far surpassing those of their British counterparts. Yet despite this potential, chambers in these states do not tend to play a dynamic role within the local economy. In recent years, they have undergone progressive decline and become confined…

Tangentopoli’ and the emergence of a new political order in Italy
The investigations of the Italian judiciary into the illegal financing of political parties, the Tangentopoli1 case, has precipitated a profound crisis within the Italian political system. While crises are a regular feature of postwar Italian politics, the current scandal is unfolding in a radically altered political context. The dissolution of the Communist Party and consequent decline of the DC‐PCI balance has removed internal blockages and cre…
Timbre composition
Timbral music is frequently considered in phenomenological terms which purport to have objective or non-metaphoric status, and which suggest that music can be usefully regarded as a system of autonomous timbral objects. The author suggests that current debates concerning the interpretive status of the observer, and changes in the representational nature of language make such analyses problematic, drawing attention to the extent to which social pr…
Nuntius
This investigation examines the degree to which notational integration of the two media of music and dance is possible. A distinction is made between the interaction of music and dance, and the practical issues of the composer/ choreographer relationship, with a tentative classification of both. The authors then describe their computer-based compositional and choreographic system, NUNTIUS, which provides direct data transfer and interpretation (s…
