Beyond Poverty: Social Justice in a Global Marketplace

The social justice paradigm, developed in philosophy by John Rawls and others, reaches limits when confronted with diverse populations, unsound governments, and global markets.Its parameters are further limited by a traditional utilitarian approach to both industrial actors and consumer behaviors. Finally, by focusing too exclusively on poverty, as manifest in insufficient incomes or resources, the paradigm overlooks the oppressive role that gender,race, and religious prejudice play in keeping the poor subordinated. The authors of this article suggest three ways in which researchers in marketing could bring their unique expertise to the question of social justice in a global economy: by reinventing the theoretical foundation laid down by thinkers such as Rawls, by documenting and evaluating emergent “feasible fixes” to achieve justice (such as the global resource dividend, cause-related marketing, Fair Trade, and philanthrocapitalism), and by exploring the parameters of the consumption basket that would be minimally required to achieve human capabilities.

Defining consensus norms for palliative care of people with intellectual disabilities in Europe using Delphi methods: A White Paper from the European Association of Palliative care

Background: People with intellectual disabilities often present with unique challenges that make it more difficult to meet their
palliative care needs.
Aim: To define consensus norms for palliative care of people with intellectual disabilities in Europe.
Design: Delphi study in four rounds: (1) a taskforce of 12 experts from seven European countries drafted the norms, based on available empirical knowledge and regional/national guidelines; (2) using an online survey, 34 experts from 18 European countries evaluated the draft norms, provided feedback and distributed the survey within their professional networks. Criteria for consensus
were clearly defined; (3) modifications and recommendations were made by the taskforce; and (4) the European Association for
Palliative Care reviewed and approved the final version.
Setting and participants: Taskforce members: identified through international networking strategies. Expert panel: a purposive sample identified through taskforce members’ networks.
Results: A total of 80 experts from 15 European countries evaluated 52 items within the following 13 norms: equity of access, communication, recognising the need for palliative care, assessment of total needs, symptom management, end-of-life decision making, involving those who matter, collaboration, support for family/carers, preparing for death, bereavement support, education/training
and developing/managing services. None of the items scored less than 86% agreement, making a further round unnecessary. In light of respondents’ comments, several items were modified and one item was deleted.
Conclusion: This White Paper presents the first guidance for clinical practice, policy and research related to palliative care for people with intellectual disabilities based on evidence and European consensus, setting a benchmark for changes in policy and practice.

Le roman au risque de l’amnésie. Stratégies mémorielles du récit différé (Leblanc, Sue, Mouhy)

Alors que la poésie, le théâtre, la musique ou la peinture se transmettent au premier chef par la continuité de leurs formes, le roman n’a aucune continuité formelle, sinon celle d’être une oeuvre en prose d’une certaine longueur, mettant en scène des personnages fictifs. Par quels repères et quels relais, dès lors, le roman construit-il sa propre histoire? Ce recueil pose la question de la mémoire non pas diffuse mais précise que l’on garde des romans et des mécanismes qui la sous-tendent : quelles scènes, quelles images, quels personnages, quels « résumés » les lecteurs, mais aussi les romanciers eux-mêmes dans leurs propres oeuvres, conservent-ils ou sont-ils amenés à conserver des romans qu’ils ont lus? Par des exemples qui vont du Moyen Âge à l’époque contemporaine, c’est à ces questions que répondent les auteurs réunis autour de l’équipe du TSAR (Travaux de recherche sur les arts du roman), qui envisage le roman non pas comme un genre littéraire parmi d’autres mais comme une forme singulière de pensée et d’imagination.
