Bodies in Revolt

<p><em>Bodies in Revolt</em> argues that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) could humanize capitalism by turning employers into care-givers, creating an ethic of care in the workplace. Unlike other feminists, Ruth O'Brien bases her ethics not on benevolence, but rather on self-preservation. She relies on Deleuze's and Guttari's interpretation of Spinoza and Foucault's conception of corporeal resistance to show how a workplace ethic that is neither communitarian nor individualistic can be based upon the rallying cry "one for all and all for one."</p> Preface 1 A Subversive Act 2 The Life of the Body 3 An Alternative Ethic of Care 4 The Body at Work 5 Unmasking Control 6 Unions: Bridging the Divide 7 Critical Care: All for One and One for All
