Assessing preferences and motivations for owning exotic pets : Care matters
2023
Understanding drivers of demand for exotic pets may help inform adequate conservation strategies to address unsustainable trade. Here, we used a best-worst scaling approach to understand the variety of preferences and motivations for owning exotic pets. Respondents (316 from 33 countries) preferred exotic pets that were captive-bred, had rare aesthetic features, and were common in the wild and abundant in the market. Species that were at risk of extinction, in short supply, sourced from the wild, and under trade restrictions were the least favoured by respondents. Feelings of care, such as attachment, affection, nurture, as well as curiosity and being passionate about the species, were domi…
Cuidado y responsabilidad: de Hans Jonas a Carol Gilligan
2019
El objetivo de este trabajo es situar la ética del cuidado en contexto de las éticas de la responsabilidad. Para ello analizamos la orientación hacia el cuidado en las éticas de la responsabilidad mostrando la transición de una responsabilidad limitada por el cálculo consecuencialista en la actividad política, a una responsabilidad integral exigida por la preservación de la naturaleza ante los desafíos de la ciencia y la técnica. Interpretamos la aportación de Carol Gilligan en términos de «provocación » a la ética contemporánea para que el cuidado no sea únicamente una categoría sentimental o afectiva sino una categoría con la que reconstruir reflexivamente la justicia social. Esta interpr…
Stakeholder salience for small businesses : a social proximity perspective
2017
This paper advances stakeholder salience theory from the viewpoint of small businesses. It is argued that the stakeholder salience process for small businesses is influenced by their local embeddedness, captured by the idea of social proximity, and characterised by multiple relationships that the owner-manager and stakeholders share beyond the business context. It is further stated that the ethics of care is a valuable ethical lens through which to understand social proximity in small businesses. The contribution of the study conceptualises how the perceived social proximity between local stakeholders and small business owner-managers influences managerial considerations of the legitimacy, …
Dividing Responsibility for Care : Tracing the Ethics of Care in Local Care Strategies
2020
This article analyses local care policies through the lens of the feminist ethics of care. The focus is on the normative understandings regarding care that emerge in local care strategy documents and how these understandings relate with the concept of ‘responsibility’. In this article, strategies published by the municipality of Jyväskylä, Finland, between the years 2008 and 2016, are analysed using Trace analysis. The research questions are: How is the division of responsibility regarding care among different actors constructed in the strategies? How do the roles assigned to these different actors accord with the principles of ethics of care? The findings show that the documents emphasise …
Los nuevos derechos sociales: El derecho al cuidado como fundamento del pacto constitucional
2016
ResumenNos encontramos ante un momento histórico y político que sugiere una revisión constitucional, con necesidades específicas y diferentes a las de 1978. Existen nuevas demandas que exigen que se revise el pacto constitucional. Algunas afectan directamente al catálogo de derechos, especialmente a los llamados derechos sociales, y se refieren por un lado, a la necesidad de otorgar a los derechos sociales ya reconocidos la consideración de fundamentales con todo lo que ello conlleva; y por otro, a la necesidad de crear nuevos derechos. El previsible aumento de personas necesitadas de cuidados, la escasez de servicios públicos para su asistencia, el tipo de cuidado informal prestado casi ex…
