Presenting the view that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) could humanize capitalism by turning employers into care-givers, this text shows how the feminist theory of an ethic of care could be studied in the workplace.
Bodies in Revolt 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."
