This book explores how Lean – a global management doctrine –
operates and is adopted in real, corporeal, collective and
affective environments of health and social care services. During
Lean implementation processes, knowledges, affects, skills and
materialities come together in manifold, complex ways. Based on
ethnographic fieldwork, interviews and observation, and with
empirical and theoretical rigour, the book provides an answer to
the question of what happens to care work when processes become
‘Leaned’. As in many other fields, the predominantly female
health and social care sectors suffer from devaluation in terms of
wages and working conditions. The book explores how Lean management
is ultimately lived in this gendered context of work and labour.
Moreover, the book situates Lean and related management doctrines
in the current mutation of capitalism – that is, biocapitalism
– in which bios, life itself, becomes the core of value
production. The book adds to the corpus of work, organization and
management studies on Lean that have rarely focused on gender,
affect or sociomateriality. It provides scholars in Social Science,
Management and Gender Studies with a fresh outlook and a
cross-disciplinary take on Lean management.
The book investigates digitalisation in care for older people by
giving insight into service users' and professionals' opportunities
to digital agency in the context of European welfare states. With a
focus on service users and providers experiences of digital care,
the contributions address the manifold and often contradictory
consequences of active ageing policies and innovation programmes.
To assess digital agency of older people, ageism and co-creation in
the innovation processes as well the use of digital platforms are
addressed, while care professionals' digital agency is examined
through empirical cases that focus on the interaction between human
and non-human actors in long-term care services, the temporality
and spatiality of care, and the organisational requirements for
successful implementation of digital technologies. From a variety
of conceptual and theoretical viewpoints, the chapters provide a
comprehensive and timely overview of ways to address the phenomena
of ageing and digitalisation. The book provides critical vantage
points to academic readership, health and social care
professionals, policymakers, other stakeholders as well as the
general audience on the effects of digitalisation in care for older
people. "The Open Access version of this book, available at

From early modernity to today, society has encountered various
forms of interpersonal violence. Through exploration of particular
areas within Europe and Russia to Africa, America and Asia, this
collection presents both differences and connections among various
forms of interpersonal violence in different times, places,
institutional orders and relationships. Interpersonal Violence
introduces research results from studies in various disciplines,
such as history, sociology, social policy social work, cultural
studies, and gender studies. In focusing on the diverse and often
ignored social locations and cultural backgrounds of interpersonal
violence, the book demonstrates 1) how the specificity of
temporality and spatiality affect the manifestation of violence, 2)
how the dynamics of intersectional and institutional differences
are located in social space and time, and 3) how the different
forms of violence in different times are affectively, conceptually
and discursively connected. With its comprehensive and integrative
approach, this book is a key tool book for understanding the
phenomenon and cultural conceptions of interpersonal violence. It
would be most suitable for upper level undergraduates, graduates
doctoral students interested in social sciences, history,
criminology, psychology, cultural studies, education, gender
studies and public health.
