Communities of Kinship
In Communities of Kinship: Retrieving Christian Practices of Solidarity with Lepers as a Paradigm for Overcoming Exclusion of Older People, Carlo Calleja describes kinship as a moral category, arguing that practicing kinship with others can cultivate virtues that shape the character of the agent. Contemporary Western society tends to focus on kinship as the sharing of blood ties or genetic material. On the other hand, the spiritual kinship that is proposed by religions tends to be exclusive and often nominal. For this reason, Calleja proposes practices and structures of solidaristic kinship, which involves sharing in the suffering of the other person. Finding parallels between the exclusion of lepers and the efforts of Christian communities to reforge kinship bonds with them in ancient and medieval times, he argues that communities of kinship with older persons can help cultivate the virtues needed for the flourishing of oneself and society.

A Christian and African Ethic of Women's Political Participation
This book surveys a broad panorama of Christian and African traditions to discover and assess the components that will illuminate and motivate a Christian and African ethic of women’s political participation. The author’s primary lens for diagnosing the problems faced by women in Africa is Engelbert Mveng’s concept of “anthropological poverty” that results from slavery and colonialism. It affects women in unique ways and is exacerbated by the religious and cultural histories of women’s oppression. The author advocates an interplay between the sacredness of every individual’s life, a salient principle of Christian ethics, and the collective consciousness of solidarity distinctiv...

LA BIOETICA E IL PARADOSSO DELLE APPARENZE
Il testo tenta di riformulare il discorso bioetico intorno al mondo della disabilità, della dipendenza e della fragilità, con l’intento di ripensare l’esistenza delle persone disabili ed il loro essere nel mondo. Queste riflessioni pongono al centro la persona, superando una mentalità inerente la mancanza e mettendo in discussione le normali definizioni di normalità, tentando così di eliminare barriere, pregiudizi e stereotipi. Gli autori intendono ritrarre l’esperienza della disabilità lungo tutto l’arco della vita sottolineando la necessità di incontrare persone, senza fermare lo sguardo sulla loro disabilità, permettendo così una riflessione bioetica più minuziosa, più inclusiva e attenta ad un corpo dipendente e fragile che appartiene all’esperienza umana in generale.
