**August 10, 2007 (Fri) Study Group on Care
[What is study group on care?]
After a report meeting on care was held in March 2007, we set up this study group. This study group welcomes various kinds of people in addition to students at Graduate School of Core Ethics and Frontier Sciences and aims tconsider various aspects of care. We have a mailing list. (For details, please contact MATOBA)
*Our Study Group's Projects in 2007
[Purpose of This Event]
So far care has barely been dealt with as micro-level issues based under the topic of the dynamics of "what a person does (cares)" and "what a person is done (cared)" in the field.
On the other hand, many discussions have recently focused on "the ethics of care" as an ideal that complements "the ethics of justice" in the field of "publicness" or as an ideal that alternates it.
However, it seems that works that examine the effectiveness of those discussions and moreover, build up thoughts that can be used in the field by examining the possibilitiy of their application by running them with the clinical field have not conducted enough.
This time we will try to conduct such kinds of works based on reports of three persons who have had prescriptive approaches on care and two persons who have been working in the field.
Program (Tentative)

[Profile of Reporters]
*Abe, Akira
[Affiliation]: Graduate Student at Graduate School of Core Ethics and Frontier Sciences at Ritsumeikan University (Area of Publicness)
[Specialty]: Sociology/Ethics
[Self-introfuction]: My main research themes are research on political and social thoughts of Richard Rorty and social solidarity theory
[What I Feel about This Event]:
"Care" is the theme I have been interested in for a long time. At first, I was only interested in "the ethics of care". Yet as time passes by, I have been inspired
by awareness of the issues of people who have practiced "care". I really look forward to participating in this event.
*Hotta, Yoshitaro
[Affiliation]: Project Researcher, Research Center and Institute at Ritsumeikan University (TATEIWA Project)
[Specialty]: medical ethics/bioethics
[Self-introfuction]:
I am interested in issues medical ethics and bioethics deal with.
[What I Feel about This Event]:
I would like to consider the propriety of who asks whom to have the burden of concrete acts, especially in care and assistance.
I would like to examine the possibility and limitation of "Paid Labor" as its shared organization based on the nature of care and assistance.
*Sato, Sayaka
[Affiliation]: Graduate Student, Graduate School of Education, The University of Tokyo
[Specialty]: Education
My methodology is based on the prescriptive approach of feminism ethics and philosophy.
[Self-introfuction]:
I conduct research on how such issues as disrimination, oppression and exclusion appear in children while I am at an elementary school or an welfare facility.
I have verbalized what I have felt with children and users and try to connect them with what academic intellect has accumulated.
[What I Feel about This Event]:
My basic concern is "care" in the society rather than individual one. How does it make possible?
This time I mainly deal with E.F.Kittay's "Public ethical framework of care".
To what extent can "care ethics" complement what has been excluded from the category of "money" and "things (or labor)"?
I would like to examine its possibility and limitation.
*Obata, Mitsuko
[Affiliation]: Graduate Student at Graduate School of Core Ethics and Frontier Sciences at Ritsumeikan University/Basic Course on Care, Faculty of Medical School of Nursing, Oita University
[Specialty]: Nursing
[What I Feel about This Event]:
How has "care" been dealt with in the clinical nursing field and the nursing industry?
With introduction of the literature, I am going to report about my own awareness of issues on care.
*Nakaguchi, Michiko
[Affiliation]: Graduate Student at Graduate School of Core Ethics and Frontier Sciences at Ritsumeikan University
[Specialty]: sociology/welfare/nursing/care/system
[Self-introfuction]:
My main research theme is to discuss "care as valuable existence" from perspectives of issues over "care" and their relationship/arrangement.
[What I Feel about This Event]:
Based on the above discription, what I have been doing is 1) by having interviews with patients with ALS, and using them as media, I would like to assist them
to have "various rights" and 2) to examine issues of "the aged" since it includes various kinds of problems.
I look forward to participating in this event.
Matoba, Kazuko (Planner of This Event)
[Affiliation]: Graduate Student at Graduate School of Core Ethics and Frontier Sciences at Ritsumeikan University
Medical director, Vihara ward (palliative care), Nagaoka nishi hospital
[Specialty]: medical care at the end of life
[Self-introfuction]:
What I have been working on is to examine the scheme of the system of medical care at the end of life.
Now I am examining things that relate to the live and death in the UK after 1990s.
[What I Feel about This Event]:
By considering responses from the clinical field, I hope we will understand care more.
I also hope we will continuously work on this topic and this event will become the opportunity to organize various issues for the future.

*Feedback from Professor Uemura (Commentator)
July 20, 2007
First of all, let me say thank you for allowing me to participate in the study group called "Present State and Challenges of Development of Tactile Stimulative Divice for Information Guarantee". Since I have been engaged in the development of toys for a long time,
the word of "tactile stimulative divice" sounds very exciting and what we call "curiosity of developers" brought me to this study group.
However, this study group made me realize the importance of the word of "information guarantee". It also made me realize the necessity of "information guarantee" for
"aged eyes as the aging phenomenon". Especially, since "aged eyes" of those who had good eyes in their youth are vision disabilities that are not trained enough, they feel troublesome.
Moreover, since the society centers on people with no disabilities, I feel the necessity of "information guarantee" strongly.
Now, let me make comments by stating parts of "curiosity of developers" on "tactile stimulative divice".
Informatization of toys starting since 1980s has changed the world of toys from the world of tactile sense to that of vision rapidly. While I was engaged in the development of
the Family Computer, one of the "visual toys", I realized both the depth of the possibilities of playthings of visual toys and hugeness of its businesses.
And with the progress of informational revolution, there appears cell-phone-type visual toys which do not require TV image receptor. And now, it appears that the visual toys enter the golden days.
By the way, the origin of "omocha" (toys) is said to come from wife's word of "omochite". We understand from its origin that since "omocha" (toys) are something we carry with our hands, "touch with palm of our hands and stroke with our fingers",
things that we can enjoy "various enjoyable world of imagination" are "omocha" (toys). That is, "omocha" (toys) are real "tactile stimulative divices". When we consider "visual toys" from the viewpoint, parts that can be touched are mere "manual operation buttons", and we cannot draw any imagination from the buttons.
Moreover, "images that appear on TV or liquid crystal displays" alternate "parts that we imagine". And we are then fascinated with the world of plays that revolves around the world of images. As a result, I am afraid that "imagination that has been naturally trained by touching" "omocha" (toys) as tactile stimulative divice have might be lost.
However, it is only 30 years since informatization of toys came off. However, it is a momentary incident seen from the history of human kinds. I was wondering if people would get tired of visual toys and "the mind that enjoys touch functions", which is stored in their genes, would make us seek for toys with ample touch functions in the future.
