Our criticaldatasense team created a short film for the International Merleau-Ponty Circle video series celebrating the 75th anniversary of Phenomenology of Perception. Permanently available on vimeo.
Drawing on our interviews for the Moral Horizons project, the film uses animations by Director Santanu Dutta to explore discipline, pain, trauma, and touch in the clinic.

Note Sunak also says credentialing & training can give care workers the sense of being valued. I wrote a book about such training & education: care workers & care work as #nevergoodenough. Not sure whether this interview exposes the idea’s absurdity or its grip.
Laura Kuenssberg: Maybe social care would improve is care workers weren't struggling on £18,000 / year.
Rishi Sunak: What if we gave them a SENSE that they're being paid more?
#BBCLauraK: Would you work for £18,000?
Rishi Sunak: Look Laura! My job actually matters!!
