As these examples illustrate\, political corruption is often associated to a variety of instances of abuse of power that either derive from a vicious trait of individual character\, or develop within deeply dysfunctional institutions. To Emanuela Ceva and Maria Paola Ferretti\, however\, this piecemeal view is inadequate: individual and institutional instances of political corruption have a common root that we can understand only by treating corruption and anticorruption as a matter of a public ethics of office. Political corruption is the Trojan horse that undermines public institutions from within via an interrelated action of officeholders. Even well-designed and legitimate institutions can veer off track if the officeholders fail through their conduct to uphold a public ethics of office accountability. \nThis book offers an analytically rigorous definition of political corruption. It also investigates the common normative root of its two manifestations—corrupt individual character\, and corrupt institutional mechanisms—as a relationally wrongful practice that consists of an unaccountable use of the power of office by officeholders in public institutions. From this perspective\, political corruption must be understood from within\, for it is an internal enemy of public institutions that can only be opposed by mobilizing the officeholders to remain accountable and mutually answerable for their conduct. In this way\, anticorruption calls on the officeholders’ responsibility to work together to maintain an interactively just institutional system. \nThe Seminar Series in Ethics and Political Philosophy is a research oriented initiative hosted by the Center for Ethics\, Politics\, and Society at the University of Minho\, whose aim is to discuss works in progress of both established and younger scholars working in the fields of ethics\, social and political philosophy\, political and social theory. \nThe seminars are open to everyone\, but pre-registration is required. \nAfter registering\, we will send a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting and the pre-circulated material when available. A 30% discount code for the book purchase is available for registered participants. For inquiries\, contact the organizers at dsantoro@ilch.uminho.pt or gballacci@ilch.uminho.pt.

Within feminism\, silence figures prominently as the sign of oppression – as something that is done to one\, or a historically endured condition\, excluding women as speaking subjects. To break silence\, and to reclaim a speaking position for women\, is thus\, justifiably\, a key feminist desideratum. But is it necessarily the case that in speech\, and speech alone\, women might harbour any hope of enacting a “blueprint for a new life” (to cite Adrienne Rich’s famous poem)? This is the question the chapter pursues. \nThe Seminar Series in Ethics and Political Philosophy is a research oriented initiative hosted by the Center for Ethics\, Politics\, and Society at the University of Minho\, whose aim is to discuss works in progress of both established and younger scholars working in the fields of ethics\, social and political philosophy\, political and social theory. \nThe seminars are open to everyone\, but pre-registration is required.
