Description

What do we mean by care? Who governs? Is care also a form of governance? Is it possible to care without also governing? How does care relate to sovereignty and freedom? Who is responsible? Can we live without care or caring institutions? What are the implications of making states and NGOs as opposed to families responsible for care? What are the gendered dimensions of care? What are the racial ones? How can we think about care across various geo-political and historical circumstances? Are prisons also caring institutions? Are nursing and retirement homes? Are families? Over the next semester, we will investigate the above questions through empirical and theoretical texts as well as film, poetry, and literature.
