How care can resist the stifling force of the neoliberal paradigm
In a world brimming with tremendous wealth and resources, too many
are suffering the oppression of precarious existences-and with no
adequate relief from free market-driven institutions. Care Ethics
in the Age of Precarity assembles an international group of
interdisciplinary scholars to explore the question of care theory
as a response to market-driven capitalism, addressing the
relationship of three of the most compelling social and political
subjects today: care, precarity, and neoliberalism. While care
theory often centers on questions of individual actions and
choices, this collection instead connects theory to the
contemporary political moment and public sphere. The contributors
address the link between neoliberal values-such as individualism,
productive exchange, and the free market-and the pervasive state of
precarity and vulnerability in which so many find themselves. From
disability studies and medical ethics to natural-disaster responses
and the posthuman, examples from Maori, Dutch, and Japanese
politics to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter
movement, this collection presents illuminating new ways of
considering precarity in our world. Care Ethics in the Age of
Precarity offers a hopeful tone in the growing valorization of
care, demonstrating the need for an innovative approach to
precarity within entrenched systems of oppression and a change in
priorities around the basic needs of humanity. Contributors:
