This edited volume offers a contemporary rethinking of the
relationship between love and care in the context of neoliberal
practices of professionalization and work. Each of the book's three
sections interrogates a particular site of care, where the
affective, political, legal, and economic dimensions of care
intersect in challenging ways. These sites are located within a
variety of institutionally managed contexts such as the
contemporary university, the theatre hall, the prison complex, the
family home, the urban landscape, and the care industry. The
geographical spread of the case studies stretches across India,
Vietnam, Sweden, Brazil, South Africa, the UK and the US and
provides broad coverage that crosses the divide between the Global
North and the Global South. To address this transnational
interdisciplinary field of study, the collection utilises insights
from across the humanities and social sciences and includes
contributions from literature, sociology, cultural and media
studies, philosophy, feminist theory, theatre, art history, and
education. These inquiries build on a variety of conceptual tools
and research methods, from data analysis to psychoanalytic reading.
Love and the Politics of Care delivers an attentive and widely
relevant examination of the politics of care and makes a compelling
case for an urgent reconsideration of the methods that currently
structure and regulate it.
