FEMINIST RECOVERY: AGAINST CARE VIOLENCE <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Care is essential for life and survivance. The social and ecological fabric of existence is woven by care. But how is care being cared for in political and economic terms?  How is care understood as a specific way of knowing the planet and relating to the world? How does knowing change if the analysis of the condition of the planet and the world starts from relations of care? In the name of care, nation states have promoted the colonial supremacist project of patriarchy. In the name of freedom, so-called second wave feminism identified caring labors as burden hindering women\u2019s creativity, intellectual productivity, and economic mobility. In the name of health, nation states and international organizations have called for a war against the virus in pandemic times and have turned care workers into Covid-warriors. Tracing how modern colonial ontologies of gender were linked to mammalian epistemologies and their political economy of care essentialism, this lecture reflects on what kinds of analysis are needed for liberating care from patriarchal violence and capitalist extraction. Presenting the aims of feminist recovery plans, which were written by policy makers, care workers, activists, and researchers during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, this lecture asks how feminist recovery against care violence can be imagined and put into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
