Kommentar/Beschreibung

Care concerns everyone, and everyone seems to have roughly an idea of what the term care means. However, if one looks more closely at the social, economic and political contexts in which care is given and received, and restricted or rejected, it becomes more difficult to define exactly what care is. Anthropological perspectives are particularly valuable here because they always consider discourses and practices of care as distinct processes unfolding within contexts. Anthropologists explore the ethnographic particularities of care contexts and ask, for example, how care relates to, and connects with, reciprocity, dignity, and dependence, vulnerability and in-/equality. Let’s take a closer look in this course on how findings from sociocultural anthropology shape and shake current debates on care across societies and across disciplines.
