Neoliberalism has dismantled the social structures that offered
security and orientation to life. The far right successfully channels
the resulting fears and anxieties towards purist, social Darwinist fantasies. Politics of care stands as a defiant response to that. In
an era defined by uncertainty and precarity, care emerges as
survival, resistance, and imagination. Care is a counter-normative
project: sustaining and (re)generating social life while embracing
contradiction and resisting the demands for purity.
