Freeing the care
Abstract
This article emphasizes the relational dimension of care, analyzing it from various angles: in terms of moral responsibility, differentiated psychological development for boys and girls, emotion work and emotional capitalism. Freeing up care means overcoming the divisions between the academic disciplines that study it in fragments, reflecting the social division of care work. It is also about overcoming divisions within feminism to recognize the importance of care work and those who do it.
