#radicalcare

The capitalist organisation of care produces and reproduces our societies’ necropolitical assumptions (Mbembe 2003). What is saved and whatnot, who takes care and who does not, who lives and who can only afford to survive, are decisions at the heart of every assemblage and society historically formalised by different models of care re/distribution. The same Covid-19 pandemic can be read as a crisis highlighting many of these necropolitical assumptions. That said, throughout history and till nowadays, like an underground railway, resistant communities have produced other models of care re/distribution to dominant norms. The analysis of these practices, their recurrent and discordant elements, can be helpful for those who are willing to think and organise our relations differently within this planet.
