Care practices, Care logic, Care ontology, Interdependency, Post-humanismAbstract
This paper is a theoretical review of the course followed by most of the main care researches, along with feminist claims of its centrality. We argue that it arrives at a concept of care as complex socio-practical processes which are fundamental for subjectivities, social consensus and the perpetuation of a common world. Thinking about interdependence in such practices, ‘ethics of care’ and the emergence of a post-humanist perspective, we are able to go, in a second movement, beyond that concept describing the specific logic of care practices as a tinkering logic and claiming for a transition from those ethics to an eventual ontology of “matters of care” which is inevitably political and changes our vision of ourselves and our placement in environment.
