Alternative Perspectives on Labour
摘要
If the structural dismantling of collective legacies defines today’s labour regimes, the discourse of care has emerged as both a response to and a symptom of these conditions. As corporality and sexuality, care and vulnerability are the repressed dimensions of the neoliberal individual.2 This phenomenon of removal contributed to maintaining the image of the sovereign, autonomous, self-sufficient, and entrepreneurial subject while simultaneously stigmatising dependency, linking it more to domination and hierarchy than to the metaphor of the network, which underpins the ethics of care.3 Although vulnerability and interdependence are inherent aspects of the human condition, care is often perceived as the exclusive concern of specific groups, such as the elderly, people with disabilities, and migrants, while simultaneously being confined to the emotional and feminised sphere.
