Title: | The politics of care in technoscience | Authors: | Ana Araújo Barros Viseu | Keywords: | care, care practices, critical care, feminist technoscience, politics | Issue Date: | 1-Oct-2015 | Publisher: | SAGE Publications Ltd | Source: | Martin, A., Myers, N., & Viseu, A. (2015). The politics of care in technoscience. Social Studies of Science, 45(5), 625-641. | Journal: | Social Studies of Science | Abstract: | Care is a slippery word. Any attempt to define it will be exceeded by its multivocality in everyday and scholarly use. In its enactment, care is both necessary to the fabric of biological and social existence and notorious for the problems that it raises when it is defined, legislated, measured, and evaluated. What care looks and feels like is both context-specific and perspective-dependent. Yet, this elusiveness does not mean that it lacks importance. In our engagements with the worlds that we study, construct, and inhabit, we cannot but care: care is an essential part of being a researcher and a citizen. To properly invite you into this Special Issue, then, we need to say something about what we mean when we write about care. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12275/105 | DOI: | 10.1177/0306312715602073 |
