International seminar on the concept and practice of care

How did the pandemic find us? The syndemic crisis and the policies of the states: the neoliberal neglect, privatizations and social cuts how much they have influenced the effects of the crisis
– Situation of countries in March 2020 – Different conditions, different consequences- Different States’ reactions: lockdowns, other measures, underestimation, used for repression.Right wing’s instrumental use of the covid restrictions in some countries (no vax, no green pass) – The intellectual property of vaccine patents and the power of multinationals: the majority of the world’s population is not vaccinated!- Back to “normality”? Yes or No. The crisis has increased global inequalities, highlighted the failure of the health system, produced a decrease in employment, especially of women …
From care-work (highly visible also in the pandemic: nurses, cleaning in hospitals, smartworking + home and family…) to the questioning of the hierarchy between production and reproduction; women rights.  Smartworking not only make women’s work more heavy, but cancels social relations between workers, it is becoming “normal”, but sociality is a fundament of work!

Carelessness and care. The world to the test of the pandemic and beyond … Women’s thoughts and practices  

October 23rd, 2:00 pm
