Vital Cultures and Ethics of Care

Abstract

Issue 22 of Cuadernos de Teoría Social, Vital Cultures and Ethics of Care, is dedicated to examining care as both a central problem of contemporary societies and an organising principle of social life. From a critical and interdisciplinary perspective, the contributions address the crisis of care in dialogue with the ethics of care, feminist economics, moral sociology, and social history, with a particular emphasis on Latin American and Spanish-speaking contexts. The dossier introduces concepts such as communities of care, grammars of care, and the communization of care, bringing together theoretical reflection, empirical analysis, and political-institutional debates to rethink interdependence, social justice, and contemporary ways of sustaining life.
