Cultures of Care and Politics of Healing
In the wake of intersecting crises—war, political repression, pandemic, aging societies, economic downturns, environmental collapse, and global governance—the subjects of health and care emerge as urgent yet contested terrains. These crises not only affect bodies but also reverberate through the emotional, ethical, and spiritual dimensions of collective life.
At stake are pressing questions: What does it mean to heal in the face of trauma, inequality, and despair? How do practices of care and healing confront or reproduce the emotional economies of neoliberalism, where resilience, positivity or “self-care” are often commodified? How might we imagine forms of care and solidarity that resist co-optation and instead foster justice, repair, and new possibilities of being together?
How are we to heal—not only physically, but also mentally, emotionally, spiritually and collectively? Or: How should the very notion of healing be rethought?
Such inquiries are not only central to surviving the present moment, but also to envisioning futures of reparation and redress in the aftermath of war, disaster and multifarious forms of trauma.
We invite contributions that critically explore the multiple forces—cultural, economic, institutional, and geopolitical—that shape practices of care and health, as well as the ways care itself becomes a terrain for negotiating power and (in)equality, or for building community beyond borders.
We welcome submissions that include empirical case studies, theoretical reflections, as well as artistic and literary analyses that examine the entanglements of health, bodies, culture, politics, and collective life across diverse contexts.
Suggested (but not limited to) the following themes:
We particularly welcome papers that connect health politics to broader transformations in society, ecology, and culture, including those that critically interrogate how care is distributed, contested, and imagined under conditions of crisis.
