Care Revolution

Based on the critical-feminist analysis of the care crisis(es), the term care revolution is both a goal and a method of political action. The aim is to place care at the center of economy(s) and politics and thus to promote the realization of conditions of life that satisfy life interests and needs and are not subject to to profit interests, which requires a radical rethinking of existing economic and social systems. Thus care revolution is defined as a “process of transformation aligned with care work” (Winker 2015: 139), such a care revolution, however, is not limited to the level of action, but continues on the political and societal level: “The revolution in care institutions and practices that is already underway requires no less than a companion revolution in political and social institutions and practices” (Tronto 2013: 6 f.).
