Description: Matters of Care : Speculative Ethics in More Than Human Worlds, Paperback by De La Bellacasa, María Puig, ISBN 1517900654, ISBN-13 9781517900656, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The author examines the significance of care for thinking and living in human and nonhuman worlds from a feminist and ethics perspective. She addresses the role of knowledge politics in technoscience, alternative ways of knowing, and care in this context, through readings of Bruno Latour's and Donna Haraway's work, to understand what caring knowledge politics could mean in more than human worlds and the politics and agency of things in science and technology studies, what it would mean to think of matters of fact and socio-technical assemblages as matters of care, and how to care about the way things are constructed, presented, and studied, as well as how thought can contribute to caring thinking in living with other than humans and viewing caring thinking and knowing through the metaphor of touch. In the second part, she explores care issues in relation to nature, focusing on the practices of the permaculture movement and the transformation of human-soil relations around the idea of soil as living.
