More about the book
The book explores the evolving concept of care within social and cultural sciences, highlighting its increasing complexity and imprecision. It examines the intersections of care with work, gender, ethnicity, affect, and mobility regimes. By adopting an anthropological perspective, the authors, Alber and Drotbohm, propose that understanding care in relation to work, kinship, and the life-course can clarify the various activities associated with care, enriching both empirical and conceptual discussions in this expanding field of literature.
