Introducing the Contexts of a Moral and Political Theory of Care
No full textThis chapter introduces the historical and conceptual contexts of a moral and political theory of care. One of the main stories about care ethics is that it began in moral psychology with Carol Gilligan 1982, then it slowly made its way into the realm of theorising about the social and political and engaged in debates in political theory only in the 1990s. This chapter offers a different story about care ethics by demonstrating that the social and political dimension of care was a focus of care ethics from the outset and received an explicit attention of care ethicists as early as about the mid-1980s. The chapter advocates moving beyond the schematism of the distinction of care ethics’ two generations and rethinking the complex development of care ethics with a special focus on the prominent role of a political concept of care. Finally, the chapter discusses the recent developments in a political theory of care and highlights its aspects that are most relevant to contemporary political and societal issues, such as the rise of neo-populist politics and the destructive effects of global neoliberalism
Caring for ourselves? Self-care and neoliberalism
No full textCaring for ourselves forms part of our species activity, but how we think about and do this, like all other aspects of care, are political as well as personal matters. Over recent years the concept of ‘self-care' has been mobilized by policy makers and governments in the deepening of neoliberal objectives to dismantle public welfare resources and shift responsibility for care onto individual citizens. Yet ideas about self-care have a longer and wider history as part of collective struggles - for recognition of the experiences of disabled people, of women's health movements challenging medical hierarchies and in contexts of community-led peer support and self-help groups. This chapter problematizes the concept of self-care and the implications of its co-option into neo-liberal objectives of enforcing individual responsibilities. It argues that an alternative articulation of self-care based in care ethics is vital if we are to secure government responsibility for the care and welfare of citizens

As I walked out one morning,
To take the morning air,
Roily true, true dum, true roily day,
As I walked out one morning,
To take the morning air,
I heard a mother talking,
To her daughter to her fair,
Roily true, true dum, true roily day.
You ain't a gonna marry,
You know you are too young,
Roily true, true dum, true roily day,
You ain't a gonna marry,
You know you are too young,
You ain't a gonna marry,
Until you hold your flattering tongue,
Roily true, true dum, true roily day.
The doctors and lawyers,
And boys for to plow,
Roily true dum, true dum, true roily day,
The doctors and lawyers,
And boys for to plow,
They all want a marry,
The fits come on me now,
Roily true dum, true dum, true roily day.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation

Old Charley
It was last Sunday morning so pleasant to my mind,
I saddled up old Charley not meaning any harm;
I'se riding along just me and my horse,
The first time I knew old Charley could talk.
I switched him o'er the head so swiftly on my reins,
He said, "Yo u needn't abuse me because you are a man,
For I intend to carry you as far as I can.
It's all day and all night as in the hitch rack I stand,
When you're in a saloon a takin' of your dram,
When one glass is empty you call for some more.
You never think poor Charley is standing at the door.
"When you are sober it's very well I know,
You feed mo a plenty and ride me very slow,
But when you are drunk you holler and you squall,
You treat me like a damn fool and feed me not at all.
. . . and also some corn,
And when I go to warm my frozen hands and feet,
I'll feed you all the oats you are ready for to eat.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation

The Drunkard's Lone Child
On this cold earth so sadly I roam,
I have no parents no friends and no home,
No one to love me,no one would cry,
Even if poor little Bessie should die.
And all our trials and troubles begun,
Mother grew paler and wept ever day,
While me and baby is too hungry to play.
Mother oh Mother why you leave me alone,
I have no parents no friends and no home,
No one to love me no one would cry,
Even if poor little Bessie should die.
Mother grew paler till one summer night,
We found her cold face was all silent and white,
While they were weeping and crying I said,
"Father's a drunkard and Mother is dead."
Mother oh Mother why you leave me alone,
I have no parents no friend and no home,
No one to love me no one would cry,
Even if poor little Bessie should die.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
