CARE IN PRACTICE VERKÖRPERUNGEN MATTEREALITIE...

In what way is »care« a matter of »tinkering«? Rather than presenting care as a (preferably
»warm«) relation between human beings  the various contributions to the volume give the
material world (usually cast as »cold«) a prominent place in their analysis. Thus  this book
does not continue to oppose care and technology  but contributes to rethinking both in such a
way that they can be analysed together. Technology is not cast as a functional tool  easy to
control - it is shifting  changing  surprising and adaptable. In care practices all »things«
are (and have to be) tinkered with persistently. Knowledge is fluid  too. Rather than a set of
general rules  the knowledges (in the plural) relevant to care practices are as adaptable and
in need of adaptation as the technologies  the bodies  the people  and the daily lives
involved.
