Fannie Sosa
Pleasure Against The Machine, Pleasure is Power
Pleasurably obtaining knowledge, fabricating it, and redistributing it, seems to be at the core of an intersectional understanding where knowledges, power and pleasures and pain are interrelated.

17. November 2021, 18h, via Zoom
Riikka Prattes
Care in the Service of Whiteness
Interrogating the underbelly of care, Prattes discusses historical cases of uplift and contemporary integration measures of marginalized folks as cases of “inclusive subordination” that are shaped by coloniality and embedded in productivist thinking.

Sophie Lewis
Beyond the (private nuclear) family, and the for-profit care industry, too
Even as “family values” intensified, the importance of care workers became clearer than ever during Covid. However, the for-profit care industry is no antidote to the private nuclear household. In this talk, Sophie Lewis revives more utopian horizons.

Migrantisch, weiblich, überausgebeutet und systemrelevant – Die Organisierung von 24h Betreuer*innen
Mehr als 60.000 24h Personenbetreuer*innen arbeiten in Österreich. Als Scheinselbstständigen fehlt es ihnen an sozialer Absicherung und effizienten Interessenvertretungen. Die Interessengemeinschaft der 24-Stunden-Betreuer*innen versucht darauf Antworten zu geben!

6. April 2022, 18h, Auditorium
Birge Krondorfer
Care-Arbeit ist keine Freiheit.
Für die Philosophin Hannah Arendt ist Freiheit gerade nicht mit (Sorge-)Arbeit zu verbinden. Sie differenziert strikt zwischen privaten/sozialen und politischen Angelegenheiten. Im feministischen Kontext ergibt dies eine unausgelotete Spannung

11. Mai 2022, 18h, Auditorium
Johanna Braun
Caring for Change: Performing Witchcraft Activism

Johanna Hedva
Why It's Taking So Long (Notes on Disability Justice)
Care is always a deficit, always insolvent. This is because the body, by definition, is a thing that needs support; it needs food, rest, sleep, shelter, care. And what about redefining the body as a thing that needs, full stop because what else would support be?
