Care & Resilience : Bioethics, Technologies, Forms of life
After a 'rebirth' in France at the turn of the 2000s, the notion of care has undergone significant development over the last twenty years, spreading across all the disciplines of the humanities and social sciences, and even beyond. However, the international situation seems to be moving in the direction of a backlash calling into question the values and practices of care. So much so that it is urgent to scrutinize the conditions under which care can be resilient.
Are care and resilience metonyms? Certainly, if we refer to Tronto and Fischer's now classic definition, according to which care can be considered as "a generic activity that includes everything we do to maintain, perpetuate and repair our 'world', so that we can live in it as well as possible. This world includes our bodies, our selves and our environment, all of which we seek to interweave into a complex web of life support". So is talking about the resilience of care redundant, or do the two notions complement each other?
While the notion of resilience does indeed include three important dimensions of care, namely 'maintaining, perpetuating and repairing', we can nevertheless suggest that the family resemblance of these two notions also engenders a fruitful complementary dynamic which makes it possible to go beyond and complete the trio traditionally used to describe care.
The notion of resilience incorporates not only a psychological dimension, made fashionable by the self-care literature, but also its physical, IT and ecological dimensions. In addition to its psychological dimension, the notion of resilience evokes a physical value, the resistance of a metal to shock, an IT dimension, the resistance of a system to a breakdown and an ecological dimension, the capacity of an ecosystem to reach equilibrium after a shock or breakdown. It can also be criticized for its physicalist tone, which precisely denies the ways in which resilience is built up in humans.
How and why should we talk about the resilience of care? How can care resist the current attacks, its devaluation by the political context, and be a tool of resistance? And how can resilience be created through care?
This international and interdisciplinary conference will focus on this threefold question on 3rd and 4th July at the Sorbonne, examining the bioethical and technical aspects of care and looking at the forms of life that take place within it.
The event is free but registration is necessary at https://evento.univ-paris1.fr/survey/colloque-care-et-res...-57qolsz5 before July 1st.
This conference is organized by Vanessa Nurock.
With the support of MIRACLE ERAPERMED (Grant n. ERP-2021-23680708), the UNESCO EVA Chair, UFR de Philosophie Paris 1, ISJPS (Institut des sciences juridique et philosophique de la Sorbonne, UMR8103 CNRS Paris 1) and CRHI.
