Both Gender and Aging Studies have long been concerned with the broad field of care practices in history and the present. Recently, approaches from care ethics in particular have triggered new insights by newly accentuating the significance of topics such as corporeality, responsibility, and empathy in care relationships in private and public contexts and underlining their socio-cultural and democratic-political relevance.
In this context, care ethics is linked to feminist research traditions: As is well known, these examine unpaid/paid work, gendered concepts of state and private care, or concrete framework conditions of reproductive work in specific situations, their actors, institutions, and intersectionally structured power relations. At the same time, the synopsis of the aforementioned lines of tradition also reveals areas of tension that need to be precisely identified. And also the current debates of care ethics have to be reflected on implications relevant to age(n)science and gender theory as well as on historical depth dimensions.
The workshop will open with a keynote by Helen Kohlen (Vallendar), offer statements on the second day, and focus on a discursive format.
