Joan C. Tronto. Caring democracy: Markets, equality, and justice

Abstract: Em Caring democracy, Joan Tronto tem como uma de suas principais preocupações afirmar e analisar a relação entre democracia e cuidado. Para a autora, os dois conceitos, embora não se confundam, mantêm uma estreita relação política, de forma que a melhora de um exige a melhora do outro: o déficit democrático está relacionado ao déficit do cuidado, e é importante que tal relação seja notada, assumida e levada a sério para que as transformações possam ser, de fato, reais e profundas. É preciso se (re)pensar então… Show more

“…In opposition, the concept of care in the democratic light is perceived as "an activity inherent to the species that includes all we can do to keep, continue and repair our world, so we can live in it the best way possible" (14) . In other words, care would be a core element of human life, relational, embedded in power disputes and not only something good (16) . According to this theory, three situations result in care inequalities (14)(15) : a -when the political difference between required care (when the person cannot do it by herself and needs help such as children, diseased individuals and elderly people) and of services (where the person can do it but decides not to do it, like chores, hygiene, cleaning) is not considered; b -when care is considered as a global merchandise where immigrants, women and black women deliver services in sub-citizenship conditions both in their countries and in those they selected to emigrate to; c -when there are dualisms between who offers and who receives care, masking the vulnerability of those providing care services.…”

“…Over-valuation of care as a solution to deep gender inequalities is insufficient to expand women's citizenship if we consider the antagonisms of power that makes up social inequalities. Tronto seems to come around to the romantic concepts of care ethics that forgets to mention how care could cope with deep structural inequalities of society modeled on complex networks and expressions of power in culture, society, economy and politics (13,16) . The only way out for those who defend themselves through care politicity is a power that should be contained by another power or counterpower strong enough to generate ruptures and innovation in social relations.…”

“…Ao valorizar o trabalho de cuidado executado por mulheres, essas teóricas ressaltam a responsabilidade do cuidar de si, do outro e do ambiente, relacionando o cuidado à representação política, às políticas públicas e à democracia. Joan Tronto, por exemplo, em Caring democracy relaciona democracia e cuidado, observando uma relação interdependente: a busca por justiça deve ser discutida a partir de um elemento central, o cuidado (Mota, 2015).…”
