Ideal for readers interested in feminist theory, cultural studies, pandemic responses, and social justice in education and reference contexts.

A feminist mapping of the unprecedented crisis of care under pandemic conditions which shares ideas for a new global international care order.

Description

“We must declare war on the virus,” stated UN chief António Guterres on 13 March 2020, just two days after the WHO had characterised the outbreak of the novel Covid-19 virus as a pandemic.

Living with an Infected Planet by Elke Krasny introduces feminist worry in order then to develop a feminist cultural theory on pandemic frontline ontologies, which give rise to militarised care essentialism and forced heroism.

Feminist hope is gained through the attentive reading of feminist recovery plans and their novel care feminism, with the latter's insistence that recovery from patriarchy is possible.
