The tasks of sustaining life have traditionally been the responsibility of women and migrant communities, relegated to invisibility and contempt. Peripheral neighborhoods are home to the workforce that has been in charge of caring for the bodies and lives of the dominant classes.
Care work occurs through a series of aesthetic and cultural practices that, in turn, are nested in a structure of social relations of a political nature. That is why there is also a reactionary ethic of care that has supported patriarchy and exploitation. For this reason, imagining forms of care from an eco-feminist position is also a way of imagining social alternatives.
