About the Research Project
My three-year Marie Skłodowska-Curie Project “Choreographies of Vulnerability: Towards a New Public Ethics of Care” (ChoreoCare), funded by the European Commission under thegrant agreement no. 101029336, aims at investigating the possibility of a politics of care based, on the one hand, on the demand for institutionally recognized social infrastructures of care, and, on the other hand, on collective practices – that I call choreographies of vulnerability – able to transform the socio-political context. For a politics of care to be truly inaugural, it must foster narrations and performances that operate at the intersection with the social infrastructures of care, thus transforming the socio-political context in which it acts.
