Living with an Infected Planet - Elke Krasny
CHF 39,95 inkl. MwSt

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


»We must declare war on the virus,« stated UN chief António Guterres on March 13, 2020, just two days after the WHO had characterized the outbreak of the novel Covid-19 virus as a pandemic. Elke Krasny introduces feminist worry in order then to develop a feminist cultural theory on pandemic frontline ontologies, which give rise to militarized 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.

Elke Krasny ist Professorin für Kunst und Bildung an der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien.

»The present volume provides a very coherent, and comprehensible cultural-theoretical interpretation of the Corona pandemic as a consequence and expression of the patriarchal modern-capitalist project. strongly recommended for careful reading.«

Max Preglau, AEP Informationen, 3 (2023), translated from German 20230925
