Ecological Care in Practice
摘要
In the effort to explore what would be the content of ecological practice in communities of everyday life where reciprocal dependence is acknowledged, this brief look at the rediscovery of vulnerability and care in feminist literature and MacIntyre seems to open a path to reach a conceptualization more anchored in the lived perspective and attachment of situated agents than those from some abstract dominant approaches in political theory. Starting from the latter and my own ethnographic fieldwork, in this chapter I aim to start to outline a notion of ecological care practice, understood as the core content of what could be called an ecological way of life in everydayness. Through the lens of a young family of fishermen and divers, I approach the field seeking for some relevant elements that could feed such a conceptual construction.
