My research places the burgeoning critical theorisations around ethics and aesthetics of care in dialogue with socio-political protest movements, a context within which the relevance of caretaking is yet to be studied. It engages with select women-led social movements in India to examine the extent to which care played a principal role, both as a representative human practice as well as a form of political expression, to effect a radical re-imagination of non-violent protest organising and performance. It draws on the expanding body of work that connects the feminist materialist tradition of critical thinking on care with transformative ethics, politics and justice. Building on the phenomenology of care developed by prominent feminist care ethicists like Virginia Held, Sara Ruddick and Nel Noddings, my project argues that the values and practice of care existing within the domestic space can illuminate political interactions of disenfranchised communities with the State.
