| Title | Embodied Care: A Critique of Heteronormative and Anthropocentric Interpretations of the Ethics of Care |
| Summary | In this thesis I analyzed works on the ethics of care (Carol Gilligan, Nel Noddings), showing how their discourse is intrinsecally heteronormative and anthropocentric. For some subjects, both human and non-human, that do not adjust to a (hetero)normative interpretation of the human, care and care ethics remains foreclosed. I argued that questions on heteronormativity and anthropocentrism are interconnected, and proposed an alternative understanding of embodied care ethics based on Braidotti's and Butler's reflections. |
