The third session of the Care & Democracy Seminar Series will host Barbara Formis (Paris I, Panth茅on-Sorbonne) for a talk on "Repair, Redo, Maintain: Performance Art and Practice of Care".
The Care & Democracy Seminar Series explores how the relational dimensions of care, traditionally centered on dependency and moral responsibility, can deepen our understanding of democratic practices. By examining care as a normative and political framework, the seminars interrogate how care ethics challenges conventional liberal-democratic ideals, reshaping conceptions of citizenship, power, and social cohesion. Speakers include: Sandra Laugier (Universit茅 Paris 1, Panth茅on-Sorbonne), Patricia Paperman (Paris 8), Carol Gilligan (NYU), Fabienne Brug茅re (Paris 8), Barbara Formis (Universit茅 Paris 1, Panth茅on-Sorbonne), Valentina Moro (Stony Brook University), and Zona Zari膰 (AUP).
