Centering the Dialogicity of Care: A posthuman exploration of the politics of liveability in alternative organizing
从女性主义后人类视角研究替代组织中的宜居性政治，通过芬兰公共桑拿的田野调查，揭示身体、情感、物质等之间的“呼唤与回应”如何塑造组织中的关怀对话，影响需求识别和资源分配。
This study explores the politics of liveability in alternative organizing from a feminist posthuman approach to care. Drawing on an affective ethnographic engagement with a communal sauna in Finland, we illustrate how ‘responses’ to ‘calls’ between bodies, affects, artifacts, texts, norms, and living matter influence organizing by both nurturing and troubling interdependencies between humans and non-humans. We emphasize how these patterns of ‘call-and-response’ reflect the inherent dialogicity of care, which performatively shapes how needs and interests are recognized, and how resources and responsibilities are distributed. We highlight how this perspective enables us to foreground the potential messiness of organizational trajectories, showing how multiple, and at times conflicting, caring orientations emerge and co-exist. We conclude by reflecting on the politics of liveability in more-than-human worlds, with particular attention to the distribution of power and the enactment of voice in alternative organizing.
