Abstract
This paper sets out a theoretical agenda for Cultural Landscapes of Care. It highlights the importance of engaging the cultural vectors within different ‘care-ful geographies’, in order to highlight the role of culture as both a lens of knowing a meaningful way of life, and a critical hermeneutic. Through revisiting discussions around everyday practices of care, both in this journal and elsewhere, we outline a research agenda that re-engages culture with inquiries into the relations between place and care, including spatialities of care, ethics and justice. We call for a shift to thinking with culture and its moral dimensions in order to make sense of the tensions, ambiguities and boundaries of care marked by austerity, neoliberalism and globalisation. We therefore coin the term ‘cultural landscapes of care’ to advance an agenda that is contextually and culturally sensitive, and committed to understanding what good care means in diverse trans-local contexts. Gathering together the papers in this collection, we show how culture ‘filters’ through meaningful everyday care practices. We argue for an understanding of culture as a toolkit and a condition for ethical encounters of care. Thus, we translate situated examples of caring experiences into a global standpoint of care-ful geography.
