These products are interpreted as a particular form of the financialization of households and intimate relationships. However, while the bulk of research into this phenomenon has emphasized the aspect of the penetration of such relationships by financial logics, the article approaches these products as examples of the constitution of financial products based on moral considerations in the field of intimate (especially: intergenerational) provision and care. Thus, morality and moral communication in intimate relationships appear as a condition for the constitution of financial rationalities, logic, and flows. Conversely, the purchase of financialized insurance products can be reconstructed as reinforcing moralized forms of communication, because the sheer possibility of making financial provision by means of a definitive conclusion of a contract makes scenarios of social finality - from unresponsiveness to death - the subject of negotiations between related parties. Thus it is the constitution of financial logics in terms of morality that gives financial capitalism, by way of providing security, a significant impulse of legitimacy.","PeriodicalId":30203,"journal":{"name":"Behemoth a Journal on Civilisation","volume":"13 1","pages":"81-98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43835922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, collective and grassroots practices of radical care have gained meaning as non-state strategies for enduring an unequal and insecure world. Through the lens of welfare state theory, this paper explores both the emancipatory potentials as well as the structural limits and pitfalls of radical care. Its focus lies in contemporary socio-material articulations of communities of care/‘care-citizenship’ and their paradoxical relations with the welfare state. This paper seeks to avoid the reductive dichotomy of communities of care vs. the state that it identifies in the approach taken by many protagonists as well as critics of radical care. To this end, it conceptualizes a paradoxical politics of care-citizenship that is not radically opposed to but rather is engaged in a strategic tension with state institutions, a means of contributing to a democratic and solidary renewal of the welfare state from below.","PeriodicalId":30203,"journal":{"name":"Behemoth a Journal on Civilisation","volume":"13 1","pages":"99-120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48767959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Global Health Security’s occupation with preparing health systems for an appropriate emergency response is accompanied by the problem of allocating responsibility for this preparedness capacity buildup. The paper argues that a universalist narrative of globally shared vulnerability to infectious disease threats drives Global Health Security as a global governance programme. It is shown how this narrative securitizes existing vulnerabilities in health infrastructures and how Global Health Security thereby functions as a reflexivization of former infrastructural adjustment programmes, which co-constituted these vulnerabilites in the first place. Against the backdrop of the problematic emergency response to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the concept of response-ability – developed in neo-materialist and posthumanist feminism – helps to contour the ambivalences of Global Health Security’s care. While certain infrastructural vulnerabilities and provisional needs are being addressed, the caring security employed in Global Health fails to respond to other, obvious infrastructural vulnerabilities.","PeriodicalId":30203,"journal":{"name":"Behemoth a Journal on Civilisation","volume":"13 1","pages":"40-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45065385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on the works of Peter Sloterdijk, the article understands the Vertical Farm as a technology of ecological care that aims to contain the environmental side effects of agriculture while further increasing food production. Instead of growing food outdoor in the field, technologies such as hydroponics or LED lighting are being used to create artificial ecosystems in closed environments and integrate them into the urban spaces. The paper argues that the logic of ecological care enshrined in the Vertical Farm follows a logic of co-immunization by drawing a strong boundary between crop production spaces and the environment, thus preventing uncontrolled material flows between them.","PeriodicalId":30203,"journal":{"name":"Behemoth a Journal on Civilisation","volume":"13 1","pages":"61-80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49514994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Greek and Roman antiquity, securitas – literally ‚carefree’ – designated a state of inner peace. With the rise of Christianity, pastoral power introduced a new regime of securing care. The pastoral care for the soul is supposed to secure salvation, whereas Christian Caritas established new forms of care for those in need (Fursorge). Modern biopolitical dispositives of security continued this tradition of care for others with the means of modern welfarism. Security dispositives organized new forms of social care (Sozialfursorge) and became increasingly concerned with the security of supply (Versorgungssicherheit) of vital infrastructural services. Since the second half of the twentieth century, a new form of care for the environment has emerged. The precautionary principle (Vorsorgeprinzip) seeks to prevent irreversible environmental change, whereas new environmental disposal and remediation practices (Entsorgung) cope with the residuals of industrial modernity. The genealogy shows the wide variety and historical flexibility of forms of security care. Conceptually the paper argues that, in contrast to sovereign and statist security technologies like the police and the military, securing care represents a positive, yet nevertheless problematic form of security. This provides new insights for a critique of security.","PeriodicalId":30203,"journal":{"name":"Behemoth a Journal on Civilisation","volume":"13 1","pages":"16-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48608794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
