Demokratische Selbstsorge?
Democracy is treated here not merely as an institutional arrangement but as the condition under which care and self-care can become socially possible. By putting Foucault-adjacent ideas of Selbstsorge into conversation with democratic life, the essay reframes politics as the infrastructure of attention, dependency, and repair.
A conceptually strong German-language piece that turns a fashionable ethic of care into a demanding theory of political form.
