PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNG
by Kelsey Virginia DuFresne (Author)
What role do critical making, critical pedagogy and experiential inquiry play in supporting equity and justice? In considering the role of care in reimaging power, who is responsible for the care, labor, and power of ancestral and community stories, histories, and affect? Moreover, how does gender intersect with care? As seen with the capacities of cookbooks, how can systems and manners of knowing more equitably and critically enable exploration, learning, and care to reimagine power (of care, literacy, and justice) and knowledge (production, recognition, and legitimacy)?
Born out of an anti-dissertation, Care Fully: Critical Care through Making with Food performs as a cookbook, working in collaboration with food makers from Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, to explore the gendered labor of making with food, the burden and responsibility of care labor, and the capitalization and fetishized commodification of care.
