The panel has its focus on the in-between: on our orientations towards/to/from others as well as the relations of care in which we stand or want to stand in. How do artworks and technological developments determine and change our view of care work? What role do narratives representing alternative forms of relationships play in changing our actual understanding of them (e. g., Sophie Lewis' “Abolish the Family”)? How can relationships and orientations not only be understood as objects of critique, but themselves become effective as critique? To what extent can they be understood not only as guided by normative structures, but also as a nucleus of their change or suspension? How is the conflictual nature of care work to be understood?
