Mapping the Field of Care

Abstract

The text is a review of “Dimensions of Care: In-between Personal Experience, Social Regulations and Health Activism”, a collective volume introducing a variety of perspectives on caregiving in family and institutional contexts, related policies and regulations, on the one hand, and personal experiences, on the other. The value of this collective work lies in foregrounding and mapping out the vast, di-verse and unexplored field of care. Moving beyond mono-dimensional biomedical approaches, the authors offer a wealth of conceptual and practical insights that will inspire future work.
