- W170461623 abstract "ON A RAINY EVENING IN OCTOBER 2011 WE ARE SITTING IN THE GENERAL Assembly of Occupy London Stock Exchange in the courtyard of St Paul's Cathedral. It is day four of the occupation, which is congregating here under the slogan are the 99 percent. This is in solidarity with occupations and protests across the globe. Working groups have formed to deal with all the aspects of the occupation's infrastructure and livelihood--kitchen, legal team, tech team, welfare working group, Tent City University, process group, direct action group, and media team. They are reporting back from their meetings. The media team's delegate ends her daily roundup with the request for stories of acts of kindness to tell the press: Occupy is a positive movement that may be determined and confrontational, but is nonetheless ethical and caring. The political battle over the right of the occupation to stay at St Paul's has prompted occupiers to ask the church, would Jesus do? This question has been painted in big letters on a banner that faces outward to the main road. In doing so, the movement puts the Church of England on the spot, holding it to account over its own purported ethical values of kindness, charity, and social justice. Many banners decry greed, violence, and injustice, instead advocating love, care, and empathy. Occupy makes an emotive plea for a different kind of world, unlike the present one founded on pillage, corruption, exploitation, and theft. Massive mobilizations by university and college students also took place in the autumn of 2010, with current and potential future students protesting that nobody cares about their access to education; in 2011, summer riots across England in many ways expressed anger by a generation (and a class) of forgotten youth. In this article, we argue that these movements, which have been interpreted as anti-austerity or anti-cuts movements, can be better understood as a response to a crisis of care. This crisis of care is precipitated by the economic crisis and the cuts being forced through by the government in the United Kingdom (UK). This crisis of care is also one of political representation: increasing numbers of people are waking up to the fact that the state-capital nexus does not care about them in the sense that it does not promote, protect, or even consider their needs or interests. We offer a political reading of the crisis of care through the lens of social conflict and its political economy. In our view, the present political-economic crisis emerged from the financial crisis and is most aptly understood as a crisis of social reproduction--a crisis in the ability of individuals and communities to reproduce their livelihoods. Not generally discussed in these terms, it is either designated as a crisis of economic growth or viewed as a moral crisis in which greedy bankers and feral youth are conjured up in equal measure. Even within protest movements that contest the injustices of austerity, there is a tendency to focus on the supposed deficiencies of human behavior and to demand regulation of various excesses so as to make the financial system less corrupt and more democratically accountable. This approach misses what is at stake. An analysis of the crisis in terms of social reproduction, we argue, allows for a political reading of the social conflicts that have erupted in the UK in the wake of the recent crisis affecting it. Our argument unfolds in four sections. In the first, we determine who is being cared for and who is not. That provides an overview of the most significant protests, movements, and social conflicts that have happened in the UK in the last two years. Next, we look at the ways in which the crisis and its conflicts are given a moral or ethical inflection, which we propose must be extended to encompass a political reading of care. In the third section, we make the case for the analytical lens of social reproduction and its political economy. …" @default.
