Pirate Care: Acts Against the Criminalization of Solidarity: Vagabonds

Autor Valeria Graziano, Marcell Mars, Tomislav Medak
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 ian 2025
"A most nourishing and encouraging book" McKenzie Wark, author of A Hacker Manifesto and Capital is Dead
In many places worldwide, the freedom to care for one another is being attacked by the powerful, and acts of solidarity are being made illegal. In a moment of struggle defined by the rollback of the social safety net, the criminalization of migration, and the right-wing clampdown on bodily autonomy, radical networks of care are fighting back.
From volunteer rescue boats in the Mediterranean to underground labs preparing gender-affirming hormones, people are reclaiming the means to care for one another in defiance of a system that devalues and exploits the labor of care.
Against atomized despair, Pirate Care shows that fighting back isn't only about legal and legislative changes and organizing, direct action, and disobedient care.
Valeria Graziano is a cultural theorist and organizer who is researching militant practices of work refusal and repair. She co-founded the Carrotworkers Collective and Micropolitics Research Group. Marcell Mars is an advanced internet user. Tomislav Medak is a commons and disability activist and an independent researcher interested in technologies and environmental crisis. Mars and Medak are founding members of Multimedia Institute/Mama and custodians of the Memory of the World shadow library.
The authors are the convenors of the Pirate Care project.

Recenzii

'Putting the words pirate and care together already produces a spark of excitement, asking us to imagine how we are going to make the world together. A world in which what are often separate practices, and languages about practices, can come together. Where abolition, hacking, the commons, queerness and repair are connected. Where as good feminists we concern ourselves with the work and play that sustains us, in and against the empires of extraction. A most nourishing and encouraging little book'
McKenzie Wark, author of A Hacker Manifesto and Capital is Dead
'In times of rampant institutionalized cruelty and neglect, and as we witness the increasing commodification, weaponization and criminalization of care, this inspiring and stimulating collection celebrates care’s uncompromising radicality – from anonymous everyday solidarity to bold acts of resistance in the face of ruthless repression. Pirate Care is a breath of fiery courage against the suffocation of hope'
María Puig de la Bellacasa, author of Matters of Care: Speculative Ethics in More Than Human Worlds
