Abstract

Cuidado, cuidando, cuidadora. Palavras carregadas, contestadas. Ainda assim, tão comuns na vida cotidiana, é como se o cuidado fosse natural, para além de alguma expertise ou conhecimento particular. A maioria de nós precisa do cuidado, sente o cuidado, é cuidada ou encontra o cuidado em uma ou outra forma. O cuidado é onipresente, inclusive através dos efeitos da sua ausência. Como um sentimento de falta que emana dos efeitos da negligência, ele passa dentro, através, por todas as coisas. Sua falta desfaz, permite que se desemaranhe. Cuidar pode nos fazer sentir bem; também pode nos fazer sentir péssimas. O cuidado pode fazer o bem; também pode oprimir. Seu caráter essencial para os seres humanos e os inúmeros seres vivos faz com que todas sejam suscetíveis a ceder a esse controle. Mas o que é o cuidado? É um afeto? Uma obrigação moral? Trabalho? Um fardo? Uma alegria? Algo que podemos aprender ou praticar? Algo que simplesmente fazemos? Cuidado significa todas essas coisas e coisas diferentes para pessoas diferentes, em situações diferentes. Assim, embora as formas de cuidado possam ser identificadas, pesquisadas e compreendidas concreta e empiricamente, o cuidado permanece ambivalente em seu significado e ontologia.
