Human geography has experienced a burgeoning interest in care Despite this, the more radical potentials of thinking with, and through, care remain largely unexplored In this paper, we critically examine one such potential, asking how care might facilitate a substantial rethinking of practices of research and analysis within human geography We argue that care does not simply name practices of social reproduction or emotional attachment, but is a distinct mode of ethics, both visible in the social world and capable of informing academic practice We ask what it means to recognise everyday accounts as acts of care, and to analyse these same accounts through an ethic of care where knowledge, action, relating to others, and the shaping of ethical commitment are inextricably intertwined While, typically, everyday accounts are seen as about some sort of underlying meaning or dynamic, we suggest that such accounts need to be understood as parts of efforts to navigate and re-make social worlds We unfold our argument by first tracing how care has been understood and analysed within human geography as a shifting and situated social practice Building on, but moving beyond, such approaches, we examine social worlds as ?matters of care?, where everyday understandings, and the potential for action and ethical commitment are not only continually negotiated, but are staunchly kept open to new possibilities Through the close reading of extracts from in-depth interviews with first-time parents in the city of Oxford, UK, we illustrate how care offers a committed practice of knowing and relating within research We argue this approach provides new ways of thinking about geographical research, where primary research, analysis and scholarly narratives are all implicated in the remaking of everyday worlds which, in turn, reveal a new terrain of political potentiality

人文地理学中的关怀

人文地理学对护理的兴趣日益浓厚 尽管如此,通过护理进行思考的更激进的潜力在很大程度上仍未被探索在本文中,我们批判性地研究了一种这样的潜力,询问护理如何促进对研究实践的实质性重新思考人文地理学中的分析和分析 我们认为,关怀不仅仅是指社会再生产或情感依恋的实践,而是一种独特的伦理模式,既在社会世界中可见,又能够为学术实践提供信息我们询问识别日常账户意味着什么作为关怀行为,并通过关怀伦理来分析这些相同的描述,其中知识、行动、与他人的关系以及道德承诺的塑造密不可分,而通常,日常记述被视为某种潜在的意义或动态,我们建议这些记述需要被理解为导航和重塑社会世界的努力的一部分我们通过首先追踪如何理解和分析护理来展开我们的论点人文地理学作为一种不断变化的、情境化的社会实践 基于并超越这些方法,我们将社会世界视为“关心的问题”,在那里日常理解、行动的潜力和道德承诺不仅不断协商,而且坚定地对新的可能性保持开放 通过仔细阅读对英国牛津市初为人父母的深入访谈的摘录,我们说明了关怀如何在研究中提供了一种了解和关联的坚定实践我们认为这种方法提供了关于地理研究的新思维方式,其中初级研究、分析和学术叙述都涉及日常生活世界的改造,反过来又揭示政治潜力的新领域
