Resumen
This article presents some results of “CUIDAR; study on times, forms,
and spaces of care at home during the pandemic,” a research
project that explored how the pandemic and the subsequent
policies implemented by the Chilean government transformed
and disrupted the spatialities, temporalities, and practices of care
within the households. To do so, we designed a web survey that
draws inspiration from care theories emerging from the field of
Science and Technology Studies or STS. Such an approach
allowed thinking about care as a more-than-human affair that
goes beyond a particular moral stance and corresponds more
with a doing anchored in the entanglements of human and nonhuman actors. Data gathered revealed the appearance of new
actors while stressing that care is much too relevant and complex
to only rest upon specific household members – namely women
– who are left to their own devices since policies implemented
seem to be unable to support them in the tasks of caring for
themselves and others.
