Pensées soignées

“The tragedy,” James Baldwin once observed regarding the condition of the world, “is that most of the people who say they care about it do not care. What they care about is their safety and their profits.” Since Baldwin, many artists and writers have beckoned for more attentive, expansive, and sensitive considerations of social care—yet dominant capitalist culture has ensured that security and accumulation are ever more stifling and destructive. Pensées soignées, a new series of works-in-translation, relays how intellectuals and activists in the non-Anglophone world are thinking about care and caring about thought, with the aim of proliferating new concepts, models, and weapons to confront and escape the tragedies of this diminished, imperiling historical moment.
