| Sumario: | The article argues that care is of particular interest to economic anthropology, as it incorporates seemingly contradictory tendencies: to remain in the family sphere, outside of labor/capital relations and, on the other hand, to be in the process of commodification and to be constructed as a social and political question. Both tendencies are located in turn in the tension between the mechanisms of production and social reproduction. The article deals with the issue of care as a right and, therefore, as an issue of political scope. Starting from the observation that care falls disproportionately on women and families, it suggests the need for its equitable redistribution between family, state and community, and between women and men, in order to advance towards its democratization. |
