Kontrapunkt presents: A lecture on the current practices and potentials of socialised care that can be the basis for a democracy in the present.

The present, which undoubtedly presents us with extreme conditions of precarity in work and life, also carries and opens a field in which a shared precariousness in mutual dependency can be preserved. A new conception of precariousness is based on the queer/black and ultimately bad debt, a debt to mutual dependency, in terms of endlessly indebted relations of care. Against the masculine, security inducing and future-driven dept that establishes fixed individualized subjectivities, one that does not exploit labour, but social relations and life, and which is based on the relationship borrower-lender, Isabell invokes queer debt as a means of dispersion of care and politics in the present.
