- 요약Many Black feminists have long advocated for greater attention to health, healing, and care within social movements. Following this Black feminist tradition, my dissertation Surviving Social Movements: Race, Health, and Repertoires of Care in Social Justice Activism argues that activist wellbeing is a key factor in ensuring movement survival for the long run. I conducted in-depth interviews and surveys with a combined 140 activists, movement healers, and leftists with disabilities participating in U.S. social movements. I focus in part on Healing Justice, a "meta-movement" that integrates activist care into progressive political strategy and was conceived of by Black and Brown queer femme organizers. To complement the interviews, I conducted digital archival analysis on texts such as a 120+ episode national Healing Justice podcast archive. These data reveal three types of care work that reproduce and sustain activist labor: the immediate-term survival care (e.g. first aid during protests); transformative care (e.g. providing physical and psychic resources that help people navigate movement work more effectively); inclusive caring-about (e.g. creating access to movement participation for potential activists with nonnormative bodies and minds). Influenced by Charles Tilly's well-known "repertoires of contention" concept, I develop a Black feminist theory of care for political actors by synthesizing these three modes of care and their attendant hazards into what I call the "repertoires of care" framework. Moving away from often patriarchal and dismissive critiques of care in political spaces, the repertoires of care framework will allow analysts to systematically and dialectically go behind the scenes of outward-facing movement contention in order to understand the inward-facing mechanisms of activist survival.Grounded in the legacy of Audre Lorde, Toni Cade Bambara, and other care-conscious Black feminists, I argue that practicing care work within movements not only helps reproduce movement labor in service of movement longevity, but that practicing care can also help recreate political subjectivities that could sustain and thrive in a post-violence world. In terms of what I call "re-subjectification," doing the work of care can be more than prefigurative politics or lifestyle politics. By cultivating more "care-full" subjectivities among activists, politicized care work actually changes habits and dispositions among activists, making them more capable of giving and receiving care, thus embodying the very social changes they wish to create, particularly changing from force-based to care-based societies.
