"We live in a world where captains get arrested for saving people’s lives on
the sea; where a person downloading scientific articles faces 35 years in jail;
where people risk charges for bringing contraceptives to those who otherwise
couldn’t get them. Folks are getting in trouble for giving food to the poor,
medicine to the sick, water to the thirsty, shelter to the homeless. And yet
our heroines care and disobey. They are pirates.
Pirate Care is a research process - primarily based in the transnational
European space - that maps the increasingly present forms of activism at the
intersection of “care” and “piracy”, which in new and interesting ways are
trying to intervene in one of the most important challenges of our time, that
is, the ‘crisis of care’ in all its multiple and interconnected dimensions.
These practices are experimenting with self-organisation, alternative
approaches to social reproduction and the commoning of tools, technologies and
knowledges. Often they act disobediently in expressed non-compliance with laws,
regulations and executive orders that ciriminalise the duty of care by imposing
exclusions along the lines of class, gender, race or territory. They are not
shying risk of persecution in providing unconditional solidarity to those who
are the most exploited, discriminated against and condemned to the status of
disposable populations.
The Pirate Care Syllabus we present here for the first time is a tool for
supporting and activating collective processes of learning from these
practices. We encourage everyone to freely use this syllabus to learn and
organise processes of learning and to freely adapt, rewrite and expand it to
reflect their own experience and serve their own pedagogies."
