Infrastrutture ibride della cura: l’esperienza del Laboratorio di Salute Popolare di Bologna

n the context of the care crisis that characterises the current phase of capitalism, social reproduction and mutualism practices increasingly represent a field of political action for social movements. The “common” movements, particularly after the economic crisis of 2008, have reacted to the privatisation and financialisation policies of the New Public Management of neoliberal institutions. This contribution aims to propose a focus on the processes of care that take place in bottom-up care spaces, observing the role of social and health professionals. Adopting this approach, the infrastructural paradigm is not used to observe “the alternative”, being rather employed for the analysis of the interconnections and the spaces of contamination between the “inside” and the “outside” of the institutions of care, moving from the experience and the reflections developed within the Laboratorio di Salute Popolare of the Municipi Sociali of Bologna.
