S01e01 Pirate Care, with Valeria Graziano & Tomislav Medak

from Lifepod · host Adam Greenfield

I talk to two members of the Pirate Care collective, Valeria Graziano and Tomislav Medak, about their book of the same name. In addition to the concept of "pirate care" itself, we discuss the historical and contemporary significance of the pirate figure, the criminalization of care, the inspiration we can take from the Four Freedoms of the free software movement, the notion of “queer kinning” and its implications for solidarity, and the need to care for all those who fall through the cracks in traditional constructions of belonging.Terms and topics mentioned:- Vagabonds book series- Cassie Thornton, The Hologram- Isabelle Fremeaux and Jay Jordan, We Are “Nature” Defending Itself- La ZAD, France- Memory of the World pirate library- Sea-Watch- Women on Waves- Freedom Flotilla- The Four Freedoms of free software- Richard Stallman- La PAH, Spain- Abdullah Öcalan, Democratic Confederalism- Chantal Mouffe- The Pirate Care SyllabusMore ways to stay connected:- You can follow Lifepod on Instagram or Adam’s personal account on Mastodon, or support the podcast on Patreon. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
