Introduction
This seminar was restricted, interdisciplinary and prospective in nature and had as its central question the very notion of “Thinking the Future“, in the form of care: what this implies, or may imply, from a social, cultural or political point of view.
The aim was to rethink the categories of private and public or, in yet another way, to think of another economy marked in its formulation by dwelling (in the broad sense of caring for and inhabiting the Earth) and by the intimate relationship of women with development, which implies other models of society.
