With my work, I provide a showcase for a theme that has no place in the public sphere and yet affects everyone. When I write about a “situation,” I do so in the sense of Donna Haraway, who describes situated knowledge as patterns given back and forth, enabling a new shared narrative to arise (Haraway 1995: 73-97). To conclude with Haraway: the construction of the situation is about nothing less than a localizable, better representation of the world (ibid.: 90). The everyday view of the dichotomy between production and reproduction changes. In this way, my work makes an important contribution to making the necessity of a shared stage visible. I enable the creation of new knowledge narratives and the linking of them with each other to publicly discuss reproductive work. In this way, precarious bodies can assemble.
