Thesis Title
Transforming feminist care ethics: Tracing (un)memorable mother-daughter relations through psychoanalytic inquiry

Read article at Massey Research Online:

Ms Rogerson鈥檚 research inquired into the ways in which end-of-life care of mothers by their daughters is constrained by contemporary discourse about responsible caregiving. This discourse fails to take account of the character of mother-daughter relations and makes it difficult for some daughter-caregivers to articulate their experiences beyond a combination of exhaustion and grief that may be interpreted as a hysterical symptom and treated as disordered. Taking a genealogical approach to contemporary psychoanalytic literature on child development, care and caring, and locating her inquiry within the traditions of feminist engagement with the ethics of care, she provides a theoretically rich and contextually sensitive analysis of the problematics of remembering and articulating mother-daughter relations. Ms Rogerson鈥檚 study provides a re-reading of feminist care ethics and proposes new possibilities for transforming discourse to inclusively articulate care in the context of the diversity of women鈥檚 relations with women, and daughters鈥� relations with their mothers.
