The text explores the arenas of conflict surrounding care in rest homes. Technical teams, carers and elderly dependents constitute a specific configuration of life in these institutions. Here I analyse the way in which Pascale Molinier approaches the topic in her article "Intersectionality, care and feminism," providing a counterpoint through my research on immigrant women who care for the elderly in Italy and domestic work in Brazil.Downloads
