In what way is ???care??? a matter of ???tinkering???? Rather than presenting care as a (preferably ???warm???) relation between human beings, the various contributions to the volume give the material world (usually cast as ???cold???) a prominent place in their analysis. Thus, this book does not continue to oppose care and technology, but contributes to rethinking both in such a way that they can be analysed together. Technology is not cast as a functional tool, easy to control - it is shifting, changing, surprising and adaptable. In care practices all ???things??? are (and have to be) tinkered with persistently.
