{"id":2999,"count":13,"description":"Care refers to practices of tending, maintaining, and sustaining relationships\u2014between people, between people and environments, between humans and nonhumans. In landscape discourse, care is often reduced to maintenance, but it is more: it is ethical attention, responsibility, and time. Yet care is not innocent\u2014caring can also be patronizing, imposing regimes of protection that misread or override the needs of those being cared for. Social activist groups, for example, may exercise well-meaning but protectionist attitudes toward Indigenous communities or certain species, missing the point of different logics and values. Lars von Trier\u2019s Dogville (2003) stages this paradox vividly: care slips into coercion, as Grace\u2019s insistence on her notion of justice and democracy turns violent. Care can backfire, producing dependency, erasure, or cruelty masked as benevolence. Care is a principle as much as a practice: to design with awareness of who maintains, who benefits, and how spaces endure beyond the first moment of construction. But care must also remain self-critical, attentive to when \u201ccaring\u201d slips into control.","link":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/topics\/methods-mediations\/care\/","name":"Care","slug":"care","taxonomy":"topics","parent":2788,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/2999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/topics"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/2788"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/landezine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?topics=2999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
