The Feminist Political Economy of the Atypical (Intersectional Feminist Praxis of Health Justice and Care Politics for Atypical Health Conditions in Post Pandemic Times of Crisis) by Senka Anastasova

The paper is oriented toward the investigation of the feminist political economy of health justic... more The paper is oriented toward the investigation of the feminist political economy of health justice and feminist praxis related basic human rights of people with rare/ atypical health conditions. I argue first the concept of 'atypical health politics' as affected by 1) the wild economy of capitalism and 2) gendered labor (specifically in North Macedonia, as a case, a country that has been a part of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, now a part of Southern East Europe, comparable to the context of health injustice in California, USA). I am interested in the political theory of the 'atypical body' put on a strike and movements against health injustice in times of crisis, as a radical and revolutionary act against capitalism-to survive and to get better. Inspired by the social reproduction theory of Lise Vogel, Nancy Fraser, and Ellen Meiksins Wood I shall develop intersectional feminist politics of health structural injustice against profit in post-Covid-19 times, as a critique of capital accumulation, profit maximization, related to social and medical safety, households, women's unpaid reproductive labor, exploitation, oppression, low labor cost. Through intersectional feminist politics, I shall rethink the concepts of power, class, and intimate care labor, building intersectional feminist economies of caring as alternatives against health injustices. Some lines I shall open would be related torture practices toward people with atypical conditions/ rare diseases, no long-term sustainable developed economic care programmes, no responsibility for public health, slow process for medical administration, no adaptive health care services, ruined public health system associated with reinforced disparities in general health, need for gendered economic protection of the health care workers and nurses as a basic right in new directions for intersectional economics feminist praxis today.
