Notes on Care, Risk & Knowledge

Research, fragments and images from Brazil

Historical research, poems and images meet in a book about care, risk and knowledge. How do people and institutions carry on when protocols can no longer contain experience?

Research

Archives, oral history and Brazilian health institutions open questions about memory, uncertainty and public responsibility.

Writing

Poems, essays and fragments alter the pace and bring thought closer to everyday experience.

Image

Landscapes and visual records take part in the inquiry, attending to what remains at the margins.

Why does this book take this form?

The research could have become only an article. The editorial choice was to keep different ways of knowing visible within the same publication.

The archive does not close experience

Documents and interviews provide historical precision, but they do not exhaust what a crisis leaves in bodies, memory or landscapes.

The poem does not illustrate the research

Literary writing does not translate an argument already completed. It tests rhythm, distance and language where direct explanation reaches its limits.

The image is not decoration

Photographs and landscapes take part in the thinking. They allow relationships to remain in the book without requiring a caption to resolve them completely.
