Abstract
Care has traditionally been silenced and taken for granted, but care is no longer silenced en toto. In this chapter I describe the philosophical background of a concern with silence as related to issues of dominance and subalternity, and theoretically outline a novel understanding of silence as an active process of silencing where struggles are involved. Methodologically I describe some of the various tools used to identify silencing in contemporary texts, and finally I illustrate silencing with examples from my own research. In this process care is not just about becoming part of one positive, feminist story, but equally important, also part of another pessimistic, feminist story on struggles about silencing care—or elements of care.
