Tania Rispoli is Instructor of Italian and Gender, Sexuality, & Feminist Studies at Duke University. She previously served as Postdoctoral Associate for the NEH-funded project The Value of Care and as Research Associate at the Franklin Humanities Institute. She holds a PhD in Romance Studies from Duke University and a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Her research examines care as a terrain of political organization, where love and labor, conflict and repair shape how collective life is sustained and transformed. Working across feminist political theory, literature, and film, she studies care as a material and symbolic infrastructure of social reproduction. Her current book manuscript, The Politics of Care: Feminist Infrastructures of Love and Labor, develops this argument through posthumanism and Marxist feminism, tracing the entanglement of embodiment and disembodiment, regeneration and conflict, love and labor. Her writing has appeared in Feminist Studies, Philosophy and Public Issues, Studi sulla Questione Criminale, and Annali d’Italianistica. She has also translated major works of political theory from English into Italian, including Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri’s Assembly and Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson’s The Politics of Operations: Excavating Contemporary Capitalism. Her second book project rereads contemporary Italian feminist literature, including Elena Ferrante, Claudia Durastanti, Michela Murgia, and Goliarda Sapienza, through the lens of care politics.
