As boomers enter their 70s, more people than ever need long-term care.

Die prekäre Situation in den Nachfolgestaaten Jugoslawiens erzeugte eine spezifische Dynamik im Feld der Arbeitsmobilität. Wenig erforscht ist für diese Region, wie ältere Care-Arbeiterinnen aus zum Beispiel Serbien oder Bosnien in deutsche Haushalte pendeln, um dort die Alten zu pflegen - meist illegalisiert, abhängig von Vermittlungsagenturen und privaten Arbeitgebern. Dieses genderspezifische Migrationsmuster verfolgt Tanja ViSic in einer vielfach verorteten Ethnografie mit Blick auf die Fragen: Wie sind die Mobilitäts- und Arbeitspraktiken der Frauen eingebunden in die sozioökonomischen Konstellationen des informellen Care-Arbeitssektors; wie sind sie in Auseinandersetzung mit den Arbeitsgesetzen und den Grenzregimes entstanden? Deutlich werden in dichten Fallstudien kulturspezifische Wahrnehmungsmuster von Care-Arbeit, Familienbeziehungen und dem Mobilwerden.

Hvordan klarer vi at leve, når vi også skal dø? Hvordan klarer vi at dø, når vi også skal leve? Disse spørgsmål er omdrejningspunktet for fortællingen om en ældre kvindes insisteren på at leve og dø med sin kræft uden at modtage behandling. Hun fravælger muligheden for et længere liv, fordi det indbefatter risikoen for et liv på halv kraft. Fortællingen er vinklet om datterens perspektiv som morens bisidder fra start til slut. Den udfolder, hvilke årsager der ligger bag morens valg, og datterens vanskeligheder med at forlige sig med valget.Kunsten at overleve døden handler både om døden og kunsten at overleve døden, når den kommer helt tæt på. Derfor handler den mest af alt om kunsten at leve, fordi vi skal dø.
