The article delivers a contribution to theorise (the devaluation of ) care-work in patriarchal capitalism and to connect the theorization with the empirical analysis of the German ambulant care sector in neoliberal times. The central theorem of ‘value-abjection’ transforms Marxist value theory and conceptualizes the abjection of care work as constitutive mechanism of domination in patriarchal capitalism.
