This essay interrogates the common assumption that good care is necessarily human care. It looks to disruptive fictional representations of robot care to assist its development of a theory of posthuman care that jettisons the implied anthropocentrism of ethics of care philosophy but retains care’s foregrounding of entanglement, embodiment and obligation. The essay reads speculative representations of robot care, particularly the Swedish television programme Äkta människor (Real Humans), alongside ethics of care philosophy and critical posthumanism to highlight their synergetic critiques of neoliberal affective economies and humanist hierarchies that treat some bodies and affects as more real than others. These texts and discourses assist me in proposing a theory of care that regards vulnerability as the normative effect of posthuman vital embodiment, as opposed to an anomalous state that can be overcome or corrected via neoliberal practice.

走向后人类关怀理论：真人与关怀机器人

这篇文章质疑了一个普遍的假设，即良好的护理必然是人类的护理。它着眼于机器人护理的破坏性虚构表征，以帮助其发展一种后人类护理理论，该理论抛弃了护理哲学伦理学中隐含的人类中心主义，但保留了护理的纠缠、体现和义务的前景。这篇文章阅读了对机器人护理的推测性表现，特别是瑞典电视节目 Äkta människor（真实的人类），以及护理哲学伦理和批判性后人文主义，以突出他们对新自由主义情感经济和人文主义等级制度的协同批评，这些等级制度将某些身体和情感视为更真实相对于其它的。
