Abstract

Time policies emerge in Italy in late 1980 through a popular initiative. Such iniciative provides the basis of a research and intervention field which explores its potential only partially. The text aims to carry out a rereading of the initiative around three core issues of the recent debates on care and sustainability of life: social inequalities and processes of empowerment; autonomy, dependency, vulnerability; and social structuring and change.The reflection lands on a concrete example: time banks.
