This article is the editorial of the first of two special issues of Alter Journal about care and disability. The two special issues of the journal Alter on the topic of “care and disability” aim to extend the debate and dialogue begun between these different schools of thought on the nature of the aid relationship, its effects on the description and definition of people (aid providers and aid receivers), and on the inherent ambiguities and tensions. They analyse the debates between disability studies and the ethics of care.
