This book brings together legal scholars engaging with
vulnerability theory to explore the implications and challenges for
law of understanding vulnerability as generative and a source of
connection and development. The book is structured into five
sections that cover fields of law where there is already
significant recourse to the concept of vulnerability. These
sections include a main chapter by a legal theorist who has
previously examined the creative potential of vulnerability and
responses from scholars working in the same field. This is designed
to draw out some of the central debates concerning how
vulnerability is conceptualised in law. Several contributors
highlight the need to re-focus on some of these more positive
aspects of vulnerability to counter the way law is being used
enable persons to escape the stigma associated with vulnerability
by concealing that condition. They seek to explore how law might
embrace vulnerability, rather than conceal it. The book also
includes contributions that seek to bring vulnerability into a
non-binary relationship with other core legal concepts, such as
autonomy and dignity. Rather than discarding these legal concepts
in favour of vulnerability, these contributions highlight how
vulnerability can be entwined with relational autonomy and embodied
dignity. This book is essential reading for both students studying
legal theory and practitioners interested in vulnerability.
