This book breaks new theoretical ground by constructing a framework
of 'relational vulnerability' through which it analyses the
disadvantaged position of those who undertake unpaid caregiving, or
'dependency-work', in the context of the private family. Expanding
on existing socio-legal scholarship on vulnerability and
resilience, it charts how the state seeks to conceal the embodied
and temporal reality of vulnerability and dependency within the
private family, while promoting an artificial concept of autonomous
personhood that exposes dependency-workers work to a range of
harms. The book argues that the legal framework governing the
married and unmarried family reinforces principles of individualism
and rationality, while labelling dependency-work as a private,
gendered, and sentimental endeavor, lacking value beyond the
family. It also considers how the state can respond to relational
vulnerability and foster resilience. It seeks to provide a more
comprehensive understanding of resilience, theorising its normative
goals and applying these to different hypothetical state responses.
