The collection examines the ways in which the emerging
interdisciplinary study of care provokes a reassessment of the
connections and disjuncture between care and governance, ethics,
and public, personal and professional identities. Evolving from a
project coordinated by the Cambridge Socio-Legal Group, Spaces of
Care brings together leading international scholars to articulate
what we may consider to be a useful analytic of care. Lawyers,
anthropologists, sociologists and criminologists reflect on
specific aspects of conceptualising caring relations in
‘spaces’. These spaces include: communities of care and
abandonment; self-care and kinship care; spaces as ‘gaps’ in
care; the meanings of marketised care; and the ways in which care
is constructed and constrained in different ways in venues such as
homes, prisons, workplaces and virtual spaces. Common themes
include temporality (historical specificity) and the dynamics of
care across time and place; subjectivity (including different
experiences of care); the economies of care (including the
commodification of care; public and private manifestations of care;
privatised ‘care’); disruptions of care (which generate
vulnerabilities with regard to continuities of care); eligibility
(those deemed to be deserving and undeserving of care);
relationalities of care (collective and individual agency in caring
relations, kinship care), and technologies and imaginaries of care
(as in new notions of care forged by those in online virtual worlds
such as Second Life).
