On Vulnerability maps out an array of perspectives for critically
examining the nature of vulnerability, its unequal patterning
across different social groups, alongside the everyday social
processes that render us vulnerable - interactions, identity and
group dynamics. Each chapter equips the reader with a particular
sensitising framework for navigating and questioning what it means
to be vulnerable or how people cope amid vulnerability. From
deviance, stigma and the spoiling or fracturing of identity, to
perspectives such as intersectionality, risk, emotions and the
vulnerable body, the book traces the theoretical roots of these
different analytical lenses, before applying these through
illuminating examples and case studies. Drawing on scholarship
across more interpretative, analytic and critical traditions, the
chapters combine into a multi-dimensional toolkit which will enable
the study of the cultural meanings of vulnerability, the
political-economic factors that shape its patterning, with a
critical sensibility for 'unlearning' many assumptions, therefore
challenging our sense of who is, or who can be, vulnerable. This
book is designed to equip undergraduate and post-graduate students
and researchers across the social, health and human sciences,
aiding them as they study and question the experiences and
structures of vulnerability in our social world.
