Care is central to life, and yet is all too often undervalued,
taken for granted, and hidden from view. This collection of
fourteen substantive and highly innovative essays, along with its
insightful introduction, seeks to explore the different dimensions
of care that shape social, legal and political contexts. It
addresses these dimensions in four key ways. First, the
contributions expand contemporary theoretical understandings of the
value of care, by reflecting upon established conceptual approaches
(such as the 'ethics of care') and developing new ways of using and
understanding this concept. Second, the chapters draw on a wide
range of methods, from doctrinal scholarship through ethnographic,
empirical and biographical research methodologies. Third, the book
enlarges the usual subjects of care research, by expanding its
analysis beyond the more typical focus on familial interconnection
to include professional care contexts, care by strangers and care
for and about animals. Finally, the collection draws on
contributions from academics working in Europe and Australia,
across law, anthropology, gender studies, politics, psychology and
sociology. By highlighting the points of connection and tension
between these diverse international and disciplinary perspectives,
this book outlines a new and nuanced approach to care, exploring
contemporary understandings of care across law, the social sciences
and humanities.
