The Subject of Care: Feminist Perspectives on Dependency

The Subject of Care: Feminist Perspectives on Dependency (Feminist Constructions)
- Used Book in Good Condition
All people spend a considerable portion of their lives either as dependents or the caretakers of dependents. The fact of human dependencyâ€•a function of youth, severe illness, disability, or frail old ageâ€•marks our lives, not only as those who are cared for, but as those who engage in the work of caring. In spite of the time, energy and resources-material and emotional, social and individual-that dependency care requires, these concerns rarely enter into philosophical, legal, and political discussions. In The Subject of Care, feminist scholars consider how acknowledgement of the fact of dependency changes our conceptions of law, political theory, and morality, as well as our very conceptions of self. Contributors develop feminist understandings of dependency, reassessing the place dependency occupies in our lives and in a just social order.
