Vulnerability: Reflections on a New Ethical Foundation for Law and Politics by M

Description: Vulnerability by Martha Albertson Fineman, Anna Grear Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book draws together major British and American scholars who present different perspectives on the concept of vulnerability and Finemans vulnerability thesis. Publisher Description Martha Albertson Finemans earlier work developed a theory of inevitable and derivative dependencies as a way of problematizing the core assumptions underlying the autonomous subject of liberal law and politics in the context of US equality discourse. Her vulnerability thesis represents the evolution of that earlier work and situates human vulnerability as a critical heuristic for exploring alternative legal and political foundations. This book draws together major British and American scholars who present different perspectives on the concept of vulnerability and Finemans vulnerability thesis. The contributors include scholars who have thought about vulnerability in different ways and contexts prior to encountering Finemans work, as well as those for whom Finemans work provided an introduction to thinking through a vulnerability lens. This collection demonstrates the broad and intellectually exciting potential of vulnerability as a theoretical foundation for legal and political engagements with a range of urgent contemporary challenges. Exploring ways in which vulnerability might provide a new ethical foundation for law and politics, the book will be of interest to the general reader, as well as academics and students in fields such as jurisprudence, philosophy, legal theory, political theory, feminist theory, and ethics. Author Biography Martha Albertson Fineman is Robert W. Woodruff Professor of Law at Emory University. A leading authority on family law and feminist jurisprudence, Fineman is the founding director of the Feminism and Legal Theory Project, an interdisciplinary scholarly project she began at the University of Wisconsin in 1984. Since 2007, she also directs Emorys Vulnerability and the Human Condition Initiative, an interdisciplinary project housed in the Laney Graduate School. Her scholarly work focuses on various aspects of the legal regulation of intimacy and on the social, cultural, and legal implications of human dependency and vulnerability and includes The Neutered Mother, The Sexual Family and Other Twentieth Century Tragedies (1995) and The Autonomy Myth: A Theory of Dependency (2004). Anna Grear is Reader in Law at Cardiff Law School and Adjunct Associate Professor of Law at the University of Waikato, New Zealand. She is a Global Affiliate of the Vulnerability and Human Condition Initiative at Emory University in the USA. Annas work focuses upon the laws construction of the human and of the human relationship with the world, broadly understood, with a particular emphasis upon the environment and globalisation. Annas scholarship is best known for its critical deconstruction of corporate human rights claims and related explorations of legal rights subjectivity. Her 2010 monograph, Redirecting Human Rights: Facing the Challenge of Corporate Legal Humanity has been welcomed as constituting a new ground of contestation and marking a fresh start towards understanding the ontology of human rights. Anna is also Director of the Global Network for the Study of Human Rights and the Environment and founder and Co-editor in Chief of the Journal of Human Rights and the Environment.
