Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Spaces of Care by Edited by Loraine Gelsthorpe Edited by Dr Perveez Mody Edited by Brian Sloan
Coordinated by the Cambridge Socio-Legal Group this edited collection interrogates the ways in which the interdisciplinary study of care challenges and provokes a reassessment of the points of connection and disjuncture between care and governance ethics and public personal and professional identities. Leading lawyers anthropologists sociologists and criminologists reflect on specific aspects of conceptualising caring relations in ‘spaces’ including:- Communities of care and abandonment- Self-care and kinship care- Spaces as ‘gaps’ in care- The meanings of marketised care- The ways in which care is constructed and constrained in different ways in venues such as homes prisons workplaces and virtual spaces
