How might vulnerability be rethought beyond its traditional associations with weakness and reimagined as the basis for solidarity?
Across the world, there are unprecedented numbers of dispossessed people; rights and resources are increasingly inaccessible to those who need them most, and the responsibilities we have to one another are continually undermined and exploited.
Referencing three sets of social relations – breathing, grieving and appearing – this book examines how recognition of our shared but always socially situated vulnerability could be the basis for organizing our lives in ways that better support relationality, solidarity and care, now and for the future.
Melissa Tyler is Professor of Work and Organization Studies at the University of Essex
