‘Why Bother?’ Skeptical Doubt and Moral Imagination in Care for People with Profound Intellectual Disabilities
Caring well for people with profound intellectual disabilities is challenging. This challenge is often framed in terms of their complex needs and the ambiguity of interpreting these needs. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this article argues that behind these challenges lies a more fundamental challenge of doubt: doubt stemming from uncertainties about the mind of the other, and thus about the purpose of care itself. Drawing on Stanley Cavell's n…
In praise of awkwardness in the field
In this article, we develop a new avenue for understanding the informative value of researchers' emotions for qualitative research by deepening our understanding of awkwardness in the field. With this, we aim to develop Arlie Hochschild's notion of 'emotion work' further as a methodological tool. Awkwardness concerns discrepancies in researchers' emotions that require and reveal emotion work. The argument is that reflecting on emotion work perfor…
Social inclusion revisited
The dominant idea in debates on social inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities is that social inclusion requires recognition of their ‘sameness’. As a result, most care providers try to enable people with intellectual disabilities to live and participate in ‘normal’ society, ‘in the community’. In this paper, we draw on (Pols, Medicine Health Care and Philosophy 18:81–90, 2015) empirical ethics of care approach to give an in-depth pict…
Doing’ normativity in disability studies
As a field concerned with improving the lives of disabled people, disability studies has always been a normative field of inquiry. For this reason, Vehmas and Watson (2016) urge disability scholars to engage with normativity more explicitly. This article builds on Vehmas and Watson to consider how disability scholars can 'do' normativity so as to arrive at normative insights attuned to the lives of disabled people themselves. The article has two …
The group home as moral laboratory
This paper examines the prevalence of the ideal of “independence” in intellectual disability care in the Netherlands. It responds to a number of scholars who have interrogated this ideal through the lens of Michel Foucault’s vocabulary of governmentality. Such analyses hold that the goal of “becoming independent” subjects people with intellectual disabilities to various constraints and limitations that ensure their continued oppression. As a resu…
Four Paradigm Cases of Dependency in Care Relations
Dependency functions as a keyword in care theory. However, care theorists have spelled out the ontological and moral ramifications of dependency in different and often conflicting ways. In this article, I argue that conceptual disputes about dependency betray a fundamental discordance among authors, rooted in the empirical premises of their arguments. Hence, although authors appear to share a vocabulary of dependency, they are not writing about q…
Thick Concepts in Social Research
Thick concepts are concepts that describe and evaluate at once. Academic discussion on thick concepts originated in meta-ethics, but thick concepts increasingly draw attention from qualitative researchers working in the social sciences, too. However, these scholars work in relative isolation from each other, and an overview of their ideas is missing. This article has two aims. The first is to provide such an overview, by bringing together these d…
