By unraveling the complexities of social, material and institutional interdependencies, the author invites us to rethink conventional notions of dependence and vulnerability. Exploring issues of personhood as they relate to the exchange of material goods and care, the book offers a thought-provoking perspective on the seemingly promising shift towards a rights-based approach. A compelling read for anyone seeking to reshape the humanitarian agenda. 2024-02-23T14:19:24Z 2024-02-23T14:19:24Z 2023 book ONIX_20240223_9789004683020_47 9789004683020 9789004683013 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/87969 eng application/pdf n/a 9789004683020.pdf https://brill.com/display/title/69056 Brill 10.1163/9789004683020 10.1163/9789004683020 af16fd4b-42a1-46ed-82e8-c5e880252026 07f61e34-5b96-49f0-9860-c87dd8228f26 9789004683020 9789004683013 [...] Schweizerischer Nationalfonds zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung Swiss National Science Foundation open access
