This article examines the ways in which the care-indifferent and gendered character of much political egalitarian theory has contributed to a disregard for the care-relational dimensions of social injustice within the social sciences. It demonstrates how the lack of in-depth engagement with affective relations of love, care and solidarity has contributed to an underestimation of their pivotal role in generating injustices in the production of people in their humanity. While humans are political, economic and cultural beings, they are also what Tronto has termed homines curans. Yet, care, in its multiple manifestations, is treated as a kind of ‘cultural residual’, an area of human life that the dominant culture neglects, represses and cannot even recognize for its political salience. If sociology takes the issue of relational justice as seriously as it takes issues of redistribution, recognition and political representation, this would provide an intellectual avenue for advancing scholarship that recognizes that much of life is lived, and injustices are generated, outside the market, formal politics and public culture. A new sociology of affective care relations could enhance a normatively-led sociology of inequality, that is distinguishable from, but intersecting with, a sociology of inequality based on class (redistribution), status (recognition) and power (representation). It would also help change public discourse about politics by making affective in/justices visible intellectually and politically, and in so doing, identifying ways in which they could be a site of resistance to capitalist values and processes.

关怀与情感关系:社会正义与社会学

本文考察了许多政治平等主义理论的关怀冷漠和性别特征如何导致社会科学中社会不公正的关怀关系维度的忽视。它表明,缺乏对爱、关怀和团结的情感关系的深入参与,如何导致人们低估了它们在人类生产中产生不公正的关键作用。虽然人类是政治、经济和文化生物,但他们也是特朗托所说的 homines curans。然而,关怀,在其多种表现形式中,被视为一种“文化残余”,一种被主流文化忽视、压制甚至无法认识到其政治显着性的人类生活领域。如果社会学像对待再分配、承认和政治代表的问题一样严肃地对待关系正义问题,那么这将为推进学术发展提供一条智力途径,承认生活的大部分时间都在生活中,不公正是在市场之外产生的,正式的政治和公共文化。一种新的情感关怀关系社会学可以增强以规范为导向的不平等社会学,它与基于阶级(再分配)、地位(认可)和权力(代表)的不平等社会学有区别但相交。它还将有助于改变关于政治的公共话语,通过在智力和政治上可见的情感/正义,并通过这样做,确定它们可能成为对资本主义价值观和进程的抵抗场所的方式。
