Abstract

There has been a significant shift among antipoverty nonprofits toward what we call “relational work,”which involves working with clients over time on life changes. Some scholars discuss this, often in negative terms, as part of a broader neoliberal trend. We argue that relational work is an important and unavoidable part of ongoing efforts against poverty and homelessness. We also discuss the broader theoretical context that make scholars suspicious of this kind of antipoverty work, and argue for a multifaceted approach topoverty that includes attention to relational work and the agency of clients.

Foucault’s work is complex, and we can’t do justice to the varied treatments of concepts such as “pastoral power,” or “monastic discipline” here, but see Laidlaw (note 14) for a good summary of how Foucault’s work evolved, including the implications for notions of virtue, ethics and freedom.
