They reveal that neoliberalism's reification of the responsible subject masks the myriad forms of individual and collective responsibility that people engage with in their everyday lives, from accountability, self-sufficiency, and prudence to care, obligation, and culpability. The essays--which combine social theory with ethnographic research from Europe, North America, Africa, and New Zealand--address a wide range of topics, including critiques of corporate social responsibility practices; the relationships between public and private responsibilities in the context of state violence; the tension between calls on individuals and imperatives to groups to prevent the transmission of HIV; audit culture; and how health is cast as a citizenship issue. \u003ci\u003eCompeting Responsibilities\u003c\/i\u003e allows for the examination of modes of responsibility that extend, challenge, or coexist with the neoliberal focus on the individual cultivation of the self. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors \u003cbr\u003e Barry D.
