Iris Marion Young

Autor: Michaele Ferguson , Andrew Valls

Número de Páginas: 219

Iris Marion Young (1949-2006) was one of the most influential and innovative political theorists of her generation who had a significant impact on a wide range of topics such as democratic theory, feminist theory, and justice. She bridged many longstanding divides among political theorists, engaging in Continental and critical theory, but also insisting on the importance of normative argument: her corpus stands as a testament to the fruitfulness of engaging in both abstract theory and the 'real world' of everyday politics. This volume spans the several decades of her work, illustrating her intellectual development over time through three major areas of innovation: Gender: Maintaining that gender is both conceptually and politically meaningful, Young theorized gender in terms of structures that, in combination, position different people we call "women" in different ways, such that some women have some structures in common, without all women sharing all gendered structures in common. Justice: Young’s early writings on a critical theory of justice evolved in her later and posthumously published works where she developed an account of justice that brought together her theorization...

Inclusion and Democracy

Autor: Iris Marion Young

Número de Páginas: 517

Democratic equality entails a principle that everyone whose basic interests are affected by policies should be included in the process of making them. Yet individuals and groups often claim that decision making processes are dominated by only some of the interests and perspectives in the society. What are the ideals of inclusion through which such criticisms should be made, and which might guide more inclusive political practice? This book considers that question from the point of view of norms of democratic communication, processes of representation and association, and how wide the scope of political jurisdictions should be. Democratic theorists have not sufficiently attended to the ways processes of debate and decision making often marginalize individuals and groups because the norms of political discussion are biased against some forms of expression. Inclusion and Democracy broadens our understanding of democratic communication by reflecting on the positive political functions of narrative, rhetorically situated appeals, and public protest. It reconstructs concepts of civil society and public sphere as enacting such plural forms of communication among debating citizens in...

Dancing with Iris

Autor: Ann Ferguson , Mechthild Nagel

Número de Páginas: 279

Iris Marion Young was a world-renowned feminist moral and political philosopher whose many books and articles spanned more than three decades. She explored issues of social justice and oppression theory, the phenomenology of women's bodies, deliberative democracy and questions of terrorism, violence, international law and the role of the national security state. Her works have been of great interest to those both in the analytic and Continental philosophical tradition, and her roots range from critical theory (Habermas and Marcuse), and phenomenology (Beauvoir and Merleau Ponty) to poststructural psychoanalytic feminism (Kristeva and Ingaray). This anthology of writings aims to carry on the fruitful lines of thought she created and contains works by both well-known and younger authors who explore and engage critically with aspects of her work. The essays include personal remembrances as well as a last interview with Young about her work. The essays are organized into topic areas that are of interest to students in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in ethics, feminist theory, and political philosophy.

Philosophy and the City

Autor: Sharon M. Meagher

Número de Páginas: 332

Using philosophical works from ancient Greece to contemporary times, Philosophy and the City demonstrates both why philosophy matters to the city and how cities matter to philosophy. The collection addresses questions that remain central to urban planning and everyday urban life, such as, What is a city? What does it mean to be a good citizen? By bringing various perspectives together, Sharon M. Meagher provides readers the opportunity to better understand key philosophical debates concerning not only social and political philosophy but also place and identity formation, aesthetics, philosophy of race and diversity, and environmental philosophy.

Justice and Global Politics

Autor: Ellen Frankel Paul , Fred D. Miller (jr.) , Jeffrey Paul

Número de Páginas: 342

Since the end of the Cold War, there has been increasing interest in the global dimensions of a host of public policy issues - issues involving war and peace, terrorism, international law, regulation of commerce, environmental protection, and disparities of wealth, income, and access to medical care. Especially pressing is the question of whether it is possible to formulate principles of justice that are valid not merely within a single society but across national borders. The thirteen essays in this volume explore a range of issues that are central to contemporary discussions of global politics. Written by prominent philosophers, political scientists, economists, and legal theorists, they offer valuable contributions to current debates over the nature of justice and its implications for the development of international law and international institutions.

Intersecting Voices

Autor: Iris Marion Young

Número de Páginas: 212

Iris Marion Young is known for her ability to connect theory to public policy and practical politics in ways easily understood by a wide range of readers. This collection of essays, which extends her work on feminist theory, explores questions such as the meaning of moral respect and the ways individuals relate to social collectives, together with timely issues like welfare reform, same-sex marriage, and drug treatment for pregnant women. One of the many goals of Intersecting Voices is to energize thinking in those areas where women and men are still deprived of social justice. Essays on the social theory of groups, communication across difference, alternative principles for family law, exclusion of single mothers from full citizenship, and the ambiguous value of home lead to questions important for rethinking policy. How can women be conceptualized as a single social collective when there are so many differences among them? What spaces of discourse are required for the full inclusion of women and cultural minorities in public discussion? Can the conceptual and practical link between self-sufficiency and citizenship that continues to relegate some people to second-class status be...

Justice and the Politics of Difference

Autor: Iris Marion Young

Número de Páginas: 304

"In this classic work of feminist political thought, Iris Marion Young challenges the prevailing reduction of social justice to distributive justice. The starting point for her critique is the experience and concerns of the new social movements that were created by marginal and excluded groups, including women, African Americans, and American Indians, as well as gays and lesbians. Young argues that by assuming a homogeneous public, democratic theorists fail to consider institutional arrangements for including people not culturally identified with white European male norms. Consequently, theorists do not adequately address the problems of an inclusive participatory framework. Basing her vision of the good society on the culturally plural networks of contemporary urban life, Young makes the case that normative theory and public policy should undermine group-based oppression by affirming rather than suppressing social group differences"--Provided by publisher.

On Female Body Experience

Autor: Iris Marion Young

Número de Páginas: 188

Written over a span of more than two decades, the essays by Iris Marion Young collected in this volume describe diverse aspects of women's lived body experience in modern Western societies. Drawing on the ideas of several twentieth century continental philosophers--including Simone de Beauvoir, Martin Heidegger, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty--Young constructs rigorous analytic categories for interpreting embodied subjectivity. The essays combine theoretical description of experience with normative evaluation of the unjust constraints on their freedom and opportunity that continue to burden many women. The lead essay rethinks the purpose of the category of "gender" for feminist theory, after important debates have questioned its usefulness. Other essays include reflection on the meaning of being at home and the need for privacy in old age residences as well as essays that analyze aspects of the experience of women and girls that have received little attention even in feminist theory--such as the sexuality of breasts, or menstruation as punctuation in a woman's life story. Young describes the phenomenology of moving in a pregnant body and the tactile...

Globalización, ciudadanía y derechos humanos

Autor: María José Fariñas Dulce

Número de Páginas: 77

En este libro se analizan los actuales contextos espacio-temporales de desarrollo de los derechos humanos, a saber: los procesos de globalización neoliberal de la economía y el mercado, por una parte, y los procesos de "localización", esto es, los procesos de fragmentación social y cultural de la ciudadanía, en búsqueda y en recuperación de identidades perdidas o marginadas. Ambos procesos se analizan como las dos caras de la misma moneda, esto es, como las dos caras de la disociación o ruptura producida entre, por una parte, la universalidad de la lógica individualista, acumulacionista y utilitarista del mercado capitalista global y, por otra parte, el pluralismo de la lógica identitaria y fragmentada de las actuales relaciones sociales y culturales; todo lo cual está produciendo unos específicos conflictos multiculturales propios de la globalización.

Political Responsibility Refocused

Autor: Genevieve Fuji Johnson , Loralea Michaelis

Número de Páginas: 185

In our highly globalized and networked society, even our most seemingly local actions can have far-reaching social, political, economic, and environmental consequences. Has this changed our moral and political obligations towards people distant from us in space and time – for instance, to generations who are not yet or no longer living, or towards those beyond the borders of our own nations? Political Responsibility Refocused explores the theoretical foundations and practical implications of individual and collective responsibility towards those who are spatially or temporally separate from us. These essays offer critical assessments of our political responsibilities on topics such as residential schools, sweatshop labour, climate change, and forms of energy generation. Inspired by the final published writings of political and social theorist Iris Marion Young, specifically her outline of a “social connection model” of political responsibility, the contributors assess whether there are practices, policies, and institutions that could meaningfully address these expanded political responsibilities.

Un corps à soi

Autor: Camille Froidevaux-metterie

Número de Páginas: 383

Longtemps, les femmes n’ont été que des corps, définies par leurs fonctions sexuelle et maternelle. La révolution féministe les a délivrées de ce carcan, mais elle a aussi dévalorisé le corps féminin. N’est-il pas pourtant le nœud singulier de notre rapport à nous-même et au monde ? À partir d’une relecture de Simone de Beauvoir, la philosophe Camille Froidevaux-Metterie propose de le saisir sous ses deux aspects : lieu de la domination masculine et vecteur d’une pleine émancipation. Sa pensée progresse au fil d’une exploration de ces événements corporels qui scandent la vie des femmes, de l’enfance empêtrée à la ménopause invisibilisée, de la honte adolescente à la découverte de la jouissance, de l’épreuve du réel maternel aux ravages de la violence sexuelle. Au fil de ces étapes, où l’écriture en première personne résonne avec les voix plurielles des femmes, l’autrice pose les jalons qui leur permettront de reprendre possession de leurs corps, jusqu’au plus intime d’elles-mêmes. Son féminisme incarné s’attaque au socle même du patriarcat et renouvelle, à l’écoute des luttes les plus contemporaines, les fondements...

Feminist Ethics and Social and Political Philosophy: Theorizing the Non-Ideal

Autor: Lisa Tessman

Número de Páginas: 315

Feminist Ethics and Social and Political Philosophy: Theorizing the Non-Ideal is a collection of feminist essays that self-consciously develop non-idealizing approaches to either ethics or social and political philosophy (or both). Characterizing feminist ethics and social and political philosophy as marked by a tendency to be non-idealizing serves to thematize the volume, while still allowing the essays to be diverse enough to constitute a representation of current work in the fields of feminist ethics and social and political philosophy. Each of the essays either serves as an instance of work that is rooted in actual, non-ideal conditions, and that, as such, is able to consider any of the many questions relevant to subordinated people; or reflects theoretically on the significance of non-idealizing as an approach to feminist ethics or social and political philosophy. The volume will be of interest to feminist scholars from all disciplines, to academics who are ethicists and political philosophers as well as to graduate students.

Penser les violences sexuelles

Autor: Marie Chartron

Número de Páginas: 314

Dans l'ombre, les violences sexuelles sont le quotidien de chacun.e de nous. Depuis 2017, #MeToo les met en lumière de manière inédite. Du monde du travail jusqu'au cœur des couples et des familles, en passant par l'Église, les témoignages, rendus publics sur les réseaux sociaux, par des commissions ou lors de procès retentissants, attestent encore et encore de l'ampleur des violences sexuelles dans tous les milieux et les demandes de justice se font toujours plus pressantes. Cependant les débats politiques et médiatiques occultent bien souvent les enjeux les plus profonds : ces violences ne sont pas des actes isolés, elles participent d'une structuration sociale plus large. Alors comment les concevoir ? Et comment lutter contre ? Si la philosophie a été historiquement muette sur le sujet, les féministes élaborent des réponses théoriques et pratiques à ces questions depuis des décennies. Dans les années 1970, ces mouvements font émerger les violences sexuelles comme un problème politique : elles seraient le fondement même du genre – de ce qui fait " des hommes " et " des femmes ". Mais ce modèle théorique est-il suffisant pour saisir l'ensemble de ces...

Diversity, Multiculturalism and Social Justice

Autor: Seth N. Asumah , Ibipo Johnston-anumonwo

Número de Páginas: 496

Diversity, Multiculturalism and Social Justice is a multidisciplinary reader for undergraduates taking courses in a wide variety of topics in Multicultural and Diversity Studies, International Studies, Minority and Ethnic Studies, Women’s Studies, African American Studies, African Studies, and Africana Studies. Following the introductory chapters where concepts in diversity, multiculturalism, and social justice are defined and explained in light of Iris M. Young’s “Five Faces of Oppression,” the authors present their original works, which consist of local and case studies from Africa and the United States, to fill in some gaps in the literature on cross-national perspectives on diversity and multicultural issues. The book is informed by the contributors’ interdisciplinary training in international studies, political science, and geography, and it is enriched by their teaching, research, and community-based experiences. It is a well-conceptualized and accessible volume that will serve as an excellent interdisciplinary supplement to discipline-specific text books.

La justicia en la filosofía contemporánea

Autor: Carrasquilla Ospina Jesús , Sandoval Sarrias Andrés

Número de Páginas: 196

Según Aristóteles, la justicia es una virtud que se pone en práctica en relación con otros y John Rawls en A eory of justice nos recuerda que ella es la primera virtud de las instituciones sociales. Sin duda, fue Rawls quien rehabilitó la justicia como ámbito de investigación de la losofía política y quien propició con su obra el debate entre liberales y comunitaristas. En este contexto adquieren relevancia los aportes de Judith Shklar y de Iris Marion Young a las re exiones sobre la justicia, además de las perspectivas losó cas de Charles Taylor y Axel Honneth. Sin embargo, fue el diálogo y discusión entre Nancy Fraser y Axel Honneth en 2003 con su publicación ¿Redistribución o reconocimiento? quienes propiciaron un debate acerca de la justicia entre dos modos del quehacer losó co dentro de la Teoría Crítica. Creemos que este primer debate público suscitó dos obras que enriquecieron la discusión: Escalas de justicia (2008) de Nancy Fraser y El derecho de la libertad (en alemán 2011 y en inglés y español 2014) de Axel Honneth. Es, en este marco, que debe entenderse la nueva agenda político-social desde el ámbito de la justicia a la que intentan...

The Power of Feminist Theory

Autor: Amy Allen

Número de Páginas: 184

In this new second edition of The Power of Feminist Theory: Domination, Resistance, Solidarity, Amy Allen diagnoses the inadequacies of previous feminist conceptions of power, and draws on the work of a diverse group of theorists of power, including Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, bell hooks, and Hannah Arendt, in order to construct a new feminist conception of power. The conception of power developed in this book enables readers to theorize domination, resistance, and solidarity, and, perhaps more importantly, to do so in a way that illuminates the interrelatedness of these three modalities of power. The new edition of this foundational text includes substantial new material on intersectionality and power, transnational feminism and power in relation to homonationalism and neo-imperialism, and empowerment feminism. It addresses important criticisms of Foucault, Arendt, and Butler that have been raised by Black feminists, critical philosophers of race, postcolonial theorists, and Marxists. The Power of Feminist Theory: Domination, Resistance, Solidarity is an essential text for students engaging with feminist analyses of power, feminist theory and feminist political thought.

Ce que la philosophie doit aux femmes - L'histoire oubliée de la pensée, des origines à nos jours

Número de Páginas: 350

Les femmes sont-elles des philosophes comme les autres ? En dépit de leur oubli et de leur effacement, les femmes ont contribué à l'histoire de la philosophie, en lui apportant les idées qui pouvaient lui manquer. Cet ouvrage vise à leur rendre justice, en mettant en avant leur pensée et leurs apports décisifs. Qu'elles aient été féministes ou non, elles ont ouvert à la philosophie de nouveaux territoires. Les auteures et chercheures qui ont collaboré à cette autre histoire de la philosophie ont consacré leurs travaux à faire connaître cette part oubliée de l'histoire de la pensée, d'Hypathie à Simone de Beauvoir, en passant par Rosa Luxemburg, Jeanne Hersch et Hannah Arendt, jusqu'aux débats récents après #Metoo. Laurence Devillairs et Laurence Hansen-Løve analysent ce que la philosophie doit aux femmes, avec les contributions des philosophes Sandrine Alexandre, Annabelle Bonnet, Marie Chartron, Estelle Ferrarese, Geneviève Fraisse, Marie Garrau, Isabelle Koch, Catherine Larrère, Catherine Malabou, Maud M'Bondjo et Camille de Villeneuve.

With Power Comes Responsibility

Autor: Maeve Mckeown

Número de Páginas: 281

What is structural injustice, and who ultimately bears responsibility for it? In answering these questions Maeve McKeown goes beyond the widely accepted narrative of unintended consequences and blameless participation to explain how power and responsibility truly function in today's world. Drawing on case studies from sweatshops to climate change, McKeown identifies three types of structural injustice: the pure and unintended accumulation of disparate activities; the avoidable injustice that could be ameliorated by the powerful but nevertheless continues; the deliberate perpetuation of structural processes that benefit powerful political and economic agents. In each of these, the role of power is different which changes the allocation of responsibility. From this understanding, we can shape a deeper, more sophisticated idea of how structural injustice operates and what we as individuals can do about it. What is the political responsibility of ordinary individuals? How can ordinary individuals with very little power pressure morally responsible, powerful agents to address structural injustice? Do we have the same responsibility for historical injustice as we do for that which we...

Expériences vécues du genre et de la race

Autor: Collectif

Número de Páginas: 236

Comment envisager les effets subjectifs et corporels produits par le sexisme et le racisme ? En quoi les catégories de race et de genre organisent-elles l’expérience ordinaire – y compris dans ses dimensions non réflexives, affectives ou intimes – et dans quelle mesure configurent-elles le rapport au monde, aux autres et à soi ? Quelles implications normatives et politiques sont mises au jour dès lors que les rapports de race et de genre sont envisagés, non comme des événements ponctuels dont la violence serait paroxystique, mais comme des structures de l’expérience quotidienne ou banale ? En élucidant l’expérience vécue des rapports de race et de genre depuis le point de vue des personnes concernées, la phénoménologie critique s’affirme depuis plusieurs années comme un renouvellement radical des problématiques qui guident la philosophie politique et sociale. Elle prend appui sur les travaux fondateurs de Simone de Beauvoir et de Frantz Fanon, pour proposer une relecture du canon phénoménologique – ses modes de description, ses objets, méthodes et concepts – et envisager les déplacements que les expériences minoritaires induisent. Elle...

Théories féministes

Autor: Collectif

Número de Páginas: 771

Des pionnières médiévales de la liberté de penser aux militantes des droits civils et politiques du XIXe siècle, des revendications pour la libération des corps des femmes dans les années 1970 aux propositions intersectionnelles et LGBTQI+ qui élargissent le projet émancipateur ces dernières décennies, le féminisme se caractérise par un foisonnement de théories mises au service d’un projet commun : renverser l’ordre patriarcal du monde. Aux côtés d’une histoire des luttes et d’une sociologie des mouvements bien documentées, Théories féministes éclaire de façon inédite le versant des idées qui les ont fondés et portés. Les 130 articles du volume dessinent ainsi l’immense constellation des concepts, des auteur·ices et des œuvres qui, des origines jusqu’à nos jours, en allant même un peu vers demain, nous permettent de porter haut le programme féministe dans un contexte politique de remises en cause des droits conquis et d’offensives réactionnaires. Dirigé par Camille Froidevaux-Metterie, le livre réunit une centaine de chercheur·euses, excellent·es spécialistes de leurs sujets, qui écrivent à partir de tous les espaces...

Inventing Philosophy's Other

Autor: Jonathan Strassfeld

Número de Páginas: 371

The history of phenomenology, and its absence, in American philosophy. Phenomenology and so-called "continental philosophy" receive scant attention in most American philosophy departments, despite their foundational influence on intellectual movements such as existentialism, post-structuralism, and deconstruction. In Inventing Philosophy's Other, Jonathan Strassfeld explores this absence, revealing how everyday institutional practices played a determinative role in the development of twentieth-century academic discourse. Conventional wisdom holds that phenomenology's absence from the philosophical mainstream in the United States reflects its obscurity or even irrelevance to America's philosophical traditions. Strassfeld refutes this story as he traces phenomenology's reception in America, delivering the first systematic historical study of the movement in the United States. He examines the lives and works of Marjorie Grene, Alfred Schütz, Hubert Dreyfus, and Iris Marion Young, among others, while also providing a fresh introduction to phenomenological philosophy.

Transición a la paz y responsabilidades de un pasado violento

Autor: De Gamboa Tapias, Camila

Número de Páginas: 236

Cuando la sociedad en su conjunto ha sufrido conflictos violentos, es preciso que las comunidades políticas asuman ciertas responsabilidades, a fin de lograr una transición política que logre una paz duradera y, en especial, una paz justa. De ahí que este libro, Transición a la paz y responsabilidades de un pasado violento, fundamentado en concepciones filosóficas, jurídicas y políticas propias de las democracias liberales y de la justicia transicional, se apoye e inspire en el conflicto colombiano, desde mis reflexiones y mis preocupaciones en mi condición de mujer y de ciudadana colombiana. Así, también esta obra analiza diferentes aspectos de los modelos de justicia transicional que se han gestado en Colombia y que iniciaron con la visión política y las negociaciones de paz en el Gobierno de Álvaro Uribe Vélez con las Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia, hasta llegar al modelo de justicia transicional del Acuerdo de La Habana con las FARC-EP, diseñado durante el Gobierno de Juan Manuel Santos, y que sigue rigiendo.
