    In this contribution we present to the readers of “Meta” the slightly edited transcription of an online conversation with Nancy Fraser that took place in April 2021. The text includes introductory sections by Stefano Marino, questions by Anna Preti, Francesca Todeschini, Rolando Vitali and Alessandro Volpi, and replies by Nancy Fraser. The interview is based on a reading of the book Feminism for the 99 Percent: A Manifesto (Verso, London 2019), written by Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya and Nancy Fraser, but is also focused, more in general, on questions concerning capitalism, social crises, populism, feminism, critical theory and the Covid-19 pandemic

    Women of the World, Unite!: An Interview with Nancy Fraser

    Full text link
    In the summer of 2018, I visited Nancy Fraser at her home to conduct an interview on the various social, economic, and political struggles of our day. From the fight against neoliberalism to the movements challenging the far-right, Fraser analyzes our contemporary situation, remaining firmly rooted in the Marxist tradition. Central to Fraser's theoretical work is the concept of social reproduction, the sphere of capitalism associated with women. Her help in theorizing and organizing a “Feminism for the 99%,” opposed to what Fraser calls “progressive neoliberalism,” provides activists with both theoretical and practical tools for challenging the gender asymmetry inherent in the capitalist system. The following is an introduction to the thinking of Nancy Fraser, outlining her critiques of the capitalist system, her theoretical insights into social reproduction, and her articulation of the urgent need for a Feminism for the 99%

    Desde la perspectiva de la Justicia Social según Nancy Fraser (2012), se ha realizado una lectura interpretativa de la Cátedra de Estudios Afrocolombianos (CEA) para considerar si se trata de una acción basada en la política de reconocimiento que posibilita la redistribución, el reconocimiento y participación de las personas que forman parte de la minoría étnica de afrodescendientes, y que demandan un trato justo, no discriminatorio y más equitativo. Entendiendo que los problemas étnicos y raciales son fenómenos sociales que necesitan ser abordados desde una perspectiva multidimensional que articule las políticas de redistribución, reconocimiento y participación; vincular a la comunidad en acciones, estableciendo así un nuevo estatus desde el que se reconocen sus derechos y su contribución a la identidad nacional. Esta interpretación deja claro que el CEA no se construyó desde una perspectiva bioética y que Nancy Fraser no desarrolló su modelo de justicia social desde la bioética, el documento sí intenta establecer ese puente conceptual, constatando que una acción educativa basada en el reconocimiento Voluntad social posibilitar espacios de convivencia y reconocimiento social, personal y colectivo, desde y en el aula, posibilitando el respeto a la diferencia y facilitando que se escuche la voz de las minorías, valorando así sus aportes.Magíster en BioéticaMaestríaFrom the perspective of Social Justice according to Nancy Fraser (2012), an interpretive reading of the Chair of Afro-Colombian Studies (CEA) has been carried out to consider whether it is an action based on the recognition policy that enables redistribution, recognition and participation of people who are part of the Afro-descendant ethnic minority, and who demand fair, non-discriminatory and more equitable treatment.

    Nancy Fraser

    No full text
    E’ Nancy Fraser stessa ad aver raccontato quali vicende biografiche abbiano fornito l’imprinting alla sua formazione politico-culturale ed ai suoi studi: le battaglie politiche per la desegrazione e per i diritti civili, l’adesione in giovanissima età alla New Left e ai movimenti del Settantotto, l’attivismo politico negli anni dell’università e gli studi marxiani. Nancy Fraser è oggi un’esponente tra le più autorevoli della teoria critica. Nel corso degli anni, si confronta con interlocutori autorevoli, tra cui Axel Honneth, Judith Butler, Richard Rorty, Iris Marion Young. Risultano così numerose le tematiche delle quali ella si occupa che è difficile trovare un’etichetta soddisfacente per definirla: Chi è Nancy Fraser? Una marxista eterodossa? una femminista? un’ambientalista? La pensatrice è, in realtà, tutte queste cose insieme. Il filo rosso dei suoi lavori è il tentativo di mettere in luce le contraddizioni del capitalismo, soffermandosi con particolare attenzione sulle “grandi illusioni” prodotte oggi dal regime neoliberale

    Nancy Fraser and Participatory Parity Reframing Social Justice in South African Higher Education

    No full text
    Nancy Fraser and Participatory Parity provides a philosophical framework based on the work of Nancy Fraser, examining how her ideas can be used to analyse contemporary issues in higher education and reimagine higher education practices. Providing a forum for considering Fraser’s work in relation to participatory parity in higher education, the book shows how her political philosophy is relevant to higher education pedagogies, scholarship and practice. The recent student protests in South Africa in 2015 and 2016 has created an impetus to think about how to do things differently in higher education in response to economic, cultural and political inequities. This South African experience is aptly used as a prime example of rethinking issues of coloniality and social injustice in higher education. The contributors’ use of Nancy Fraser’s theories provides their analyses and reflections with a particularly sharp lens and clear focus. The book also puts her work into conversation with other contemporary writers on social justice and explores the resonances and differentiations of the various approaches. This book will be of great interest for academics, researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of social justice in education and educational policy.No Full Tex

    The theory of justice in Nancy Fraser

    Full text link
    Desde las diferentes interpretaciones sobre de la justica en la contemporaneidad, pretende este escrito evidenciar la pertinencia de los postulados de Nancy Fraser en la concepción de lo justo. Téngase claro que la aspiración no es proponer un nuevo concepto de justicia, sino reescribir la propuesta de la justicia de nuestra autora para acentuar su importancia en las distintas perspectivas de la justicia actual. De este modo, se evidencia en este trabajo investigativo que la justicia redistributiva, de reconocimiento y representativa como nos lo plantea la autora, es eje trasversal en nuestra cotidianeidad y fundamento de la estructura social. Así, el problema de esta investigación versó sobre ¿cuál es la pertinencia de la propuesta postsocialista de Nancy Fraser en la concepción de la justicia social contemporánea? Y se desarrolló con la metodología crítica reconstructiva, que consiste en la reconstrucción conceptual del mundo de la vida a partir de la comprensión hermenéutica de las intuiciones práctico-morales. Estos saberes reconstructivos, los denomina Habermas como aquellos en los cuales la explicación teórica del objeto exige reproducir conceptualmente su génesis dentro de las experiencias vitales del sujeto. Ahora bien, las concepciones de la justicia contemporánea requieren superarse en cuanto a sus limitaciones metafísicas enmarcadas en los debates filosóficos de corte rawlsiano, que dejan de lado problemáticas fundamentales en torno al reconocimiento, la redistribución, y por ende, la justicia social, reiteradas en las situaciones de inequidad y discriminación de los constructos sociales. Por ello, se hace necesario acudir al redireccionamiento metodológico que propone Nancy Fraser para el estudio de la justicia, a partir de las tres categorías desde la cuales la autora define la justicia, a saber: redistribución, representación y reconocimiento. Con ellas concibe la lucha que se convierte cada día en el paradigma del conflicto político. De manera que, dicha tríada problemática estructura las reivindicaciones políticas actuales: la redistribución en la esfera económica, el reconocimiento en el ámbito socio-cultural y la representación en lo político.From the different interpretations of justice in contemporaneity, this writing intends to show the relevance of Nancy Fraser's postulates in the conception of fairness. Be clear that the aspiration is not to propose a new concept of justice, but to rewrite the proposal of justice of our author to emphasize its importance in the different perspectives of current justice. In this way, it is evidenced in this investigative work that redistributive, recognition and representative justice, as the author proposes, is a transversal axis in our daily lives and the foundation of the social structure. Thus, the problem of this research was about what is the relevance of Nancy Fraser's post-socialist proposal in the conception of contemporary social justice? And it was developed with the critical reconstructive methodology, which consists of the conceptual reconstruction of the world of life from the hermeneutical understanding of practical-moral intuitions. These reconstructive knowledges, Habermas calls them as those in which the theoretical explanation of the object requires conceptually reproducing its genesis within the life experiences of the subject. However, the conceptions of contemporary justice require overcoming their metaphysical limitations framed in the Rawlsian philosophical debates, which leave aside fundamental problems around recognition, redistribution, and therefore, social justice, reiterated in situations of inequity and discrimination of social constructs. Therefore, it is necessary to resort to the methodological redirection that Nancy Fraser proposes for the study of justice, based on the three categories from which the author defines justice, namely: redistribution, representation and recognition. With them he conceives the struggle that every day becomes the paradigm of political conflict. Thus, this problematic triad structures the current political demands: redistribution in the economic sphere, recognition in the socio-cultural sphere and representation in the political sphere
