Synopsis "Justice Interruptus: Critical Reflections on the "Postsocialist" Condition: Rethinking key Concepts of a Post-Socialist age "

Refuting the argument to choose between "the politics of recognition" and the "politics of redistribution," Justice Interruptus integrates the best aspects of both. ********************************************************* ** What does it mean to think critically about politics at a time when inequality is increasing worldwide, when struggles for the recognition of difference are eclipsing struggles for social equality, and when we lack any credible vision of an alternative to the present order? Philosopher Nancy Fraser claims that the key is to overcome the false oppositions of "postsocialist" commonsense. Refuting the view that we must choose between "the politics of recognition" and the "politics of redistribution," Fraser argues for an integrative approach that encompasses the best aspects of both.

She is one of the most prominent exponents of feminism and current critical theory. Educated amidst the struggles for civil rights and against the Vietnam War, she approaches philosophy and politics in an unorthodox way, disciplines she teaches at the New School for Social Research in New York. From this perspective, she integrates into her research a rereading of a vast library –ranging from Gramsci to the first generation of the Frankfurt School, deconstruction, Bourdieu, and Foucault– to propose critiques of inequality and exploitation that do not become functional to prevailing neoliberalism, but rather are rooted in a block of struggle for genuine economic and social justice. A lecturer and Honorary Doctor at major centers in Europe and America, she is the author of influential books such as Feminism for the 99%, Interrupted Iustitia, and Scales of Justice. Her current courses explore texts by Karl Marx (Gründisse) or Walter Benjamin, in addition to the relationship between capitalism, nature, and critique.
