Nancy Fraser at the IRPPS
On 18 May the philosopher Nancy Fraser was at the IRPPS for a meeting entitled “Is feminism an unrecognized labor movement? A heretical question inspired by WEB Du Bois”.
Fraser is a professor of philosophy and politics at the New School for Social Research in New York City. In your work, inspired by Critical Theory and Feminism, you have addressed issues of power, identity, emancipation, capital, justice and oppression, especially in relation to the functioning of liberalism.
The meeting, organized by Daniele Archibugi, was characterized by a fruitful dialogue between the philosopher and the IRPPS research community, and in particular female researchers Teresa Pullano, Angela Toffanin and Beatrice Busi, who introduced the intervention, highlighting how Fraser's work provides tools for interpreting the phenomena of domestic violence in Italy and the paths of subjectivation in contemporary democracies.
