Nancy Fraser at IRPPS
On May 18, philosopher Nancy Fraser visited IRPPS for a meeting entitled “Is feminism an unrecognized labor movement? A heretical question inspired by W.E.B. Du Bois”.
Fraser is Professor of Philosophy and Politics at the New School for Social Research in New York City. In her work, grounded in Critical Theory and Feminism, she has addressed issues of power, identity, emancipation, capital, justice, and oppression, particularly 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, particularly researchers Teresa Pullano, Angela Toffanin, and Beatrice Busi, who introduced her presentation, highlighting how Fraser’s work provides interpretive tools for understanding domestic violence in Italy and processes of subjectivation in contemporary democracies.
