We live in a period of severe crisis, both objective and subjective. Objectively speaking, our crisis comprises many dimensions; financial/economic, ecological, social, and political. Subjectively speaking, its gravity is widely felt and generally acknowledged. Thus, we have before us indispensable preconditions for an emancipatory social transformation. Unlike its predecessors, however, this crisis has precipitated neither a comprehensive vision of alternative societal arrangements nor the sort of sustained, coherent matrix of organized opposition that could lead to an emancipatory resolution. The lecture reflects on this paradox.
Nancy Fraser is a critical theorist and the Henry A. and Louise Loeb Professor of Political and Social Science and professor of philosophy at The New School New York. Her research areas are social and political as well as feminist theory, and concern the politics of recognition and redistribution and concepts of justice within the conditions of a post-Westphalian and post-socialist frame. Among her most recent works are Scales of Justice: Reimagining Political Space in a Globalizing World (2008) and Abnormal Justice, published in Critical Inquiry, vol. 34/3 (2008), which is part of a book in progress.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
