Dancing with Iris: The Philosophy of Iris Marios Young: Studies in Feminist Philosophy Series

Editat de Ann Ferguson, Mechtild Nagel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 oct 2009
Iris Marion Young was a world-renowned feminist moral and political philosopher whose many books and articles spanned more than three decades. She explored issues of social justice and oppression theory, the phenomenology of women's bodies, deliberative democracy and questions of terrorism, violence, international law and the role of the national security state. Her works have been of great interest to those both in the analytic and Continental philosophical tradition, and her roots range from critical theory (Habermas and Marcuse), and phenomenology (Beauvoir and Merleau Ponty) to poststructural psychoanalytic feminism (Kristeva and Ingaray). This anthology of writings aims to carry on the fruitful lines of thought she created and contains works by both well-known and younger authors who explore and engage critically with aspects of her work. The essays include personal remembrances as well as a last interview with Young about her work. The essays are organized into topic areas that are of interest to students in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in ethics, feminist theory, and political philosophy.

Recenzii

This is a useful, informative collection of critical reflections on Iris Marion Young's substantial contribution to feminist, social, and political philosophy. It might do well as a supplemental text in a graduate seminar on the work of Young and other feminist and political philosophy.
As the legitimacy of politicians and political institutions comes into sharper focus in an era of global austerity unmatched in living memory, for me it is Iris Young's resolute grounding in everyday struggles, her concepts of differentiated solidarity and social connection that can give a theoretical underpinning for new and more empowering social practices - a place where sociology surely should always be.
The use of 'Dancing' in the title of this collection signals that it is above all a celebratory engagement with the work and the life of Iris Young. It also playfully points in the direction of arguably the most unusual and least familiar themes in Young's thinking explored in the book: the aesthetic dimension to be found not only in her work on embodiment (sketched out in the essays by Foster and Mann) but also in the implications of her account of structural inequality for understanding the role of aesthetic discomfort and disdain in anti-immigration sentiment (broached by Martínez).
