Abstract:

Chapter 5 articulates a democratic account of injustice from the core principles of freedom and equality for everyone. My aim in this chapter is to show how theorists can do substantive normative or partisan work within the bifocal approach. This account locates injustice in deformities of power relations—in domination, oppression, and exploitation—and recommends specific feminist epistemological tools and dialectical methods of inquiry appropriate for a democratic conception of injustice. The chapter illustrates the advantages of the bifocal approach, showing how it changes the way we think a

Tremble Tremble was an exhibition curated by Tessa Giblin for the Irish pavilion of the 57th Venice Biennale 2017. The exhibition was a collaboration between Giblin and the Irish artist Jesse Jones. It built on Giblin’s curatorial practice of ‘exhibition dramaturgy’ – methods of theatricalising contemporary art installations and enhancing their effects through modes of performance and immersion. The exhibition explored the relation between women’s struggles in the 21st century and the oppression of women in the middle ages, with a focus on the witch trials. It was developed in the context of t

Abstract:

Death, violence, oppression, and racism have become part of the narratives of all young African Americans. Parents and youth workers are challenged in navigating these realities alongside youth.

What might a practice of choosing life look like for young people? Considering the theological insights, public ministry, and prophetic vision of one young person, this chapter leads the reader through one example of listening and discernment with

Abstract:

Abstract This book attempts to chart a path toward transformative justice by using an anti-oppressive social work approach to resist the expansion of the carceral state. It critically examines strategies to shift punishment-centered practices to build collaborative partnerships and possibilities toward decarceration, health, and community power. We argue that it is crucial for social workers to recognize the unjust and ineffective logics of the criminal legal system, from violent policing to inhumane detention and imprisonment, to community surveillance, and including the loss of civil rights.

It employs the terms naturalized and natural in two distinct ways. First, it uses them as a means of identifying dictates and expectations that have shaped women and caused their oppr

The late seventeenth century, known for its contributions to the scientific method, also saw shifts in the understanding of legal evidence, the most prominent of which charted a course away from faith-based claims about knowledge to claims based on eyewitness testimony. Less well-known was a shift in legal evidence from the local to the global or from circumscribed to cosmopolitan witnessing. When John Locke argued that knowledge was the result of human interactions with the external world, the category of what counted as knowledge became geopolitically extensive, opening itself up to “facts,”

This book explicates how many films intersect black suffering and God-talk in ways that instantiate secular limitations to divine efficacy.

Abstract This book explains how grassroots communities are infiltrated and politically co-opted in ways that render their resistance harmless.

In the end, politics becomes a space where advocating for social justice makes less and less sense to people. The book therefore explains the politics of radical inaction through disempowerment, dissonance, and disengagement. It considers multiple sit
