A melancholy defeatism has become a hallmark of critical thought and leftist politics. A consequence of this has been an exaggerated focus on domination among critical theorists, leaving emancipation—along with questions of political organization and strategy—undertheorized at best, or disregarded as delusional, at worst. If emancipation still plays a role in critical reflection, it is most often in a “domesticated” form, made into a bedfellow of centrist liberalism. Recent events necessitate a different outlook, especially since the financial collapse of 2008 and the myriad movements—emancipatory as much as reactionary—it has spawned throughout the world. Through a series of dialogues and reflections by leading thinkers, scholars, and activists, Domination and Emancipation: Remaking Critique seeks to rebuild the emancipatory pole of critique and bring forward theoretical work that is in step with the struggles and aspirations of the moment.

El capitalismo financiero muestra su cara m s despiadada: destruye la industria y condena a las clases trabajadoras a un estr s creciente y una salud menguante, a la segregaci n y la inseguridad social, mientras aumenta la deuda p blica y resquebraja la vida comunitaria, alentando la competencia y el resentimiento. En medio de esta crisis global, muchas personas ya no creen en los partidos pol ticos y buscan nuevas opciones, sean de derecha o de izquierda. Qu hacer para que la crisis del orden neoliberal alumbre algo mejor para las mayor as? Con talento conceptual y esp ritu militante, Nancy Fraser aventura una hip tesis inc moda: si el neoliberalismo pudo sostenerse tanto tiempo, es porque conform una alianza con los sectores progresistas, que le aportaron carisma y cobertura ideol gica. As , Fraser alerta contra ese progresismo que dej de cuestionar la jerarqu a social en pos de diversificarla, y que, a fuerza de luchar por derechos para las mujeres, los colectivos LGBTQ+ y otras minor as, perdi de vista la desigualdad y la brecha de clases y, as , termin d ndole una p tina emancipadora y cosmopolita a un sistema cada vez m s regresivo. En una discusi n rica con el feminismo y el progresismo, Nancy Fraser llama a construir una nueva hegemon a. Ante el peligro de que la crisis abra la puerta a soluciones reaccionarias (incre blemente reaccionarias incluso), aboga por un populismo progresista, un imaginario de izquierda potente y capaz de entusiasmar con la promesa de una sociedad menos hostil y m s igualitaria.

Shortlisted for the Deutscher Memorial Prize 2023Capital is currently cannibalizing every sphere of life-guzzling wealth from nature and racialized populations, sucking up our ability to care for each other, and gutting the practice of politics. In this tightly argued and urgent volume, leading Marxist feminist theorist Nancy Fraser charts the voracious appetite of capital, tracking it from crisis point to crisis point, from ecological devastation to the collapse of democracy, from racial violence to the devaluing of care work. These crisis points all come to a head in Covid-19, which Fraser argues can help us envision the resistance we need to end the feeding frenzy. What we need, she argues, is a wide-ranging socialist movement that can recognize the rapaciousness of capital - and starve it to death.

Capitalism, by the twenty-first century, has brought us an era of escalating, overlapping crisis - ecological, political, social - which we may not survive. In this brilliant, wide-ranging conversation, political philosophers Nancy Fraser and Rahel Jaeggi identify capitalism as the source of the devastation and examine its in-built tendency to crisis. In an exchange that ranges across history, critical theory, ecology, feminism and political theory, Fraser and Jaeggi find that capitalism's tendency to separate what is connected - human from non-human nature, commodity production and social reproduction - is at the heart of its crisis tendency. These "boundary struggles," Fraser and Jaeggi conclude, constitute capitalism's most destructive power but are also the sites where a fighting left movement might be able to halt the destruction and build the non-capitalist future we so desperately need.A crucial text for students of political theory, economic theory, and social change, Capitalism offers an invigorated critique of twenty-first century capitalism and an incisive study of our current conjuncture.

"Recognition" has become a veritable keyword of our time, but its relation to "redistribution" remains under-theorised. This volume remedies the lacuna by staging a sustained debate between two philosophers, one North American, the other European, who hold different views of the matter. Highly attuned to contemporary politics, the exchange between Nancy Fraser and Axel Honneth constitutes a rigorous dialogue on moral philosophy, social theory, and the best way to conceptualise capitalist society.

Second Wave feminism emerged as a struggle for women's liberation and took its place alongside other radical movements. But feminism's subsequent immersion in identity politics coincided with a decline in its utopian energies and the rise of neoliberalism. Now, foreseeing a revival in the movement, Fraser argues for a reinvigorated feminist radicalism able to address the global economic crisis.

Across the globe politics as usual are being rejected and faith in neoliberalism is fracturing beyond repair. Leading political theorist Nancy Fraser, in conversation with Jacobin publisher Bhaskar Sunkara, dissects neoliberalism's current crisis and argues that we might wrest new futures from its ruins.The global political, ecological, economic, and social breakdown-symbolized, but not caused, by Trump's election-has destroyed faith that neoliberal capitalism is beneficial to the majority. Fraser explores how this faith was built through the late twentieth century by balancing two central tenets: recognition (who deserves rights) and distribution (who deserves income). When these began to fray, new forms of outsider populist politics emerged on the left and the right. These, Fraser argues, are symptoms of the larger crisis of hegemony for neoliberalism, a moment when, as Gramsci had it, "the old is dying and the new cannot be born."Explored further in an accompanying interview with Jacobin publisher Bhaskar Sunkara, Fraser argues that we now have the opportunity to build progressive populism into an emancipatory social force, one that can claim a new hegemony.

Nyliberalismen krackelerar, men vad kommer att ersätta den? Det globala politiska, ekologiska, ekonomiska och sociala sammanbrottet – som symboliserades men inte orsakades av Donald Trumps seger i presidentvalet – har slutgiltigt grusat föreställningen om att den nyliberala kapitalismen gynnar det stora flertalet. Nancy Fraser utforskar hur denna föreställning under det sena 1900-talet konstruerades utifrån två grundkategorier: erkännande (vem förtjänar rättigheter?) och fördelning (vem förtjänar en inkomst?). När dessa principer började erodera uppstod nya former av populistisk politik, både till höger och till vänster. Den populistiska vågen är enligt Fraser symptom på en mer omfattande kris för nyliberalismens hegemoni, ett ögonblick då, med Gramscis ord, ”det gamla dör och det nya inte kan födas”. I sitt efterföljande samtal med Bhaskar Sunkara, grundare och utgivare av tidskriften Jacobin, menar Fraser att vi nu har en möjlighet att bygga en progressiv populism i form av en emancipatorisk samhällskraft med anspråk på att etablera en ny hegemoni.

Unaffordable housing, poverty wages, healthcare, climate change, border policing; not the issues you ordinarily hear feminists talking about. But don't these issues impact the vast majority of women globally? Taking as its inspiration the new wave of feminist militancy that has erupted globally, this Manifesto makes a simple but powerful case: Feminism shouldn't start - or stop - with seeing women represented at the top of society. It must start with those at the bottom, and fight for the world they deserve. And that means targeting capitalism. Feminism must be anti-capitalist, eco-socialist and anti-racist. This is a manifesto for the 99%.

Feminismen måste vara antikapitalistisk, ekosocialistisk och antirasistisk. Det här är ett manifest för de 99 procenten.

In this important new book, Nancy Fraser and Rahel Jaeggi take a fresh look at the big questions surrounding the peculiar social form known as “capitalism,” upending many of our commonly held assumptions about what capitalism is and how to subject it to critique. They show how, throughout its history, various regimes of capitalism have relied on a series of institutional separations between economy and polity, production and social reproduction, and human and non-human nature, periodically readjusting the boundaries between these domains in response to crises and upheavals. They consider how these “boundary struggles” offer a key to understanding capitalism’s contradictions and the multiple forms of conflict to which it gives rise. What emerges is a renewed crisis critique of capitalism which puts our present conjuncture into broader perspective, along with sharp diagnoses of the recent resurgence of right-wing populism and what would be required of a viable Left alternative. This major new book by two leading critical theorists will be of great interest to anyone concerned with the nature and future of capitalism and with the key questions of progressive politics today.
