2. Outline Introduction A mixed blessing Dealing with its dangers Recognition and redistribution Complementarity Interdependence A bifocal theory of justice 2 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

3. Introduction Setting the problematic issues in the article, Women , homosexuals , black people, working classes, indigenous people, and religious minorities are all inferiorized , marginalized , devalued , and thus self- alienated , Women because of the prevailing patriarchal culture, Homosexuals because of the prevailing sexual norms , Black people because of the dominant racist culture, The other oppressed groups because of the dominant culture, Any way out to gain respect, rights and public legitimacy ?? 3 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

4. A mixed blessing Marginalized and inferiorized groups are sometimes criticized for invoking the abstract and quasi- absolutist language of identity rather than pursuing their objectives in the more familiar and manageable universalist language for equal rights and interests . 4 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

5. A mixed blessing The language of gender identity The homogenizing language of gender differences (the traditionalist universalist view ) 5 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

6. A mixed blessing Advantages of women’s gender and collective identity , Dangers of the collective identity , 6 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

7. Conclusions: the politics of collective identity a mixed blessing, establishes solidarity among marginalized groups, empowers them and gives moral energy to their cause, challenges, opens up the possibility of pluralizing the dominant culture… 7 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

8. Dealing with its dangers Though the politics of collective identity is a mixed blessing, it has some dangers that should be dealt with , 8 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

9. Dealing with its dangers Since struggles are crucial for social change and often require organized groups with clear objectives, collective identities are a necessary part of political life, p. 37 9 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

10. Dealing with its dangers First danger : collective identity tends to essentialize identity ( ies ), How to deal with : appreciating their plurality and interaction, Second danger : its tendency to create a sharp distinction and even opposition between closed identities , How to deal with : co -operating to reconsider views of the self and of the other marginalized groups: black, women … Arguing , appealing to some shared principles , Forging wider cultural and political alliances, Third danger : its tendency to naturalize / accept uncritically a historically inherited view of it , How to deal with : interrogating this reactive view of their identity to decide freely how they wish to live and define themselves , 10 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

11. Recognition and redistribution The politics of recognition means anti-discrimination measures , culturally sensitive interpretations and applications of laws , exemptions from certain rules and practices, additional rights and resources , fostering public respect for marginalized identities , acknowledging their presence in the definition of national identity 11 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

12. 12 Recognition and redistribution The state Justice Distribution Life chances Rights O pportunities Liberties Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

13. complementarity Recognition and justice should be complementary , But the advocates of recognition see it as one way of nurturing diversity , Distributive and redistributive justice, freedom of exploration, reconstitution, and expression of one’s individual and collective identities are all important and need to be integrated into a coherent theory of politics , 13 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

14. Complementarity But not all identities deserve public or interpersonal recognition, Some identities are oppressive, breed hatred of others , violate human dignity etc… 14 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

15. Complementarity The program of redistribution requires a strong sense of solidarity and social cohesion , Redistributionists are criticized for this because there is an abstract and false contrast between solidarity and diversity , Societies never do without either , there should be a balance, p.46 15 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

16. Interdependence The politics of recognition and the politics of redistribution are interdependent ; the reverse is true , As the world becomes increasingly globalized , rootless and impersonal , the cultural, religious , ethnic , and other identities become important sources of stability , giving their members the confidence to change with the times without suffering a moral panic, p. 50 16 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

17. Interdependence Also , the politics of redistribution depends on the politics of recognition in that the redistribution requires principles of justice to decide who should be entitled to claim what rights , opportunities etc… Justice is culturally embedded , 17 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

18. A bifocal theory of justice So, the politics of redistribution and recognition share common concerns , and different but complementary goals, The tension arises when their interdependence is ignored , Hence , the recognitionists and redistributionists’s views and positions should be integrated or brought closer to develop a richer bifocal theory of justice, 18 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014

19. C onclusion The recognition of legitimate identities expands the society’s sense of solidarity by including the marginalized groups into a shared collective identity and assists redistribution. 19 Tiznit Young Learners Conference , MATE 13/04/2014
