Chapter Il lavoro di cura alla base della riproduzione della società. La prospettiva critica femminista di Nancy Fraser

Abstract

Critical feminist reflection has made a fundamental contribution in recent decades to rethinking the meaning and value of work. Within the framework of this discussion, Nancy Fraser's research has come to acquire a prominent role. The article reconstructs how this fact must be connected to the specificity of her way of practicing social critique. On the one hand Fraser reworked the insights of Marxist feminism; on the other hand, she integrated them with the demands of cultural feminism of difference. Proceeding along this path she has come to outline a two-dimensional approach to the problem of gender injustice, based on the integration of the paradigm of redistribution with that of recognition. The article then turns to her latest research, centered on her critical theory of capitalism.
