An Interview with Arlie Russell Hochschild
This is the second of two interviews with Arlie Russell Hochschild, Professor Emerita of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. In her work, Hochschild explores the many ways we manage our emotions in personal life and perform emotional labor in the workplace
Grammatology of modern recognition orders
Axel Honneth has recently published a major book entitled Das Recht der Freiheit. Grundriß einer demokratischen Sittlichkeit, where he, inspired by Hegel's philosophy of right, develops a theory of justice in the form of an analysis of modern Western society. The interview, which was conducted by email in the summer of 2011, is about the new book. Honneth presents the notion of ‘democratic ethical life’ (demokratische Sittlichkeit), a core concep…
Recognition, social invisibility, and disrespect
In one of the great Swedish novels of the twentieth century, Doctor Glas (1905) by Hjalmar Soderberg, the following succinct reflection is noted down by the main character: We want to be loved; fai
Recognition and critique
In the interview Butler introduces a far broader range of thinkers dealing with the issues relating to the concept of recognition than the existing mainstream focus on the work of Axel Honneth, Nancy Fraser, and Charles Taylor. Butler specifically points out that ‘recognition’ becomes a problem for those who have been expelled from the structures and vocabularies of political representation. To Butler, there are schemes of recognition that determ…
The demand for flexibility as a process of disenfranchisement
The demand for employees to show flexibility is not merely a characteristic of large companies, but one that can even be traced in municipal day nurseries and kindergartens. In a series of focus group interviews with Danish kindergarten teachers, managers and staff representatives, it became clear that the idea of flexibility has been incorporated into society's most basic reproductive stages. In this article we show that this demand has proved d…
Critique with Anthropological Authority
Contemporary conditions show that critique is not necessarily used as a means of emancipation. On the contrary, it has become a well-established weapon for communication strategists in the maintenance of contemporary relations of dominance, and is also utilized as an individualized control function. The anorexic, the depressive, and those suffering from stress or anxiety are all characterized by extremely negative self-criticism and an unbearable…
Self-Realization Options
On a descriptive level, the article points out that Western populations have experienced an increase in possibilities for self-realization, but also that the rise in options has led to a paradoxical increase in different forms of psychic distortion. On a more normative level, it has become clear that the neo-liberal idea of freedom, which seems to state that a free market will facilitate all forms of self-realization options, is incomplete. Appli…

Interview med Nancy Fraser
Recognition, Redistribution and Representation in Capitalist Global Society
Nancy Fraser is a Henry A. and Louise Loeb Professor in the Departments of Philosophy and Political Science of the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research, New York, USA, and is considered one of the leading theorists within the 1990s recognition theoretical turn. She works with analyses of contemporary societal developments from a normatively informed position. Her analytical framework is applicable to current, empirical studies o…
Work and Recognition
The article deals with the relationship between work and recognition, taking Axel Honneth's social-philosophical theory of the struggle for recognition as its point of departure. In order to give sociological substance to Honneth's theory, we turn to three contemporary social theorists - Jean-Pierre Le Goff, Christophe Dejours and Emmanuel Renault. In spite of many differences, their work is united by a critical description of the logic of work a…
An Interview with Axel Honneth
Fra anomi til anerkendelse—om den øgede fokusering på depressioner og stigningen i forbruget af antidepressiva
Der argumenteres for at det kan betaie sig at tage Durkheims antagelse alvorligt, nemlig at samfundets mentale tilstand afhænger af dets evne til normativ integration. Hvor Durkheim betegnede sin samtid som anomisk på grund af den permanente konkurrence og de voldsomme økonomiske udsving, påpeges det her at nutidens neo-liberale økonomiske idé resulterer i en forøget fokusering på depression og en stigning i forbruget af antidepressiva. Dette vis…
