“Speaking Into the Air”: Private Friendships and Public Dialogue
Le livre De la Liberté de John Stuart Mill est reconnu pour sa défense de la valeur sociale et épistémique de la liberté d’expression non seulement libre, mais aussi entière et vigoureuse. Toutefois, la valeur de l’écoute et le rôle essentiel des partenaires de conversation dans la qualité et la portée d’un débat, sont souvent relégués au second plan par rapport aux défenses dressées envers la liberté d’expression.

The Politics of Negative Emotions
Summary of Serena Parekh’s No Refuge
The Inadequacy of Choice Language in Migration Debates

Martha Nussbaum’s (2016) account of anger limits its utility in part due to its vengeful and narcissistic aspects; she notes that even when anger rightfully identifies a harm or unjust act, it too frequently represents a desire for retribution or status degradation of the offender. I think this viewpoint is incomplete, because it reduces human relations and status to a zero-sum tussle: I can only gain status if you (at least theoretically) lose i…
When Shaming Is Shameful: Double Standards in Online Shame Backlashes
Recent defenses of shaming as an effective tool for identifying bad practice and provoking social change appear compatible with feminism. I complicate this picture by examining two instances of online feminist shaming that resulted in shame backlashes. Shaming requires the assertion of social and epistemic authority on behalf of a larger community, and is dependent upon an audience that will be receptive to the shaming testimony. In cases where m…
