Res Publica:
A Journal of Moral, Legal and Social Philosophy
Special issue on:
Theory and practice in the politics of recognition and misrecognition
Volume 18, Number 1, pp: 1-106
Guest Editors: Wendy Martineau*, Nasar Meer** and Simon Thompson***
*University of Bristol, **Northumbria University, ***University of West of England (UWE)
In recent years,
the idea of the politics of recognition has become an increasingly
popular way of thinking about a wide range of political phenomena, from the logic
of social struggles to the nature of social justice.
One theme running throughout this special issue is a close engagement with the scope of Axel Honneth’s conceptions of recognition and misrecognition, which are
explored through contributions which appropriate his work in a wide and varied
manner. These set of articles are broadly divided between
theoretically focused considerations of the constituent features of Honneth’s
conception of misrecognition, and its wider ‘real-world’ application in contexts of
statehood and international relations.
A second theme animating this special collection is the exploration of
misrecognition itself; what forms it may take and its potential to illuminate
particular experiences of individuals, conceived not as abstract ends but as situated
within specific and concrete social contexts.
