Abstract
Description
En la década de los noventa se presentó un debate académico entre Nancy Fraser e Iris Young. Estas autoras discutían sobre la forma como debería entenderse la justicia social para que fuera emancipadora. Por un lado, Young sugería que la injusticia debía definirse como opresión entendida como limitación de la participación política y la justicia por oposición como la ausencia de opresión. Por otro lado, Fraser sugería que la injusticia debía abordarse desde una perspectiva bidimensional de redistribución y reconocimiento para permitir la ‘paridad participativa’. Este artículo aborda este debate para tomar postura a favor de Fraser debido a que su modelo es más inclusivo y logra responder satisfactoriamente a los problemas que Young plantea respecto a la opresión, pero también las cuestiones redistributivas que Young obvia.
In the nineties an academic debate was presented between Nancy Fraser and Iris Young. These authors discussed the way in which social justice should be understood in order to be emancipatory. On the one hand, Young suggested that injustice should be defined as oppression understood as a limitation of political participation and oppositional justice as the absence of oppression. On the other hand, Fraser suggested that injustice should be approached from a two-dimensional perspective of redistribution and recognition to allow for 'participatory parity'. This article approaches this debate to take a position in favor of Fraser because his model is more inclusive and manages to respond satisfactorily to the problems that Young poses with respect to oppression, but also the redistributive issues that Young ignores.
