Nancy Fraser

En este ensayo esclarecedor, la gran estudiosa del capitalismo y el socialismo Nancy Fraser ofrece un repaso respetuoso pero agudo a la tradición marxista buscando en qué ejes se puede hacer coherente la agenda del socialismo en el silgo xxi. Pero cuando esta agenda (crisis climatica, defensa de las minorias, fronteras, libertad sexual) no encaja con la vieja teoria, Fraser no duda en inventar formas de extender el socialismo y hacerlo mas grande, mas inclusivo a nivel teorico haciendo entender con increible claridad al lector que estas cuestiones que se despachan con desprecio como minoritarias o identitarias no son caprichos, sino ejes centrales para el replanteamiento de un sistema que esta a punto de devorarse a si mismo

¿Qué clase de animal es el capitalismo y cuál es su dieta para mantenerse con vida? Si respondemos esta pregunta, dice Nancy Fraser, entenderemos de verdad la crisis de nuestro tiempo y descubriremos el modo de matar de hambre a la bestia. Para eso, no nos alcanzan los modelos teoricos heredados del marxismo, que tienden a concebir el capitalismo como un sistema economico basado en la explotacion de la fuerza de trabajo y en la produccion con fines de lucro, bajo las leyes del mercado y de la propiedad privada. Esa vision oficial hoy resulta estrecha y, sobre todo, engañosa.En este analisis deslumbrante, Nancy Fraser desarrolla una teoria del capitalismo "modelo siglo XXI". Asi, paso a paso, presenta una nocion ampliada del capital como forma de sociedad y revela los ingredientes extraeconomicos que, lejos de ser marginales, son su condicion de posibilidad. Para expandirse, el sistema canibaliza zonas enteras que no estan mercantilizadas y que por eso quedan fuera del cuadro. Hay que traer a un primer plano esas "moradas ocultas" de las que el capitalismo se alimenta y examinarlas a fondo: riqueza expropiada a la naturaleza (aire respirable, tierras cultivables, agua potable) y a los pueblos sometidos y racializados de las periferias; multiples formas de cuidado, subvaluadas (cuando no negadas por completo) y en general a cargo de mujeres; bienes y poderes publicos, que proveen infraestructura material y juridica que el capital necesita para funcionar y a la vez socava todo lo posible; la energia y la creatividad de los trabajadores. Si bien no se consignan en los balances de las empresas, estas formas de riqueza constituyen precondiciones esenciales para las utilidades y las ganancias. Estos soportes vitales de la acumulacion son constitutivos del orden capitalista y el foco de conflictos hasta ahora aislados.Si queremos terminar con el capitalismo canibal, que devora las bases sociales, naturales y politicas de las que depende, tenemos que superar el reduccionismo economicista y construir, en cambio, una vision ampliada del socialismo, sin repetir las experiencias fracasadas del siglo XX. Puede parecer una tarea dificil, pero es nuestra unica esperanza. Esa agenda, y su hoja de ruta, es el alma de este libro imprescindible.

.¿Forma parte la regulación heterosexual normativa del proceso de acumulación capitalista hasta el punto de resultar imprescindible para su propia supervivencia? Esta puede ser la pregunta en torno a la cual se organiza el debate entre estas dos importantes teóricas feministas a finales de los años noventa del siglo XX. Se trata de una pregunta eminentemente política. La discusión comienza con la propuesta de Nancy Fraser de distinguir entre dos polos analíticos presentes en las luchas del momento: las luchas por el reconocimiento (prototípicamente, las luchas LGTB) y las luchas por la redistribución (protípicamente, las luchas de clase). La aguda contestación de Judith Butler a Fraser, inspirada en la crítica feminista y marxista a la familia, plantea una serie de cuestiones que todavía siguen presentes en el debate contemporáneo. Se trata del complejo problema de la relación entre lo económico y lo cultural en las formaciones capitalistas y de la hibridación de estas dos dimensiones en lo que se refiere a la producción del género y la sexualidad en esas mismas sociedades.

Por un populismo progresista que enfrente al neoliberalismo El capitalismo financiero muestra su cara más despiadada: destruye la industria y condena a las clases trabajadoras a un estrés creciente y

O neoliberalismo está se fragmentando, mas o que surgirá entre seus cacos? A principal teórica política feminista do século XXI, Nancy Fraser, disseca a atual crise do neoliberalismo e argumenta como poderiamos arrancar novos futuros de suas ruinas.O colapso politico, ecologico, economico e social global simbolizado pela eleiço de Trump, Bolsonaro e outros governantes de extrema-direita que dizem ser antiestablishment, embora façam parte dele destruiu a fe de que o capitalismo neoliberal pode beneficiar a maioria do povo dentro da democracia. Fraser explora como essa fe foi construida no final do seculo XX, equilibrando dois principios centrais: reconhecimento (quem merece direitos) e distribuiço (quem merece renda). Quando eles começam a se desgastar com as sucessivas crises nas primeiras decadas do seculo, novas formas de populismo surgem a esquerda, para os 99%, e a direita, para o 1%.Fraser argumenta que esses so sintomas da maior crise de hegemonia do neoliberalismo, um momento em que, como Gramsci disse, "o velho esta morrendo e o novo no pode nascer". O livro e acompanhado de uma belissima entrevista do editor da revista Jacobin, Bhaskar Sunkara, com Fraser, que argumenta termos a oportunidade de transformar o populismo progressista em uma força social emancipatoria, podendo, assim, reivindicar uma nova hegemonia.

Los ensayos de Nancy Fraser aquí recogidos pueden leerse como intentos preliminares para llevar a cabo tal evaluación, de forma a la vez sistemática e histórica. En un recorrido de vinticinco años de intervenciones en debates teoricos, sirven al mismo tiempo para documentar los cambios en marcha en la imaginacion radical desde los años sesenta. El libro es una apuesta teorica interdisciplinar e historicamente situada, que aspira a esclarecer las luchas y aspiraciones de nuestro tiempo, identificar las injusticias y los mecanismos que las generan, entroncar con los frentes abiertos y las perspectivas para un cambio social emancipatorio.Quines maneres de teoritzacio critica poden incorporar-se a les noves formes d''imaginacio radical? Els assaigs de Nancy Fraser aqui recollits volen aclarir les lluites i aspiracions del nostre temps, identificar-ne les injusticies i els mecanismes que les generen, entroncar amb els fronts oberts i les perspectives per a un canvi social emancipatori.

Nancy FRASER y Rahel JAEGGI examinan de nuevo las grandes preguntas que rodean la peculiar forma social conocida como "capitalismo", y cuestionan muchas de nuestras suposiciones comunes sobre qué es el capitalismo y como someterlo a la critica.Muestran como, a lo largo de su historia, varios regimenes del capitalismo se han basado en una serie de separaciones institucionales entre economia y gobierno, produccion y reproduccion social y naturaleza humana y no humana, reajustando periodicamente los limites entre estos dominios en respuesta a situaciones de crisis. Consideran como estas "luchas de frontera" -que estallan donde estan las divisiones institucionales constitutivas del capitalismo, es decir, donde la economia se encuentra con la politica, la sociedad con la naturaleza, y la produccion con la reproduccion- ofrecen una clave para comprender las contradicciones del capitalismo y las multiples formas de conflicto a las que da lugar. Observan que las sociedades capitalistas son inherentemente proclives a generar dos tipos de lucha: las luchas de clase, en el sentido marxista, y las luchas de frontera.A lo largo de las cuatro secciones en las que organizan el libro -conceptualizar el capitalismo, historizar el capitalismo, criticar el capitalismo y combatir el capitalismo- estas dos destacadas intelectuales de la Teoria Critica nos presentan una critica renovada del capitalismo que pone nuestra coyuntura actual en una perspectiva mas amplia, junto con diagnosticos agudos del reciente resurgimiento del populismo de derechas y lo que se requeriria de una alternativa de izquierda viable. Construyen una obra clave para la renovacion de la teoria critica y que resultara de gran interes para cualquier persona preocupada por la naturaleza y el futuro del capitalismo y por las cuestiones clave implicadas en la politica progresista actual.

Prácticas rebeldes. Poder, discurso y género en la teoría social contemporánea reúne una serie de ensayos muy discutidos sobre el feminismo y la teoría social. Leídos en conjunto, constituyen un encuentro critico sostenido con algunos de los principales enfoques europeos y estadounidenses de la teoria social. En ellos, Nancy Fraser desarrolla una teoria critica socialista-feminista nueva y original que supera mucha de las limitaciones de las alternativas actuales. En primer lugar, presenta un conjunto de ensayos criticos en los que despliega tecnicas filosoficas y literarias para separar la paja del trigo en las obras de Michel Foucault, los deconstruccionistas franceses, Richard Rorty y Jurgen Habermas. Luego, en un grupo de ensayos constructivos, incorpora sus puntos de vista a una nueva teoria critica de la cultura politica del capitalismo tardio. Y en la ultima seccion del libro, todos los temas se integran en una teoria general de la politica de la interpretacion de la necesidad. Dicho concepto se convierte en el eje de la teoria critica socialista-feminista del ultimo capitulo.

Nesta analise deslumbrante, a importante teorica Nancy Fraser descreve como o apetite voraz do capital esta destruindo o planeta, desenvolvendo uma teoria do "capitalismo do seculo XXI". Com muitos detalhes, Fraser apresenta uma noço ampliada do capital como uma forma de sociedade e revela os ingredientes extra-economicos que possibilitam a sua expanso.Canibalizando areas inteiras e formas de riqueza que so condiçes previas essenciais para o desenvolvimento e funcionamento do capitalismo como riquezas expropriadas da natureza (ar respiravel, terras araveis e agua potavel) e dos povos subjugados; multiplas formas de cuidado, subvalorizadas (se no totalmente negadas) e geralmente realizadas por mulheres; bens e poderes publicos que fornecem infra-estruturas materiais e juridicas de que o capital necessita para funcionar nosso sistema devora a democracia, o cuidado e o planeta constituindo uma serie de conflitos que ate agora pareciam estar isolados.

Pode parecer uma tarefa dificil, mas e a nossa unica esperança. Essa agenda e o seu roteiro so a alma deste livro que ja nasce urgente e essencial.
