It is widely claimed that a person must be recognised by others to realise their own identity and that the lack of recognition constitutes a form of oppression or injustice. Is recognition always a good thing?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this ambitious and compelling book, Kristina Lepold challenges the common assumption that recognition is positive, emphasizing its ambivalent role in social life. She offers a systematic account of the complex nature of recognition, showing how it can implicate us in oppressive or otherwise problematic arrangements. Lepold engages with different approaches for thinking about recognition—including Axel Honneth's influential theory, as well as arguments made by Louis Althusser, Pierre Bourdieu, and Judith Butler—which she reconstructs in a nuanced and accessible fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy one of the most original voices in the new generation of critical theorists, \u003cem\u003eAmbivalent Recognition\u003c\/em\u003e is a must-read for anyone interested in not only one of critical theory's key concepts but also the larger question of why unjust social arrangements often prove so stubborn and difficult to change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47306889593068,"sku":"9780231217309","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8229793482270.jpg?v=1771065320"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/kristina-lepold.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
