Description
we have explored a variety of pressing social issues, as well as the many creative ways people have tried to affect change. You should now be prepared to think in deeper ways about politics of economic interests, as well as what we often call identity politics. Another way of putting this is the politics of redistribution vs. the politics of recognition. Which do you find more important for inspiring change and social equality---demands for cultural change (recognition) or demands for economic change (redistribution)? In other words, do you think change is most important on a symbolic or an economic level (and why)? How are cultural and economic issues intertwined? Would you (like Nancy Fraser) argue for a combination of both? What might such a combination look like?
Your engagement in the above topic should form the basis of your final paper, and your overall argument should address these issues in great detail. You must cite at least two course readings and at least one additional source. However, you will also need concrete examples (i.e. so-called ‘real world’ examples) from which to draw. Length is 1500-3000 words.
With this in mind, you have the option (but not requirement) to focus your response around the following additional issue:
Can art inspire or bring about real change? Do you agree with critics who claim art is a ‘social safety valve’ that allows oppressed folks to vent their dissatisfaction, or those who believe art is a genuine form of resistance (or neither or both)? Or, might you agree more with Horkheimer & Adorno’s analysis suggesting that now art is simply another commodity to be bought and sold for profit? Explain in detail what you argue the role for art in society is. What examples of real social and/or artistic movements can you provide to strengthen your argument?

POLITICS OF RECOGNITION AND REDISTRIBUTION

In effecting change in society, there is a demand for cultural change and the need for
economic change. Now, the normative aim of politics is to eliminate inequality, degradation, and
disrespect in society. This paper concurs with Nancy Fraser's idea of ‘redistribution’ to
‘recognition.' Politics of distribution is focused on the vision of justice that aims to achieve social
equality via a means of redistribution of the material necessities for existence as free subjects.
However, in the later in concepts, the conditions for a fair and just society have been defined as
the recognition of the personal dignity of all persons (Bozalek et al., 2020)
Currently, the push of recognition is quickly becoming the paradigmatic form of political
conflicts. In society, the demands of being recognized have fueled groups under the banners of
ethnicity, race, sexuality, and gender. All these categories are mobilizing themselves politically,
pushing for an end to exploitation and injustices. In my opinion, the politics of redistribution and
recognition are intertwined and closely related. In as much as they seem to be distinct paradigms
of justice, they are both political ideologies that must be used together to achieve equality and
economic progress in society.
To begin with, in contemporary politics, there is a demand for recognition. The politics of
recognition can be argued as one of the major driving forces behind the nationalist's movement
in politics. In today's politics, the need for recognition arises on behalf of minority groups and, in
some cases, from feminists. Everyone wants to be identified and recognized In today's society.
Thus, the politics of recognition provides a link between identity and recognition. Recognition
designates a person's understanding of who they are and their fundamental characterizes as
human beings (McRobbie, 1997). It is indeed important tha...
