The Radical Politics of a Dialogized Corporeal Ethics
研究身体伦理如何通过集体集会中的对话互动,将身体间的相互依存与差异转化为推动社会正义和进步的激进政治力量。
This paper addresses how corporeal ethics can lead to progressive change in the name of justice and equality through the assembly and recognition of bodies in political action. Building on research in corporeal ethics and organizations, the paper focuses on the relations between situated bodies that are organized in acts of political assembly. The discussion attends to how this ethics, while arising in each body, gains effect when mobilized through collective organization. Assembly is one such mobilization. The gathering of people, however, is not enough. The power of assembly comes when it serves a dialogic purpose; one that seeks to destabilize and temporalize the firm footings of injustice to enable the possibility of social progress. Through assembly, a radical politics of dialogized corporeal ethics lends itself to a form of connectedness where interdependence and difference come together as a meaningful force in the struggle for social justice.
