Vulnerability, precaritization and intersectional injustices: Notes for a feminist political philosophy

Abstract

This text explores the potential of a political philosophy of vulnerability, feminist and egalitarian, focused on analyzing, publicizing and criticise the processes of mass production of precarity. The intersection of the main axes of power is identified as a producer of intersectional inequalities, following the intersectional approach of P. H. Collins and N. Yuval-Davis. The situations of vulnerability/precarity induced are connected to the normative dimension through the concept of intersectional injustice following the contribution of I. M. Young. It concludes with a balance of the new social and political ontology of vulnerability as the basis for a feminist political philosophy.
