Identity politics as symptom of malaise in capitalism
Type de matériel :

Identity politics, supported for years by many left-wing movements, originates in postmodern theories, as well as in a post-1968 activism that considered making private life political. It is the consequence not only of the defeat of the labor movement, but above all of the capitalist process itself, which has a problematic impact on subjectivities. Faced with the loss of self and of ties with others as a result of the capitalist social relationship, identity-focused claims aspire to totality at the expense of the subject and alterity.
