Just to expand on the reference to Seyla Benhabib (requested off-list) =
this is an article from
the late 80s on 'the concrete and the generalised other' reproduced in =
several places including
her 1992 book 'Situating the Self'. In this book she develops a theory =
of ethical judgement and=20
community explicitly opposed to the absolute relativism and =
'incommensurability' arguments
of postmodernists such as Lyotard. Harraway's book is another such.
The reason I was citing this particular article, however, is that there =
has been an interesting feminist
critique of Lacan in particular which points out that the 'other' in =
language is not, or not only, an
abstract but also a concrete other, usually female, who (m)others us =
into language as infants, who is the
bearer of culture as well as the mirror in which we first 'recognise' =
our selves. I am interested
in the thought that the gender critique might also apply to the 'other' =
in CHAT - the other for whom
we are before we are for ourselves.
Has anyone written about this or is anyone planning to for the =
'feminist' issue of MCA?
In fact, has anyone explored what the 'other' in Lacan, Derrida, =
Kristeva etc might have to
say to the 'other' in Vygostky's formulation of CHAT?
