Critical theory, utopia and feminism.
Renaud, Michelle.

Critical theory, utopia and feminism. - 265 p.

Adviser: Gertrud Neuwirth.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Carleton University (Canada), 1996.

This dissertation contributes to the dialogue between Habermas and feminism, and to the reconfiguration of the debate between critical theory and postmodernism by enlisting Derrida's work on metaphor. It argues that feminism should situate itself in relation to Habermas's conceptualization of the project of modernity as the development of solidaritic public spheres, an alternative relation to tradition and the emancipatory potential of art. Feminism can then be considered to be both a fulfillment of this project and its transfiguration through its aesthetic dimension.

520 $a This dissertation contributes to the dialogue between Habermas and feminism, and to the reconfiguration of the debate between critical theory and postmodernism by enlisting Derrida's work on metaphor. It argues that feminism should situate itself in relation to Habermas's conceptualization of the project of modernity as the development of solidaritic public spheres, an alternative relation to tradition and the emancipatory potential of art. Feminism can then be considered to be both a fulfillment of this project and its transfiguration through its aesthetic dimension.
520 $a Yet Habermas holds the production of art to take place in an autonomous sphere split off from the lifeworld; and to deal only with beauty, to the exclusion of truth and morality. He concedes emancipatory potential only to art's reception. The poetry of women of colour and lesbian feminists radically challenges this. They claim their production of poetry takes place in the lifeworld; has to do with cognition and morality as well as beauty; and is vital to their struggles against racism and sexism. The dissertation provides a theoretical framework which does justice to their claim by expanding the project of modernity to take into account the Romantic critique of Enlightenment.
520 $a The dissertation argues that Habermas's theory of communicative action and his early model of the bourgeois public sphere are each an indispensable resource to the feminist search for a theory of the public. This is demonstrated by several creative feminist appropriations of his work, which reveal that the ideal of the public has been historically rejuvenated by marginalized groups.
520 $a The dissertation concludes that the emerging model of a woman-friendly postmodern community constitutes the most emancipatory rejuvenation of the ideal of the public. It unmasks the gender and class distortions of the bourgeois model and proposes a vision of solidarity which cuts across lines of ethnic and racial difference. It also revitalizes the Romantic utopia of art as a social-revolutionary force, since art is the vehicle for travelling cross-culturally and cross-racially, which is the poets' claim.
