Abstract

In proposing the eradication of gendered identity as I have thus far, there is a danger that, in challenging identity politics, one may inadvertently play into the conservative and negating impulses that many claims for recognition premised on foundational identity seek to challenge. This presents the ethical and political challenge ‘to deal with marginalization without compromising … political principles and the common good’ (Hirvonen 2012: 113).
