It is necessary to state this in the face of consistent critiques which suggest that social justice issues inevitably translate into firmly entrenched binary oppositions, which are hierarchically positioned and involve mutual homogenisatidn and reductionism. Whether it be men and women, or mainstream feminists versus minority women, or indigenous peoples versus settler societies, or biculturalism versus multiculturalism, nothing is served by holding to these crude characterisations. The dismantling of hegemonic categories if facilitated by. the proliferation of difference rather than the setting up of binary oppositions which can merely be reversed; leaving structures of power intact. This is not to deny the fact that political manoeuvrings sometimes set these categories against each other or that matters are somehow constructed in such a manner that it appears a choice must be made between either party, but this does not mean that we have to accept the terms of such manipulations If we have a specific role as intellectuals it is precisely that of scrutinising, and if need be redefining the conceptual terms of the debates.","PeriodicalId":215471,"journal":{"name":"Feminism and the Politics of Difference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115163812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
