*Victims of the Dialectical March: Hegel, Ontology of Gender and Social Reproduction*
There is no one, unquestionable, and universally applicable feminist reading of Hegel. In the lecture, I will single out at least three different feminist readings of Hegel, which share certain points of departure, but differ from each other in their methods and goals. In resolving this topic, my key interlocutors will be the Yugoslav Hegelian-Marxist Blaženka Despot, the Italian feminist Carla Lonzi, and the political philosopher Seyla Benhabib. All three authors, moving from their standpoints, their different geo-historical contexts and unique philosophical motives, offer diverse readings and criticisms of Hegel. Despot develops a Marxist-feminist interpretation of Hegel’s philosophy, Lonzi a radical-feminist one, and Benhabib a liberal-feminist one. My intention is to complement Despot’s Marxist-feminist approach to Hegel with the theory of social reproduction and to point out some of the shortcomings of the other two examples of a feminist interpretation of Hegel. In addition, an equally important goal of my talk is an attempt to answer the questions of whether the philosophical tradition is important for feminist philosophy and whether it can be useful for the articulation and realization of progressive feminist ideas. Is Hegel’s philosophy useful for feminism? What about the victims of his dialectical march?
