El "privilegio" de la postergación: Dilemas en las nuevas historiografías de la identidad

Abstract

In "The Evidence of Experience" Joan Scott challenged the philosophical accounts that support identity politics based on the fact that this tradition puts the razonability of the claims and the efficiency of this policies at risk. Multiples responses have been given to this argument, but the most profound and sharpest critiques were introduced by the Realist Post-positivist Programme. This theory, developed by Satya Mohanty and et al, tries to give an alternative consideration of the notion of "subjective experience"-antiessencialist (this is the reason for his antipositivism) but the opposite to the posmodernist deconstructive dissolution of this term (this is the reason for his realism). In this paper I analyze both positions and I will try to give a consideration on my own in order to offer a better and more efficient response to identity-claims.
