Desfazendo o Reconhecimento? Além de concepções negativas e positivas de intersubjetividade

The purpose of this article is to discuss how Judith Butler’s late work challenges the distinction between positive and negative theories of intersubjectivity, as proposed by Rahel Jaeggi. The main hypothesis here is that this challenge has to do with her approach to ambivalence since mid-2000s, including her debate with Axel Honneth, which offers a key contribution to contemporary critical theory to diagnose social pathologies and search for emancipatory potentials in times of deep and violent polarization.
