Beschreibungen

<p>This edited collection focuses on the ethics, politics and practices of responsiveness in the context of racism, inequality, difference and controversy. The politics of difference has long been concerned with speech, voice and representation. By focusing on the practices and politics of responsiveness—listening, reading and witnessing—the volume identifies vital new possibilities for ethics and social justice.</p>

<p>Chapters focus on the conditions of possibility, or listening as ethical praxis; unsettling or disrupting colonial relationships; and ways of listening that highlight non-Western traditions and move beyond the liberal frame. Ethical responsiveness shifts some of the responsibility for negotiating difference and more just futures from subordinated speakers, and on to the relatively more privileged and powerful.</p>

"This exciting and well researched volume offers a conceptualization of ‘responsiveness’ that will make an enormous contribution to knowledge. In its pages, political responsiveness functions as a supplementary valence to shed new light on by now well-worn debates about voice, silence, and listening. Particularly commendable are the collection’s broad and intelligent coverage, the impressive line-up of scholars, and the timely and urgent topics addressed (these include Rhodes Must Fall, 9/11 and the rise of Islamophobia, Indigeneity, the resurgence of populism, and the global refugee crisis). The emphasis contributors place on the need for settler colonialists to listen, and their attentiveness to gender are especially welcome.” (Claire Chambers, Senior Lecturer in Global Literature, University of York, UK)
