    What is Left for Critique? On the Perils of Innocence in Neoliberal Times.Paulo Ravecca & Elizabeth Dauphinee - 2022 - Las Torres de Lucca: Revista Internacional de Filosofía Política 11 (1):37-49.
    This essay explores the implications of what we call attachments to innocence for critical scholarship and progressive politics. After tracing the appearance of innocence in various strands of contemporary thought, we turn to how it shields individuals and groups from examining the depth of our own participation in oppression and harm. This evasion of responsibility works in our perspective as a hindrance to understanding power and engaging with others ethically. The essay more concretely examines how the reductionist and authoritarian dimensions (...)

Three components of such discourse are unpacked: The embrace of liberalism, the rejection of Marxism, and the uncritical engagement with the local political system, particularly the ‘traditional parties.’ The argument is supported by a (...)

    ¿Qué queda para la crítica? Sobre los peligros de la inocencia en tiempos neoliberales.Paulo Ravecca, Elizabeth Dauphinee & Yamil Rojo - 2022 - Las Torres de Lucca: Revista Internacional de Filosofía Política 11 (2):357-370.
    Este artículo explora las implicaciones para la academia y la política de lo que llamamos apegos a la inocencia. Luego de rastrear las formas en que la inocencia aparece en diferentes corrientes del pensamiento contemporáneo, nos concentramos en cómo ella protege a individuos y grupos de confrontar nuestra profunda participación en la opresión. Esta evasión de la responsabilidad funciona, en nuestra perspectiva, como un obstáculo para comprender el poder e interactuar éticamente. El artículo también examina cómo las dimensiones reduccionistas y (...)
