Social Justice part 1
Power and Identity
Foucault
argued that power now originates from discourse
- discourse: system of thoughts, composed of ideas, attitudes, courses of actions, beliefs and practices that systematically construct the subjects and the worlds of which they speak (legitimizing power, construction of current truths)
- meaning our world is socially constructed and within this construction hides the power to control others.
- power and knowledge are interrelated so all knowledge negotiates power
-

-
- Power Was First created and maintained by physical force
- You were tortured or killed if you didn't conform
- Shifted in the 17th century
Gender
- Power in no longer overt
- it is through social networks that we experience control

Language
Structuralism: language constructs the world, words have 1 meaning, signifier, signified, referent
Post Structuralism: this change is not random, social/ historical setting, intersectionality
Deconstructionism: language constructs the world, words have more than 1 meaning, rhetorical figurative meanings, words change over time, Jacques Derrida

dominant group does not get mentioned ex// race issue=black, gender issue= female
Post Structuralist Argument: the way we grammatically frame things leaves men out of the equation to cause victim blaming ex// John beat marry-> Marry was battered woman
Men need to step up and challenge other men in peer culture... they need to create a peer culture where violence is not accepted (demonstrating bystander approach)
