Question
A 2007 book uses the way that Herbert silences his son’s fiancée Marge in The Talented Mr. Ripley as a case study of this type of injustice. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this type of injustice that Miranda Fricker divided into testimonial injustice, in which one person discredits another, and hermeneutical injustice. This kind of injustice is related to a type of violence theorized by Gayatri Spivak.
ANSWER: epistemic injustice [accept epistemic violence]
[10h] Fricker argues for prioritizing the more structural hermeneutical injustice by citing society’s onetime inability to cognize this kind of experience, drawing from Carmita Wood’s story; as such, the coining of this term filled a “hermeneutical lacuna.”
ANSWER: sexual harassment [reject “harassment”]
[10e] Fricker’s analysis of testimonial injustice centers a type of social power named for this word. The shared experiences of social groups like racial minorities are emphasized in this kind of “politics.”
ANSWER: identity [accept identity power or identity politics]
