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 described by this word, which arises from how individuals are thought of in the shared social imagination. The shared experiences of social groups like racial minorities are emphasized in this kind of “politics.”
ANSWER: identity [accept identity power or identity politics]
