The recent geopolitical scenario is bringing with it new evidence of power and justice asymmetries. Public discourse has started to change. The public sphere has become more polarized, injustice seem to have grown while the attention to it seems to have decreased both at an international and national level. New ideologies are emerging, bringing with them new narratives on the balance of power that affect issues such as justice, power, gender, democracy.
The session will explore power asymmetries, their meaning, origin, discourse and effects in different fields, both from a theoretical and from an empirical perspective. Therefore we welcome papers that will address themes such as:
- Power, in its different meanings, modalities and, most of all, distributions;
- Democracy, in its changing, narrowing and becoming;
- Gender disparities and injustice
- Justice, in its asymmetric modalities;
- Ideologies justifying power and justice asymmetries.
