IDENTITY AND JUSTICE - DEBBIE RODAN KARTONIERT ...

Debbie Rodan adds breadth and depth to the field of literary  cultural and gender studies
through a meticulous investigation of notions such as re-presentation  justice and
legitimation. She examines their historical and philosophical trajectories as well as their
politico-juridical underpinnings through an ambitious and timely recuperation of the
Enlightenment projects of rationality and emancipation. The point of departure is a critical
engagement with the theoretical work of John Rawls  Jürgen Habermas and Jean-François Lyotard.
Rodan claims each can be read as foregrounding diverse ways of constituting identity within the
social world. Recognition of other people's identity at the social  cultural and national level
is crucial to the possibility of justice. Rodan tests the concepts of justice  legitimation and
identity through detailed critical readings analyses of a range of texts. The range includes
the film East is East  a number of auto biographical narratives as well as the Australian
government report  Bringing Them Home  which is concerned with the removal of Aboriginal
children from their families. She avoids polarising Aboriginal non-Aboriginal notions of
justice  identity etc. by including texts which raise and problematise questions of ethnicity
and gender.
