Benhabib herself points to this theoretical rift in a cogently argued footnote in Feminist Contentions. See 120–21n5. 10 Both Nicholson and Fraser criticize Butler for her assumption that the constitution of subjectivity necessarily and always produces negative, and specifically exclusionary, effects. ” (FC, 68). In other words, in authorizing myself as a subject do I necessarily deauthorize others? In what can only be called a moment of radical self-contradiction and incoherent recantation, Butler responds that “the exclusionary formation of the ‘subject’ is neither good nor bad, but, rather a psychoanalytic premise that one might usefully employ in the service of a political critique” (FC, 139).
Benhabib avoids a monadic understanding of autonomy insofar as she insists that any struggle for autonomy must acknowledge life as shared; she conceives of autonomy as a form of selfhood achieved in and through communicative and social practices that accord with the democratic ideals of recognition and respect. Nonetheless, Benhabib’s understanding of autonomy rests on an unexamined privileging of stable, if embodied and situated, identity that is secured through successful socialization processes.
17 In Bodies That Matter, she writes, “If there is a ‘normative’ dimension to this work”—she insists on putting this rare evaluative use of “normative” in quotes—“it consists precisely in assisting a radical resignification of the symbolic, deviating the citational chain toward a more possible future to expand the very meaning of what counts as a valued and valuable body in the world” (BTM, 21–22; my emphasis). In some ways, this is understandable as utopian writing, with recognizable antecedents throughout the history of leftist thought.
