“…Upon observing Malti's budding affection for her classmate Rajesh (played by Ankit Bisht), he even threatens her (Figure 1) and directs Rajesh to maintain a safe distance from her. Here, Babbu's "wilful ignorance" (Hänel, 2021) of Malti's affection for Rajesh creates a hindrance to his moral advancement, which is deeply embedded in the societal frameworks of patriarchal ideology.…”

By taking into consideration films as a method of dissemination of knowledge, the article examines the relationship between epistemic change, an understanding of epistemic injustice, and the prior epistemic convictions of characters, as well as everyday resistance, in the film Chhapaak, translated as Splash, an Indian Hindi‐language biographical drama film that portrays the life of Laxmi Agarwal, a survivor of an acid attack. The first section of the article contextualizes the story of the film through the trajectories of acid attacks in India. This is followed by discussions on epistemic injustice and collective wrongdoing through the lived realities of acid attack victims and survivors as depicted in the film. The article also highlights how these individuals exhibit everyday resistance and strive to bring about transformation in society. The article concludes with discussions on the epistemic, socio‐cultural, and hermeneutical responsibilities of people that can make society a safe place for all, especially girls and women in India. The article concludes by examining the epistemic, socio‐cultural, and hermeneutical responsibilities that individuals must undertake in order to create a secure environment for all members of society, with a particular focus on girls and women in India.

“… 17 Thanks to two anonymous reviewers for pushing me on this; for a similar suggestion, see Hänel (2021: 176). One reviewer suggests that Fricker herself might be amenable to going down this route, since she approvingly cites the emphasis Medina (2013: 108) places on the possibility of members of dominant groups being epistemically disadvantaged despite not suffering hermeneutical injustices (Fricker 2016: 174).…”

Whose Hermeneutical Marginalization?

Episteme

According to Miranda Fricker, being hindered from rendering something significant about oneself intelligible to someone constitutes a hermeneutical injustice only if it results from the hermeneutical marginalization of some group to which one belongs. A major problem for Fricker's picture is that it cannot properly account for the paradigm case of hermeneutical injustice Fricker herself takes from Ian McEwan's novel Enduring Love. In order to account properly for this case, I argue that being hindered from rendering something significant about oneself intelligible to someone can constitute a hermeneutical injustice so long as it results from the hermeneutical marginalization of some group – whether or not one belongs to that group. One upshot is that Fricker's distinction between systematic and incidental cases of hermeneutical injustice needs redrawing, and I show how this can be done. Another is that hermeneutical injustice is more widespread than Fricker recognizes.

“…Epistemic justice [17] is a conceptual framework which is helpful in this regard, and which can help us to think more generally about the dynamics of coproduction-and particularly some of the complexities involved in implementing a community-based approach when some community-members (i.e., perpetrators) are deliberately excluded from the work [18,19] and where other community-members (i.e., police) hold considerably more power than the vulnerable population at the center of the work [13]. This conceptual framework approaches the question of knowledge from a philosophical perspective which is concerned with equality and justice.…”

The Feasibility and Acceptability of an Experience-Based Co-Design Approach to Reducing Domestic Abuse

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

One means of reducing violence against people experiencing domestic abuse is to improve the pathway which they use to access help from the police and other services. In this paper we report and reflect on a project which contributes to violence reduction via a participatory approach to service improvement, focusing on this pathway. We describe the four phases of an innovative experience-based co-design (EBCD) project, which involved collaborating with domestic abuse survivors as well as members of the police and domestic abuse organizations. We report on indicators of the acceptability and feasibility of EBCD in this context. We also reflect upon the potential of the EBCD approach for involving communities in collaborating with services to reduce domestic abuse. We discuss the conceptual and methodological implications with regard to adopting participatory and inclusive approaches in contexts where power-sharing may be difficult. We argue that EBCD has considerable potential for use in this setting and we identify several areas where insights from this project could be used to improve the future viability of any such initiatives.
