Il rapporto tra natura non umana e accumulazione capitalista. Una riflessione critica a partire dalla teoria di Nancy Fraser

The article problematizes some conceptual dimensions of Nancy Fraser’s critical theory. Among them, the conception of the capitalist model as an institutionalized social order, the attempt to build a theoretical framework capable of bringing to light the areas of interdependence between economic and non-economic factors, and the periodic dynamics of systemic destabilization. After a framing of her work, within the fragmented debate on the crisis of contemporary capitalism, the article focuses on a specific contradiction of the accumulation processes, the relationship between society and nature. Specifically, the changes and transformations that are redefining the boundary between society and non-human nature in the neoliberal regime. The analysis ends by reviewing both positive and negative aspects of Fraser’s critical theory.
