is, as a political goal, coming to displace redistributive struggles in economic globalization.

We are facing, then, a new constellation in the grammar of political claims making and one that is disturbing on two counts. First, this move from redistribution to recognition is occurring despite or because of an acceleration of economic globalization, at a time when an aggressively expanding capitalism is radically exacerbating economic inequality. In this context, questions of recognition are serving less to supplement, complicate and enrich redistributive struggles than to marginalize, eclipse and displace them. I shall call this the problem of displacement. Second, today's recognition struggles are occurring at a moment of hugely increasing transcultural interaction and communication, when accelerated migration and global media flows are hybridizing and pluralizing cultural forms. Yet the routes such struggles take often serve not to promote respectful interaction within increasingly multi-cultural contexts, but to drastically simplify and reify group identities. They tend, rather, to encourage separatism, intolerance and chauvin ism, patriarchalism and authoritarianism. I shall call this the problem of reification. (Frazer 2007 : 108)

is desiring the desire of another. It is to want to substitute oneself for the value desired by this desire.

Thus, in the relationship between man and women, for example, Desire is human only if the one desires, not the body, but the Desire of the other... if he wants 'to possess' or 'to assimilate' the Desire taken as Desire-that is to say, if he wants to be 'desired' or 'loved,' or, rather, 'recognized' in his human value, in his reality as a human individual. (Kojeve 1969 : 6) . . . Therefore, to desire the Desire of another is in the final analysis to desire that the value that I am or that I 'represent' be the value desired by the other: I want him to 'recognize' my value as his value, I want him to 'recog:dze' me as an eutonomous value. In other words, all human, anthropogenetic Desire-the Desire that generates Self-Consciousness, the human reality-is, finally, a function of the desire for 'recognition.' (Kojeve 1969 : 7)
