Abstract
This essay focuses on the debate between Nancy Fraser and Axel Honneth, and, more specifically, on whether social critique should focus on the resources for a good life (redistribution) or on the quality of social relationships (recognition) – or on both. In particular, Rosa argues that social criticism should focus on relationships indeed, but not just on social ones. The concept of resonance that he proposes is also crucial. If the process of appropriation (through participation) fails, we end up in states of alienation. And, as Fraser’s work suggests, under capitalist and patriarchal conditions, there is a high risk of this due to social acceleration, competition, and inequality.
