PG WIP Seminar: Louise Richardson-Self
USYD Philosophy Postgraduate Work-In-Progress Seminar
Louise Richardson-Self, "Revisiting ‘Little Rock’"
ABSTRACT: The views espoused by Hannah Arendt on marriage as a fundamental
human right in her Reflections on Little Rock are often cited in the same-sex
marriage debate. Advocates of same-sex marriage (recently, in Australia, Rodney
Croome) often rely on analogous arguments between same-sex marriage and
interracial marriage to show that having the right to marry is, “synonymous
with freedom from second-class legal and social status” (Croome, 2010: 8). The
questions explored here concern whether this analogy is a useful and valid one.
In order to discern the answer to these questions this paper offers a detailed
evaluation and analysis of ‘Little Rock’ as a whole, with specific focus on the
characterisation of the political, social and private realms in Arendt’s
thought. It aims to identify what role marriage plays in each of these areas.
It also questions whether marriage is an institution which all people can
legitimately claim a right to, especially in countries such as Australia
(unlike the United States), which have no Bill of Rights, for example.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
If you would like to present or require further information, please contact
Nick Malpas at [email protected]
The format is 30 minutes for presentations followed by 1 hour of discussion.
Since the primary aim of this seminar is to generate discussion, presentations
need not be particularly polished or formal.
