Abstract
Building on the feminist endeavour of analysing the personal and political within the same frame, this essay asks four questions about the good life. First, what place recognition of exclusion has in the politics of redistribution? Second, what is the political spatiality – can we imagine a public good life without also paying attention to the private and how does the private leach into the public imagination of a good life? Third, what secures the good life – what obligations of justice to fellow human beings do we have to ensure our shared good lives? And finally, is good life a life of solidarity – can we imagine new ways of thinking about resistance and change through alliances of the excluded? I argue that the imagination of a good life has to be contextual, it is gendered and it is solidaristic.
