 Like McAfee, José Medina draws on several thinkers in both the continental and pragmatist traditions to argue for a feminist response to oppressive socio-political conditions. Unlike McAfee, however, Medina conceives the project of resistance to oppression as fundamentally epistemological in nature. The reason for this is that, as he argues in The Epistemology of Resistance (2013), while democratic practice requires collective engagement, “in contexts of sexual and racial oppression there are cognitive-affective deficits that amount to specific forms of epistemic insensitivity: the inability to listen to and learn from others, the inability to call into question one’s perspective and to process epistemic friction exerted from significantly different perspectives” (2013, 17–18). Such deficits undermine the possibility of genuine democratic engagement and prevent the privileged in particular of recognizing the socio-political injustices in which they are complicit. However, Medina’s epistemological project is both critical and constructive. Drawing especially on the work of Foucault and James, he articulates a vision of the epistemological practices we must take up in order to resist oppression, for “epistemic and sociopolitical melioration go hand in hand” (301).
