RESUMO

In recent discussions, some feminist theorists (Iris Young, Nancy Fraser and Seyla Benhabib) have focused on claims for recognition of identity-based groups (cultural, ethnic, “racial”, sexual, aged, and so forth). These claims have showed the existence of multicultural societies and have also given rise to an increasingly demand for affirmative policies and rights by social movements. This work will review those feminist critical theorists in order to show how it is possible to mediate such claims for recognition within democratic constitutional states. In this sense, a political public sphere seems to be a promising idea, which is able to give an outlet for social movements at the same time it gives a democratic criterion of political legitimacy.
