Epistemic Injustice and Powerlessness in the Context of Global Justice. An Argument for “Thick” and “Small” Knowledge

In this paper, I present an analysis of the “windows into reality” that are used in theories of global justice with a focus on issues of epistemic injustice and the powerlessness of the global poor. I argue that we should aim for a better understanding of global poverty through acknowledging people living in poverty as epistemic subjects. To achieve this, we need to deepen and broaden the knowledge base of theories of global justice and approach the subject through methodologies of “thinking small” and “thick descriptions”, which are ways to give people living in poverty sufficient room to express themselves and have their voices heard, leading to “small” and “thick” knowledge claims

Differentiable equivalence of fractional linear maps

A Moebius system is an ergodic fibred system $(B,T)$ (see \citer5) defined on an interval $B=[a,b]$ with partition (J_k),k\in I,#I\geq 2 such that $Tx=\frac{c_k+d_kx}{a_k+b_kx}$, $x\in J_k$ and $T|_{J_k}$ is a bijective map from $J_k$ onto $B$. It is well known that for #I=2 the invariant density can be written in the form $h(x)=\int_{B^*}\frac{dy}{(1+xy)^2}$ where $B^*$ is a suitable interval. This result does not hold for #I\geq 3. However, in this paper for #I=3 two classes of interval maps are determined which allow the extension of the before mentioned result.Comment: Published at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/074921706000000257 in the IMS Lecture Notes--Monograph Series (http://www.imstat.org/publications/lecnotes.htm) by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org
