Complicity: Individual Responsibility in Collective Contexts

Descripción del proyecto

Dilucidación de la responsabilidad individual en los daños sistémicos

Existen muchos daños sistémicos provocados y sostenidos de forma colectiva, como es el caso del cambio climático. No suelen ser intencionados y no pueden detenerse ni siquiera con acciones unilaterales. Una de las preguntas clave sobre los daños sistémicos es si los individuos pueden considerarse responsables de provocarlos o incluso de que se mantengan en el tiempo, o si la responsabilidad debe ser colectiva. Para estudiar esta cuestión, el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos CIRICC se propone examinar la forma en que los individuos pueden considerarse responsables de daños sistémicos provocados de manera colectiva. También investigará las formas en que debería considerarse responsable a un colectivo (y cuándo).

Objetivo

"The project ""Complicity: Individual Responsibility in Collective Contexts"" (CIRICC) sets out to explain how and in what ways individuals can be held responsible for systemic harms caused by collective action. The three objectives are to 1) elucidate the concept of collective responsibility, to 2) offer the first in-depth theory of how being a constituent of an unstructured collective can affect our moral agency, and to 3) create a new methodology for looking at how ignorance and knowledge affect our responsibility in collective settings.

These objectives give rise to three research themes, each represented by an overarching research question: (RT1) What is collective responsibility? (RT2) How can an individual be responsible for systemic harms and wrongs? (RT3) How do ignorance and knowledge affect our social norms and our responsibility in collective settings? For added practical relevance, these questions will be discussed through three cases studies that draw from complex real-life cases. These are which agents have a responsibility to take action on climate change mitigation, consumer complicity for the use of sweatshop labour in the global supply chains, and the impact of media corporations on certain harmful social norms. CIRICC will advance research in these areas through four peer-reviewed articles and a book proposal, as well as a two-day international workshop on individual responsibility and collective harms.
