AbstractIn the most general sense, the concept of emancipation refers to an entity's liberation from control, dependence, restraint, confinement, restriction, repression, slavery, or domination. In modern English, the term “emancipation” commonly describes the transition from heteronomy to autonomy, from dependence to freedom, or from alienation to self‐realization. Rather than establishing a universally applicable definition of the term, however, it is important to bear in mind that the concept of emancipation has been, and continues to be, used in different contexts and given meaning from diverging ideological angles. In order to illustrate the complexity of the term, this entry will consider (1) differentelementsof emancipation, (2) differentconceptionsof emancipation, and (3) differentmovementsof emancipation.
