Indeks : p.232-233 p.221-231 This book provides the first forum where politics theorist engage in a series of critical encounters with Judith Butler's wide-ranging body of work. It brings together essays by 13 distinguished contributors, who address Butler's writing on topics ranging from feminism and phenomenology, to capitalism and culture, to law, rights and the livable life. Butler's work from the start has been profoundly philosophical , and therefore in principle multi-disciplinary. Rather than claim her as a political theorist, this book instead exhibits the diversity of responses that political theorist have had to her work. The theorists in this collection are not merely surveying or synthesising Butler's writings. They use Butler's thought. putting it to work in diverse ways. These include philosophical issues of great abstraction; cross-cultural and interdisciplinary issues in comparative social thought; macro-issues in public policy and international politics; and contemporary politics as reflected and pursued in TV and cinematic drama. While not under-rating Butler's achievements in reorienting the study of sex, gender and sexuality. Butler, Judith, 1956 - Philosophy Feminist theory Social ethics Samuel A.
