Judith Butler & Political Theory: Troubling Politics / Samuel A. Chambers New York : Routledge, 2008 ix, 184p.; 24 cm. ; 24 cm. Indeks : p.183-184 p.174-182 This book is the first to take a thematic approach to Butler as a political thinker. Starting with an explanation of her terms of analysis, it develops Butler's theory of the political through an exploration of her politics of troubling given categories and approaches. By developing concepts such as normative violence and subversion and by elaborating her critique of heteronormativity, this book moves deftly between Butler's earliest and most famous writings on gender and her more recent interventions in post-9/11 politics. It explores her notorious deconstruction of the subject and supposed negation of political agency, and concludes that her work demonstrates a commitment to a radical vision of democracy troubled, but not constrained, by political theory itself. This book marks an intellectual event for political theory, with major implications for feminism, women's studies, gender studies, cultural studies, lesbian and gay studies, queer theory and anyone with a critical interest in contemporary American great power politics.
