DESCRIPTION:
Bernstein, New School for Social Research"These important essays represent the aspirational and analytic agendas of Judith Butler's remarkable work. M. "Judith Butler is quite simply one of the most probing, challenging, and influential thinkers of our time. Bhabha, Harvard University. In making available in one place the full breadth of Butler's thought, Salih's reader will prove an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike." J. The Judith Butler Reader provides an exemplary selection from across the whole range of Butler's writings: gender identity, performativity, subjectivity, discursive power, kinship, and critique. Hers is a unique voice of courage and conceptual ambition that addresses public life from the perspective of psychic reality, encouraging us to acknowledge the solidarity and the suffering through which we emerge as subjects of freedom."
