- Description
- This volume collects essays of contributors who apply ideas of American philosopher Judith Butler in their research. It consists of four key themes in Butler’s scholarship: performativity (bodies that are performatively gendered), speech (bodies addressed and/or injured by language), precarity (bodies vulnerable to different degrees) and assembly (bodies that assemble and demonstrate). The volume also includes a new essay by Butler herself. Butler's work addresses topics such as gender normativity, the democratic power of assembling bodies and the force of nonviolence.
