Judith Butler's groundbreaking work on gender, sexuality, identity, and the body has had a profound impact on a wide range of academic fields. This book serves as a comprehensive introduction to Butler’s theories, offering a critical analysis of her work alongside feminist and non-feminist thinkers such as Simone de Beauvoir, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida.
Key topics include:
• Gender as performance and performativity
• Sociological perspectives on performance
• The materiality of the body and the role of biology
• Power, identity, and social regulation
• Subjectivity, agency, and feminist political practice
The book also delves into Butler’s engagement with issues such as melancholia and gender identity, hate speech, pornography, race, and social change, while exploring her evolving relationship with psychoanalysis. A vital resource for students of gender studies, sociology, psychoanalysis, and related fields, this text is designed to provide clarity on Butler's complex ideas in an accessible manner.
