Judith Butler in Conversation

Author: Bronwyn Davies (Ed)

$56.49

How has Judith Butler’s writing contributed to thought in the Social Sciences and the Humanities? The participants in this project draw on various aspects of Butler’s conceptual work and they question how it has opened up the possibilities of thought in areas of study as diverse as theatre studies, education and narrative therapy. In a format that demands careful listening and response, the scholars in this book interact with Butler, her writing, and each other. Within this dynamic space they take up Butler’s body of work and carry it in new and exciting directions. Their conversations and writing are, in turn, funny, exciting, surprising and moving.

Description

In this book, you will find dialogues with Judith Butler and with her work in which Butler responds to a group of scholars from the social sciences and the humanities who set out to examine the ways her philosophical writing has informed their own thinking and writing. They include people working in cultural geography, education, gender and feminist studies, narrative therapies and art psychotherapy, philosophy, psychology, rhetoric and cultural studies, sociology, and theater and dance. This dynamic exchange works at the interface between Butler’s philosophy and a range of other modes of studying human existence.

Judith Butler in Conversation: Analysing the texts and talk of everyday life, edited by Bronwyn Davies was published in the U.S. by Routledge in 2008.
