Judith Butlerová Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

Judith Butler untersucht die Herausforderungen unserer Zeit, geprägt von Pandemie und Klimakrise. Sie reflektiert über die globale Interdependenz und fragt, wie eine gerechte Welt für alle Menschen geschaffen werden kann. Dabei stützt sie sich auf phänomenologische sowie queer-feministische und antirassistische Ansätze.

Judith Butler explores the fear of gender as a catalyst for reactionary politics globally, highlighting how anti-gender ideology movements manipulate this fear to challenge reproductive justice and undermine rights for trans and queer individuals. The book critiques the demonization of gender by authoritarian regimes and connects it to broader issues like critical race theory and xenophobia. Offering a hopeful vision, Butler calls for solidarity among those fighting for equality, making this a crucial intervention in contemporary social justice discourse.

At once profound, accessible, and utterly essential-an animated conversation between two eminent thinkers illuminating what we mean when we talk about living.

Dem Problem des prekären, gefährdeten Lebens kommt in Judith Butlers Werk eine zentrale Stellung zu. Dabei wird es stets im Zusammenhang mit den sozialen, diskursiven und geschlechtlichen Normen verhandelt, die das menschliche Leben bis in seine intimsten Facetten prägen und die für abweichende Körper und Lebensformen mitunter tödlich sein können. Auch Frédéric Worms berührt mit seinen Überlegungen zum kritischen Vitalismus, zu Fürsorge und Care-Arbeit aktuelle gesellschaftliche Debatten wie jene zum politischen Umgang mit Geflüchteten. In diesem Band erkunden die beiden Philosophen die Aporien und Ambivalenzen in ihrer Erörterung der Fragen: Was ist ein erträgliches Leben? Unter welchen Umständen lässt sich ein Leben (nicht mehr) aufrechterhalten? Wann wird ein gefährdetes Leben unmöglich?

Judith Butler shows how COVID-19 and all its consequences—political, social, ecological, economic—challenge us to develop a new account of interdependency. Butler argues for a radical social equality and advocates modes of resistance that seek to establish new conditions of livability and a new sense of a shared world.

In "Sinne des Subjekts" untersucht Judith Butler, wie Trauer, Liebe und Hass das Selbst prägen. Sie analysiert die Rolle sozialer Kräfte und Sprache in der Handlungsmacht des Subjekts. Durch den Dialog mit Denkern wie Spinoza und Freud entwickelt sie eine Ethik, die auf der Affizierbarkeit des Körpers basiert.

Anger looms large in our public lives. Should it?Reflecting on two millennia of debates about the value of anger, Agnes Callard contends that efforts to distinguish righteous forms of anger from unjust vengeance, or appropriate responses to wrongdoing from inappropriate ones, are misguided. What if, she asks, anger is not a bug of human life, but a feature—an emotion that, for all its troubling qualities, is an essential part of being a moral agent in an imperfect world? And if anger is both troubling and essential, what then do we do with the implications: that angry victims of injustice are themselves morally compromised, and that it might not be possible to respond rightly to being treated wrongly? As Callard concludes, “We can’t be good in a bad world.”The contributions that follow explore anger in its many forms—public and private, personal and political—raising an issue that we must grapple with: Does the vast well of public anger compromise us all?

Responding to the US's perpetual war, Butler explores how mourning could inspire solidarity.

Situating non-violence at the intersection of ethics and politics, this work highlights the ethical dilemmas that arise in the context of violence. Non-violence is often misinterpreted as a passive stance or an individualistic ethic disconnected from power dynamics. The author advocates for a more assertive form of non-violence that grapples with internal conflicts while striving for ideals of inter-dependency and equality. By critiquing individualism, the ethical and political dimensions of non-violence can be better understood alongside the principles of equality and the need for grievability. Drawing on the insights of Foucault, Fanon, Freud, and Benjamin, the text argues that opposing violence today necessitates an awareness of its various forms, including how society regulates the grievability of lives. It examines how "racial and demographic phantasms" influence state violence and the neglect of marginalized lives, leading to systemic "letting die." The pursuit of non-violence is framed within resistance movements that redirect aggression towards constructive ends, ultimately affirming the potential for radical egalitarian politics.
