From the Back Cover
Since the publication of Gender Trouble in 1990, Judith Butler has revolutionised our understanding of identities and the ways in which they are constructed. This volume examines her critical thought through key texts, touching upon such issues as:
The subject
Gender
Sex
Language
The Psyche
With clear discussions of the context and impact of Butlers work and an extensive guide to further reading, this book offers an excellent introduction to one of the most influential critical thinkers writing today.
