Synopsis
Undoing Gender constitutes Judith Butler's recent reflections on gender and sexuality, focusing on new kinship, psychoanalysis and the incest taboo, transgender, intersex, diagnostic categories, social violence, and the tasks of social transformation. In terms that draw from feminist and queer theory, Butler considers the norms that govern--and fail to govern--gender and sexuality as they relate to the constraints on recognizable personhood. The book constitutes a reconsideration of her earlier view on gender performativity from Gender Trouble. In this work, the critique of gender norms is clearly situated within the framework of human persistence and survival. And to "do" one's gender in certain ways sometimes implies "undoing" dominant notions of personhood. She writes about the "New Gender Politics" that has emerged in recent years, a combination of movements concerned with transgender, transsexuality, intersex, and their complex relations to feminist and queer theory.

Undoing Gender
Seller: Chapter Two Books, Ammanford, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Acceptable. Undoing Gender by Judith Butler is a wide-ranging exploration of how gender is constructed, regulated and contested within social, cultural and political life. Butler examines the norms that define who is recognised as a viable person, showing how these norms shape everything from identity and embodiment to kinship and public policy. Through essays on transgender lives, feminist theory, intersex rights and the politics of recognition, she argues for expanding the frameworks that determine whose experiences are legible and valued. The book blends philosophical analysis with real-world cases, offering a challenging but accessible call to rethink the assumptions that restrict human possibility. Some highlighting to text.
