| Description: | Select Guide Rating This guide offers students of literature and culture a refreshingly clear introduction to Butler's crucial ideas, including the formation of identity, subjecthood and gender performativity.

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 Butler''s work and an extensive guide to further reading, this book offers an excellent introduction to one of the most influential critical thinkers writing today. |
