Download Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity AudioBook Free
One of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past 50 years, Judith Butler's Gender Trouble is as celebrated as it is controversial. Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to turn to a natural, "essential" notion of the female, or indeed of intimacy or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category "woman" and continues in this vein with examinations of "the masculine" and "the feminine." Most widely known however, but also most often misinterpreted, is Butler's idea of gender as a reiterated interpersonal performance as opposed to the expression of a prior reality. Fascinating and provocative, few other educational works have roused passions to the same level.
