Gender Trouble

Gender Trouble

"One of the most widely read scholarly works of the past 50 years"
A must-read in feminist theory, a groundbreaking work in gender studies, newly translated and revised
--------------------------
Since its publication in 1990, Gender Trouble has become a seminal work of contemporary feminist theory and a must-read for anyone interested in gender and queer theory. It immediately garnered both acclaim and controversy, catapulting Butler to prominence as one of the brightest academic stars in contemporary thought.
Gender Trouble integrates multidisciplinary discourses, including philosophy, anthropology, literary theory, and psychoanalysis, critically examining and analyzing the theories of Simone de Beauvoir, Foucault, Lacan, Freud, Kristeva, and Lucie Irigaray. It overturns the fundamental premise that the differences between women and men are rooted in the essence of the body, opening up new directions for gender studies. In the preface to the 10th anniversary edition published in 1999, Butler wrote that Gender Trouble's "point is not to propose a new gendered lifestyle" but rather to "open up a realm of possibilities for gender."
