Abstract

The American philosopher Judith Butler is one of the most influential scholars working in the field of contemporary critical theory. Best known for her contributions to gender theory and feminism, specifically for her account of gender as performative, her recent writings on international theory and global ethics, her critique of U.S. foreign policy in the wake of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and her interest in the conflict in Israel–Palestine, have broadened her oeuvre and have made her work of interest to a wider public, beyond academia.
