Antigone's Claim: Kinship Between Life and Death, by Judith Butler

Dr. Judith Butler is one of those theorists with whom I can disagree (and in fact do, quite often) while still respecting. Yes, her writing style is often opaque and labyrinthine; yes, she tends to misinterpret her sources (such as Foucault in Gender Trouble, possibly due to the translation issues?). But her writing is always interesting. And hey, the cover has an Ana Mendieta piece!

Interesting. To say the least. (I didn’t understand half of what this book said but well)

read this for one of my papers. it happens rarely enough that i get to read an academic book in full, not just in excerpts, so i'm logging it here

I actally have another book by Butler lying around (Precarious Life) that I got from the library before it shut down, and that I'm very very curious about, so....might use the quarantine to take a look at that too!
