Die Macht der Geschlechternormen und die Grenzen des Menschlichen

In "The Power of Gender Norms and the Limits of the Human," Judith Butler delves into and reflects on a series of themes and theses in her thinking: the materiality of the body, the relationship between power and psyche, the political dimensions of psychoanalysis, and the effects of legal discourse on those who are not authorized to participate in it. The individual essays question, among other things, the pathologization of intersexuality and transsexuality and subject the phenomenon of sexual and ethnic panic in art censorship to critical analysis. The culmination and conclusion of the volume is a striking essay on the status of philosophy and its possibilities for giving voice to the "Other of Philosophy.".
