Judith Butler, una de las figuras clave del pensamiento contempor�neo, presenta un libro contundente y combativo contra la grave amenaza del autoritarismo. Una intervenci�n esencial sobre una de las cuestiones m�s delicadas de nuestro momento.
En todo el mundo se han fundado movimientos de ideolog�a antig�nero dedicados a hacer circular la fantas�a de que el g�nero es una amenaza peligrosa para las familias, las culturas locales, la civilizaci�n, e incluso para el propio hombre . Inflamados por la ret�rica de figuras p�blicas y operando en t�ndem con los enga�osos relatos de la teor�a cr�tica de la raza y el p�nico xen�fobo a la migraci�n, estos movimientos han intentado derogar la justicia reproductiva, socavar las protecciones contra la violencia y despojar de sus derechos a las personas trans y queer demonizando las luchas por la igualdad y dejando a millones de personas vulnerables a la subyugaci�n.
Pero qu� es exactamente lo que perturba tanto del g�nero? En Qui�n teme al g�nero?, un libro tan vital como valiente, Judith Butler, cuyo pionero trabajo ha redefinido la forma en que pensamos sobre el g�nero y la sexualidad, se enfrenta a los ataques contra el g�nero que predominan en los movimientos de derecha actuales, examina c�mo este se ha convertido en un fantasma para los reg�menes autoritarios emergentes, las formaciones fascistas y las feministas transexclusivas, y expone c�mo funciona este fantasma.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Judith Butler, one of the key figures of contemporary thought, presents a powerful and combative book against the grave threat of authoritarianism. An essential intervention on one of the most pressing issues of our time.
Across the world, anti-gender movements have emerged, spreading the fantasy that gender is a dangerous threat to families, local cultures, civilization, and even to "man" itself. Fueled by the rhetoric of public figures and operating in tandem with misleading narratives about critical race theory and xenophobic panic over migration, these movements have sought to roll back reproductive justice, undermine protections against violence, and strip trans and queer people of their rights--demonizing struggles for equality and leaving millions vulnerable to subjugation.
But what is it exactly about gender that disturbs so much? In Who's Afraid of Gender?, a book as vital as it is courageous, Judith Butler--whose pioneering work has redefined the way we think about gender and sexuality--confronts the attacks on gender that dominate current right-wing movements, examines how it has become a phantom for emerging authoritarian regimes, fascist formations, and trans-exclusionary feminists, and exposes how this phantom operates.
Butler, Judith: -
Judith Butler es profesora de Retórica y Literatura Comparada en la Universidad de California (Berkeley), además de una de las figuras relevantes de la filosofía post-estructuralista. Es sin duda una de las filósofas más influyentes e inspiradoras en el campo de los estudios de género.
Su libro El género en disputa (Paidós, 1990) está considerado la obra fundadora de una teoría sobre la homosexualidad y es ya un texto clásico dentro de la teoría feminista. Butler sobrepasa el género y afirma que el sexo y la sexualidad, lejos de ser algo natural, son, como el género, algo construido. Llega a esta conclusión basándose en las teorías de Freud y sobre todo de Lacan. Ha publicado también, entre otros títulos, Mecanismos psíquicos del poder (1997), Excitable Speech (1997) y El grito de Antígona (2000).
Judith Butler is a Professor of Rhetoric and Comparative Literature at the University of California (Berkeley), as well as one of the leading figures in post-structuralist philosophy. She is undoubtedly one of the most influential and inspiring philosophers in the field of gender studies.
Her book Gender Trouble (1990) is considered the foundational work of queer theory and has become a classic text within feminist theory. Butler goes beyond gender, arguing that sex and sexuality, far from being natural, are, like gender, socially constructed. She reached this conclusion based on the theories of Freud and especially Lacan. She has also published, among other titles, The Psychic Life of Power (1997), Excitable Speech (1997), and Antigone's Claim (2000).
