A rather perfect textbook at the right level. It opens up issues of transgender very well and is critical in just the right tone. Much needed in media and cultural studiesAngela McRobbieGoldsmiths, University of London
Good overview on Butler.
This book is ideal for under-graduate students who are encountering Judith Butler for the first time. It should be highly recommended to students studying not only gender-related issues, but who are doing any textual analysis. We unfortunately could not recommend the work simply because we are looking specifically for sources for our post-graduate students.
This will be very helpful to encourage students to not give up on Butler too fast!
Excellent coverage of the range of Butler's work without too much dilution. Accessible for 3rd year UG students as well as Masters students.
A useful insight into Butler's theories, very accessible for students
This is a very good introduction to the work of Judith Butler, which is of great importance to contemporary thinking, but also complex to make sense of, in its richness. I would recommend it as an introduction from which to begin exploring Butler's main contributions to philosophy and gender studies.
A clearly articulated and argued book of how to understand the complex writing of Judith Butler. I will definitely recommend the book for those who are studying post-modernism/feminism.
The authors make it (as promised) indeed easier to understand Judith Butler. Thanks!
Butler is such an important figure in post modernist /feminist research that I will certainly be recommending this book to students who are using either of those theoretical approaches in their work.
This volume is an accessible and well-structured introduction to the complexities of Butler's work - I will add it to my list of supplementary reading for a third year undergraduate course on 'Theorizing Difference' for students on English Literature programmes.
A major addition to broaden students' knowledge on language, gender and sexuality issues.
Excellent book!
Well, this book make the students can adopt the idea of buttler with the simple process....great idea in small book....
