Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity Audiobook (Free)

Probably one of the most talked-about scholarly functions of days gone by fifty years, Judith Butler’s Gender Difficulty is as celebrated since it is controversial.

Arguing that traditional feminism is certainly wrong to look to an all natural, ‘essential’ notion of the feminine, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler begins by questioning the category ‘woman’ and proceeds with this vein with examinations of ‘the masculine’ and ‘the feminine.’ Best known however, but also most often misinterpreted, can be Butler’s idea of gender as a reiterated public performance as opposed to the expression of a prior reality.

Fascinating and provocative, few other academic functions have got roused passions to the same extent.
