Cuerpos Que Importan: Sobre Los Límites Materiales y Discursivos del Sexo Bodies That Matter (Genero y Cultura) (Spanish Edition)

"In Bodies That Matter, Judith Butler further develops her distinctive theory of gender by examining the workings of power at the most "material" dimensions of sex and sexuality. Deepening the inquiries she began in Gender Trouble, Butler offers an original reformulation of the materiality of bodies, examining how the power of heterosexual hegemony forms the "matter" of bodies, sex, and gender. Butler argues that power operates to constrain "sex" from the start, delimiting what counts as a viable sex. She offers a clarification of the notion of "performativity" introduced in Gender Trouble and explores the meaning of a citational politics. The text includes readings of Plato, Irigaray, Lacan, and Freud on the formation of materiality and bodily boundaries; "Paris is Burning," Nella Larsen's "Passing," and short stories by Willa Cather; along with a reconsideration of "performativity" and politics in feminist, queer, and radical democratic theory"--Publisher's website. img001 1 img002 2 img003 3 img004 4 img005 5 img006 6 img007 7 img008 8 img009 9 img010 10 img011 11 img012 12 img013 13 img014 14 img015 15 img016 16 img017 17 img018 18 img019 19 img020 20 img021 21 img022 22 img023 23 img024 24 img025 25 img026 26 img027 27 img028 28 img029 29 img030 30 img031 31 img032 32 img033 33 img034 34 img035 35 img036 36 img037 37 img038 38 img039 39 img040 40 img041 41 img042 42 img043 43 img044 44 img045 45 img046 46 img047 47 img048 48 img049 49 img050 50 img051 51 img052 52 img053 53 img054 54 img055 55 img056 56 img057 57 img058 58 img059 59 img060 60 img061 61 img062 62 img063 63 img064 64 img065 65 img066 66 img067 67 img068 68 img069 69 img070 70 img071 71 img072 72 img073 73 img074 74 img075 75 img076 76 img077 77 img078 78 img079 79 img080 80 img081 81 img082 82 img083 83 img084 84 img085 85 img086 86 img087 87 img088 88 img089 89 img090 90 img091 91 img092 92 img093 93 img094 94 img095 95 img096 96 img097 97 img098 98 img099 99 img100 100 img101 101 img102 102 img103 103 img104 104 img105 105 img106 106 img107 107 img108 108 img109 109 img110 110 img111 111 img112 112 img113 113 img114 114 img115 115 img116 116 img117 117 img118 118 img119 119 img120 120 img121 121 img122 122 img123 123 img124 124 img125 125 img126 126 img127 127 img128 128 img129 129 img130 130 img131 131 img132 132 img133 133 img134 134 img135 135 img136 136 img137 137 img138 138 img139 139 img140 140 img141 141 img142 142 img143 143 img144 144 img145 145 img146 146 img147 147 img148 148 img149 149 img150 150 img151 151 img152 152 img153 153 img154 154 img155 155 img156 156 img157 157 img158 158 img159 159 img160 160 img161 161 img162 162 img163 163 img164 164 img165 165 img166 166 img167 167 img168 168 img169 169 img170 170 img171 171 img172 172 El "sexo", ¿es una marca o dato indeleble de la biología? ¿O es una producción, un efecto forzado que fija los límites y la validez de los cuerpos?. En cuerpos que importan, Judith Butler retoma ambos presupuestos y los somete a debate para comprender cómo aquello que fue excluido de la esfera propiamente dicha del "sexo" tiene un retorno perturbador que incide radicalmente en el horizonte simbólico según el cual unos cuerpos importan más que otros
