Undoing Gender constitutes Judith Butler's recent reflections on gender and sexuality, focusing on new kinship, psychoanalysis and the incest taboo, transgender, intersex, diagnostic categories, social violence, and the tasks of social transformation. In terms that draw from feminist and queer theory, Butler considers the norms that govern--and fail to govern--gender and sexuality as they relate to the constraints on recognizable personhood. The book constitutes a reconsideration of her earlier view on gender performativity from Gender Trouble. In this work, the critique of gender norms is clearly situated within the framework of human persistence and survival. And to "do" one's gender in certain ways sometimes implies "undoing" dominant notions of personhood. She writes about the "New Gender Politics" that has emerged in recent years, a combination of movements concerned with transgender, transsexuality, intersex, and their complex relations to feminist and queer theory.

A really great book regarding moving past gender stereotyping (and so much more).

Essential reading to understand transgender world view

March 29, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Difficult to read at first. Then, I read a lot of writings of transgender people and caught onto the world view and the vocabulary to go along with it, and it got easier to read. I personally found her analysis of gender to be shallow, but since she speaks for many people in the transgender movement, it is an important book to be aware of.

This is a highly readible bunch of essays illustrating Butler's thought. It's a great introduction to her for laymen that do not necessarily read technical jargon (scholareze) easily.

Wonderful book. Marvelous reflection. Even if you don't agree with everything it inspires you to push your critical reasoning behind the usual limits.

I used this book for a theory presentation. It was absolutely awesome! Judith Butler's argument is strong. Although, some of the arguments were a bit difficult to pick apart, Butler unwinds the gender stereotypes perfectly.

TOO LATE FOR LATE NIGHT NIHILISM

Please define "gender?" Personally that's the way I like mine. Undoing what? NO-THING? Fine. Lacking in 'finesse'? Catchy titles do not a book make.

Published on November 9, 2013

Interesting read to say the least. SHe gives great perspective and speaks from the heart regarding her own personal experiences.

Judith Butler discusses gender through a philosophic lens

First things first, Judith Butler is scary smart. Her linguist/philosopher credentials can make her a tough read sometimes, but the language she uses here is clear and pure.Read more

Published on September 20, 2006

Generally excellent, but with a serious flaw...

"Undoing Gender" is a dense and scholarly tome which demands careful consideration and perhaps repeated readings to fully appreciate.Read more
