A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Judith Butler wonderfully analyzes the power and promise of assembly, particularly the assembly of precarious populations, and in doing so offers a lucid and exciting analysis of contemporary forms of activism. This is a thinker at the height of her intellectual powers. --Michael Hardt, co-author of "Commonwealth"

Butler s book is everything that a book about our planet in the 21st century should be [...] Butler has the courage to acknowledge precarity in all its forms and its many corrosive effects --Times Higher Education

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Judith Butler elucidates the dynamics of public assembly under prevailing economic and political conditions. Understanding assemblies as plural forms of performative action, she extends her theory of performativity to show why precarity-destruction of the conditions of livability-is a galvanizing force and theme in today's highly visible protests.
