Undoing Gender

Focusing on contemporary issues in gender and sexuality, Judith Butler explores themes such as new kinship, psychoanalysis, and the dynamics of social violence. She revisits her earlier views on gender performativity, emphasizing the need to challenge dominant notions of personhood. The book examines the evolving landscape of "New Gender Politics," addressing transgender and intersex identities while situating these discussions within feminist and queer theory. Butler advocates for social transformation through a critical analysis of the norms that shape gender and sexuality.
