Présentation de l'éditeur
In Bodies That Matter, renowned theorist and philosopher Judith Butler argues that theories of gender need to return to the most “material“ dimension of sex and sexuality: the body. Butler offers a brilliant reworking of the body, examining how the power of heterosexual hegemony forms the “matter“ of bodies, sex, and gender.
The Boston Book Review
"What the implications/limitations of ``sexing'' are and how the process works comprise the content of this strikingly perceptive book. . . . Butler has written a most significant and provocative work that addresses issues of immediate social concern."
