#precariouslife

The point I would like to underscore here is that a frame for understanding violence emerges in tandem with experience. And this frame works to both preclude certain kinds of questions, and certain kinds of historical inquiries and to function as a moral justification for retaliation. - Judith Butler on Precarious Lives ... The rise of moralistic anti intellectualism precludes perhaps the most central question which, under such a framework, might be.. who’s life is worth living? Who’s life matters? Why did you think retaliation was acceptable? #judithbutler #womensstudies101 #queertheory #homonationalism #precariouslife #criticalinquiry https://www.instagram.com/p/CD-kBXvnw3o/?igshid=1vr6bistu9n4x

Hey dudes, here is the link the recording I just made of chapter 2 from Judith Butler’s book, Precarious Life. The chapter is titled Violence, Mourning, Politics. And here is a PDF of the entire book, if you would like to follow along (it makes it a touch more comprehensible).  https://programaddssrr.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/butler-judith-precarious-life.pdf

Enjoy! I will be posting the rest of The Bell Jar in increments throughout the next week or so, and I will be reading something new this Sunday at 10pm.
