It shows how Butler's mode of reading tragedy-and, crucially, \u003ci\u003ereading tragically\u003c\/i\u003e-offers a distinctive ethico-political response to the harrowing dilemmas of our current moment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDeeply committed both to critical theory and political activism, Judith Butler is one of the most influential intellectuals today. Their ideas have touched the lives of many people, both readers and those who have never heard Butler's name. In encompassing gender performativity and sexual difference, vulnerability and precarity, disidentification and bodily interdependency, as well as the politics of protest, Butler's work is often predicated on a strong engagement with or proximity to Greek tragedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mario Telò\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Classical Receptions in Twentieth-Century Writing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350323421","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45246676762761,"sku":"9781350323421","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_453809c3-8af8-46df-8d89-a947c63ae8ab.jpg?v=1770701970","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/reading-greek-tragedy-with-judith-butler-9781350323421","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
