Famous for her theory of gender her wide-ranging work explored such themes as language, power, recognition, vulnerability, mourning, and grievability, revolutions, democratic movements, and resistance. This book provides an overview of Butler’s rich scholarship and utilizes selected examples to present opportunities for a theological approach to her work. Of particular interest in this regard are the clear parallels between Butler’s thought and progressive theologies, such as Liberation Theology or the New Political Theology founded by Johann Baptist Metz. With attention to Butlers Jewish background, this unique interdisciplinary investigation bridges Butler’s thought, political philosophy, and Christian theology. Judith Butler and Theology considers how the reflections and insights of this critical intellectual can help set a constructive theology for the challenges of our century.GendertheorievulnerabilityNew Political Theoryhate speechprophetic critiqueSubjektsubjectBefreiungstheorieliberation theoryrecognition theoryGendertheorievulnerabilityNew Political Theoryhate speechprophetic critiqueSubjektsubjectBefreiungstheorieliberation theoryrecognition theory261.835Riedl Anna Mariaaut1837018MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910964585303321Judith Butler and Theology4415309UNINA
