The first to use Judith Butler's work as a reading of how the legal
subject is formed, this book traces how Butler comes to the themes
of ethics, law and politics analyzing their interrelation and
explaining how they relate to Butler's question of how people can
have more liveable and viable lives.
Acknowledging the potency and influence of Butler's 'concept' of
gender as process, which occupies a well developed and well
discussed position in current literature, Elena Loizidou argues
that the possibility of people having more liveable and viable
lives is articulated by Butler within the parameters of a sustained
agonistic relationship between the three spheres of ethics, law and
politics.
Suggesting that Butler's rounded understanding of the
interrelationship of these three spheres will enable critical legal
scholarship, as well as critical theory more generally, to consider
how the question of life's unsustainable conditions can be
rethought and redressed, this book is a key read for all students
of legal ethics, political philosophy and social theory.
