In such works as "Gender Trouble" and "Bodies That Matter"
Judith Butler broke new ground in understanding the construction
and performance of identities. While Butler's writings have been
crucial and often controversial in the development of feminist and
queer theory, "Bodily Citations" is the first anthology centered on
applying her theories to religion. In this collection scholars in
anthropology, biblical studies, theology, ethics, and ritual
studies use Butler's work to investigate a variety of topics in
biblical, Islamic, Buddhist, and Christian traditions. The authors
shed new light on Butler's ideas and highlight their ethical and
political import. They also broaden the scope of religious studies
as they bring it into conversation with feminist and queer
theory.
Subjects discussed include the woman's mosque movement in Cairo,
the ordination of women in the Catholic Church, the possibility of
queer ethics, religious ritual, and biblical constructions of
sexuality.
