This book contextualises philosophy by bringing Judith Butler's
critique of identity into dialogue with an analysis of the
transgressive self in dramatic literature. The author draws on
Butler's reflections on human agency and subjectivity to offer a
fresh perspective for understanding the political and ethical
stakes of identity as formed within a complex web of relations with
human and non-human others. The book first positions a detailed
analysis of Butler's theory of subject formation within a broader
framework of feminist philosophy and then incorporates examples and
case studies from dramatic literature to argue that the subject is
formed in relation to external forces, yet within its formation
lies a space for transgressing the same environments and relations
that condition the subject's existence. By virtue of a fundamental
dependency on conditions and relations that bring human beings into
existence, they emerge as political and ethical agents capable of
resisting the formative forces of power and responding - ethically
- to the call of others.
