e d REMEMBERING JACQUES DERRIDA ADDITIONAL LETTERS TO THE NEW YORK TIMES SIGN MEMORIAL PAGE HERE LETTER BY JUDITH BUTLER TO THE NEW YORK TIMES October 13, 2004 To the Editors of the NY Times: Jonathan Kandell's vitriolic and disparaging obituary of Jacques Derrida takes the occasion of this accomplished philosopher's death to re-wage a culture war that has surely passed its time. Why would the New York Times assign the obituary to someone whose polemics are so unrestrained and intellectual limitations so obvious? There are reasonable disagreements to have with Derrida's work, but there were none to be found in Kandell's obituary. If Derrida's contributions to philosophy, literary criticism, the theory of painting, communications, ethics, and politics made him into the most internationally renowned European intellectual during these times, it is because of the precision of his thought, the way his thinking always took a brilliant and unanticipated turn, and because of the constant effort to reflect on moral and political responsibility. Kandell reports that Derrida disparaged the classics and jettisoned notions of truth, but Derrida made his name through reading Plato and Rousseau, among others, and anyone who has read his work in the last years know that questions of truth, of meaning, of life and death - the perennial questions of philosophy - are the ones that claimed him most. This most outrageous obituary fails to demean Derrida only because his work will continue to be read unabated, but it does cast a shadow on those who wrote and published it. Why would the NY Times want to join ranks with American reactionary anti-intellectualism precisely at a time when critical thinking is most urgently required?

23. Martha Nussbaum And Judith Butler In her article The Professor of Parody, Martha Nussbaum attacks the writings of judith butler on two levels that are important to my argument.1 She argues http://xroads.virginia.edu/~MA01/Cober/mathesis/nussbaum.html

Martha Nussbaum Some criticism shows concerns similar to the ones I present throughout this website. In her article "The Professor of Parody," Martha Nussbaum attacks the writings of Judith Butler on two levels that are important to my argument. She argues, first, that Judith Butler utilizes professional jargon to make her work appear novel, despite the similar work that came before it. Second, she states that Butler's work reveals a disengagement from the non-academic world. Her first type of attack concerns Butler's use of language, and while she does not argue exactly along the same lines that I The real danger of Butler's work, Nussbaum continues, is its distance from lived experience. She writes, "The great tragedy in the new feminist theory in America is the loss of a sense of public commitment.... Hungry women are not fed by this, battered women are not sheltered by it, raped women do not find justice in it, gays and lesbians do not achieve legal protections through it." Butler's work, then, demonstrates a removal of scholarship from context. I am not suggesting that Judith Butler has not thought about her individual context. Certainly her awareness of her gender and sexual preference have influenced her thought, but she is detached (at least in Nussbaum's terms) from her relation to her society. I do argue that Butler does not constructively draw on the actual situation around her. In some instances, this problem may simply be academical, but here it displays a failure to be culturally significant.

Winter 1997 Volume 23, Number 2 Excerpt from Sovereign Performatives in the Contemporary Scene of Utterance by Judith Butler What happens when we seek recourse to the state to regulate such speech? In particular, how is the regulatory power of the state enhanced through such an appeal? This is, perhaps, a familiar argument that I hope to make in a less than familiar way. My concern is not only with the protection of civil liberties against the incursion of the state, but with the peculiar discursive power given to the state through the process of legal redress. Judith Butler is professor of rhetoric and comparative speech at the University of California at Berkeley. Author of Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity (1990) and Bodies That Matter: On the Discursive Limits of "Sex" (1993), she just completed Excitable Speech , which will appear in 1997.

Armour and Susan M. St. Ville Read the introduction to Bodily Citations: Religion and Judith Butler Bodily Citations "Critically engaged with the work of Judith Butler, the essays in this fascinating volume offer creatively queer readings of the Bible, vital supplements to church doctrine, and original theories of ritual. This collection is exciting, timely, and provocative." "The lively and incisively intelligent essays in this volume offer a lucid account of the key notions in Judith Butler's thought-among them, subjectivity, performativity, abjection, agency, resistance, subversion, and the materializing power of the body. But not only do the authors engage and apply these notions to a variety of debates in religious communities across the world; they also critically assess them, and every one of these original studies has profound implications for the future viability of sex, gender, queer, and feminist theory." Women in Tibet: Past and Present 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.

It's praise of Judith Butler, handwritten and in a mixture of very simple and very sophisticated language. It is quite touching and quite impressive, as I find it speaks of a revelation which is more than an intellectual awakening, it is a physical recognition as well. The first lines translate to: We really appreciate Judith Butler She is marvellous and very wise! Her books “Gender Trouble” and “Bodies that Matter” have become the theoretical fundament of the queer theory/queer movement. The reason I remembered to post this today is because I am reading/writing about subversion, and then of course I can't get past Judith Butler.

Jennifer Cotter TEXT AND CLASS Righting the Left Amrohini Sahay D'Souza and the Narcosis of Historical Consciousness Mas'ud Zavarzadeh ... Main In her essay, "Guantánamo Limbo", ( The Nation , April 1, 2002), Judith Butler argues for the development of a more "nuanced" and "ethical" theory of international human rights. "Nuanced" and "ethical" are code words on the contemporary academic left for a subtle form of opportunism that textualizes the existing conditions and demonstrates their intricate layeredness but after many interpretive twists arrives at a verdict that legitimizes the ruling power structures in a new rhetoric. Judith Butler has not only mastered this technique, but has helped popularize it into a new form of red-baiting against those who dare to question the priority of rhetoric over class (a questioning she rejects out-of-hand as "left conservatism").

High points: Butler walks through an art gallery discussing photographs by Cindy Sherman, who is one of my favorite photographers. She points out how Sherman's images critique gender categories and norms, and her comments are illuminative. Butler also talks about violence and hate crimes, and while I was always convinced that the whole "Judith Butler doesn't pay enough attention to what's happening

40. Butler Response by judith butler. BERKELEY, Calif.—In the last few years, a small, judith butler is a professor of rhetoric and comparative literature at the University http://www.gse.buffalo.edu/FAS/Bromley/classes/theory/Butler_response.htm

New York Times Op-Ed March 20, 1999 by Judith Butler No doubt, scholars in the humanities should be able to clarify how their work informs and illuminates everyday life. Equally, however, such scholars are obliged to question common sense, interrogate its tacit presumptions and provoke new ways of looking at a familiar world. If common sense sometimes preserves the social status quo, and that status quo sometimes treats unjust social hierarchies as natural, it makes good sense on such occasions to find ways of challenging common sense. Language that takes up this challenge can help point the way to a more socially just world. The contemporary tradition of critical theory in the academy, derived in part from the Frankfurt School of German anti-fascist philosophers and social critics, has shown how language plays an important role in shaping and altering our common or "natural" understanding of social and political realities. The philosopher Theodor W. Adorno, who maintained that nothing radical could come of common sense, wrote sentences that made his readers pause and reflect on the power of language to shape the world. A sentence of his such as "Man is the ideology of dehumanization" is hardly transparent in its meaning. Adorno maintained that the way the word "man" was used by some of his contemporaries was dehumanizing. The accused then responds that "if what he says could be said in terms of ordinary language he would probably have done so in the first place." Understanding what the critical intellectual has to say, Marcuse goes on, "presupposes the collapse and invalidation of precisely that universe of discourse and behavior into which you want to translate it."
