Summary: Bringing together a group of internationally renowned theorists, the volume asks: has there been an 'ethical turn' in Butlers work or are we seeing the culmination of ethical ideas in her earlier work? How do her ethics relate to her politics, and how do they connect to her increasing concern with violence, war and conflict? Breaking new ground in Butler scholarship, Butler and Ethics advances ongoing debates about materiality and the body, bio-politics, affect theory, precariousness and subjectification. https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/butler-and-ethics/8E46EB90E467D02EDAD75EEC4714A69F#fndtn-information
