Critical Connections

Butler and Ethics
edited by Moya Lloyd


Judith Butler is best known for Gender Trouble (1990), the book that introduced the idea of gender performativity. However, with the publication of Giving an Account of Oneself in 2005, it appeared as if her work had taken a different turn. This collection of 10 essays offers a sustained evaluation of that alleged ethical turn.
