Bodies that matter : on the discursive limits of "sex"

Butler, Judith

Bodies that matter : on the discursive limits of "sex" - New York Routledge 2011.

In Bodies That Matter, renowned theorist and philosopher Judith Butler argues that theories of gender need to return to the most "material" dimension of sex and sexuality: the body. Butler offers a brilliant reworking of the body, examining how the power of heterosexual hegemony forms the "matter" of bodies, sex, and gender.
