The pandemic compels us to ask fundamental questions about our place in the world: the many ways humans rely on one another, how we vitally and sometimes fatally breathe the same air, share the surfaces of the earth, and exist in proximity to other porous creatures in order to live in a social world. What we require to live can also imperil our lives. How do we think from, and about, this common bind?
Judith Butler shows how COVID-19 and all its consequences-political, social, ecological, economic-have challenged us to reconsider the sense of the world that such disasters bring about. Drawing on the work of Max Scheler, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and critical feminist phenomenology, Butler illuminates the conditions in which we seek to make sense of our disorientation, precarity, and social bonds. What World Is This? offers a new account of interdependency in which touching and breathing, capacities that amid a viral outbreak can threaten life itself, challenge the boundaries of the body and selfhood. Criticizing notions of unlimited personal liberty and the killing forces of racism, sexism, and classism, this book suggests that the pandemic illuminates the potential of shared vulnerabilities as well as the injustice of pervasive inequalities.

One of the most dangerous people in the world. A generation is lost because of her crazy writings.

Thank you for the upload! (: (btw, I’m not sure if you’re are aware, but books are meant to be in m4a, while mp3 is best for music. M4a carries info on chapters, whole mp3 is unable to carry that kind of info).
Trunte: Butler is indeed one of the most dangerous people in the world, but only for you and people like you. For me and people like me, this is knowledge for which we are thankful. I wonder why the hate though. Difference given the complexity of it all is a given. You can refuse Butler’s argumnts (thoug you need to understand them first), but you can’t assume followers of such logic to be a lost generation. That’s condescendence coming from a point of ignorance. Know yourself please. And please read more and get better at being just (we never are, but one tries incredibly hard). For me, I’ll do the same.

A phenomenology of hypochondria. The work of Judith Butler is a perfect example of how ineffectual critical theory becomes when it’s spearheaded by identity politics. Back to political economy, enough of this pathological obsession with vulnerability.
