The focus of this week's readings are on the ethical "evolution" of Butler's work. I thought I would start an open thread to get us started thinking and reflecting. Here are a few questions:
- How does Butler describe/discuss/imagine ethics in these readings?
- What common themes do you see emerging in these essays?
- How do they fit/don't fit?
- Any particular passages that you want to read really closely on Tuesday?
Starting at 5:10, Butler reflects on themes that resurface throughout her work and how she's not interested in imagining her work as an [ethical] system. The entire video is available at Walter Library.
