Judith Butler: Live Theory is an invaluable introduction to the work of this key contemporary theorist,
guiding the student through the most complex ideas of one of the most influential thinkers in contemporary
culture. Concise, accessible and comprehensive, the book explores and illuminates Butler's important and
ongoing contributions to gender theory, offers new insights into the central themes of her work, and considers the extent of her impact on how the discipline of gender studies has been shaped.
In particular the book considers Butler's intellectual work in relation to issues of sexuality and performance,
identity and politics, language and power - themes central to Butler's thought and writing. Vicki Kirby
locates Butler in the context of contemporary theorists and thinkers and the book includes a new interview
with Butler herself, in which she discusses the key themes in her work as well as future writing plans.
Offering a stimulating and clear account of the work and thought of this inspiring figure, Judith Butler: Live
Theory is a key resource for anyone studying this pioneering thinker within the context of sociology, cultural
studies, literary criticism, feminism and philosophy.
