Inhaltsangabe

In this urgent response to violence, racism and increasingly aggressive methods of coercion, Judith Butler explores the media's portrayal of armed conflict, a process integral to how the West prosecutes its wars. In doing so, she calls for a reconceptualization of the Left, one united in opposition and resistance to the illegitimate and arbitrary effects of interventionist military action.

Críticas

"A trenchant and brilliant book." - Mike Rowe, Utne Reader "It's clear that its author is still interested in stirring up trouble-academic, political and otherwise." - Bookforum "Judith Butler is quite simply one of the most probing, challenging, and influential thinkers of our time." - J. M. Bernstein "Judith Butler is the most creative and courageous social theorist writing today. Frames of War is an intellectual masterpiece that weds a new understanding of being, immersed in history, to a novel Left politics that focuses on State violence, war and resistance." - Cornel West "An impressive and challenging book from one of the leading intellectuals of our time." - Diva
