In terms that draw from feminist and queer theory, Butler considers the norms that govern--and fail to govern--gender and sexuality as they relate to the constraints on recognizable personhood. The book constitutes a reconsideration of her earlier view on gender performativity from Gender Trouble. In this work, the critique of gender norms is clearly situated within the framework of human persistence and survival. And to do one's gender in certain ways sometimes implies undoing dominant notions of personhood. She writes about the New Gender Politics that has emerged in recent years, a combination of movements concerned with transgender, transsexuality, intersex, and their complex relations to feminist and queer theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Though Butler has published pleanty...it's her most recent book, \u003cem\u003eUndoing Gender\u003c\/em\u003e, that's done me in once again...[It is] perhaps Butler's most accessible work.\"--\u003cem\u003eHerIzons,\u003c\/em\u003e Winter 2006, Vol 19 No 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUndoing Gender","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018218766679,"sku":"9780415969239","price":41.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780415969239.jpg?v=1750776055","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/undoing-gender-9780415969239","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
