- Title
Um olhar sobre os rostos da Palestina: notas introdutórias à filosofia política de Judith Butler.
- Authors
Boff, Almerindo A.
- Abstract
Judith Butler was initially recognized for her positioning in the field of gender studies. In the last decades her work has consistently addressed themes of political philosophy, including her theoretical perspectives on contemporary Zionist movement and the State of Israel, made in the company of the reflections of Walter Benjamin, Hanna Arendt and Emmanuel Lévinas, among others. This article initially summarizes some of these reflections, and then uses them to address approximations from the thinking of Butler and Lévinas. These reflections are then taken to highlight important aspects of her thinking in the realms of ontology, of the relationships between ethics and the constitution of the subject, and of the relationships between plurality, performativity, multiculturalism and social activism.
