Judith Butler and Marxism - The Radical Feminism of Performativity, Vulnerability, and Care

Judith Butler and Marxism invites leading scholars to discuss the absences in both Butler and Marxism, and the ways in which each satisfies the other.

Judith Butler and Marxism offers a practical politics of Butlerian performativity, vulnerability, and care, while giving the first full theoretical account of the critical intersections binding Butler and Marxism.
