In ____Bodies That Matter,__ Judith Butler further develops her distinctive theory of gender by examining the workings of power at the most "material" dimensions of sex and sexuality. Deepening the inquiries she began in _Gender_ _Trouble,_ Butler offers an original reformulation of the materiality of bodies, examining how the power of heterosexual hegemony forms the "matter" of bodies, sex, and gender. Butler argues that power operates to constrain "sex" from the start, delimiting what counts as a viable sex. She offers (...) |

Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural, 'essential' notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category 'woman' and continues in this vein with examinations of 'the masculine' and 'the feminine'.

"An Invitation to Critical Sociology is an eloquent introduction to some of the crucial issues in contemporary society. Linking the works of three prominent classical sociologists, George Herbert Mead, Karl Marx, and Max Weber, Hansen presents the central theme of critical sociology -- the nature of individual consciousness and its relations to society. The central ideas and issues addressed by these men are examined in terms of involvement, criticism, and exploration, the elements of critical sociology. Concerned with the fare of (...) |
