The Butler Did it? Butler's "Gender Trouble"
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Talia and Emma discuss one of the worst-written books they've had to cover: Judith Butler's Gender Trouble. It is considered a landmark text of the so-called third wave of feminism, but is it all it's cracked up to be? Given that it kicked off queer theory, it certainly got a few things wrong. Join us as Talia walks Emma through the good, the bad, and the paradigm-shifting aspects of Judith Butler's seminal work.
