Ruby (herzschlag) | 19 comments Discussion and group reads for Judith Butler.

Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_B...

After being taught her theory countless of times, I figured 2015 would be the year in which I would move beyond the introduction of Bodies That Matter: On the Discursive Limits of "Sex" and I'd actually read Gender Trouble.

Anyone who wants to join me? I was thinking of reading this over the summer, starting in June or something.

Yolande  (sirus) Strangely, I was looking over my library and was wondering if Judith Butler would make an appearance on here :) I own Gender Trouble and wouldn't mind participating. June would be fine to start for me.

Ruby (herzschlag) | 19 comments That's great, Yolande! June is still far away so I'm just going to wait and see if others will join us before I add the book etc.


Literary Multitudes (literary_multitudes) | 60 comments I'll definitely try and join in reding "Gender Trouble", has been on my tbr since university, but I never got round to reading it.
Will be nice to read it this year, when I also plan to join in the reading of "The Second Sex" - finally. :)


Rambling Reader (ramblingreader) Count me in! June would be a great time to delve into Judith Butler.

Ruby (herzschlag) | 19 comments Great! I'll add it to the shelves then and make an additional thread for the discussion. We can figure out a schedule when we get a bit closer to June :)

Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments Hmm, all this feminist reading is winking, so now just to find the time...

Ruby (herzschlag) | 19 comments hey everyone! I'm still up for reading this, but the end of this semester is a bit more intense than I expected so I wouldn't be able to start until June 25 or something. so we could either do that if people are still interested, or you could just start 1 June and I'll join you later :)


Literary Multitudes (literary_multitudes) | 60 comments I definitely want to read it and will try to start it as soon as possible (whith the 50 other books I'm reading at the same time... ;) ). I had planned to get to it the first or second week of June probably.
But I'll be up for discussion of it later in June, too! :)
(And knowing me and my never keeping up with any schedule I might only start later anyway...)
Looking forward to this one!
