      Judith Butler's work on gender, sexuality, identity, and the body has proved massively influential across a range of academic disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. It is also notoriously difficult to access. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Butler's work, plus a critical examination of it and its precursors, both feminist (including Simone de Beauvoir, Monique Wittig, Julia Kristeva and Luce Irigaray), and non-feminist (including Erving Goffman, Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, and Jacques Derrida). Topics covered include: gender as performance and performativity; sociological notions of performance; the materiality of the body and the role of biology; power, identity and social regulation; Butler's shifting relation to psychoanalysis; melancholia and gender identity; performativity and "race"; subjectivity, agency and feminist political practice; social change and transformation.
