{"product_id":"judith-butler-and-film","title":"Judith Butler and Film","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt a time when the representational expansion of women and LGBTQIA+ people in media coincides with the rise of global “anti-gender” ideologies, Judith Butler’s writings on gender, precarity, and liveability hold new urgency. \u003ci\u003eJudith Butler and Film\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to examine the reciprocal relationship between Butler’s theories and cinema, situating film within the broader context of Butler’s philosophy and its interactions with popular media. Tracing the presence of film in Butler’s work – from \u003ci\u003eParis Is Burning\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBoys Don’t Cry\u003c\/i\u003e to Divine’s queer terrorism in John Waters’ films, and from Hollywood’s star system to documentaries featuring Butler – Gürbüz reveals cinema as both object and method of inquiry into Butlerian thought. Bringing this dialogue up to the present, the book branches into Butler’s 2024 bestseller \u003ci\u003eWho Is Afraid of Gender?\u003c\/i\u003e and their recent appearances in popular online media, underscoring the immediacy of Butler’s thought in today’s cultural landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoving beyond established frameworks in film theory while drawing on counter-cinema, trans* cinema discourse, and the psychic life of film, \u003ci\u003eJudith Butler and Film\u003c\/i\u003e repositions cinema as a potential site of embodied transformation and collective imagination—a medium through which egalitarian futures can be envisioned and felt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55499110285656,"sku":"9781350245709","price":97.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350245709_4abc68b8-ca0a-462f-ab95-de37e973de60.jpg?v=1777986029","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/judith-butler-and-film","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
