The Psychic Life of Power by Judith Butler
Drawing upon Hegel, Nietzsche, Freud, Foucault and Althusser, this work offers a theory of subject formation that illuminates as ambivalent the psychic effects of social power.
"The emergence of self-consciousness is rooted in paradox—for becoming a subject is intricately bound up with being subjectedThis insight . . . is explored and developed as [Butler's] book unfolds, taking the reader through a tour de force of its rhetorical, linguistic, philosophical, psychoanalytic, and social and political implications." -- Modern Psychoanalysis
At the University of California, Berkeley, Judith Butler is the Maxine Elliot Professor of Rhetoric. Precarious Life: The Power of Grief and Violence (Verso, 2004) and Undoing Gender (Routledge, 2004) are her most recent books.
