Description

Explore the complex relationship between language and power in Judith Butler's Excitable Speech: A Politics of the Performative. This Routledge Classics edition examines how words can cause harm and the nature of linguistic violence. Butler analyzes debates regarding hate speech, pornography, and the role of gayness within the US military to show how speech functions within social structures. Butler argues that speech is excitable and fluid. Because the effects of language are often shaped by context, power, and fantasy, they frequently remain beyond the direct control of the speaker. This work offers a deep look into how linguistic claims are made and the impact of performative language in modern society.
