Description
This book by the prominent political and feminist theorist Judith Butler examines contemporary wars and asks which lives we do and do not grieve. If a life is not regarded as one that will be mourned, it becomes easier to accept its destruction. Butler addresses an audience in the “first world” that identifies with democratic values and human and civil rights. Why is it acceptable to wage wars or exercise domination over others? How can we respond to the demand for nonviolence? Written in Czech, the book is based on Butler’s conviction that every person’s life is always, to some extent, in the hands of others.
