Notes Toward a Performative Theory of Assembly (Mary Flexner Lectures of Bryn Mawr College Book 3)

Judith Butler elucidates the dynamics of public assembly under prevailing economic and political conditions. Understanding assemblies as plural forms of performative action, she extends her theory of performativity to show why precarityâ€”destruction of the conditions of livabilityâ€”is a galvanizing force and theme in todayâ€™s highly visible protests.
