Judith Butler Honorary Doctorate Address

[The Feral Underclass]

I didn't quite know where to put this, so I am putting it here. It is Judith Butler's address at McGill university where she is accepting an honorary degree.

A friend of mine thinks that it is a direct attack on the pro-Israeli occupation lobby who objected to her receiving the degree.

In any case, regardless of the big fuck you, what she is saying is beautiful and inspiring in my view.

I can't get linked videos on mobile but Judith Butler is really cool, her and Zizek are like "theoretical enemies" and she has good criticisms of him.

NOTE: her notion of gender performativity and people being libidinally-invested in their own exploitation is also insightful
