Judith Butler has made important contributions in many areas. These contributions concern not only the deconstruction or construction of the social category of gender, but also subject formation, war and peace, hatred and violence, and much more. Have you heard of Butler but never read anything by her? Or do you think that her work has nothing to do with history? We will examine and discuss various texts by Judith Butler, as well as works from the field of history that engage with Butler.
