Abstract

For a number of years the gender theorist Judith Butler has been increasingly concerned with topics related to political ethics. The three texts in the slim volume contain her ideas of pacifism and her thoughts prompted by the Iraq war as well as on burkas or the universal import of human rights. These texts are, however, not always as original or even convincing as Butler’s groundbreaking gender theoretical models of the first half of the 1990s.
