Notes Toward a Performative Theory of Assembly
Author(s): Judith Butler
Philosophy, Politics & Current Affairs
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 precarity-destruction of the conditions of livability-is a galvanizing force and theme in today's highly visible protests.
