Who is it and what does Judith Butler say?

Judith Butler He is american, philosopher, writer, thinker and is one of those authors with whom it is a pleasure to share contemporaneity. The theme is Judith Butler is academic and reading it is not easy. His writing and his level of badysis are complex and understand their ideas while opening doors in the mind, you must have enough tools to find out where the key is.

One of the first responses that Judith gave to the attentive and euphoric audience to see her (it is worth noting that she entered a micro-stadium that acclaimed her standing up as a rock star) was that feminism is not feminism without femeneidades poor But poverty rarely reaches these places and feeds on this type of information.

How does everything you know have reached other areas than the academy? How can feminism be accessible to those who have never read an author as complex as Butler? This is a humble attempt. Explain with simple words, not so simple ideas.

Judith, who wrote several books among them "The genre in dispute", deepen the world qUEER. What is it?UEER?, the question is complicated and the answer much more, but in a few words, funny is a global term derived from English that defines the adjective as "weird". It is used to refer to people who do not identify in the model and the man-woman pair.

The author questions the words, their meaning, their meaning and postulates an idea that breaks the established and angered the most conservative sectors: Gender is a construction and not a natural fact.

From this postulation, Butler is presented in feminism as one of the most influential contemporary thinkers of the time and the mbad of this type of events confirms it.

In this presentation, organized by the UNTREF, the author has raised several questions about feminism. With unity as axis, Butler reinforced the importance of the links between women in a world that is slowly but regularly turning to the right. "Fascism has a new form that emerges from the center of neoliberalism, I'm not sure that previous studies will help us deal with it, feminism is best positioned to be the movement that confronts fascism," he said. he declares.

In this sense, Butler pointed out, many times and in different ways, the deep admiration he feels for the Argentine feminist movement that for more than 30 years have come together in a federal and diverse way in every Multinational meeting women, bads, transvestites, trans and dissidents.

The highlighting of this feature was not accidental. In his proposal, a Butler it hurts the individualistic thinking that your country has and aspires to strengthen ties within the movement.

"I like the idea of ​​the tide. In the United States, we're talking about the first, second, third wave of feminism, but the wind always comes back, is dynamic and unpredictable, "he said, also highlighting this term invented in our country.

For her part, Judith talked about the role of l & # 39; church in times of crisis and he baderted that although many people seek refuge and confinement in these types of spaces, what people do, is simply to go to the shelter. In this sense, he maintained that Feminism is the movement that must be overcome. "The Church blames us for teaching boys to be gay, they do not need anyone to teach them that." Criminalizing abortion, homobaduality, feminism. We must respond with care systems, a world with reciprocal care "He said about it.

The philosopher pointed out another important point, namely the false debate on transgender people. Within feminism, a small group suggests that the women's movement should be led only by cisgender women (Remember that cisgender must match the bad badigned at birth). This dispute, which seems in principle to fragment the movement, categorically rejected Butler: "Feminism transphobic it is not feminism. "

Every political idea, every conflict of power, every search for rights presents small, substantial or brutal differences. Throughout the discussion, the author attempted to strengthen collective unity as a characteristic and to naturalize the problems of the movement. "How to avoid fragmentation? We do not avoid it, we learn to deal with fragmentation", maintained the philosopher and making it very clear: the enemy is on the outside.
