Who's Afraid of Gender?

內容簡介

內容簡介 美國當代最具影響力女性主義與性別研究學者朱迪斯·巴特勒(Judith Butler)2024重磅新作一本極為重要的當代思想代表性著作。探討全球當前對性別的恐懼，如何散布與推動造就一波「反性別運動」。朱迪斯·巴特勒(Judith Butler)，在書中以當下時事為例，做深度探討；包括保守運動針對跨性別權利、墮胎權、和女性主義的反對和打壓...等。並呼籲被迫害的群體間，須建立聯盟、共同抵抗。這位具突破性思想的學者，其經典著作《性別惑亂》(Gender Trouble)曾經重新定義了我們世代對性別與性取向的認知(gender and sexuality)。此次，她則欲面對那些以性別攻擊為訴求的右翼運動。此些運動目前漸漸在全球匯聚成一股串聯的勢力，鼓吹「反性別意識形態運動」。它們主要在散布一種論述，聲稱性別(gender)是一種對家庭、本土文化、文明，甚至是男性本身構成威脅的危險、一種邪惡的力量。在公眾人物煽動性言論的推動下，這一運動致力廢除生育正義、意欲削弱大眾對性和性別暴力(sexual and gender violence)的抵抗；並剝奪跨性別和酷兒群體追求無懼暴力生活的權利。《誰害怕性別？》的目的並非提出一種新的性別理論。而是要探討「性別」如何成為新興威權政權、法西斯形態、和排斥跨性別及女性主義者們的工具。巴特勒在書中指出，反性別運動如何聚集並轉移焦慮和恐懼、並進一步帶來毀滅性的影響。藉著批判性種族理論的不實訊息、及對移民的仇外恐懼，兩者交互作用下；反性別運動將爭取平等的人們妖魔化、並助長侵略性民族主義，使數百萬人陷入被壓迫的危險之中。性別，作為當代最棘手的問題之一，我們有必要進一步理解各種論述的運作、並積極介入。《誰害怕性別？》是一個大膽的呼籲。希冀帶領所有為平等、不公而奮鬥的人們，討論結成自由與廣泛聯盟的可能。巴特勒為讀者提供一部充滿希望的社會與政治分析著作；其既是對當代趨勢的探討，又是一部跨時代的人類思想經典。這是一本只有巴特勒能夠呈現、充滿活力與學術嚴謹的作品。From a global icon, a bold, essential account of how a fear of gender is fueling reactionary politics around the world.Judith Butler, the groundbreaking thinker whose iconic book Gender Trouble redefined how we think about gender and sexuality, confronts the attacks on “gender” that have become central to right-wing movements today. Global networks have formed “anti-gender ideology movements” that are dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous, perhaps diabolical, threat to families, local cultures, civilization―and even “man” himself. Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures, this movement has sought to nullify reproductive justice, undermine protections against sexual and gender violence, and strip trans and queer people of their rights to pursue a life without fear of violence.The aim of Who’s Afraid of Gender? is not to offer a new theory of gender but to examine how “gender” has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes, fascist formations, and transexclusionary feminists. In their vital, courageous new book, Butler illuminates the concrete ways that this phantasm of “gender” collects and displaces anxieties and fears of destruction. Operating in tandem with deceptive accounts of “critical race theory” and xenophobic panics about migration, the anti-gender movement demonizes struggles for equality, fuels aggressive nationalism, and leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation.An essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment, Who’s Afraid of Gender? is a bold call to refuse the alliance with authoritarian movements and to make a broad coalition with all those whose struggle for equality is linked with fighting injustice. Imagining new possibilities for both freedom and solidarity, Butler offers us a hopeful work of social and political analysis that is both timely and timeless―a book whose verve and rigor only they could deliver.

各界推薦

各界推薦 "This is the most accessible of their books so far, an intervention meant for a wide audience . . . Because Butler is a human rights activist, as well as a theorist, the urgent point conveyed by this book is the same as it is in all their work: why are so many people seemingly happy to give away their power to increasingly authoritarian forces? And why are they so confident that this power will never be used against them?" ―Finn McKay, The Guardian"A clarifying exploration of how we got here and a clarion call for different, less fearful, less cramped ways of thinking about the world. With their signature critical focus on what we think of as ‘natural’ and ‘artificial’, Butler pins down the history behind the contemporary cultural battle over gender, exploring how gender fear markets itself as protection, crusade, and panacea – and why it won’t cure anything." ―Eli Cugini, Dazed"The urgency of Butler’s subject is evident at the level of tone and form. Largely free of specialized language or complicated syn­tax, it is the most accessible book they have published . . . Butler foregoes conventions of schol­arly engagement and avoids detours into specialized debates for the sake of a clear, consistent appeal: to create a world in which everyone can live, breathe, move, and love without fear of discrim­ination and violence." ―Paisley Currah, The Yale Review“A brilliant writer and thinker, Butler . . . offers a long-needed text clarifying confusion by design . . . Their newest offering is urgent, returning breathable air into a toxic cloud . . . The result is exhilarating and life-changing.” ―Booklist (starred review)"[A] trenchant polemic . . . Thoughtful and powerfully assured, this is an essential take on an ongoing political battle." ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)"A wonderfully thoughtful and impassioned book on a critically important centerpiece of contemporary authoritarianism and patriarchy. A master class in how gender has been weaponized in support of conservative values and authoritarian regimes.” ―Kirkus Reviews
