For this reason, her antifoundationalism appears as a critical practice that seeks not only to rethink the political \u2013 along with genders, bodies, subjects and agency \u2013 but also, and most importantly, to theorize alternatives to identity politics in terms of coalition building. This concern has become increasingly explicit in her responses to the 9\/11 events \u2013 from <em>Precarious Life<\/em> (2004) to <em>Frames of War<\/em> (2010) in which she suggests to consider shared human precarity as \u201ca promising site for coalition exchange\u201d and for rights-claiming.<br \/>\nFollowing Judith Butler\u2019s intellectual journey, the present lecture will present some of the objectives and results of the book coedited with Cynthia Kraus: <em>Politics of Coalition? Thinking Collective Action with Judith Butler<\/em> (2016) where contemporary manners to \u201cthink\u201d, \u201cget political\u201d, and build new and transformative \u201ccoalitions\u201d (within and beyond feminism) are explored.<\/p>\n<p>\u261b Prior registration required\uff08Admission Free\uff09 Registration Form<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 10pt;\">*Closed Seminar, Ochadai students only<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Organizer: Institute for Gender Studies<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","events_category":[122],"class_list":["post-1199","events","type-events","status-publish","hentry","events_category-events-2018"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.igs.ocha.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/1199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.igs.ocha.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.igs.ocha.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/events"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www2.igs.ocha.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"events_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www2.igs.ocha.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events_category?post=1199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
