DESHACIENDO DISCONTINUIDADES. UNA APROXIMACIO´N FILOSO´FICA Y NO RUPTURISTA DE LAS ETAPAS DE JUDITH BUTLER.

Abstract

In a more approximate way than exhaustive, this article analyzes the Judith Butler's most significant texts in order to offer a non-groundbreaking vision of her work. The so-called two stages of the performative philosophy may be understood as two moments that, though distinguishable, are permeated by the same purpose; the first texts have already shown this purpose, namely, countering the phenomenon of the oppression by means of the widening or dilation, of the concept of humanity. A dilation that emerges when we reject the traditional and hierarchic binary oppositions and that turns the recognition into a vital need. Here is the main theme that, beyond the theoretical displacements, it harmonizes with the philosophy of Butler.
