Judith Butler
philosopher · 11 mentions across 1 reading
In this course
Judith Butler is a poststructuralist theorist known for critiquing humanist assumptions about identity, agency, and the subject—work that the course readings invoke to challenge representationalist epistemologies and the nature-culture binary. Her analysis of how practices and power constitute "the human" appears here alongside discussions of agential realism and posthuman ontologies that seek to move beyond anthropocentric frameworks. Butler's decentering of the autonomous human subject enables arguments about distributed agency and the entanglement of matter, discourse, and materiality that are central to rethinking cybernetics and AI outside humanist paradigms.
