    Easy to upvote the headline but I would encourage people to read the whole interview, it was fantastic. Very insightful thoughts on a wide variety of topics. I’ve never ready any of their works but now I’m very interested to check them out.

      short crash course by philosphy tube about judith butler:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVilpxowsUQ

      TL;DW: butler isn’t exactly easy to read, but has extremely interesting stuff to say; just uses very technical language to make her points, which sometimes confuses the layperson…but still worth reading, just maybe take more breaks than usual to really digest the content and expect the read to take longer than the page count would suggest and you’ll do fine ;)

        Thanks, this will be a good starting point. There is a limit to my tolerance for impenetrable writing so I guess I’ll see how I feel about the style.
