DAVID-MENARD, Monique. The Institution of Living Bodies According to Judith Butler.Translated byMelina Balcázar Moreno. Acta poét [online]. 2017, vol.38, n.2, pp.35-52. ISSN 2448-735X.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ap.2017.2.799.

In this essay, Monique David-Ménard outlines the concept of the “living body” within the philosophy of Judith Butler, exploring relationships between the body itself and the cultural mechanisms that supress it. The author also observes the deconstructionist and psychoanalytic sources of Butler’s work, therefore showing the way these are interpreted from perspectives of a thought whose main axes are gender, culture and relationships of power.

Keywords : body; power; gender; deconstruction; psychoanalysis; feminism; Judith Butler.
