An Afternoon with Judith Butler:
On the Pandemic and Our Shared World
Discussion with Marianna Hirsch, Mia Florin-Sefton, & Rishi K. Goyal
Jerome Greene Hall (Columbia Law School), Room 101
435 W. 116th Street, NYC
In this new book What World Is This? A Pandemic Phenomenology, Judith Butler offers a new account of interdependency in which touching and breathing, capacities that amid a viral outbreak can threaten life itself, challenge the boundaries of the body and selfhood. Exposing and opposing forms of injustice that deny the essential interrelationship of living creatures, Butler argues for a radical social equality and advocates modes of resistance that seek to establish new conditions of livability and a new sense of a shared world.
