Judith Butler and Fina Birulés

Shared Life

Debate

Judith Butler and Fina Birulés, in a conversation moderated by Matías Sirczuk, talk about the genealogy of their thought and the shared readings that have influenced their work.

From Wittig and Merleau-Ponty to Lévinas and Arendt, Judith Butler’s work draws on a philosophical legacy that the thinker has reinterpreted and questioned from the present to weave together new frameworks for understanding life. On the occasion of the publication of the book Judith Butler (Katz editores/Eudeba, 2022), we will delve into the readings that have influenced Butler’s work, and which are shared references for the philosopher Fina Birulés, and we will trace some of the common conceptual threads that characterise their thought: interdependence, vulnerability, and the ethics of non-violence, among others.

The session will start with the projection of the short 'Present', which is part of the project "A Vocabulary for the Future". Written by Fina Birulés and Lorena Fuster, directed by Lur Olaizola (duration: 8').

Moderators: Matías Sirczuk
