摘要:The postulation of a social-corporal ontology in the latest period of Judith Butler’s intellectual trajectory (2010) lies in a double displacement. On the one hand, it captures a conception of materiality that does not, and could not, split the body from the social meanings it assumes. On the other, as a corollary of the first displacement and perhaps even more significant, Butler provokes a deviation from the classical assumption of ontological individualism in the form of a critique of the sovereign subject. Upholded in this double displacement, the sociocorporal ontology enables us to think political action as a performative act. The latest implies reviewing two central notions in Butler’s ontology: the concept of frames (and the possibility of framing them) and the notion of precariousness as a way of understanding bodies always in alliance.
