Judith Butler: Part 2/6

[@Marinucas]

Arte is a german-french collaboration (every 20th century brits nightmare). And this one was clearly aired in France, hence all the french subtitles.

[@KateChenglovesjesus]

thank you so much for posting these videos!!

[@HolyKatana]

Her German's really good. Certainly puts mine to shame. I can't even speak French at all, although I'd like to learn it.

[@mamikuros]

It's interesting to listen to how this pioneer grew up.

[@ILOVEFASSBINDER]

Nice !

[@weknowwhereyousleep]

good job! thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!

[@plagasul]

I am spanish, when we want to write a laugh, instead of writing "hahaha" we do write "jajaja". That tends to confuse people, but i keep forgetting that.

[@wconex]

I think Butler is a real hero; a profound thinker. Her work has certainly helped me develop my understanding of the world. Isn't there a strange irony in her response to the young woman in the 'no pants' demo? Odd how the pants is historically so gender specific and how uncomfortable Butler seems in the young woman's presence.

[@robbiereyes3945]

yes...i need english subtitles...interesting discussion

[@Dewi78]

the god damn violins are so annoying!

[@beastiesandnasties]

@anothersunsetfalls thanks, yes it did :)

[@Tresfres]

*rolls eyes!

[@08Annasia]

arte is a german channel

[@phaan421]

no she's just arguing that if a person is given their gender based on their sexuality then a lesbian is not in fact a woman. what constitutes being a 'woman' isn't something you feel, it's a lived experience which is fluid and in constantly in flux. plus, i do not like the use of the word 'normal'. it's loaded with assumptions and never holds a place in social theory. i think butler's arguments surrounding sex as much a social construction as gender is interesting and worth thought.

[@feeltheillinois]

i like judith but this doc was a real snooze lol. also it needed subtitles

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

feeltheillinois I grateful that it exists, but the doc on Derrida, Bloom, and The Examined Life doc all share the same problems,in that they seem unable to decide whether they are works of Cinema or Encyclopedia entries.... I mean, the tremendous documentary that could be made of Paul de Man and the National reaction to Yale (as well as Cornell, Hopkins, and, later and to a lesser extant, Irvine) and the manner of pedagogy employed in such a citadel, would be amazing! Right now, the ramifications are being felt, as those whom have obtained educations at such institutions during the period Theory came to America are now running Academic Institutions of high standing, ranking-wise, and, because of General Requirements, the manner of thinking that de Man brought into fashion is responsible for altering the way in which we all (both those who agree and disagree) think. I mean, everywhere I go, all I hear is talk, talk, talk about Marxism.

[@SaturnElena]

makes feel dumb that I dont understand a single french word :|

[@beastiesandnasties]

What are they talking about in the art gallery?

[@walterpu8357]

really cannot read the french subtitle, can some one give me a link to english subtitle?

[@chrish12345]

@morphybum No idea

[@fivegodofeast]

What is the full name of this film?

[@kelaltieri]

@Underground906 of course, politics need to come into this.

[@SToyaholic]

@shackleton12 Its really weird, you've talked about really intelligent things, but spelt nearly every word wrong =/ So confused!

[@lalasof]

LIking the way you think.!!!

[@hmds88]

What was Judith describing while using the word pornography?

[@shackleton12]

@SToyaholic gud language is just anuva jargon. if u put ur words in the least winning form possible then u make any sense in dem shine thru like a beacon. quotin Rabelais, "It was upbraided to Demosthenes by an envious surly knave, that his Orations did smell like the sarpler or wrapper of a foul and filthy oil-vessel." its about honesty. if u dress everyfing up fancy wiv jargon people will think they understand and agree wen theres nuthing there at all.

[@barracudatheband]

wish i knew german

[@lowspeedyoyo]

@newfan7 You mean she has "trouble" with her sexuality? Or trouble with her gender?? :) Actualy yes, because that is the whole point: not being regulated by the compulsive heterosexuality and refuzing its regulative power WILL get one in trouble, But the goal should be to create cultural and linguistic enviroment where ownsexuality will not get one in trouble.

[@BenMoquin]

WTH? The subtitles are in French, but the French parts aren't in English? ARE THEY MAKING FUN OF ME???

[@phaan421]

wow. you should read wittig. but then the difference is that wittig has an argument rather than just states random opinions on comment boxes of youtube.

[@coffeegrinded]

what is with this music over her "Jewish background" part? perhaps a French understanding of being Jewish? It's not that I'm offended, but it's kind of unnecessary.

[@Spriggan83]

Yeah..well i don't exactly see documentaries which are about say Christian(Roman Catholic/Protestant/ etc.) subjects like myself and having to point out and depict their own personal faith and justifying points regarding faith. I find this totally unnecessary. Stop using the Religion card. You're not getting any extra points for being a Jew, Muslim, Christian, or what not.

[@plagasul]

jajaja

[@scarymary2k8]

ENGLISH SUBS PLEASE

[@morphybum]

she is rather troublingly condescending about her forebears. why the need to reduce them to hollywood stars? And what exactly is a "Hollywood norm"?

[@kelaltieri]

@givebirthathome I was going to say the same thing. :)

[@mensabs]

Hot guy, except for the haircut.

[@mensabs]

And to think this is one of America's leading intellectuals....

[@onunlimitedblackbox669]

Indispensable.

[@kelaltieri]

@Underground906 I was going to comment on the body dysmorphia too. Do you think she goes with the "ambiguous" look to prove a point in what she "believes" or "teaches" or do you think it's an act and she just doesn't want to come out as transgender and make everything she preaches a sham? :)

[@shackleton12]

@newfan7 the point iz gender is a intelectul idea. u have a problem with butlers sexuality, she cant, her sexuality is herself - ur anxious she isnt normative values r nonsense 4 fascist ideologues

[@Sasha-zh6tp]

This is a tremendously boring docco, I couldn't watch past this segment. If you can't say anything interesting 20 minutes in, you're doing something wrong. Maybe the french dialogue had some substance.

[@OlvisTokyo]

hmmm you re right :/ I expected more..

[@marcconnolly4824]

Maybe French people have patience and an appreciation of nuance.

[@OlvisTokyo]

yes, that's probably the answer to everything.

[@schroeder666]

+Marc Connolly Quel prétention, bravo
