On some other subversions ~ contributing to deliberation on Judith Butler’s concept of law
Čarna Brković
Sažetak
The paper tries to show the cultural, historical and geographical
positioning of Judith Butler’s concept of law as well as to grasp possible implications of the way in which it was constructed. The way of conceptualizing the law determines which subversion forms we will be able to observe/create. If the attention were focused on the context and on the fact that subjects are never only sexual, the law would be seen differently. The paper presents the contexts in which the »third« sex becomes a legitimate action protagonist. The change of epistemological assumptions in the late twentieth century meant the transformation of the concept of science, due to which the intervention into scientific theories today can be seen as tending rather towards more inclusive, than universally true concepts. We can
say that anthropology and feminist theory today are so necessary
because they create the concepts through which we can articulate and accept reality in different ways. Referring to context and to the points of intersection of historical, racial, professional, geographical and sexual power vectors present a useful strategy in the process of fulfilling such a task.
