Riguardo questo articolo

London and New York: Verso, 2009. First edition. First printing, with full number line. Hardcover. Blue boards with white spine lettering. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Publisher's original price intact on jacket flap ($26.95). Comes with archival-quality mylar dust jacket protector. A tight clean copy. Octavo, 193 pages, with index. In this influential volume, Butler examines how state and media frameworks determine which lives are seen as grievable, mournable, or worthy of protection, particularly in the context of war, occupation, and global violence. The book engages with questions of precarity, vulnerability, and ethics, drawing on contemporary conflicts and advancing Butler s ongoing critique of power and norms. Recognized as a significant contribution to political philosophy, gender studies, and critical theory, "Frames of War" extends the arguments of Butler s earlier works such as "Precarious Life.".
