Butlerian thought  

Definition

  • Butlerian thought refers to the work of poststructur-alist and queer theorist Judith Butler (1956). In curriculum studies, her theorizing is used to deconstruct binary concepts of gender, reconceptualize identity as nonunitary, and posit an ethics based on the limits of self-knowledge.
