Brazilian conservatives react to Judith Butler

9 Nov 2017


Captura de tela 2017-11-02 18.07.07

Philosopher Judith Butler  visited Brazil to launch two books and participate in the International Colloquium on the Ends of Democracy at SESC Vila Mariana in São Paulo. On this occasion conservative forces mobilized against her presence in the country. They made Butler an icon of “gender ideology”  and a political target, even when  in none of the events in which she participated, she would speak about the subject. In protest organized at  SESC on the day of the Colloquium an effigy of Butler represented as a witch was burned,  and a few days later the philosopher and his companion Wendy Brown were victims of aggression at the Congonhas airport. Butler, however, was not intimidated but engaged in a   dialogue with this complex national context.
