Search for: [Abstract = "The third chapter engages in a close reading of Butler and subsequently \(relying heavily on Hull and Stoetzler\) in a critical reinterpretation that reads Butler not as an anti\-dialectical thinker but instead as an ambiguous dialectical thinker. Butler interpreted like this paves the way for reading Butler’s feminism firmly within Adorno’s negative dialectics. Adding Adorno’s account of materiality to Butler, while still keeping Butler’s criticism of feminism’s ‘totalizing gestures’ \(1999\) intact, makes it more apparent how Butler’s argument contains a materialist account and gives materiality a more prominent place in Butler’s argument. The lack of materialityin Butler has been criticised by other feminists \(New Materialism\) since the publication of Gender Trouble. Thus, by adding Adorno to Butler, this criticism is met head\-on."]
