Judith Butler and Theology
Judith Butler is regarded as one of the most popular philosophers of the present. Famous for her theory of gender her wide-ranging work explored such themes as language, power, recognition, vulnerability, mourning, and grievability, revolutions, democratic movements, and resistance. This book provides an overview of Butler's rich scholarship and utilizes selected examples to present opportunities for a theological approach to her work. Of particular interest in this regard are the clear parallels between Butler's thought and progressive theologies, such as Liberation Theology or the New Political Theology founded by Johann Baptist Metz. With attention to Butlers Jewish background, this unique interdisciplinary investigation bridges Butler's thought, political philosophy, and Christian theology. Judith Butler and Theology considers how the reflections and insights of this critical intellectual can help set a constructive theology for the challenges of our century.

Judith Butler, Michel Foucault, and the Theology of Freedom
This book explores how Judith Butler’s work on gender and the shaping of the human subject and Michel Foucault's notion of parrhesia, ‘speaking the truth’, can be made fruitful for a theology of freedom. The volume illustrates the importance of three concepts - freedom, gender (body) and power (critique) - and how this triad provides the foundational categories and structural elements of a theology of freedom. By starting from an analysis of power and the performative potential of gendered embodiment, freedom can be thought of as the basis of creative and critical human action and thereby implemented in theology. The chapters feature several theological-historical case studies that are representative of topics that continue to shape contemporary Catholic norms and thought. In particular, the author reflects on the 13th century with the idea of personal sin and confession, and the 19th century with a gender ideology that has led to the marginalization of difference and dissent. The book shows how Butler and Foucault can provide essential insights for Catholic theology and is valuable reading for scholars of religion, philosophy, and gender and sexuality studies.

Wer zählt?
Welche Umstellungen und Anregungen ergeben sich aus einer vergleichenden Re-Lektüre der Neuen Politischen Theologie nach Johann Baptist Metz und den Theorien Judith Butlers für eine Praktische Theologie in der Spätmoderne? Ellen Geiser nimmt die sieben »Fährten« Anerkennung, Subjekt, Prekarität, Sprache, Verantwortung, kulturelle Verortung und Veränderung in den Blick und stellt Differenzen und Gemeinsamkeiten der Theorien heraus. Dabei eröffnen sich assoziative, diskursive und performative Räume, die auf der Suche nach einem (Denk-)Stil helfen, der die Frage »Wer zählt?« offenhält.
