I spent about six weeks back in ‘99 doing nothing much but going through that whole Introduction to Bodies that Matter over and over again, sentence by sentence. And there is no real difficulty in it, as your commentary reveals, there is only a pretence of translating historical materialism into Lacanian double-speak. No one has ever shown how there is a gain involved. Doug repeatedly reposts this fragment of the Introduction, but he has never explained how it, concretely, illumines the topic at hand; without out exception one can make the point without using Butler. She is pretty consistently redundant.
This is a classic. Either she’s hopelessly opaque or hopelessly simple-minded. Sometimes she’s both. Which is it?
