"Bodily Citations accomplishes its prophecies. It uses Judith Butler to startle righteous complacencies across religious traditions, and then it invites Butler herself to avow the religious origins and impulses of her past thinking—and her thinking to come." — Mark D. Jordan, Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Religion, Emory University
"Critically engaged with the work of Judith Butler, the essays in this fascinating volume offer creatively queer readings of the Bible, vital supplements to church doctrine, and original theories of ritual. This collection is exciting, timely, and provocative." — Kelly Oliver, Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy, Vanderbilt University
"The lively and incisively intelligent essays in this volume offer a lucid account of the key notions in Judith Butler's thought-among them, subjectivity, performativity, abjection, agency, resistance, subversion, and the materializing power of the body. But not only do the authors engage and apply these notions to a variety of debates in religious communities across the world; they also critically assess them, and every one of these original studies has profound implications for the future viability of sex, gender, queer, and feminist theory." — Janet Gyatso, Hershey Professor of Buddhist Studies, the Divinity School, Harvard University, and coauthor of
