A Critical Note on Vulnerability in Resistanceby Judith Butler, Zeynep Gambetti and Leticia Sabsay (eds.)
Abstract: The present note is dedicated to the book Vulnerability in Resistance edited by Judith Butler, Zeynep Gambetti, and Leticia Sabsay. The volume consists of 13 chapters, of which each tells an altogether different story, yet what connects all of them are the ever-returning keywords: resistance and vulnerability. In the English language, the latter term covers a broader gamut of meanings than its Polish equivalent (bezbronność), comprising in itself such concepts as helplessness, exposure, proneness to harm, but also fragility. The editors of the volume and the authors of the contributions alike attempt to revisit the relation between these two central terms.
